The 11 best spots for king crab in Clearwater

5-Star Sunset Bliss at Frenchy's Rockaway Grill What an absolute gem Frenchy's Rockaway Grill is! Tucked right on the sands of Clearwater Beach, this spot nails that effortless Florida vibe with its open-air setup, live music humming in the background, and those jaw-dropping Gulf sunsets painting the sky in oranges and pinks. We snagged a table on the deck just in time for golden hour, and it felt like we were dining in a postcard. The menu is a love letter to fresh, local seafood—our group's picks were spot-on. The famous Super Grouper Sandwich lived up to the hype: flaky, perfectly seasoned grouper piled high on a toasted bun with all the fixings, no sogginess in sight. We also devoured the She Crab Soup (creamy, rich, and just the right kick of spice) and some crispy coconut shrimp that paired beautifully with a chilled local craft beer. Everything arrived hot and vibrant, with portions that left us satisfied but not stuffed. But let's talk about the real star of our evening: our server, Greer. From the moment she greeted us with her warm smile and beachy energy, it was clear she loves what she does. Attentive without hovering, she nailed our drink refills, suggested the perfect pairing for the seafood and even shared insider tips on the best spots for a post-dinner stroll along the beach. Greer's enthusiasm made the whole experience feel personal and fun. If you're in Clearwater, skip the chains and head straight to Frenchy's Rockaway Grill. It's casual, delicious, and unforgettable. We'll be back soon—sunset views and Greer-level service? Yes, please! 🌅🦐

The place is great! It has that perfect beach vibe mixed with excellent service and atmosphere! Definitely a fantastic spot to relax and enjoy their famous grouper sandwiches. I tried the traditional fried grouper sandwich — it was good and well-prepared, but I’ll try other options next time to give a more accurate verdict. While it didn’t completely blow me away, it was still tasty and satisfying. What really makes the place stand out is the friendly service, quick attention, and positive energy! I totally recommend visiting this awesome spot and enjoying a nice margarita while watching the sunset. We’ll be back! 🌅🍹

WOW! We were expecting this to be a basic beach restaurant with pretty mid food and drinks like we’re used to. But holy crap, this place was amazing. The drink options are insane and you can get a 20oz cocktail rocks/frozen in a souvenir cup for $13. We got the crab fries, rock poppers, and steak dippers. The crab fries were life changing, the poppers were mid, and the steak dippers were very good. For drinks we got a strawberry mojito and rum runner. The atmosphere was great, menu had great options, and our server Britt was so sweet. We plan on going back for dinner and getting crab legs, highly recommend!

I went to Frenchys for lunch today and it was so Freaking Good!! That is one of the best tasting filling meals I've this year.. I ordered a 6 oz grouper sandwich , it was grilled with the spices, and it had onion, tomato, tartar sauce, a delicious roll ! There was a big pickle on the side and it came with french fries 😋 I had Pepsi to drink.. We got to sit right there on the beach!! My feet was in the sand the whole time . The view is Amazing 😍 one of the best all around experiences, I would highly recommend this restaurant.. our server was Jeff and he did a great 👍 job... One of the best grouper sandwiches I've eaten

Many Frenchys around but this one is beachfront and has tables facing the water! Perfect for dinner watching the sunset. I ordered the classic fried grouper sandwich which was perfect while my husband ordered a basket of shrimp. I honestly thought his plate looked like more fries than shrimp but everything was wonderful. Our water was super amazing despite how packed the place was getting. It also looked like someone was doing some professional filming while we ate I was wondering what it was for!

We visited on a clear day, and the clear beach in Tempa nearby was absolutely beautiful. This restaurant is just a 5-minute walk from the beach. Although we were told there would be a 30-minute wait, we were seated in just 10 minutes. The live music created a great vibe, making the atmosphere even better. The food was excellent—made with fresh fish and natural ingredients. The flavors were clean, not too salty or greasy, just perfectly balanced. Prices were also very reasonable. The outdoor terrace looked inviting, and the staff were all friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this spot if you’re near the beach!

First time in Clearwater Beach, so I decided to try this place at my boss's recommendation. This restaurant has a very cozy atmosphere and has outdoor seating. We ended up sitting in the sand near the beach which I had never done at a restaurant before. We ended up getting the crab fries and the shrimp pasta. It was absolutely delicious! We will definitely come back the next time I come to Clearwater Beach! Thank you Frenchy's!

