Sea Salt 183 2nd Ave. N, St. Petersburg After almost 10 years of serving raw oysters and crab legs in downtown St. Petersburg, popular seafood restaurant Sea Salt will close. The restaurant’s parent company, Aielli Group, made the announcement in a press release, as the concept nears the end of its lease on the second floor of The Sundial. “The past ten years have been nothing short of amazing,” said co-owner Ingrid Aielli in a statement. “We’re incredibly proud to have been part of this community and thankful for the friendships and memories we’ve made together. This farewell is bittersweet, but we’ll forever cherish these experiences.” Originally debuting in 2015, Sea Salt made a name for itself over the years with its 80-foot raw bar, 22-foot-tall wine cellar, $1 oyster happy hours and Venetian-inspired entrees.
