Brass Monkey

This is the first restaurant I tried in the St. Petersburg area. My friend Emily took me here because I asked for a good, comfy and cheap restaurant to drink as a “quick” stop before I had to go.

She mentioned she has come to this restaurant with her family several times already. That they like all the servers because they take good care of them even though restaurant is always so busy - I loved the fact that the restaurant is right across the beach. That was the main reason why I -needed- to sit outside.

Food came in medium big sizes. Very fulfilling and tasty. Clearly fresh.

I’ll definitely will be coming back in the future. I’m captivated by the menu and I’ll like to try different things in the future. It’ also could be a good spot to stop by and get a quick buzz with friends. Specially if there’s an interest in star gazing after.

We visited here three times during our 3 week stay. It is a really cool spot, right off the beach. It's themed around the Baltimore Ravens, and it has a great atmosphere. The monkey balls, crab cakes, and believe it or not, grilled cheese, were our favorites. We also enjoyed the Ahi tuna, pictured. We had great service and would definitely go back. The only reason for not giving a 5, is because food quality was inconsistent from one visit to the next.

Nice restaurant on the beach with a great view of the water. They have a pretty diverse menu. The food was tasty, service was prompt and attentive

If you are looking for Maryland food I'm Florida...GO HERE!! Never had a crabcake outside of Maryland I would endorse in 53 years, now I do. The crabcake Reuben is truly amazing. Honey and Old Bay wings...YUM!! Atmosphere is fun and so Baltimore. Will definitely come back next time I travel to Florida!

The Bay burger, crab artichoke dip, and fish & chips were awesome! Great service and atmosphere. We will be back next time!! The crab artichoke dip was devoured fore we took the photo- sorry.

Monkey balls as a starter, the crab cake burger, and Crab dip chicken sandwich. Left us stuffed and wanting more, highly recommend stopping by here at sunset as the views and location are fantastic! Also noteworthy is all the references and memorabilia related to Baltimore sports. Definitely would visit again!

There are a few reasons why I gave this restaurant only 2 stars.
Our server Morgan was initially very sweet but then seemed to get frustrated throughout our experience there.. She was forgetting to bring us different things so we had to keep asking. In particular we needed silverware and and she said they were out so she brought us plastic wear . That's fine unless you need to cut some meat which then it makes it very difficult.. We went to the bar To get some silverware and they seemed to have it readily available. Unfortunately our waitress lied to us on that account.
Regarding the food it's definitely of a lesser quality than expected, even for a beach And sandals restaurant.
The waitress brought us old wine which then we had to go up to the bar to request a fresh bottle. The manager Then stepped in and opened a fresh bottle for us. This is the only reason why this restaurant gets 2 stars instead of none.

We wondered into this place while riding our bikes to Pass a Grill from St. Pete Beach. The place is up a flight of steps. The bar is small, 7-10 max. The restaurant was larger with both indoor and outdoor seating. My drinks were perfect, and I had a few due to the atmosphere and good conversation. The view was awesome even from indoors due to all the glass. The food was good and from what I saw from others eating, it all looked good. We had a great day and the friendly staff contributed to the fun. It is a casual spot, so we fit right in.
