    What an excellent addition to the St Pete dining scene. We dined at the chef's counter and were amazed at the chef's artistry and inventive flavors. 10 delicious seasonal courses. We have had numerous tasting menus but we were impressed with the chef's personal explanation of each dish. The A5 wagyu supplement was exceptional, but so was the duck, venison and mackerel! If you are looking for a special evening then Mei should be on the top of your list!
