Three years after it was first announced, Noble Tavern is finally open in St. Petersburg’s Grand Central District.
The cocktail bar and restaurant at the base of the Tru by Hilton at 1650 Central Ave. combines the concepts and atmosphere of Noble Crust and Fat Beet Farm Kitchen & Bakery. While Noble Crust focuses on Southern-Italian comfort food, the Tavern specializes in shareable plates in five categories: “Veg + More, Sushi, Chicken, Seafood, and Beef + Pork.”
The menu from Executive Chef Allan Armstrong will change based on the Tampa-based Fat Beet Farm’s seasonal ingredients and customer demand.
Current menu items include broccolini and carrots with goat cheese, chili crunch, lemon and almonds; a steak sushi roll with filet, asparagus, cream cheese, shitake mushrooms, Korean BBQ sauce and spicy aioli; gulf snapper with gnocchi, chorizo, summer vegetables, blistered tomatoes and spicy sugo.
The concept was created by Noble Crust owners Jeff Strouse, TJ Theilbar, Tim Curci and Chris Sweeney in a joint venture with Anthony Menna president and owner of Menna Development & Management (MDM Inc.).
Noble Tavern is open Tuesday-Thursday and Sunday from 4 p.m.-10 p.m. and Friday-Saturday from 4 p.m.-midnight. It’s closed on Mondays. Check nobletavern.com for updates.
