chill restaurant & bar

wow. their iced coffee had me addicted. their shrimp and grits is a "must"! verygreatfood and staff. we go any chance we can!! you won't be disappointed!

amazing. one of the best meals i have had. food has always been an exciting part of coming to st. pete, and after 20 years i i figured i had found the best places. stumbling upon chill made me reevaluate. every small dish and drink was asgreatas the last, and the balsamic glaze was to die for.

best place in st. pete. we've been coming to this area for the past 15 years and have eaten at most of the local restaurants. chill is my new favorite place in st. pete beach. on our last trip down for a week, i think we stopped in at least four times. my parents live there and go frequently too. the atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious. the lighting, décor, tables are inviting, comfortable with good happy background music. the food is amazing. fresh ingredients, not your normal fare with a fresh, unique twist on most of their dishes. we've tried a variety of dishes: omelets, salads, sandwiches, soups. omelets are big and fluffy with the use of fresh ingredients making for wonderful flavor profiles. portions are very generous/ filling. my husband had the clam chowder and said it was the best he ever had (even over our visit to maine!). he is still talking about that soup! the service is outstanding. we love all the servers and staff, but our favorite is gilbert. he is prompt, efficient, super friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, accommodating, and has the best, most positive attitude that is absolutely contagious. we appreciate this place and all the staff that make it thegreatplace that it is. highly recommend chill.

very cozy and laid back atmosphere!greatfood! not your normal "meat and potatoes" menu. our favorite restaurant during our trip.

stopped for coffee, stayed for brunch. we stopped by on labor day weekend for just a cup of coffee and after agreatconversation with the owner, we stayed for a fabulous lunch. the pina colada waffles and curry,apple chicken salad were fantastic. no worries, we did end up getting our coffee. we had the dirty iced mocha and the white russian, both were excellent. if you are in the st. pete beach, definitely visit chill at steam!

license to chill. my hubby and i were in treasure island to celebrate our anniversary on labor day weekend...in searching for agreatplace to have breakfast/brunch, we tried a couple of the highly rated restaurants listed here...but they were so crowded that we ended up at chill. wow...we thanked the universe for sending us to this fabulous place to have brunch. i had crab cakes benedict, which was simply the best breakfast i have ever eaten. there were two very large, mostly meat, crab cakes on a bed of spinach, topped with two perfectly poached eggs, home-made hollandaise with home fries. my mouth is watering just writing this. in addition, i also had a bloody mary that was to die for...they make their own mix from fresh vegetables and you can certainly tell a difference. my hubby had a philly cheesesteak scramble, that was also very very yummy and unique. next time we go to st. pete's beach it won't be for the sunsets, or the snorkling, but just to have this wonderful breakfast again!!! go there.

magnificent and delicious! friendly service, live music and food for all!!greathealthy vegan entrees as well as options for carnivores. definitely agreathangout and will be returning!

disappointing. i am disappointed to share such a bad experience as we have been to steam multiple times and hadgreatexperiences and we were waited on by the owner and her family who are wonderful and we wanted to check out chill. i'm not able to comment on the quality of the food though the menu had agreatvariety. we never had the opportunity to order as we were not greeted by a server even though we had been seated for over 10 minutes. during this 10-12 minute wait we observed the server shooting the breeze (nothing related to the tables order) with the booth directly behind ours. he never communicated that he would be right with us or even acknowledged our presence. after waiting roughly 12 minutes to be acknowledged i went up to the hostess stand to ask if we could get some service and though she saw me standing at the stand she continued chatting with another table for over 3 minutes. when i arrived back to the table my companions were amazed that in that amount of time no staff attempted to communicate or help me. needless to say we left, won't go back and will be sure all of our contacts don't waste their time. three of the four of us have either waited tables or managed restaurants and were shocked at the lack of communication, acknowledgement and service as we know the owner of the establishment would never operate in such a manner but apparently needs to do better screening when hiring to be sure staff meets her standards.

