Iconic St. Pete hotel and resort debuts Latin American-themed restaurant

The Vinoy, one of the most prominent resort properties in the region, recently debuted a new restaurant: Parasol, a full-service Latin American eatery overlooking the downtown St. Pete resort's main pool area. It opened July 5. 

The outdoor restaurant at the hotel, officially called The Vinoy Resort and Golf Club, Autograph Collection, combines “an energetic, island-like atmosphere with a menu starring fresh seafood, bright flavors and spices, and tropical craft cocktails,” according to a statement. 

"Parasol brings The Vinoy's poolscape to life with its energizing atmosphere along St. Petersburg's dynamic waterfront." The Vinoy General Manager Vanessa Williams says in the release. "As the resort's thoughtful renovations continue, Parasol elevates The Vinoy as an inviting and stylish social hub, welcoming both resort guests and the local community."
