Skidder's rebrand into Sunset Kitchen is everything St. Pete Beach needed. With Chef Marcos leading the kitchen, the new menu is thoughtfully curated, highlighting locally sourced, high-quality ingredients while still staying approachable and affordable--a rare and refreshing combo. The remodel is absolutely stunning. Think beach luxe: vibrant, airy, and open, with a welcoming coastal energy that instantly elevates the space without losing its laid-back charm. Beyond the food and design, the staff and new ownership truly shine. The service is warm, attentive, and genuinely excited about what they've created--and it shows in every detail. Whether you're a local or visiting St. Pete Beach, Sunset Kitchen is the new go-to spot. It's perfect for brunch, lunch, or dinner, with live music, TV

​I’m almost hesitant to post this because I want to keep this spot to myself, but the secret is officially out. We are locals on the beach and honestly can't believe we haven't been coming here every week. ​The Atmosphere & Service ​Sunday service can usually be a gamble, but Walter was absolutely holding court in the bar area, making the whole vibe feel like a high-end neighborhood hangout. Justin was the MVP of the floor—insanely attentive, hospitable, and knew exactly when we needed a refill. ​The Food (The Real Star) ​If you’re coming here, do yourself a favor and follow these rules: ​The Pork Chop: It was straight fire. Do not overthink it—order it medium. Trust me on this one; the juiciness is next level. ​Poke > Ceviche: The ceviche is good, but the Poke is the undisputed heavyw

We really liked Skullys ( the previous restaurant at this location). We were disappointed that it changed hands. We gave it a chance ( what else would you do when you were hungry). The atmosphere is nice. The staff tried their best. The food was ok. Out of almost everything we wanted. They had no pizza dough. Hadn't been delivered yet. We talked them into making pita pizzas. ( Now if I'm paying that much for a pizza.. I expect home made pizza crust. ) All in all we made it fun. I'm sure it will improve. Or ... Fail. Beach side restaurants have to really make an impression to last. Good luck guys.

Had a great experience at this restaurant. The food, service and atmosphere was outstanding. Chef Marcos really knows what he is doing in the kitchen. Amazing food and drinks!

Tried Sunset Kitchen & Drinks in Florida for the first time with a friend and it was absolutely fantastic! The food was incredible — I had the shrimp and scallop moqueca and it was packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and just overall delicious. My friend ordered the aji verde chicken and couldn’t stop talking about how good it was. The mule drinks were also on point — refreshing, well-balanced, and the perfect pairing with our meals. But the true rockstar of the night was our server, Meghan. She was attentive, friendly, and genuinely made the entire experience memorable. Great service can take a meal to another level, and she absolutely did that for us. Can’t wait to come back!