fabulous fun andgreatfiid. we are st. pete beach locals and just recently visited chill for the first time. we were out for a stroll, and since it was a monday, many other places were closed. this was just a snack for mid afternoon. we sat outside for the nice breeze. i had caribbean chicken salad.....to die for if one dies for a salad! ample serving, just the right seasoning and the pineapple that was perfect. hubby has health issues, and his smoothie was delicious. so good we returned 2 days later. this is our new bfr....great people and fabulous food! btw, french onion soup was wonderful.

amazing food in a beautiful trendy restaurant. we went there for breakfast and sat at the counter where we watched a chef prepare the food. i was so impressed to watch him handle every order that came in with ease. the waiter was friendly. i ordered an omelet and my husband ordered a brie crepe. wow! so good. the only negative i would say was that the lunch chef that was coming on duty and a horrible attitude. he was crabbing at the manager and at the breakfast chef w/o care to customers who could hear him.
we were invited back by the manager for dinner so we went late, after 9 pm. totally different experience. the waiter seemed friendly at first . he made some helpful suggestions and left us alone to make our decision....a long long time. he was caught up conversing with another table. then he came back to take our order and before submitting it, went back to the other table where he continued having a 20 min conversation about a chemical peel he had. the chef saw what was happening and finally flagged the manager over where we resubmitted our order with her. at this time our waiter had moved on to doing his end of night chores. after finishing our brie plate we waited to order dessert but no one came back to see if we needed anything else. we also observed customers getting up to ask the manager for more drinks because the waiters were nowhere to be found. to sum it up,greatfood but half the staff were either lazy or apathetic and had rotten attitudes and the other half are left to make up the lack of their co-workers. this place needs a manager to get on it. this would be agreatplace to shoot the next episode of "restaurant steakout."

watch and communicate with chef!. it is cute restaurant close to beach.
we order daily special, which was duck carbonara.
chef told us he cured duck and smoked, it was solo good!
filet-mignon was tender, and semi glacé sauce was delicious,
squash spaghetti was good too! everything we had was very good.
we watched our food cooked, and talked to chef about food.
over all it wasgreatexperience.

where to start?greatdecor. sitting at the chefs table, three high-tops, right next to the open kitchen. fantastic small plates. fish, beef, spinach, chicken - all excellent. staff personable.chefs oscar and madison are fantastic.

wonderful! every time i am in the area i make it a point to have dinner at chill. the food is always incredible, and last night was no exception. i admit, reading previous reviews made me somewhat nervous since i hadn't been in a few months, but i can assure you that any & all kinks are completely worked out. our chefs were competent, quick, & fun to watch, and our waitress, lara, was wonderful. she was friendly, attentive, & allowed us to eat at our own pace without rush or pressure, which is exactly what you want in a tapas restaurant. the menu features a sweet baked brie or a savory brie. we opted for the savory one & fell in love! it's amazing served w/bread & crostini's. i highly recommend it & it's the perfect tapas start to warm up those taste buds. we're going back to try the sweet brie next! we ordered the beef & shrooms next, and it too, did not disappoint! the beef was cooked perfectly and the mushrooms were simply fabulous. we opted for dessert next & tried the "red", a red velvet pudding cake with caramel & vanilla ice cream. it was warm, sweet, and not too heavy. perfect way to end our tapas night. oh, & i can't forget to mention the sangria! we had the traditional house sangria. perfectly sweet, and agreatdeal if you order a pitcher! overall, i had another incredible experience at chill & wish i could convince ruthie, the incredibly nice and ever-expanding owner, to relocate the entire restaurant to rhode island!!

this foodie's favorite. ruthie, jackie and the entire staff are passionate about what they do !greatatmosphere,greatfood andgreatattitude. can't stay away. thanks

surprisingly awesome!!. we wanted something different and were amazed howgreateverything tasted. this people were friendly and the service was great.
