Kudos to John the scotch-welsh server we had. He was really fun to converse with. I ordered the churros and the key lime pie. Oh and I had a Bloody Mary. Which was good. The churro was really amazing. The texture and moisture was perfect. Crispy on the outside but nice and moist in the inside. The key lime pie was also amazing. The crème was light and fluffy but also flavorful. The whipped creams was also really fantastic as well. Would really recommend. read more

Dining inside and outdoors available. There may be a wait for large parties. We sat outdoors which allowed us to enjoy the cool breeze coming from the Gulf. We had brunch here, it was pretty good! The last time here we had dinner and that was pretty good. It's safe to say the food quality and flavor is consistent. The music adds a nice vibe to all this. I'd definitely come back! read more

My husband took me here for dinner while we were in town for the day! Clear Sky has a few different locations in the Clearwater area, but this location in particular is off of Mandalay near the pier and beach. A good thing I noticed right away is there were several items on the menu that sounded really great, so it made it difficult for me to decide what to try! Thankfully our server was very patient with me lol. After taking some time to go over the menu I opted for an espresso martini to drink (dark is the best way to enjoy), the wagyu/kobe sliders which had Brie cheese & jalapeño onion jam on it! Instead of sticking with the usual fries as a side I subbed it out for their lobster Mac! The sliders were the perfect size and just what I needed to fill up! The Brie and onion jam paired together perfectly as well! Surprisingly the lobster Mac had a crispy layer on top and was very tasty! My husband ordered the pan seared grouper with lemon risotto which was to die for. This was such a great experience for a restaurant that was chosen by guessing! Next time we are at the beach we will be back to try out some more items! read more

Was in Clearwater for the weekend, and our Airbnb host recommended for us to come here for dinner and I am so grateful that he did because this place is a gem. It was about a 10 minute walk for us so we decided to take a stroll down the strip and stop by a bar to grab a drink before our dinner reservation. We came around 7:15 PM to see the sunset for dinner and we probably could've been able to get in without a reservation but just wanted to be safe. The weather was perfect so we opted to sit outside. The only issue were the seagulls that kept harassing the outside tables. Our server Dave was so nice he offered to change tables but we opted out since we had a great view of the sunset! We probably ordered with our eyes instead of our stomaches because we were stuffed, died, and went to foodie heaven. My favorite dish we ordered was the truffle scallop gnocchi and the dynamite shrimp. So much flavor and the gnocchi was soft & chewy they were so good! I could order a bunch of those in place of an entree. Another dish that was memorable was the miso sea bass. It was extremely flaky and buttery. We had an amazing time at this restaurant. Definitely a great place to go if you're in the area. I want to come back for brunch! read more

Clear sky remains in our rotation of places to eat. We try to check out a new place weekly but we still keep coming back to Clear sky because of their consistent quality food, excellent service and frankly amazing happy hour prices. When feeling tight on the budget a 1/2 price flatbread, a few 9oz pours if house wine and walk out after tip with less than $20 bill is unheard of these days. Also their brunch is excellent with their bloody mary bar where you can have your bloody mary your way with options galore. read more

I was in Clearwater for vacation and was looking to check out the local restaurants. It was a Saturday night and we were lucky to be able to get a table without any reservation. It was a little cool out and the inside dining area was packed. They had a covered patio and had the heat lamps running full on with a musician performing. The result was a cozy, jazzy atmosphere. My girlfriend and I started with the specialty cocktails. A local version of an old fashion using Buffalo Trace which was perfect. I tried the Salmon for the entree and my better half went with the Asian salad with Ahi Tuna. We both loved it. The dinner serenade was the icing on the cake. read more

Yesterday I got the French onion soup (again) with the Cuban. I love the soup and it was a first time to try the sammy. Didn't really like the mustard. Just a plain old mustard will do but theirs had maybe some aoli or Mayo in it yuck! We had to ask for extra pickles too! Overall it's a great spot for food!!!! read more