The beachfront bar had an amazing sunset view that made the whole evening feel special. The music was lively, the atmosphere was fun, and the food and drinks were better than I expected. It’s the kind of place you could easily spend a few hours just enjoying the vibe.

PERFECT In every way! Right on the gulf beach, white sand, beautiful sunshine, wonderful sunsets, good food, cold drinks, excellent service! This place is fun with live music, good vibes, and friendly service. Everyone was having a great time, watching sports on TVs, and listening to good live music. Chips, salsa, and freshly-made guac was perfect! Beers are cold! Love it!

🌴 Palm Pavilion Beachside Grill & Bar – Clearwater Beach 🌅 We had an amazing dinner at Palm Pavilion last night, one of Clearwater Beach’s true gems! The atmosphere couldn’t have been better, beachfront dining, live music drifting through the air, and the perfect view of the sunset over the Gulf. The staff was friendly and the service was great. We ordered the coconut shrimp (crispy and golden perfection!) and a grilled shrimp bowl that was full of flavor and beautifully presented. Washed it all down with a crisp Angry Orchard Hard Cider while the sky turned pink and gold. If you’re looking for a laid-back spot with good food, beach vibes, and live music just steps from the sand, Palm Pavilion is the place to be. Highly recommend catching sunset here it’s pure Florida magic. 🌞🌴🍤🎶 Parking is close, but can be hard to find during peak hours.

Flew into TPA and headed straight to Clearwater for lunch. After I parked in the paid lot next door, I followed the live music to Palm Pavilion. Got a seat at the bar with a view of the beach. Plenty of seating for groups of all sizes. The Palm Rum Runner was the perfect blend of liquor on a sunny Florida afternoon. My entree El Cubano “Tampa Style” was savory and tbh one of the better Cubans I've had. Attentive service by the bartender. Convenient location off the main drag. Walking distance to shops, boutiques, and other spots. 9.7/10.

Well, not only was the food amazing and the service, the parking attendant was so nice, and super friendly and helpful. It was a great experience, the best Mahi Mahi I have ever had. Highly recommend the place, and anytime I am in the area I will be coming here

If you want a beach joint with drinks, food, and a view, this is your place. It is very casual from the walk off the beach. Some days have acoustic while dining. There is an air conditioned room, but the other areas are open to the outdoors. Must have a shirt and shoes to enter. The staff is fun and pleasant. The fun cocktails and frozen drinks are fun and beachy. They offer skinny varieties too. The fish tacos were good portioned and tasty with fresh ingredients. The Grouper sandwich was very fresh and the fries were crispy! If you want the view and atmosphere, with good food, you will be happy!

An excellent local restaurant on the beach! We went to watch the sunset and it was perfect from their outdoor seating area. Not only was the view great but the food was really good and the service was friendly. I look forward to returning to this place in the future.

Right on the beach it’s fantastic. Service food is good. I even had sourdough burger, which was fantastic with all the fixings. I feel like it’s getting further and harder to find good service and Jamie was absolutely amazing and super attentive. She even recommended an off item menu, which was the strawberry mimosa which was the highlight of our bottomless Mimosa 🥂 experience. 12 out of 10 recommend when you’re in the area!

Just landed in Clearwater for work for a night and Badfins was close and looked good online. Outdoor seating on the beach was all I really wanted and a cold beer. Well they have that! Amy knows her stuff and after a brief back a forth she picked out a beer for me and it was fantastic. Way better than the one I picked for myself for number 2. The food was great too, everything I saw come out looked fire but the pineapple bowl with shrimp scallops chicken and rice was amazing. There was deep fried pineapple in there! What I am saying is go to Badfins, if you’re lucky enough to have Amy, it will be even better. Cheers!

Lexie was our server and the bartender was amazeballs. Everything about this place is top notch. The Carne Asada, the Sangria, the Guacamole, Queso, etc. You just can’t do better than their scratch kitchen. I’m so glad we found them searching on Google. Thanks for being the best.

