There is nothing quite like dining with an ocean view. We’re lucky to live in a state that offers some pretty impeccable views as we dine. Take The Grand Plaza Hotel in Florida as the perfect example. There is not one, but two opportunities for you to dine high above the ocean with nothing but emerald water and white sand as far as the eye can see.

Sitting atop the Grand Plaza Hotel in St. Petersburg, Florida is not one, but two opportunities to dine with the beach as your backdrop.

First, there is Level 11, a rooftop lounge and restaurant that offers al fresco dining and views of the ocean as far as the eye can see.

You can also dine indoors at Spinner’s Bistro, which is just as high up, but offers a more refined dining approach indoors.

Spinner’s is located on the 12th floor of the hotel and actually is the only rotating restaurant in the state!

Or, you can always choose the more casual approach of dining at Level 11 with a cold bottle of wine and a plate of charcuterie.

Located on the 11th floor of the hotel, you can grab a table outside and relax with a cocktail and some light bites as the lounge comes alive at night.

Perched high above the turquoise water of St. Pete Beach you can see for miles, with some of the best views on the coast.

No matter which option at the Grand Plaza Hotel you choose, you’re guaranteed to have the beach as your backdrop and it doesn’t get much better than that.