I'm always excited when I see a short rib. It's very hard to find one but this was just okay. For as umami as it looks, it wasn't very flavorful so that was disappointing. The gnocchi was good and that almost redeemed the dish. It's a pretty busy restaurant, we sat outside. It's cute outside and it's nice people watching. It's right on the strip heading towards the beach so be mindful if you're not okay with crowds or traffic. read more

On recommendations came here for dinner on Mother's day. Although busy the staff moved quickly to find us the perfect table that was not too close to the music but still outside under the patio cover. The server was very friendly and had good drink recommendations- the prickly pear margarita was a unique specialty cocktail and good. The bruschetta was light and refreshing and made for a great appetizer. The grilled seafood came out perfect, with tasty vegetables and rice on the side. They didn't skimp on the seafood and everything was well portioned. The music was a comfortable noise level and there was a mix of patrons there, usually a good sign, and had relaxed beach vibes. It's been a while since I've been able to give a five star review.. so it was nice to find a place with consistency all around. Though we were too full for dessert we look forward to returning here on our next trip. read more

He comes to your table with a smile and you can tell how much he loves his job! Our food was great and he even gave me a fresh cup of coffee instead of a top off which I usually have to ask for in most restaurants but he offered and i said yes! What a guy! The management staff is fantastic also and makes sure everyone dining is happy with their meal.

I recently visited the recently renovated Clear Sky Cafe on Clearwater Beach. They faced a real challenge to rebuild after the hurricane season last year and made the most of that "opportunity." The new and improved dining rooms, both inside and out, are spacious and bright, and the overall feel is both welcoming and luxurious. We went with our friends for dinner, and had an amazing experience with a very attentive and knowledgeable server who helped us pick from the updated menu - top notch choices, I might add. The food was delicious and my wife said it's the best grouper she's had in years! Nicely done, ClearSky. You continue to impress! read more

If you want to find the go-to breakfast place in Clearwater, this is it! Clear Sky has one of the best breakfast burritos you'll find in the area, with breakfast potatoes that you may want a second helping of! The juice here is not bad, as we expect everything in Florida to be fresh squeezed when it comes to this. The Nutella crepe was a great addition, with a good amount of chocolate, nice presentation, and definitely my kind of crepe. We'll definitely be returning here, as we had this on our itinerary as a twice a week stop. Also, the prices are not bad at all! read more

This place is always hopping but we were able to get a seat inside without a wait. It is very loud but clean and classy. Our server Rick was outstanding, he gets five stars--very helpful and attentive. My husband had a hazy IPA draft and I had a fruity mojito. We ordered the ahi tuna nachos for our appetizer. The wontons were light and airy, it was delicious but needed a lot more sriracha aioli and was not as good as Salty's. My husband ordered the Thai peanut pasta but sent it back because the pasta was wayyyyy over cooked and mushy. He ended up with a pizza instead and it was incredible. So so delicious! I had the blacked mixed grill. The snapper, shrimp, and scallops were good but also a smidge overcooked. Still yummy though--but the best thing on my plate was the jasmine rice--it was cooked perfectly. All in all, the best part of our experience was Rick, our server. We might come back for breakfast but we probably wouldn't for dinner--unless it was for pizza. So our recommendation is order the pizza. read more

Loved this place!! I saw it was among the best brunch places in the nation, so of course I had to check it out. They didn't take reservations, so I expected getting a table for 10 people to be impossible, but we only had a 40 minute wait (on a Saturday at 10am)! Totally a doable place for large parties without reservations. This whole area is so walkable so there's plenty to do while you wait! We got mango Bellinis to start, and they were delicious! People even stopped to ask us what they were because they looked so refreshing, and the taste measured up. The menu offers a ton of variety -- we all got different things and all finished our plates! The service was very friendly and fast -- she got our large table waited in the time it takes some to wait a 2 person table, making this a good spot to swing by Pre-beach if you're on a crunch. It did feel somewhat cramped because we were seated right next to the parking lot/sidewalk/waiting area, but even then it wasn't horrible. The rest of the experience made up for it. Would recommend and would come again! read more