Cool place with cool vibes, great drinks and live music. Perfect place to watch the sunset. Didn’t get full meal but had drinks and an appetizer, VUELVE A LA VIDA. Shout out and thanks to Lexi for explaining exactly what it was. Either way, it was interesting and good. Would definitely come back!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Hidden Gem on the Water! I had such an amazing experience here — everything from the service to the setting was top-tier. Emma was our server, and she was absolutely wonderful — warm, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcomed from start to finish. Her recommendations were spot-on, and her positive energy really added to the evening. Their house-fermented grapes are something special — they use them to craft their own line of alcoholic beverages, and you can truly taste the freshness and care in every pour. It’s a unique touch that makes this place stand out. And the lobster mac and cheese? Next level — creamy, rich, and loaded with tender chunks of lobster. Absolute perfection. Enjoying it all while sitting right on the water made for such a peaceful, memorable meal. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this spot — especially if you’re lucky enough to have Emma as your server!

My wife and I had just arrived in Clearwater for our first family vacation with our 8-month-old daughter, and after a long day of travel, we were starving. The concierge at the Wyndham Grand recommended Badfins, and we couldn’t have been happier. We were greeted by Connor, who was not only friendly but made us feel like locals right away. The steak nachos were next-level, seriously some of the best we’ve ever had, and the “You’re My Boy Blue” beer was the perfect pairing. The real surprise of the night was the live music by Cutty Jones. As musicians ourselves, we were blown away by his looping skills and killer vocals. It totally elevated the atmosphere and capped off our first night in the best way possible. Whether you’re visiting or local, Badfins is a must. Great food, great people, and great vibes.

We went in on a Wednesday night and got seared instantly. There was great live music to enjoy while we waited for our food and the overall atmosphere at Bad Fins is really enjoyable! We got the mahi tacos and the coconut shrimp tacos both were delish and the portion sizes for the prices were great. They also have a large selection of beers on tap from local brewery’s so everyone is bound to find something they will like! Would definitely come back and try something else next time we are in town.

I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant during my trip, and it was truly good from start to finish. both chicken and seafood dishes, and each one we tried was cooked to perfection. The chicken was tender and full of flavor, perfectly seasoned and cooked with care. The seafood was fresh and beautifully prepared—the kind of quality you can taste in every bite. Whether grilled or fried,it tasted so good,with sides and sauces that complemented them perfectly. We loved the linguini pasta,fried calamari, grouper and shrimp entree and the octopus. Then the second morning we had a good breakfast but it could be better. Then we went back and took our friends and we all loved it. I hope they keep the upper level open till close cause we went for two dinners at 9 pm and both times they had a sigh that it’s closed.

Nice food but inconsistent service led to an average review Food - grouper was tasty and fresh as you would expect. Crab cakes were full of meat and well cooked. Calamari (appetiser) was the best dish - really tender and the 2 sauces worked well together. Kids meals of grilled fish only came with one side (they picked fries obviously) but would have been good if it came with some vegetables as well. Portion size was ok, both adults mains bulked out with a ton of broccoli. Kids had more fries than the adults. Service - FoH welcoming. We didn’t have a reservation (Saturday night at 730) so expected a wait. The advised 20 mins was more like 5 minutes, which was a pleasant surprise. We sat upstairs at the back which was ok. Our server was disinterested. Drinks order was taken quickly but no real welcome, no menus recommendations. I ordered the grouper and shrimp but the shrimp was missed off the order (although rectified after the meals delivered). Had to wait a while for the drinks refill and check too. Think they were short staffed upstairs, but could have tried harder. The table next to us (different server) seemed to get a more effective service. Atmosphere- singer downstairs which was a nice touch. Place had a nice buzz, not too loud. Kids welcome.

I was here before Hurricanes Helene and Milton and my wife and I loved it! I was here for a quiet getaway for myself and was really looking forward to eating dinner here again. While it was pretty good, it is not the same. The menu has changed some and is more limited. I was looking forward to the islander bowl with steak but had to settle for shrimp, as they no longer offer it with steak. The claim chowder was good but a bit salty, and my draft Blue Moon was room temperature when I received it, it wasn't even cold let alone ice cold. Overall, dinner was okay, but they aren't at the level they once were. I won't be back.

