Serving up warm hospitality, an elegant atmosphere and impeccable dishes crafted by an award-winning chef, it’s no wonder Elliott Aster was named a recommended restaurant in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide Florida.

Tucked inside The Vinoy – one of St. Pete’s most glamorous waterfront hotels – Elliott Aster’s striking lounge and dining room are the perfect backdrop for equally stunning wood-fired steaks, freshly caught seafood, housemade pastas and a signature antipasti bar. Offerings like charred eggplant and Insalata di Mare with pink shrimp, octopus and lemon are accompanied by an ever-changing array of salumi served with piparras, apricot mostarda and focaccia.

On Elliott Aster’s pasta menu, you’ll find creative options like braised duck pappardelle with pecorina and salted black peppercorns; lobster spaghetti with fava beans, lemon and tarragon; beef cheek tortelli with aged balsamic and parmesan; tagliatelle bolognese with Sicilian oregano; and corn and ricotta cestini with earthy chantrelles.

Entrees could include local red grouper, Mediterranean sea bream, lacquered brick chicken and grilled rack of lamb, plus an all-star lineup of Wagyu and Prime steaks from the grill, which you can have topped with bearnaise, bordelaise or black truffle butter.

An impressive selection of wines, specialty cocktails and desserts will help accompany – or cap off – a meal to remember.

Those dishes are crafted by renowned Chef Lee Wolen, who honed his skills in Europe, New York and Chicago before joining Boka Restaurant Group, a partner in Elliott Aster that manages more than two dozen highly rated restaurants nationwide.

Elliott Aster is open for drinks and dinner Tuesday through Sunday, with a popular brunch menu available Saturday and Sunday. With a stunning waterfront patio, an elegant lounge and dining room, a warm and welcoming dining experience awaits.
