This morning in the early hours of the morning, there were signs of activity at the northeast corner of 400 Beach in downtown St Petersburg. No posters, no signs, no "Coming Soon".
Those in the know, know that this will be 400 Beach Seafood and Tap House, scheduled to open on February 15th, 2009. Steve Westphal and Chef Tyson, who run Parkshore Grill a block to the south (at 300 Beach Drive NE), are expanding and plan to have a wonderful seafood restaurant.
Parkshore Grill is a favorite place for dining inside or out - great food, atmosphere, and you'll always meet people you know.
This was kind of like looking at Santa's workshop, to see a drafting table and plans set up as the Command Station, with trenches and pipes stretched out in multiple directions.
Downtown St Petersburg Florida is really a great place to live, work, play and enjoy!
Thanks for the heads-up, Sharon! Now I can't wait to try this place. Just the sort of insider's tip that only an in-the-know local agent can provide. (btw, although I show up in Active Rain as being in the boonies - Riverview - my company's headquarters is in Clearwater, and I'm over there quite a bit)
Thanks Sharon, I'm up in the Tampa area infrequently now and I need this insight for weekend jaunts. You're the best!
Sharon - I am sure this will be a big hit in the area and the owner is already known. One of these days I will have to visit the area.

Make sure and give us an update when completed! (I mean the food :)
Morning Sharon,
In today's economy this is a big undertaking. Obviously they are well established and will have the following to support the new venture. Great news. Looking forward to their grand opening.
Looks like it would have been a yummy way to celebrate the Rays World Series Win. Where will you be for the victory dance? Thanks for sharing & Greetings from Paradise.
Sharon We are so alike in the things we enjoy about in posting for Localism. I love to write about my favorite places and I love your concise and tasty posts!
PS I hope the team does well tonight. The Series is one of the most amazing things that can happen to a community!
I love St Petersburg! I'm going to have to check this restaurant out!