Stopped in for post sunset dinner Sunday. Greeted and seated quickly. Mad Dog Maddy was our server and we couldn't have been more pleased. Accommodating and funny. Wife had the 6 oz fillet with "baked" potato and asparagus. I had the pork dumpling appetizer and for meal I had the clear sky roll with side of broccoli Steak cooked perfectly. Wife enjoyed it. Potatoes weren't what she expected. Not bad just wasn't advertised as "twice baked". Not a game changer. We were surprised to hear that adding sour cream was $2. Again. Not a big deal just awareness. Clear sky roll was hands down the best roll I have had in last 5 years. Shrimp and spicy tuna etc. pork dumplings come with 3 dipping sauces. Spicy, hoisin based and a peanut sauce. All very good. Pork was seasoned well. To die for. Service is the key and Mad Dog made it great. Thank her for us We will be back. read more

I also recommend the Mexican Omelette (chorizo, pepper jack cheese, salsa, and pico de gallo) - one word, delicious!

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.

They have tables on the sand tables on a patio and tables inside, so you have options. We chose on the patio because it's fully covered. The tables on the sand have umbrellas, but depending on the way, the sun hits the table may not be fully in the shade. I got the Keylime colada drink. I was a little sad that there was no toasted coconut on top, but it was still good. I also got the colossal grilled grouper sandwich with coleslaw. I always enjoy their grouper.

Clear Sky Restaurant in Clearwater Beach is a very good place with a great atmosphere, great staff, and most importantly, great food. I visited on a Saturday for brunch and although there was a line out the door, we only waited about 20 minutes which was totally worth it. Our server Danielle was amazing and very attentive. She made the experience even better by providing impeccable service. The menu options at Clear Sky Restaurant are endless, and we tried several items. The mimosas were great and a perfect way to start our meal. In addition, we also had fresh squeezed orange juice which was very good. The heart attack biscuit, which is three eggs your way, fried chicken, gravy, and cheese served on a buttermilk biscuit, was nothing short of amazing. The biscuit was perfectly crispy and the combination of flavors was just perfect. We also tried the Mexican Skillet which is a skillet with Chorizo sausage, guacamole, sour cream, pepper jack cheese, and a side of ranchero sauce. This dish was bursting with flavor and definitely one of our favorites. The chicken burrito was equally impressive with grilled chicken, two scrambled eggs, peppers, onions, cheddar-jack cheese, topped with guacamole, sour cream, and ranchero sauce, served with homestyle potatoes. The dish was filling and delicious, with each ingredient complementing the other perfectly. The Beignets & Berries was a delightful and light dessert that I highly recommend ordering for the table during brunch. This deep-fried French pastry with fresh berries and caramel, topped with powdered sugar, was a perfect end to our meal. I also recommend ordering the breakfast potatoes crispy as they were the perfect accompaniment to all our dishes. Overall, I highly recommend Clear Sky Restaurant in Clearwater Beach. The atmosphere, staff, and food were all exceptional and made for a memorable dining experience. read more

We had such a wonderful dinner experience at Clear Sky Cafe! Kristina and Rashid were amazing and provided excellent service from start to finish. When we first arrived, we chose to sit outside but changed our minds due to noise. The vibe outside was very different than inside, just a more lively and inside was a little quieter and calmer. Take your pick!!! They moved us inside without any hesitation and were so kind and accommodating about it. I am currently following a strict low-FODMAP elimination diet, which can make eating out extremely stressful. Kristina was incredibly helpful and patient with all of my questions and concerns, especially regarding gluten, dairy, garlic, and onion. She went back to the kitchen multiple times to check ingredients and even helped brainstorm possible substitutions so I could still enjoy my meal safely. I ended up ordering a margarita-style pizza with olive oil, mozzarella, basil, and bacon, and it was great! Every time Kristina came to the table, she asked whether I had any additional questions and made sure I felt comfortable with everything I was eating. She was also funny, friendly, and genuinely made the entire experience much less stressful. My family was still able to enjoy meals that looked amazing, while I felt completely taken care of. It can be very difficult to eat out with strict dietary concerns, but Kristina and Rashid made the experience so much easier and more enjoyable. I truly could not have asked for a better experience. I will definitely ask for their help again the next time I visit. They make a great team, and this is an overall fantastic restaurant! read more

