ST. PETE BEACH, Fla. – 2012-11-19 — /travelprnews.com/ — Offering a mouth-watering array of unique dining options in one complete resort experience, the TradeWinds Island Resorts on St. Pete Beach are sure to please even the most discriminating palates. Guests of the TradeWinds Island Resorts – the TradeWinds Island Grand and Guy Harvey Outpost, a Tradewinds Beach Resort– enjoy room charging privileges at all food and beverage outlets located throughout the scenic Gulf front properties.
TradeWinds Island Grand
Featuring artfully prepared meals, the Palm Court Italian Grill serves inventive culinary dishes that explore all of the different regions of Italy. From the heartwarming risotto and fresh gnocci indicative of the countryside of Northern Italy to Costolette DIAgnello (rack of lamb) that transports guests to a trattoria in Lombardy, guests of this elegant restaurant may choose to dine indoors surrounded by colorful artwork or outdoors under the stars on the courtyard patio. A richly burnished cruvinet in the Palm Court Bistro invite patrons to linger a little longer and sample a selection of 16 fine wines served by the glass. Additional diversions include Starbucks® coffee served in a French press or an elegant Numi Blooming Tea. When steeped in hot water, the hand crafted tea flowers delicately bloom into breathtaking shapes and exotic flavors. All of these tempting options can be partnered with an array of unique dessert specialties including Limoncello frozen sorbet and Stracciatella, a milk chocolate and imported vanilla bean gelato sprinkled with cocoa-covered hazelnuts.
At Bermudas Steak & Seafood restaurant, guests can savor prime aged cuts of premium Black Angus beef and fresh fish, all served with a Caribbean flair in an island casual atmosphere. A buffet-style breakfast is also served daily in this casual and bright restaurant. Friendly service and festive surroundings combine with the spectacular waterside view to create the perfect dining experience.
Both Palm Court Italian Grill and Bermudas Steak & Seafood are now serving Gulf WildTM seafood, so diners know exactly where their fish originated. The change ensures the fish are responsibly caught and that guests are receiving the freshest possible seafood from sustainability-focused fisheries in the Gulf of Mexico.
Guests who order specially-marked seafood from the menu are presented a tag number which is directly tied to the Gulf WildTM TransparenSeaTM system. Diners can visit the myGulfWild.com web site and type in their unique tag number to see the specific fish type, a photo and biographic information on the captain, harvesting vessel’s name and background, documented location where the fish was caught and more. Gulf Wild fish is randomly tested by higher standards than the federal government’s so TradeWinds Island Grand diners will know their seafood selection is the freshest and healthiest available.
Located right next door to Bermudas, Beef ‘O’ Brady’s, is the family-friendly place on St. Pete Beach to watch the big game. Featuring NFL Sunday Ticket, plenty of televisions and an array of fun foods from burgers to wings, Beef’s is open from lunch until late night.
The unique Flying Bridge is actually a floating Florida cracker cottage, docked permanently over the meandering TradeWinds Island Grand waterway. With paddleboats passing beneath and beautiful Florida skies above, guests can sample a selection of nachos, grouper and chicken sandwiches, fresh salads and more in this laid-back restaurant, complete with a beachfront deck. A special sunset menu serves up grilled seafood items while the spectacular sun goes down over the Gulf.
Guests can drop in to RedBeard’s Sharktooth Tavern for some liquid libations and a little camaraderie with Capt. RedBeard himself. A wide selection of bottled domestic and imported beers are available, along with live entertainment and karaoke. Overlooking the signature TradeWinds waterway, RedBeard’s Sharktooth Tavern hosts a variety of activities from sharktooth necklaces to a meet and greet with RedBeard. Salty’s beachfront tiki bar provides easy access for guests enjoying poolside fun. To grab a cool tropical drink or a quick sandwich or burger without missing a minute of the incredible Florida sun, Salty’s satisfies. Those wanting to linger, may want to sip a frozen drink on the deck while listening to the cool tunes of the seasonally scheduled live entertainment.
Awakenings Coffee and Spirits Bar invites guests to begin and end their day in the Grand Palm Colonnade surrounded by rows of majestic palm trees. The delicious aroma of freshly brewed coffees by world-famous Starbucks® combined with flavored cappuccinos, espressos and Starbucks® biscotti are a great way to start the day off right.
In the evening, guests may choose to gather with friends at the elegant lobby bar for tropical cocktails, cordials, wines and spirited coffee drinks.
Perfect for families and active guests on the go, the TradeWinds Island Grand offers Pizza Hut Express, where everyone in the family can get their favorite toppings on their own personal pan pizza. Located next to the Pizza Hut, the Ice Cream Shoppe is the ideal sweet spot for a cool and tasty break from the sun. The Deli supplies all the ingredients for a perfect picnic or a well-stocked in-room refrigerator, including freshly made sandwiches, salads, drinks and wines.