As I promise we’ll do breakfast here and rated, breakfast was good but not great , pancakes are not the best, tacos are amazing. Definitely recommended, overall I will do dinner here, but I may try a different place for breakfast, service just OK. , definitely need to renovate the upstairs area

Decent spot. The 1-4pm happy hour is pretty sweet. My grilled wings were good. Service was a little slow.

Wife and I come to Clearwater 3-4 times a year, but this was the first time visiting Salty's. If you've never been here, you're missing out on some awesome food and entertainment. Just had the Grouper Nuggets and the Avacado Eggrolls and man they were great! And our server, I believe her name was Hannah, was so attentive and personable. Can't wait to go back and try some other items I need the menu.

The food was hit or miss. We had a party of 5 and 3/5 had good food. The pineapple chicken was drowned in teriyaki to the point that’s all you could taste. I had the crab stuffed shrimp which was great! Service wasn’t great sadly.

It’s rare when I give that bad review but this place didn’t meet any expectations I had. That’s my fifth time being at Tampa/clearwater area and that would be my worst dinner among all of all. The mahi-mahi and the grouper was extremely dry and over seasoned, and the rest of the seafood was no better—overcooked and over-seasoned, which was especially disappointing in a place known for fresh catches especially that we choose especially for our kids to try the crab and was dry as well. The burger was bland and completely tasteless, with no juiciness at all but the worst was coleslaw overly acidic, so sharp it was unpleasant to eat which 3 of us got from our group and it really upset our tummy. I had local friends recommended to not eat there but I still went for the gulf location but it was a big mistake. With so many better options nearby, this restaurant completely missed any good expectations. The food quality was poor, the flavors were unbalanced, and nothing about the meal made me want to return. A disappointing choice in an area full of great alternatives. In addition to that the place is lacking cleanliness and the wait time is ridiculous and not worth it. The pictures speak for themselves , save your money.

Delicious and HUGE lobsters and oysters. Restaurant did a great job of seasoning and preparing filing portions for our hungry bunch - especially after coming up from a day out in the sun. Crabby's had indoor, outdoor seating with bar seating as well. There are multiple levels where you can be seated in doors. Overall, great experience, the only critique I would have is that we arrived an hour to closing with a few other groups not with us. The server at the time was a bit impatient while taking our orders as I assumed the kitchen was wrapping things up for the night - however it was a weekend night and our table was not one of the last ones left. We felt a bit rushed while deciding our dishes but were happy with how everything tasted.

Great food. Awesome service. Magnificent vibe! Close proximity to the beach and hotels. The mixed drink was delicious. I think our host's name was Jamie. He made our visit an amazing one. We ordered shrimp Alfredo, fish and chips, key lime pie, spinach dip, and the bucket drink. I'll definitely return to this place when I return to the area!

Great view of the sunset from 2nd & 3rd floors! Service was fabulous both visits. Food was a little cold the first visit this trip, but the flavor was still there! Definitely recommend grouper anything on the menu! My son said it was the best cheeseburger he’d ever had!

Really nice restaurant with a great menu. We started with the clam chowder and mussel appetizers. Then we had grouper. (His was grilled and mine was the fried sandwich which was so light and tasty.) If you are looking for seafood I highly recommend going here.

Nice place near the water but the food was disappointing. We ordered the No Worries Combo $30.99. The calamari was undercooked, we barely received any grouper, and only 3 shrimp. The picture is the full order. We order two sides of mac and cheese expecting it to be good but it tasted like boxed mac and cheese. We threw it away.

Saw this restaurant online and wanted to try it. Parking is horrendous there. We did get sat down right away. When we went to order our food, my wife and I both specifically said, we wanted all the appetizers on our bill. Appetizers came out ,the conk fritters, and the gator bites were okay. The oysters that they ordered, they had to wait for crackers and hot sauce for them. , a manager actually had to come over and bring them over to us as he was walking around checking on tables. Then when the main courses came out, my wife had to wait for her cracker to break open her crab legs, as they were in the dishwasher??? Dinner food was ok once we got everything we needed to enjoy our dinner. Then, of course, he brought the bill, and I didn't notice at first, but he had split the appetizers between myself and another party. Especially after we told them more than once that we were paying for the appetizers on our bill, Then the other party had told him that he was paying for the other three people, and the one lady he gave her a bill for her dinner which I think he corrected and put on the other guys bill. , if you go there, Do not sit outside, because between the birds and the flies, you spend half your dinner swatting everything away. I think when we are in Cearwater.again, we will probably try somewhere else.