Beware of this location! The Dunedin location does a much better job with the food. Different menu, much better selections. Over priced for drinks, same as the draught haus but it makes it ok if I'm getting good food. Balsamic glaze blue cheese kettle chips were more of a bowl of balsamic soup with a blue cheese n chip garnish. Ordered the booze burger and was served with a thai satay sauce. Sent the burger back, only to have the server tell me that the kitchen wants to know if they can use the same patty and just scrape off the sauce and toppings. As I thought to myself, why do I want someone handling a patty that I already took a bite out of, I should have said yes because my second "rare" burger came out well done. Bloody Mary bar has great selections, however, the bartender was very slow and by the time I got mine dressed and ready to consume, half the ice was melted. Tip: don't do a Bloody Mary bar out in the sun! Luke warm toppings and mixers is not very appetizing! Overall grade, D-. I've heard and read so many great things about this place. 800 sq ft of sitting on top of each other is not a good time for me. Not to mention the tourist next to me feeding the seagulls. One more tip, I don't have respect for mangers that sit outside and smoke when your on a wait. Good luck at your next job! read more

Ate there 4 days in a row just this week with the family, and all 4 times were really, really good. Staff was very attentive and friendly (thanks to Spenser, Joel, Luigi and our first waitress whom I forgot the name, sorry dear), and food was top notch. At first glance Clear Sky seems more like a regular beach joint, one you find at any beach area with live music, but no, they are absolutely a few steps above that (not that there is anything wrong with it). I mean, I had their pork chop and it was perfectly cooked and with a mustard sauce out of this world (+fingerling potatoes and a oven baked tomato - yummmm). The mussels we had the last day (white wine/garlic) were also fantastic, worthy of a Michelin star (no kidding) - and they brought us fresh extra garlic toasts to finish up the abundant broth. Live music outside was fine, but a bit loud (our choice though as there was plenty seats available inside. Only thing I could say is a negative (and the reason we did not seat inside), is the outdated décor, but wouldn't take a star out because of it. Anyway, congrats to the chef and all staff. BTW, thanks for the free lava cake you gave us for my daughters birthday, it was very much appreciated. Will be back soon as we travel to Clearwater often and stay right across the street. read more

I have taken my visitors from out of town to visit this establishment RELIGIOUSLY for the past 2 years, since moving here. After the service I received this weekend, I WILL NOT be returning. My server, NICOLE was condescending, completely inattentive and overly RUDE! Any time we asked a question regarding the menu, her response was, "Read the description". I had already read the description and wanted a little clarification, which she was unwilling to provide. She then forgot to put in my husbands' order and when we pointed this out, she stormed away and returned to tell us that we never ordered it!!!! She never once apologized or tried to make our dining experience pleasant in any way!! I can not even fathom how she gained employment here or made it through training. She then took it upon herself to add gratuity to our bill, when we were only 4 people! I didn't notice at the restaurant and tipped her on top of that, and she never bothered to point out that we DOUBLE TIPPED her ACCIDENTALLY. I am guessing she does this often. The whole experience has left a bad taste in my mouth and I will be taking my company to Caretta on the Gulf, where the customer is ALWAYS right and treated with respect. read more

One of our favorites in Clearwater. The menu is extensive, so good for families with "picky eaters". I had the Blackened Grilled Seafood mix. You get 3 shrimp, 3 scallops, and a generous filet of fish served with grilled veggies and rice. Our waitress (Rachel) recommended an upgrade to grouper as the fish and Diver scallops. I accepted and was glad for the recommendation. It did cost about $12 extra. The food was excellent. It comes with a spicy mayonnaise dip, which I liked also. I had one of the cheaper Chardonnay's, and it paired well with my dinner My wife chose the Cajun Chicken Pasta, and she was very happy with the food. She could not finish the entire bowl. The kids got the flatbread Hawaiian pizza and the BBQ stack burger. The fries with the burger were like a hybrid of waffle fries and potato cakes; they were very tasty! Great experience, great service, great food. We will be back for sure. Ps we ate at Frenchys original the previous night. No comparison in our opinion. Frenchys smells strongly of seafood upon entrance. The seating is too close proximity, and the servers were overwhelmed. The margaritas were tasty. read more

