Need restaurant suggestions for private party in St. Pete area

[mommabear]

We're joining my parents in St. Petersburg for a small family reunion. Can anyone recommend a restaurant within 15 miles of Old St. Petersburg? We need a private dining room that can accommodate about 15 people. Appreciate any and all suggestions!

I would suggest Grattzi at Baywalk in downtown St. Pete. Food is very good, and they have several private rooms.

Also, check out Cafe Alma, I believe they have sections they can cordon off for groups.

Middlegrounds on Treasure Island has a small room that might fit the bill.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll check out their website.

Do you have any info on Pepin's in St. Pete?

Sorry Mommabear, I haven't been to Pepin's. The restaurant was mentioned in the St. Pete Times today as follows:
"New tapas menu at Pepin Restaurant, 4125 Fourth Street No, St. Petersburg [phone]. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? The long esteemed Pepin added new tastes in July, including fat sea scallops dressed in parsley and white wine and tenderloin empanadillas with tamarind mango sauce."
There is a fun kind of funky place that's housed in a former dime store, it's Tedesco's Grillside at 437 Central Ave in St. Pete. They don't have private room, but the back area probably could be configured to accomodate 15 people.
How soon is your event?
