Great place to eat. Service and food was great. Worth the cost of the money. What I loved the most was the view as it spins and you can see the city and the beach in 360. Nice touch, will return

SRG has it all. Service. Atmosphere. Food. Club like feeling outside. Fantastic views. I like the nice touch of them pointing out key locations (with distance) at the various compass points. The menu offered something for everyone. Some of the items were familiar, while some were interesting amalgamations. I was not sure I was going to like my Seared Scallops dish. However, the contrasting textures and tastes were a welcomed surpise. The only disappointment was the Key West Key Lime pie. It was more a tart but it lacked any of the punch I expected from a Key Lime based dessert.

I'm sure the sunset view would have been phenomenal...if we hadn't arrived late because our toddler was throwing a fuss about getting into her car seat. The restaurant was gracious enough to let us have our seats and very understanding of our situation. Best to make a day reservation then, otherwise you'll be treated to a 360 view of the Tampa skyline and darkness out in the ocean. If you do go at night, however, you'll still be treated with the charming candlelit vibe of the restaurant, replete with smooth music that will make you feel far classier than you really are. And the food is great no matter what time of the day you go. The steak is supplied by Creekstone Farms, so all my halal homies take note of a fine dining restaurant we can eat at! The filet minon was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The seafood medley, served in a rich, creamy sauce and flaky puff pastry on top was a fun spin on what could have been the same boring American seafood preparation that you get elsewhere. This dish was reminiscent of some Peruvian flavors. Our waitress emphasized that we couldn't leave without trying the coconut cream cake. We had no space left but couldn't say no; we're glad we didn't. The cake was subtly sweet and big on coconut flavor, which delicate layers of moist cake in between. Take yourself for a spin and see what it's all about!

Spinners Rooftop Grille is located at the Bellwether Hotel. There are two ways to get to Spinners. One is the elevator right in the lobby of the hotel (it is glass so you can see out) or the elevator that is tucked further down the hallway of the hotel. Depends on the time of day. We came for brunch (made reservations online and super easy) so the elevator that is in the lobby was closed and you had to use the hotel elevator instead. Once getting up to Spinners the lobby is super tight! The hotel elevator takes you right to the middle of Spinners - there are some high top chairs to sit and wait at the hostess stand but it got cramped pretty quickly. The hostess was very nice and seated us right away. The outer floor is what is moving to give you that 360 trip around the restaurant. We were told it takes about an hour to do a full go around. There are signs that tell you what direction you are facing and what cities are in that direction. Wait staff were great - very friendly and were on it with re-filling drinks and clearing plates. One staff was asking patrons if they wanted their picture taken as well. The brunch was a buffet style with different stations. No one was manning any stations though, the food was all laid out already. A ton of food with a good blend of breakfast, lunch and even dessert. To name a few options - French toast, frittatas, bacon, yogurt bar, bagel bar, pinwheel sandwiches, chocolate fountain, shrimp, cookies. Breakfast wise it seemed like they had everything except pancakes and waffles. All the food tasted yummy. Bathrooms are very small (single stall) and in the middle of the spinning restaurant. I would come during the day time - otherwise once the sun is gone you don't see anything beach/views wise. The views are awesome even when looking out onto St. Pete city. You are paying for those views and experience - but at least staff were on it with service and brunch was good and filling. Expensive? Of course it was!

Made a reservation weeks ago simply to ensure we got a spot as we are from SC and drove here yesterday so wasn't sure what to expect. We were seated promptly and the waitress was really nice and informed us what the catch of the day was. My husband and I enjoyed our meals and ambiance. This restaurant is also a good place to people watch the folks that are one floor down at the outdoor bar & lounge.

You are most certainly paying for the view, so if anyone believes otherwise you are fooling yourself. Yes, the prices are high, but I would not take back the view for anything. We ordered the filet and grouper with a crab cake and rice. The filet was prepared to order with good flavor. The grouper was good, but I wished it was cooked just a little longer. The rice was a perfect complement to the grouper. The crab cake was not good and lacked crab. Our server was pleasant and helpful in selecting my dinner as I was tossing between two items.

The view and novelty of a revolving restaurant are the main draws of Spinners. It really is quite breathtaking! Our server was friendly and efficient. When our bruschetta didn't arrive in a timely way, he took it off our bill. We thoroughly enjoyed the bruschetta, especially the balsamic reduction. Our entrees (both seafood) were flavorful. Mine had just the right amount of heat. There was a party of eight next to us who were rather loud, which made it difficult for us to talk. Perhaps it's the acoustics of the building. All in all, it was a memorable experience. If I could rate 4.5, I would. The only reason it's not a 5 is due to the acoustics. If you're trying to have a romantic dinner it would interfere.

Great place with amazing views!! I was able to see the sunset from here. We didn't have reservations for the restaurant. We did enjoy the cocktails and the view. I would love to come back and make reservations as you get an outstanding 360 view while your dining.
