Downtown St. Pete's Vinoy Resort & Golf Club unveiled its swanky new restaurant, Elliott Aster, which is set to open early next week.
State of plate: Elliott Aster, named after Florida's native lavender wildflower, is a partnership between James Beard Award nominee Chef Lee Wolen and the Boka Restaurant Group.
- The restaurant will debut May 20 and offer guests a wide array of "refined" dishes like a 45-day dry-aged prime bone-in ribeye, a grilled rack of lamb, lacquered brick chicken and more.
What we're hearing: "Elliott Aster will bring an exciting new dining experience to St. Petersburg," Vanessa Williams, general manager of The Vinoy, said in a press release.
- "Our dining room and menu are elegant yet approachable — sophisticated yet deeply rooted in hospitality," she added.
