Perched high above the white sand and emerald waters of St. Pete Beach sits the area’s hottest new destination; Level 11 Rooftop Artisan Bistro Bar. You’re probably already familiar with the St. Pete staple, Spinners, the rotating restaurant on top of the Grand Plaza Hotel on St. Pete Beach, but now there’s another reason to take the elevator to the top of the iconic round hotel. Offering more than just incredible views and historic location, Level 11brings a fresh, classy take to the rooftop experience. The landscape and décor aren’t the only things Level 11 has going for it. The menu is something to behold, serving up delicious, internationally inspired small plates, light fares, and dishes to share until 11pm. Their collection of fresh seafood dishes like Ahi Tuna Tartare, Caribbean Curried Mussels, and Key Lime Shrimp Ceviche (and that’s just the start of it) are all bursting with bright citrus notes and seasoned to perfection, evoking a tropical far east fusion. Or check out the more savory, Mediterranean influenced plates like the Glazed Pork Shanks, Duck Bacon Potstickers, or the Charcuterie & Cheese Board just to name a few. Whatever you choose, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. And what better to accompany all this gourmet food than an exquisitely mixed drink or sumptuous glass of wine. Pair a bold red or a refreshing white with your delectable meal. And be on the lookout for the Weekly Wine Selection featuring a new highlighted wine every week. If you’re craving something of the mixed variety, slide into a classy craft cocktail like the Rosemary Lavender Lemonade, a frozen favorite like the Spiced Mango Margarita, or the classic Eleven Martini. Or maybe you’re looking to sip on something a little more straight forward. Kick back with a domestic or craft beer, including local brews from 3 Daughters Brewing, St. Petersburg Brewing Co., Coppertail Brewing Co., and Big Storm Brewing Co. Level 11 displays a sophisticated, worldly aura that you might find in other international beach cities (think Barcelona or Mykonos) while staying comfortably rooted in the St. Pete Beach vibe. So do yourself a favor and take the elevator up to the 11th floor of the Grand Plaza and enjoy an amazing meal, a delicious drink, a beautiful sunset, and let Level 11 help you slip into a magical evening you won’t soon forget.
