Wharf Restaurant, St Petersburg Beach

As you sit in this eatery, you feel as if you are on a boat drifting along the Intracoastal Waterway. In front of you are boats bobbing in the surf at the next-door marina as sea gulls soar and screech overhead. The bar has wrap-around windows that are open year-round and the salt air breeze doesn't cost a thing. If you were lucky enough to catch your own fish earlier in the day, the chef will cook it for you to create a doubly memorable meal.