My son took me here for Mother's Day dinner and wow it was a treat. I had the grouper and my son had the fillet.!! The piano player was so elegant and the music was so great we definitely tipped her… But our drinks and our food were so amazing. Then we finished it off with baked Alaska and our waiter was so friendly and we had a really wonderful time we were dressed casually and everyone welcome to us and it is such a nice restaurant, but the food quality was amazing. Definitely recommend.!!

We went for dinner to celebrate our Anniversary and had a very delightful experience. The service is outstanding and also is the food. We ordered the escargots and the scallops for appetizers, they were delicious, especially the escargots. As a main dish we ordered the Lobster tails, which were also so savory, they bring it with melted butter but it doesn’t need it, they came accompanied by fresh vegetables that were so tender. To finish we had the Key Lime Pie which was very good as everything else. The ambience was so nice, with a pianist playing so delicate. I highly recommend this place.

Came here for a young friend's 21st birthday. The wait staff was fantastic very attentive and friendly. The salds were good but lacked dressing, we had to requested more. My son ordered the escargot for an appetizer. There was an over abundance of cheese an onions and the snells themselves were rather small. My wife had surf and turf and when they say petite filet they mean it. The portion size of that piece of meat was small. She said the lobster on the cruise ship we just got off was much better than that she was served. To me that is pathetic, that lobster should have been perfectly. How can cruise ship serving over 1000 lobsters at a meal do it better than a restaurant serving maybe 200 lobsters? My son and I both had New York strip, it was cooked perfectly but had no flavor at all, it reqired a good amountof salt and pepper to give it some flavor. Both our cuts of meat had quite a bit of fat and gristle. The mash potatoes needed help they were dry and and needed an ample amount of salt and pepper as did the steak. The birthday girl was offered a complimentary desert for her birthday but nobody else was offered the choice to purchase one. For the price of dinner and the 20 percent gratuity I could go to any chain steak house restaurant multiple times and have more flavorful food and better cuts of meat. In my opinion food quality was poor and overpriced. I will not recommend this establishment to friends or family visiting the area...

This place is good but the prices are extremely high for the quality of food they are offering. Service is great. The fried chicken was delicious. NY strip steak was ok. Nice atmosphere. I don’t think I would return but it was a decent meal.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Comfort Food & Classic Florida Charm! Bob Heilman’s Beachcomber in Clearwater is an absolute gem! I had the fried chicken dinner, and it was incredible—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. The mashed potatoes were creamy and smooth, and the fresh broccoli with hollandaise sauce added the perfect touch of richness. The house gravy tied it all together beautifully. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and full of old Florida charm. The staff was attentive and genuinely friendly, which made the whole experience even better. If you’re visiting Clearwater Beach or a local looking for a dependable spot with consistently great food, this is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

I can not comprehend the number of higher reviews. I simply do not get it. The 1980's called. They want their decorations and menu back. The wait staff in very bored voices explain that the place has been there for 70 some odd years (it shows about 40 of them). The food - WAY less than mediocre. The onion ring (appetizer) was one of the worst I have ever had. The seafood (Shrimp and Scallops) were brutally over cooked. The "side of beans" that everyone got were all untrimmed, uncleaned and nearly uncooked. Then, well then there were the INSTANT MASHED POTATOES!!!!! Seriously? Instant mashed potatoes? Yes, we are in the 1980's! (instant mashed in photo - they even look instant!) Disgusting. The "Fillet Mignon" was quite CLEARLY a Petit Bistro, or Shoulder Petite cut. FAR less costly and tender than a real fillet. We went as a four top (two couples) and when we asked to separate the check the waitress (was she not a bundle of joy) simply divided the check in two equal parts. Needless to say, as new owners of a Condo just south of the "downtown" Clearwater area - we will not be back and will not bring guests to Beachcomber. So many other fabulous options so close. Seriously, they do even try. Note to Piano lady...."Swing Low Sweet Chariot" is never, not ever a good selection for dinner music.

