Editorial Review for The Hurricane Seafood Restaurant – by Citysearch Staff

In Short
Overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, this sprawling restaurant features stunning sunset views, best experienced from the rooftop deck. The menu is crammed with a variety of seafood, but the Hurricane is known for its grouper--breaded, fried, grilled, blackened or broiled. Snow crab, Maryland-style crab cakes, shrimp, scallops, fish and steaks are also available. An extensive selection of specialty drinks include the Bakua Freeze, a riff on the pina colada with banana and Kahlua.

This restaurant is the worst place I have been to in a long time. The waiter was mean & stormed out leaving us waiting & waiting for food. We were told he was sick & having a bad day. So this is a reason to be mean to patrons. The manager (pretending to be one) was defensive & not apologetic, Food was common & overpriced. Please do not waste your time or money on this establishment. They were good back in the day>> There are places to eat in the St. Pete area that actually want your business. This is not one of them.

Ate there reluctantly after reading reviews on this site. I would probably return. Others are largely correct about the food: it was good, but certainly not amazing. We cleaned our plates, but the meal wasn't memorable. Others have said that the place is a tourist trap and customers are herded in like cattle... we didn't find that at all. Our waitress, in fact, was excellent. Friendly, knowledgeable about the food, and efficient. In a world of bad service, they did NOT fall into that category. Prices for food and drinks were what you would expect for this type of restaurant. We ate on a Thursday evening, and watched the sun set after we finished eating. We felt no pressure to leave so they could turn the table. I'd return- not for the food, but for the nice experience.

Pros: Sitting outside in the breeze and watching the sunset

Cons: Food- ok, but nothing amazing