My family and I recently dined here, and our experience was beyond amazing. We chose to sit at an outside table under an umbrella, which provided a lovely atmosphere for our meal. The service was exceptional, thanks to our sweet and attentive server from Pennsylvania (I wish I could remember her name!). She ensured we had everything we needed throughout our visit. I started with a strawberry mimosa, which was delightful. A quick tip for those sitting outside: the heat can get to your drink, so don't hesitate to ask for some ice if you need it. For my main course, I ordered the lobster omelette, and it was phenomenal. The portion of lobster in the omelette was perfect, and it was cooked to perfection. The grits that came with it were equally fantastic. Our son had two eggs with cheese, grits, and sausage, and he devoured his meal. My husband ordered the Huevos Rancheros, which he described as very satisfying. He says it had the flavor that he was expecting in a Latin genre of breakfast. Overall, our experience here was wonderful, and we will definitely be returning the next time we're in Clearwater. Highly recommended! read more

Beware of this location! Go to Dunedin if you want good food from this brand... We waited 20/25 min to sit, server did a good job, kitchen not so good. Ordered a burger rare, made the wrong burger, then asked if they could scrape off the toppings and re-use the same burger with the correct toppings, after I already had abite out of it. As bad as that sounds, I should have said yes because my second "rare" burger came out well done. Balsamic glaze chips with blue cheese on top was more of a bowl of balsamic soup and very little BC. Tip: don't do a bloody Mary bar with ice in the glass! Give the glass with vodka, then let the bar serve the ice prior to adding toppings. Super nice girl but way to chatty with everyone to finish my time sensitive drink. Tables way to close together! I enjoy sitting in public eating, I don't enjoy sitting so close to the tables on either side of me that I can smell their breath. Very pricey for food and drinks for fast food at best. As I mentioned before, go to Dunedin and you will experience something way different from this brand. read more

I came to Clearwater Beach from the Northeast 2 years ago. The first place I ever went was Clear Sky recommended to me by a realtor. It has become my home away from home I work in the medical field, therefore, I am not home much. Clear Sky became my 2nd family. I got there at least 3 times a week. I enjoy the happy hour with 1/2 pizzas, however, I love the booze burger with the whiskey sauce and black and bleu fries. Also, when I had family in town, we had entrees which were wonderful with the best calamari you could have. I highly recommend it. Coming from the Northeast, sitting on the patio with the sun shining and being able to see the gulf goes without saying. I highly recommend Clear Sky for a fun, friendly atmosphere with great servers and great food. read more

To the owner Dan: For a "no frills BEACH bar" I must say the "no bathing suits" policy is rather asinine.

Host was nice and friendly. He walked us to our tables and got our menus off the wall. Coffee serving was big. Food came out fast after we ordered our food. It's a small kind of like a local diner. Cost wise for each person's meal was not that expensive. It was home comfort food that hit the spot for us. We were fortunate to get seated right away and avoid long waits to be seated at other places. .

This place wasn't on my radar for the research I did for Clearwater. We were walking to crappy's…read moreand turned into a local shop. 4 people said no to crappy's and suggested bait house which was on my radar. Walked over and sadly they couldn't open due to power issues. Mike from bait house suggested Salt Cracker and he was spot on! From the beginning, the staff, the atmosphere, the food, and the scenery is top notch. Justin was a quick and efficient waiter. He recommend me the grouper cake, which wasn't an option I thought of and he nailed it! The veggies were outstanding, the rice delicious, and the grouper cake amazing. My wife got the surf n turf. The mash...excellent, steak...great, the shrimp...solid. I'm so glad we fell into this spot! Highly recommend.