Food was delicious and service was great. There was love piano music as well. The ambiance was relaxing and enjoyable.

Fun little restaurant and tackle shop. The atmosphere was nice even though it was right next to the causeway the traffic can’t be heard that much. the staff was really accommodating! The drunken shrimp was by far the best thing we had there but the fish tacos were also pretty good. I love the local beers they served, but they do not have any mixed drinks. The public bathrooms were located outside the restaurant and around the corner which was not as convenient as everyone is waiting in line for them.

Really lovely local fish tavern. Menu is featured around the catch of the day which ensures the food is fresh and high quality. We had the fish spread, fish Reuben, and fish tacos. We loved the taste of the food, particular about out to the homemade Jalapeño jam! Only critique is that the fish tacos could benefit from being served with a side dish like the sandwiches as it didn’t feel the same portion size. Useful to know that you need to pay for parking as well. We will be back to try the rest of the menu!

You can’t get more traditional and flavorful than this place! All their dishes are made with fresh fish of the day, and you can choose how you’d like it prepared — all from the same catch! An excellent option! The preparation is top-notch, with great quality and flavor. The service is very good, and the atmosphere is excellent. It’s definitely a place everyone should visit to enjoy delicious dishes and great beer in a beautiful setting. Highly recommended! 🍺🐟👌🏻 Btw the drunken shrimp are awesome!

Surprisingly good restaurant right on the water. Looking from the outside, it doesn't look like it'll be worth a stop, but I fully recommend it. I got some fish cakes and the fish tacos. Delicious!

This was the best restaurant we visited on Clearwater Beach. The food was tremendous and drinks were ice cold. Everything is fresh and was hot. Highly recommend the Reuben sandwich and drunkin shrimp. Great date night location

Great fresh food and service was right on time! The fresh breeze outside was nice too. Really enjoyed the Wahoo fish taco and the cold boiled shrimp!

Great food! Go for the drunken shrimp! Its not overly spicy - just right. Fish tacos too! The railing needs some cleaning though, it has some moss due to moisture im guessing. Lovely staff. Yep for me!

Beautiful place for a fantastic dinner. Our server Amanda was exceptional! We sat outside for sunset dinner. The bread is amazing! We had sushi, Ceasar salad and grouper dinners. It was all delicious. This is an upscale restaurant, although we thought the prices were reasonable for portion you received.

Went here for our anniversary dinner and it was a fantastic! Every drink and course was so pretty and perfectly cooked. We sat outside on the deck with a perfect view of the sunset. If that was enough by itself, our server, Amanda, was exceptional- so kind and helpful as well as knowledgeable and attentive. Wouldn't hesitate to go back!

My birthday dinner could not have been more perfect . Our waiter Juan repeatedly said he would take care of me for a memorable evening , etc . He was friendly , informative, super great with the pacing of each course , and just a delight . The food was simply outstanding. We each had an order of Diver scallops , shared the caprese salad , and he had grouper and I had Chilean sea bass. Perfectly cooked , tender , delightful light crisp on top. Also Juan provided an amuse bouche of delicious spanikopata . The scallops are to die for , just perfection . Incredibly smooth burrata on the caprese salad . The light delicious sauce on the fish is simply divine . Although we turned down dessert , Juan politely encourage us to enjoy a complimentary birthday dessert so we chose the. Vanilla crème brûlée. Again , outstanding . A beautiful evening g in every aspect.

Had an amazing experience here food was exceptional. I was seated at a bar table my waitress was phenomenal I wish I could remember her name. The meal here was easily the best I had during my time in Clearwater Beach. I highly recommend and will definitely return for another wonderful experience.

We came to have a nice meal and watch the sunset from the balcony. We reserved a table, but they could not accommodate 5 at the tables outside, so we had to sit inside. That actually wasn’t that much of an issue and you will absolutely get a great view of the sunset, but still a bit disappointing. Nice meal? Absolutely not. Caesar salad was very bland. NY Strip steak was small and not very good. My son got the “Petite Steak” from the kids meal and they really honored the “petite” part. It was basically a meat patty for a slider. My wife’s tenderloin was very roast like and pretty dry. My son’s pizza came out burnt. At the end of the day we spent $250 for what I would consider $60 quality food. Service was also not great. Had to ask 3 different servers that we were ready to order. Had to ask for bread 3 times. From the time we sat it was an hour and a half before we got our food. Again, not a huge issue, because we got to enjoy the views of the sunset during that timeframe. If you want good food and that’s the priority, don’t go here. If you want a really good view of the sunset and don’t care about food quality or cost or service, then this is your place.

