82 Degrees is a brand new restaurant on the same property as the chic The Saint Hotel on St. Pete Beach. The kitchen is headed up by chefs with experience at the celebrated (and missed) Farmtable Cucina, and the Iberian Rooster.
Situated near Corey Avenue, this restaurant resides near brand new businesses such as Grove Surf and Coffee, La Croisette, Fresh Factory, and CocoAddiction. 82 Degrees and The Saint now join the vibrant sprawl of small businesses on the booming beaches.

The exterior features a massive vintage postcard-style mural by the prolific Vitale Bros., and the interior features another mural depicting the hotel owners daughter. The decor sets the stage for the type of restaurant 82 Degrees is, a hub for exquisite eats with an altogether laid back and fun atmosphere.
