Nestled along the sun-kissed shores of St. Pete Beach, Maritana is a culinary gem that beckons food enthusiasts and beachgoers alike. This upscale restaurant, located at 3400 Gulf Blvd, offers a unique dining experience that combines the elegance of fine dining with the relaxed vibe of coastal Florida.

We stayed at The Don Cesar and had dinner here on a Saturday night around 8pm. We were so impressed that we returned for dinner a few nights later. Both times we had an exceptional dining experience. Also both times we had a crescent shaped booth along the wall, which is worth requesting.

This is superb fine dining. The restaurant has an elegant atmosphere and is perfect for a romantic dinner or a special occasion.

Our sever Sarai was a true professional (we specifically requested her for our second dinner). Super attentive (water glasses refilled without asking) and very accommodating to make sure there were no food allergy issues.

All the food we ordered was fresh, nicely presented, expertly prepared and delicious. Salad, appetizer, entree, and dessert were perfectly spaced, and we were never rushed. Just a wonderful dining experience.

This is an expensive fine dining restaurant, but definitely worth it for the elegant ambience, amazing food and terrific service. We will definitely return the next time we are on vacation.

This is one of my favorite destinations in all of Pinellas County. A few other places offer the grandeur and the elegance that you will find here. A complete evening can be found with drinks and beautiful sunset then finished with dinner with the tastiest menu around.
The restaurant was re-done about a year ago and they rotate the menu often always bringing new surprises to the plate.
Be sure to drive to the top of the ramp and valet your car as they treat you like royalty. Then enter the Majestic Hotel through the double doors down a short flight of stairs and you’ll find the restaurant to your left.
I almost want to keep this one to myself because the more people that find out the harder it will be the book just a small and quaint fine dining with the most awesome of atmosphere.

We truly enjoy our dinner there. Nice atmosphere, delicious food, amazing service. Our server Jeff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Another server Yvon is super attentive as well. He also help us whenever he pass by. My favorite is the citrus and Tarragon desert. It is like deconstructed key lime pie with yuzu flavor instead. It is delightful!
Maybe some ppl might find the food is a little pricey. But giving the fact it is in such a beautiful resort, the price is matching disney signature restaurant is acceptable. If u don’t stay in the resort, u can go a little early and tour around the hotel. It is very pretty with the ocean front

We were blessed to have both Rocco and Janet as our servers during an incredible wine pairing dinner sponsored by Stags’ Leap (position of apostrophe is key).  The service was impeccable and all staff were personable and professional. The tuna crudo, chorizo potato empanadas, red snapper, squab, venison loin and chocolate mousse dessert were incredible! Appropriately small servings for the pairing along with vegetables/sauces that enhanced the entrees. I liked the Chardonnay and the Cabernet while my wife preferred the petit Syrah and viognier . The Reserve was a treat as well! Not cheap but worth the price, so a great value and unforgettable experience.  We shall return!

The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere. We came here shortly after our proposal and order the east coast and west coast oysters (pictured below) at the time we dine they have wagyu beef as a special. their menu has upscale food choices and the drinks were delicious and specially crafted.