The food was fantastic, HIGHLY recommend the oysters Rockefeller! The Elk was delicious but would have preferred a little less black pepper. Crème brûlée was amazing and my husband said the snapper was one of the best meals he’s ever had. Michelle was our server and she was so attentive and down to earth.

Nice restaurant located inside of the Sandpearl Resort. It's open to people not staying in the resort and has a beautiful view of the beach if you sit on the patio (which is on the second floor), we didn't have trouble getting a table but I suggest making a reservation on the weekend. If you drive they provide free valet for up to 3 hours. The food was pretty good, they brought some complimentary bread and hors d'oeuvres while we waited, the crispy flakey bites were delicious. I ordered the Gulf Grouper, which was good but the sear was a bit over cooked (in my opinion at least) which I ended up cutting off. The other two people in my party had a salad and the NY strip which they both liked. Overall we had a very nice dinner, if you looking for an upscale restaurant with a beautiful and quiet view this is a great option.

Surprisingly Good. We did not want to stray far away from the hotel tonight. We decided to stay on site. So very glad we did. The food here is fabulous. I mean really great. You could order 3 or 4 sides and have a meal of wonderful side dishes.

We've eaten at Shor several times while staying at the Hyatt. It's always quiet, laid back, and the food is incredible. Service is terrific also. The New York Strip and Grouper bites are especially fantastic but we've never been disappointed with anything on their menu. Drink menu is great also! Highly recommend eating here if you're staying at the Hyatt or anywhere in Clearwater beach.

This was a cool place to try. The offerings aren't exceptional but more of an immersion to eat near the beach. I had the steak frites and a salad, both of which are good. I normally wouldn't go for a hotel restaurant due to high mark up but it was nice to try.

I had several wonderful experiences dining here during my stay. Rob my server was excellent!!! I celebrated my birthday while dining. Rob went out of his way to make me feel special by singing me Happy birthday and bringing out a dessert with a candle. I couldn't be any more pleased with the service or the food! I will definitely be back. My friends who also attended were very happy, especially with the Mexican street corn!!

Have to concur with previous reviews that our experience at SHOR was a positive one. Ben was our waiter he gave suggestions plus didn’t rush us in anyway to make a quick decision on food. We enjoyed our wine and appetizer which was the calamari before our dinner order was placed. My husband had the fresh catch which was red snapper and Ben indicated it was a good size, didn’t disappoint. I had the blackened grouper sandwich tasty with a side of fries crispy. Atmosphere enjoyable and left satisfied.

The food was very good. Our server Veronica was fantastic! I would highly reccomend the tuna poke

Best calamari ever! So tender and thick, unlike any other. Great view and service.

This places is a Jem. From the moment I walked in I was greeted by Patty. We did not had a reservation but she made it possible, her attention to details and kindness was simply outstanding. Michelle our waitress was always making sure we were comfortable, explain the menu, attentive, she was simply exceptional. Also, Mike the manager when to talk to us and made us feel like home. I definitely recommend this 100% because the food was exquisite.

Love this place! Visiting for the week and wanted a steakhouse. This place is just that and more. Started off with Osetra Caviar, a delicious Wedge Salad and a delicious 8 oz filet with a Bleu Cheese butter sauce. We also got the Fettuccine Alfredo with a lobster tail and the hangar steak sandwich! SO GOOD! But the best part of the night was the service. Our server, Vini was AMAZING. Above and beyond a server’s duties. He was so friendly and a terrific server. Also, a nice added touch was the chef delivering our caviar. Very cool experience. We will be back and we will ask for Vini!

My boyfriend and I came here for a dinner on our vacation and it exceeded our expectations. We both got the wagyu and shared a loaded baked potato and mac n cheese. It was all amazing. Our server Erwin was very kind and attentive!

