    A gem of a restaurant, a destination for delicious food and drink to discover on an otherwise generic tourist strip. Family businesses like this have become a rarity, and they have to appreciated for keeping up the tradition of classic American dining. To expect budget fare at a classy supper club like this shows a lack of knowledge of what makes this place special.

    Nice vibe inside, super chill and I bellied up to the bar. Great conversations and excellent service. Food is really good and so are the drinks. The Pino Noir is incredible with glassware to match!

    Oysters!

    Lovely ambiance with an "old" and new section. The piano player (who is 90 and has been there for years) made it even more fancy. Our server and staff were accommodating. We were sad that they were out of grouper, but recognize it as a good thing, as it means everything is fresh. The crab cake was the best I've ever had! The oysters and seafood plater were too. You myst try the ginger molasses biscuits...almost asked to take some homeb

    Surf and turf and a raspberry lemon drop martini

    Amazing experience! Service was awesome, food was very good and everything was extremely reasonably priced! Cozy, classic feeling restaurant. We loved it

    The crab cake was out of this world
    Sisi M.

    Ordered the crab cake and it was out of this world. The atmosphere is very nice and welcoming.

    The service was amazing and the food was even better. Was surprised at the wine menu as it was extensive and the food was very fresh and delicious. The ambiance was romantic and they even had a piano player playing soft music.

    Red snapper
    LB B.

    Upscale ambiance, quiet. Service was fantastic, pleasant and friendly. Excellent seafood. Hubby had the scallops and they were very nicely done and delicious. I had the red snapper which was cooked to perfection and very tasty. Probably the best red snapper I have had. Dinner salads were just the right size with a lovely in-house dressing. Now the real star of the night.... Those ginger molasses muffins!!! Everyone asks for extras to take home! Those were amazing!!

    Clams, very good

    This place has been here for 75 years and is family generational owned. Some of the restaurant is updated and other parts look original. It really is a beautiful spot for a nice dinner. We ordered clams and French onion soup for appetizer's, those were really good and suggest ordering those. The home made bread was very good. We ordered the two lobster tails and the surf and turf with broccoli and hollandaise sauce on top and mashed potatoes. The lobsters were good. The filet minion was a little dry. The sides were nothing to brag about. I really liked the service and the drinks and the apps.

    I love their escargot and clam casino

    Service was excellent. Ambience was excellent. Menu was limited. Food was overpriced. $40 for fried chicken dinner?

    Food portion size was small for the high prices. Nothing impressive about the food. Lacked flavor. The staff was very friendly.

We had the steak, pizza and pasta bolognese as well as the hummus appetizer and the Caesar salad. Everything was delicious and hot if applicable. The ambience is wonderful for a date night but what made it extra special was the restaurant manager who really made it all run so amazingly. You can tell the wait staff are enjoying their job and the chefs are all on it because of Dominic. We have been to many a restaurant in our 60 plus years but it takes a great manager to make it all come together. This is so worth visiting when you come to visit Clearwater Beach! What a treat to dine here!!

    Fantastic casual dining restaurant with a fine dining feel. I had no idea this place was considered…read morecasual dining until the table next to us asked for a manager who explained it as part of their response to a complaint. No complaints here though! What makes this place unique? They offered Caymus Cabernet BY THE GLASS, which I have not found before, and I frequent higher end restaurants often. It was fun to have a high-end glass of wine without spending hundreds on a bottle. It's also nice if you want to try other drinks. The espresso martini (get it with Baileys added for a smoother taste!) is huge and delicious. Brussel sprouts appetizer and feta whip appetizer were both tasty and ample for two people. The spicy fish tacos are Mahi Mahi and a MUST if you like Mahi. I will only eat Mahi if close to the ocean, and it was great. No fishy taste, nice and tender. The brownie dessert that was off-menu was perfect for a sweet bite. So many nice restaurants get too crazy with their specialty desserts, and sometimes you just want a simple yet decadent treat like a brownie! Make a reservation on their website and relax. It's an easy Uber ride if staying locally as well.

The brussel sprouts appetizer is HUGE. It was double the size I have received at other places, so took some back to the hotel for leftovers. They also came with a tasty dipping sauce that was unique as well. The Caesar salad was neutral; no strong flavor yet not distasteful. No anchovies taste either. I could take it or leave it. The filet steak was tender served over some mashed potatoes and thick asparagus wrapped in salty, yummy bacon. The smoky old fashioned and expresso martini (with Baileys added extra!) drinks were tasty. Make a reservation online and Uber/Lyft if you are close as it's easy in and out!

We ended up splitting the seafood pasta dish, and it was more than either of us could eat, even after splitting it. Service was good for dinner. Martini was good, but the blue cheese stuffed olives were prepackaged from a jar. Breakfast blew us away. Every dish we had was great. I don't think you can go wrong. Breakfast pizza was surprisingly great and enough for two people to split. Service at breakfast was fantastic. The coffee was always flowing and the servers were always smiling. The atmosphere and ambience are OK. I don't love the vibe, as it felt like a dated dining room experience. But Food was still great. If you are staying at the Opal Sands, the entire complex has amazing food and you don't even have to leave. Huge benefit to staying there.
