On Saturday, my in-laws were watching our son, so we made our way across the bridge to St. Pete. We met some friends at Madeira Beach and spent the morning celebrating one of their birthdays. We had planned to stop for lunch on our way to pick up the kiddo, but as we got in the car to go, we still needed to figure out our destination.
Ultimately, we landed on Good Fortune St. Pete.
Now, neither Tyler nor I had ever gone, but we have had good experiences at other restaurants in the Hunger Thirst Group portfolio, like The Avenue and No Vacancy. We figured it was worth trying!
Parking was a little tricky, due to a Rays game, but we managed to park in the parking garage next to Ford’s Garage. This was super convenient, and I’d definitely recommend it if you’re going to Good Fortune. It can be a little hard to find the restaurant, as it’s located in the lower level of Station House, so you may have to double back.
Once we found it, we were able to get a table immediately. We’d reviewed the menu options online, but were pleasantly surprised to find that they also had brunch going on Saturday afternoon. I ended up ordering the “bacon and eggs,” which includes glazed pork, chili eggs, sweet potato scramble and milk bread. It was very good, but also spicier than I expected! It was also a very good deal, at approximately the same cost of one small plate ($16).
Tyler ordered from the small plates menu, so his meal was definitely pricier. He got two bao, pork dumplings, and spare ribs, which totaled $41. I can’t say it’s a cheap place to eat, but it’s such a fun vibe, and it’s a great spot to bring a date, as there’s something for everyone to eat. It’s also right in the heart of St. Pete, so it’s an easy stop.
Bonus: they have a karaoke room! We didn’t try it out this time, but after my most recent karaoke in Austin, I might have to go back and show off…
If you’re ever looking for Asian fusion downtown or a fun spot for a night out, I’d definitely recommend a visit to Good Fortune St. Pete!
