Dining room at Marchand's, St. Petersburg, FLThe St. Petersburg resort hotel housing Marchand’s underwent a renaissance, restoring it to much of its 1920s glory. The restaurant's windows on the south overlook the downtown marina while the view from the western end is toward the hotel's veranda and main entrance. Marble-topped tables and a centered, dark mahogany bar dominate the room; the high ceiling is filled with frescoes, vines and flowers, with some griffins --- the hotel's logo --- darting about. The menu emphasizes roasting, grilling and sautéing using fresh herbs and olive oil. Desserts are updated frequently, but one perennial favorite is the chocolate cheesecake made with an Oreo cookie crust, thick white chocolate and more white chocolate in the form of shavings on top.
