Our St. Pete Store & Visitor Center team recently went for a team outing at Sonata Restaurant at The Mahaffey where they got to experience the magic of theater, art, and cuisine while celebrating each other.

St. Pete Store & Visitor Center Manager, Shelli Hemans, has a mix of employees and volunteers on her team. “It’s so important to show them, especially our volunteers, how much we appreciate their hard work and dedication,” Shemans said. “Every few months I try to plan something where we can not only have fun together, but get out of the office to experience the amazing places around town so we can share firsthand recommendations with our visitors.”

A big thank you to Sonata for hosting our St. Pete Store & Visitor Center team! Sonata is not just a place to eat—it's a multisensory experience! Located inside the Mahaffey Theater, Sonata features incredible artwork by Trish Duggan of Imagine Museum and Coastal cuisine with a Southern twist crafted to perfection by Chef Ted Dorsey.

Open for dinner Tuesday through Sunday and brunch on the weekends. Reservations highly recommended! Have questions about Sonata? Stop by or reach out to our St. Pete Store & Visitors Center team — they’ll tell you all about it!
