Good lunch spot in downtown St Pete?

[laurie]

Any suggestions for a good lunch spot where I can take a friend visiting from out of state? She's a bit of a hipster, so something somewhat upscale but not too terribly trendy would fit the bill.

TRY SAVANNAHS GRILLE ON CENTRAL...We were impressed

If you want to treat someone to "old" Florida and what St. Pete was like 20-30 years ago try:

Chattaway
358 22nd Ave. S
St. Petersburg, FL 33705

It's only a couple of minutes outside of "downtown" and it's basically a burger and beer place, but it's one of the few remaining places where you can get a feel of what you used to find all over St. Pete.

To the Vinoy - Marchands is lovely or if you want something more casual, I second Cafe Alma.

If she's from out of state, treat her to the Columbia. . .

2 places I like for dinner are Cafe Alma and Ratchada. I think both are also open for lunch.
