The story
The Huntsman operates across two Florida addresses — its original Tallahassee location on East Tennessee Street and a newer outpost along 30A at Carillon Beach — bringing a consistent vision of American dining to both. The Tallahassee restaurant earned a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2023, a recognition that speaks directly to the seriousness of its wine program and the overall caliber of the dining experience.
The Huntsman is built around dinner, with the menu rounded out by a happy hour, a late-night offering, and dessert — a lineup that signals a place comfortable hosting guests across the full arc of an evening. The American cuisine here is the through-line connecting both locations, though the 30A outpost is still finding its footing with additional menu offerings coming soon.
The Wine Spectator Award of Excellence is not given lightly. It reflects a wine list with sufficient depth, breadth, and thoughtful pairing potential to satisfy serious wine drinkers alongside a well-composed American menu. For guests who care about what's in the glass as much as what's on the plate, that distinction matters.
The Huntsman also maintains a presence in St. Petersburg, suggesting a growing group with consistent standards across its properties. Reservations are handled through Resy.
