The St. Pete restaurant opened in 2023 in a building formerly occupied by WingHouse Bar & Grill.

The restaurant specialized in seafood and island-inspired cuisine, serving dishes such as grouper sandwiches, jerk chicken rice bowls, fresh fish, rum cocktails, and tropical appetizers.

It also drew regular crowds with daily happy hour specials and live music on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Baystar Restaurant Group has not publicly announced the reason for the closure.

St. Pete Rising reached out to Baystar Restaurant Group for comment, but the call was not returned prior to publication.
