Food was perfect, my issue was service. Waited a few days before I posted. However, birthday dinner. Arrived 8:50, bartender said open till 10. Ordered a ribeye, it came out halfway through salad. Check arrived halfway through steak. Bar was cleaned up before I finished my drink. So no dessert just a polite get out by the bartender. For the money, I expected more. Great wine selection, beer to be desired. Should have more based on the no liquor. I’ll try again, but I wanted my birthday to be a bit more special. Next time I guess…

1200 Chophouse is a cozy gem with amazing food and exceptional service. The small building fills with the irresistible aroma of dishes coming from the kitchen, setting the stage for an unforgettable meal. Our waitress was attentive and checked on us regularly. We started with the filet skewers and fried goat cheese—both were delicious, with the house sauce on the skewers adding a bold touch. The house salad was phenomenal, easily one of the best I’ve had. For our mains, the NY Strip and filet were cooked to perfection. The Gorgonzola cream sauce on the strip and the tender filet paired with truffle fries and Gouda sauce were standout highlights. Though we were too full for dessert, everything we tried was incredible. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of the menu. A solid 9.4/10!

1200 has been on my "must try" list for a long time, and finally the wife and I made it out ... And it did NOT disappoint. Everything was cooked perfectly, and absolutely delicious. Top notch customer service too. 5 ⭐

Great dinner! The wait was a little long for our party of five as the restaurants pretty small, but it was worth it. I had the Seabass and it was absolutely delicious! Everyone else in our party got steak and lobster and they all loved it. Madison was our server and she was great as well. Highly recommend this restaurant!

If you're craving more than just bar food, this cozy little steakhouse in St. Pete Beach is a must-visit. With its small indoor seating area and a deck that's too hot to enjoy during the summer, the ambiance may be limited, but the food and service more than make up for it. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with great service that remained consistently attentive throughout the evening. Although they only offer beer and wine, the selection is more than sufficient to complement their delicious steaks. We all began our meal with the house salad. It was a delightful mix of favor, and every bite was extremely tasty and fresh. It set the perfect tone for the main course. The star of the show was undoubtedly the ribeye. Juicy, tasty, and tender, each steak was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. Alongside the steak, you have the choice of mashed or baked potatoes. We opted for the loaded baked potato, and it did not disappoint, adding an extra layer of indulgence to an already outstanding meal. A word to the wise: if you plan to visit, get there early. The place opens at 5 PM, and you'll want to line up outside before they open to ensure you get a spot. Despite its small size, this steakhouse in St. Pete Beach delivers big on taste and quality. Highly recommended for anyone in the area looking for a top-notch steak experience.