We went here many times. They have a great happy hour and nice beach vibes. We ordered some tacos…read morefor lunch. Shrimp and grouper. They were well cooked but could have used some spice. I applied hot sauce but it didn't do it for me. The service was friendly as it is pretty much all over the island. I love the people here! On another visit we got the oyster special and some key lime pie. The oysters were kind of odd like they were preshucked. Also kind of warm which was concerning. The smelled and tasted fresh enough though. I would not get those again. The pie looked amazing! I didn't like it though. I'm not big on sweets and this was very sweet. I was hoping for more lime and tartness. I know we will be back on our next beach visit.

Great service for our family of four and an easy walk from our hotel down the street (though the…read moreparking for this strip mall seems pretty easy too if you drive). We came too late to snag an outdoor table (1.5 hour max dining time), but the kids had enough space to be themselves in the area they seated us, which was great. We got two kids meals (burger and fish nuggets (pretty meaty!) with fries, though they offer strawberries if you're more health conscious. The wings were great (unbreaded/cajun was my preference), the calamari was well battered, and the mussels came in some good stock (though sad that there were 4 bad/unopened ones in our 1lb mix). Our server was so nice, and we had a good time on our first night in Clearwater!

We came here because DU came into town for a baby shower...fortunately, not an accident between me…read moreand Queen Bee! She wanted to try somewhere with seafood and a view, so here we are. We sat at the bar with Michelle and that was that. Started with calamari all round and I loved it. I'm Greek so I know shellfish and it was good: I ordered two of 'em! I then ordered a grilled shrimp dinner with baked tater and veggies. Nicely done and well worth my while. No big mystery here. QB just had garlic mussels app as a dinner and she was quite happy. I didn't try one so I just take her word as to how good they were. DU had blackened grouper; only trouble was that it didn't come out with everything else. Once it finally DID come out, DU enjoyed it quite nicely. However this is the kinda stuff that needs to be squared away. This is why Star #4 doesn't get it. We love dear Michelle and the ambiance in this joint. Let's see what happens next time...if there IS one. Just don't hold your breath please.

The atmosphere was relaxed, the service was attentive, and the food definitely kept us coming back for another bite. Here are our favorites: Hangry Jen Pasta - The name says it all! This dish is huge and easily shareable. Rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. Seafood Enchiladas - Loaded with seafood, incredibly flavorful, and topped with plenty of melted cheese. Cheese lovers will be in heaven. Petite Filet Medallions with Potatoes - The steak was perfectly tender and seasoned beautifully. The potatoes were the perfect complement and soaked up all the delicious flavors. Lobster Bisque - The standout of the meal! Every person at the table took a bite and immediately agreed this was a winner. Rich, creamy, and layered with spices that linger just enough to keep you thinking about your next spoonful. Onion Rings - Crispy, classic, and exactly what you'd expect from a good order of onion rings. Calamari - Lightly battered and cooked well. It wasn't my personal favorite, but everyone else at the table really enjoyed it. If you're in the area, Coco Wood Grill is definitely worth a visit. And if you're planning to go during peak dinner hours, I'd recommend calling ahead for a reservation. We'll definitely be back!

This review and rating has nothing to do with the food or service which I believe to be top notch…read more This review and rating has to do with poor and abhorrent communication. I called on a Monday evening for reservations for 8 people for the following Saturday evening at 6pm and requested the room near the bar. I was told no problem - they could put two tables together for us. She took my name and phone number and all was good. Saturday afternoon at 4pm I received a text from Coco's stating they could not seat 8 people in the bar area - 6 people is the most they can take. I explained what happened when I tried to use their online reservation app and it kept messing up that I called and spoke to someone there who I assumed was the hostess. She asked me for the persons name and I did not remember it (5 days earlier) The hostess on the phone didn't care and again stated that the largest party allowed in that room was 6 people. I asked why she waited until 2 HOURS before the reservation to call me and she said she and the other hostess came in that night at 4 pm and saw the reservations then. I asked her if she could seat us in the main dining room and she said no they could not. This is inexcusable and bad policy to not review reservations in advance in order to notify patrons of an issue. So Saturday night before Fathers Day, 8 people -4 dads-were left to hang out to dry.