Michelle at Mandalay Prime in Clearwater is absolutely fantastic! The service is top-notch, and she went above and beyond to ensure a great experience. The food was so delicious, we will definitely be back next time we are in the area!

The food and staff of this restaurant are over the top! Every detail was well taken care of. The steak tips are a great starter and the main dishes were all on point. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great dinner and experience!!

One of the best steaks I have ever had in my life!! We got the filet mignon with the whipped garlic potatoes and the carpaccio appetizer. Would 100% go here again in a heartbeat. Michelle was our waitress and she was the kindest soul. Great staff and service!

Disappointing. Especially for the price. Our lobster bisque was good, but my main course of scallop & Lobster risotto was not. The scallops were tough, overcooked and fishy tasting. Definitely not fresh seafood. Our waiter was friendly, but did not check on us or ask if the food was ok. I would have sent it back had he inquired.

Walking through the downtown Clearwater area is a Ghost Town, but you step into this restaurant and it’s absolutely bustling. Our server Vanessa was very kind and engaging. She did her due diligence in working with the kitchen to ensure my menu choices were dairy free. Service was quick and the food was decent. The fish tacos were adequate. And the salad was a salad. Both tasty, but nothing remarkable.

Great place, we sat in the Garden Room, very pleasant and peaceful. Mike was our waiter - on top of his game, very attentive and a pleasure to deal with. We got the Dynamite Shrimp and calamari fries, then the buffalo chicken flat bread, the pork belly Ramen, the Mediterranean plate and Capitol steak sandwich - food was AMAZING! Cannot wait to go back. Highly recommended!

What a wonderful surprise. Randomly picked this place to eat while waiting for a concert and boy did we luck out. Thai peanut sauce PBJ Brussel sprouts were so good! Bacon wrapped dates were also amazing. Decent tuna nachos and a Reuben as well. Shout out to Chevy the server who took care of us! Great job!

Very busy and very highly rated so I had very high hopes. The server was very friendly and helpful. The food left a lot to be desired. First the good - our pub pretzel was great, and my wife’s lobster Caesar was fine. The bad - we decided to try the conch fritter special. The fritters were gigantic - the outside was almost black while the center was undercooked. My steak came out a very sad grey color. I tried one bite and had to spit it out because it was absolutely gross - had no seasoning and a sour aftertaste that I had to wash down with a lemonade. The lemonade was very good which redeemed it slightly. The next bit was slightly confusing. The manager came out for a chat. I’m not sure whether or not he tried the steak as the server had already removed it from the table, but he insisted on defending it. I’m not really sure what he was hoping to gain by telling us that “they sold hundreds of steaks and so it couldn’t possibly be sour” but the interaction itself left a sour taste as well. Good food does not need to be defended. It speaks for itself. Perhaps he felt personally offended that I did not like the steak? I’m not sure. This place came recommended on Reddit, Google, and TripAdvisor so I made a reservation - it was our anniversary dinner. In retrospect the gigantic menu should have tipped me off - there is no way to keep so many different ingredients fresh. Especially telling that the manager felt the need to defend the freshness of ingredients instead of just apologizing and moving on. In the end my steak was comped and I left the price of it as a tip for the server who was very friendly and in no way responsible for kitchen issues. I felt that it was slightly demeaning for the manager to insinuate that me not liking the steak was somehow my issue. I am not the kind of person who eats most of a meal and then happens to “find a hair” to get it comped. I have worked in food service before so I know it’s a brutal industry and I try not to make their jobs harder than they need to be. That being said, I have never had a grey piece of beef that tasted good. Grey beef is either not fresh, or not cooked correctly, or in the worst case scenario both. The steak was a special which makes me wonder whether it was only a special because it was no longer fresh and management did not want to take the hit of discarding it. Overall I don’t think I would return unless the menu was changed. I could not in good conscience recommend this place to my friends.

PbandJ brussel sprouts were surprisingly good. Steak great! Truffle creamed spinach was amazing! Scallops were great! Kali H was exceptionally great server!!

Stopped by without knowing anything about this place and it was phenomenal!! We ordered 4 appetizers and they were huge! Everything was so delicious! Will definitely be back!

Delicious food and excellent service! We had the quiche along with the avocado toast paired with delicious fruits. Our server Renee was great!
