The Birchwood Inn on St. Pete Beach Drive charms

Each week on the St. Pete Beach Drive Dine & Wine Tour we love to visit The Birchwood Inn. For this stop on the food tour we are treated to Birch & Vine chef's special of the day paired with wine. Since the pairing changes every week I get to witness rave reviews on a large variety of dishes.

Here are a few of my favorite dishes our guests have enjoyed starting this amazing seared tuna.

NY Strip and corn relish

Always on the menu and a popular dish for vegans as well as our other guests on the tour.

Cruciferous -Cocoa Roasted Cauliflower, Blackened Brussel Sprouts, Beet Marinated Cabbage, Grilled Broccolini, Pomme Puree (can be omited), Crunchy Kale, Farro

One more food photo from our most recent visit on the tour.

Guests agreed the Grilled venison with persimmons, nuts and goat cheese was a work of art from the kitchen.

The outdoor seating along Beach Drive is always lovely particularly during the holidays.

The view from from The Birchwood Inn's 5th floor rooftop space The Canopy is the best in downtown St. Pete. The Tour visits for a refreshing froze which is a frozen mix of rose, vodka and simple syrup.

The Birchwood Inn has it all with great happy hour, brunch, lunch and diner options in a beautiful historic waterfront property. The 18 available guests rooms are lovely so come for the weekend!
