New Steak Restaurant Opens in St. Pete Beach

Next to Dollar Rental Car and the IHOP, a new steak place has opened recently on St. Pete Beach.

The 1200 Degrees Chophouse provides a new option for beachgoers and locals who feel like a steak dinner right along busy Gulf Boulevard.

The cozy restaurant seats 48 and is owned by veteran restauranteur Dan Casey who also owns Snapper's and Madfish, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

The menu has a variety of steak and seafood options along with a wide selection of wine.  

According to the Times review:

The best of the steaks is a meaty, well-marbled ribeye ($26.95) paired with a decadent Gorgonzola sauce; a straight-up New York strip lacked the lush white ribbons of fat that render a great steak so melt-in-mouth. And on the fish side, a pan-seared sea bass with lobster beurre blanc ($25.95) vies with seared salmon with a tomato bacon vinaigrette ($19.95) for most memorable.
