Tales from the sea:

“In 2015, Hope Montgomery and Jason Ruhe opened Brick & Mortar in downtown St. Petersburg to great acclaim. It should come as no surprise that […] their sophomore effort brings food just as delicious, with a seafaring twist. The new restaurant, which opened in early 2020, is inspired by the couple’s love for the open water and includes standout dishes like seared scallops with bucatini carbonara and a whole fried fresh catch plated atop coconut rice and a snappy green papaya slaw. The restaurant interior imbues cozy nautical vibes but the best seat in the house is on the outdoor deck where ― if you time it just right — you can catch spectacular views of the sunset.”
