A peek in the window at 400 Beach - St Petersburg Florida
October 21st, 2008 categories: 400 Beach, Downtown St Petersburg, Places to Eat
The workshop at 400 BeachAn early morning glimpse of work beginning in the space at the northeast corner of 400 Beach in downtown St Petersburg. It’s almost like Santa’s workshop - there are no signs. A drafting table with plans is set up in the unfinished space and pipes are being laid. It must be the beginning of 400 Beach Seafood and Tap House, the new restaurant being developed by Steve Westphal of Parkshore Grill fame.
Scheduled to open on February 15th, 2009, this seafood companion to Parkshore Grill should be an instant success with the same ownership and management, the same sidewalk dining across from the park and Vinoy yacht basin.

400 Beach - located in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida
March 30th, 2008 categories: 400 Beach
400 Beach, a luxury condominium completed in December 2007 is located on Beach Drive NE in downtown St. Petersburg. It is on Beach Drive NE and takes up the whole block from 4th Ave N to 5th Ave N. The ground level on Beach Drive and 4th Ave have retail shops and restaurants (so far only one shop is open, but that’s the plan) so the actual entrance to the condominiums and to the garage are to the west of the building, on Bay St.
Across Beach Drive is Vinoy Park, a public park that sometimes has art shows, music concerts or other entertainment. Most of the time it’s a quiet, green park. Vinoy Park is bordered on the east by Bayshore Drive and then a sidewalk that runs along the waterfront. Vinoy Basin is a protected “harbor” that often has moored sailboats. The marina for the Renaissance Vinoy Hotel is on the north side, and on the east side the basin opens into Tampa Bay. The annual Christmas Boat Parade comes into the basin and circles it before heading back out into the bay.

Ooze and Schmooze at 400 Beach
February 22nd, 2008 categories: 400 Beach, Downtown St Petersburg
All’s not well at Oooze and Schmooze
After reading an article in the St Pete Times today, I’ve concluded that not only is Ooze and Schmooze at 400 Beach not likely to open this spring (even Hammerhead Grille is months behind schedule) … there may be others issues.
2/20/08 I’ve added some additional links below to blogs and comments that have appeared on the web, primarily from Laura Reiley’s blog, as well as a followup article in the St Pete Times.
The Times reported that Jeanne Pierola, former Executive Chef at Bern’s Restaurant, visited the Beach Drive site and inquired about it. Wherever she might choose to locate a restaurant, it would be great to have Jeanne here in St. Pete.
