CL Food Critic Jon Palmer Claridge's recent meal at Pacific Counter in St. Petersburg revealed a couple of things. For one, the 600 Block newbie does fresh, affordable eats in a sleek setting. And two: It advances this well-known stretch of Central Avenue's fairly young reputation as a food destination. Whether you pick one of the 12 "counter creations" or choose the "build your own" format, Pacific Counter offers both tasty rolls and bowls, as well as refreshing beverage concoctions. Read our review here, and check out Nicole Abbett's photos of what Claridge saw and sampled.
