Gulfside Kitchen — Restaurant in Saint Pete Beach

We stayed at rumfish for three nights and ate breakfast here 3 times and had lunch via the bar twice. I would have easily given this an overall five stars. It was very expensive, but expected being a beach bar/restaurant. The reason I'm knocking off a star is because of our final breakfast experience. I'm actually sitting here at the table while writing the review. We sat at an open table as we were instructed to do the past 2 days. There were 2 other tables inside available when we sat. We then waited for 10 minutes (my wife claims 15) as servers passed by and failed to acknowledge us. A woman (Ali?) who appears to be a Manger of sorts then started to clean the table next to us and then set it. As she walked by also not acknowledging us we grabbed her and asked for menus. She then told us that there was a wait and we needed to vacate the table. We explained we were told to seat ourselves the past 2 days and that there were open tables and we were ignored for 10+ minutes. She told us too bad and she needed the table. Then another server brought us menus and she then started snatching them up. She was being a real witch. We protested further explaining it was not our fault that they didn't acknowledge us while there were still open tables. She finally gave up and handed us the menus again begrudgingly and said enjoy your breakfast. She set a really bad tone for our last day. Everyone else we encountered was great and friendly. The food for breakfast and lunch was great. Just....her. She handled the situation poorly. She even walked by multiple times ignoring us before we got...

This was the worst experience I’ve ever had to deal with. We got there at 10:25 breakfast didn’t stop serving until 1045. We came with a party of seven the manager Allie told us that want to separate your parties because I will not be able to put you guys in a party of seven at one table have to be two separate tables if you guys we’re going to eat breakfast, we said that’ll be fine so as we are ordering breakfast a waitress that I don’t have her name came storming out of the kitchen stating that we cannot take anymore breakfast orders….. our waitress continue to take our order because she knew that we were able to order we were the last group for breakfast so that being said we order our breakfast, there was tables that became available out on the patio by the pool, we go out together and move our tables as a party of seven together after we’ve already ordered our breakfast, the same lady that came storming out telling us we were not allowed to order breakfast came outside and began to put her hands on my wife stating that we are not allowed move together…..I would advise You never to go to this restaurant and have to deal with the sick awful and disgusting people was the worst service I’ve had in my entire life of ever being at this resort. Advise...

This place should be called "Poolside Eats", because it's conveniently located between the family pool and the adults only pool.

My recommendation: Go on the weekend.

My husband and I spent the whole week at the resort, so we went here several times. During the week, the food was so soggy that I couldn't eat without wiping my hands a bunch of times, and the staff acted like they couldn't wait to get out of there.

I have to admit, the mudslide was AMAZING! (Photo Attached)

Then Saturday happened.

It was super busy, so it took some time to get our food. I ordered a quesadilla because I didn't feel like ordering off the "hand held" menu that I know I couldn't actually hold in my hands. I expected it to be greasy as well, but I didn't feel like walking out in the sun to go elsewhere for lunch.

To my surprise, it was the perfect quesadilla!...
