Pork belly
Stephanie S.

I honestly never write bad reviews but... This is Just another over priced, lacking in taste, tourist trap of a restaurant. If you have the time and patience, there are soooo many other restaurants in the area with better quality. We ordered the 96-Hour Pork Belly and the spice in the peach puree was overwhelming, the pork belly also overcooked and dry. We also ordered the Black Grouper in Parchment which was ok at best, and the incredibly bland Hereford 1881 Ribeye. For $49 I expect it to be cooked to the temperature I asked for. I asked for Medium Rare and got a "light pink center" instead. We said something to the server, who then spoke to the manager and all they offered us was a dessert. Ummmm like no, the dessert is not even the equivalent of a poorly executed steak $50 steak. The manager also never came by to apologize or talk to us at all. We sat outside and enjoyed the live music. Our server was Gianna who seemed too busy to be bothered as well.

Table of six! Wow! All the staff are attentive and very nice! From Lydia and Tyler at the host stand with the friendly smiles and quick action to help my friends. To our fantastic server Blaine and Josh who was not our server but was absolutely sweet and took many photos for us. The whole place has great staff. The chef has to be top notch because all of our food was fantastic! I had the Korean BBQ Salmon served over rice with veggies which was fabulous! The drinks were cold and made excellent! This is the 2nd time I have been and it definitely won't be the last! Very clean with amazing views. They validate your vallet so don't make parking an excuse not to go! This place is worth it!

Beautiful cave entrance at Cove Kitchen + Bar

The Cove Kitchen & Bar is a newly renovated relaunched restaurant at Shepherd's Beach Resort with more of an upscale vibe and ambiance. The entrance of the restaurant has a cave style to it that makes you feel like you're at magical far away tropical land! There is patio seating available outside as well as inside seating next to a window both offering great sunset views of the water! There is no booth seating but there is comfy chairs. Our server was very friendly and attentive! For the appetizer, the Deviled Crab Cakes which came with Cove's housemade lump blue crab cakes served with spicy mayo. 8/10 For the appetizer, Conch Fritters came with Tender sous vide conch, trinity vegetables and Creole flavors. Served with spicy mayo. 8/10 Hereford 1881 Ribeye 14oz came 28+ day dry aged and was tasty. 9/10 Macaroni au Gratin side was tasty and super cheesy! 8/10 Colossal Curry Shrimp came with large Colossal shrimp, bell pepper, onion, sautéed in a delicious green coconut curry sauce.. Served over cilantro-lime white rice and topped with Thai chili and cilantro. 9/10 For dessert, we had the Reese's Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie. It was delicious! Tasty but not overly sweet, just right! 9/10 If you're in the Clearwater Beach area and looking for upscale seafood dining and steak with a view of the water, I highly recommend the Cove Kitchen & Bar!

They accommodated us with a table outside for five, even though typically their tables only seat four. The food was great! We had crabcakes, pork belly, Sea Bass, pork chops, and filet. One warning though - if you get the snapper, be sure you like spicy food. The flavor is amazing, but they use Jamaican scotch bonnet peppers. My favorite was the dessert which was almost like a baked Alaskan, but with Keylime pie. Definitely will be bookmarked in return again!

Excellent breakfast!" Wonderful service (thanks Tyler!) Great dining on waterfront--visiting cranes will join you!

Re: food service The bartender is our waiter. No fault of his own, but food service is horrible! The prices are not cheap so we'd thought service would be superior. I'm writing this review as we've sat for half hour / no appetizer, no salad, not even bread! We've booked a large party upcoming - I will not recommend this place!

Traditional breakfast - eggs, potatoes, ham and biscuit.  Yum!

Renee was great! Fresh coffee, smiley, friendly and helpful. She even made our table larger to accommodate all six of us. Food was slow but fantastic! Views gorgeous!

While at the beach we started to get hungry so me and my princess decided to grab an early dinner after a day of long travel and the hotel receptionist said " go eat outside at the sandbar!" Brianna was our server and was amazing ! She made my little one a Shirley temple which she loved and kept the cold beers coming for me . We ordered shrimp cocktail for appetizers and wings then I decided on the grouper sandwich with a side salad and fries and mini cheeseburger sliders and fries for my little one. We enjoyed our view of the ocean and stayed after we ate and got to see dolphins swimming near by. We will definitely be having lunch here a few more times before we leave. Fish is fresh caught and so good I'm already thinking about dinner lol ! 10/10!

We had drinks to start; my 20 year old and 16 year old had soda. Wife had a Coroner and I have the spicy jalepeno margarita. All was great! We did not get apps, but there are lots of choices. For mains I had the Birria tacos with onion rings. One daughter had the same. Great taste, but if I had to do it over I would get a side of salad or coleslaw as it was a lot of fried on my plate. That said, finished it all! My other daughter had the chicken Cesar salad and loved it. Chicken was very tasty. My wife had the grouper basket. She thought it was tasty and hit the spot. Service was not bad but not great. Just not friendly. Overall a great stop. Be prepared you are outside and if the weather turns you are on the hook. Also, no reservations so first come first serve! Go. Here.

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.

The bar is located on the third floor and we took the elevator to get up there. The atmosphere is an open outdoor bar with tiki themed decor and a DJ. The music was super loud which was not appealing to us but we found a secluded table that was away from the noise. The views from the rooftop are spectacular even if it was way too loud. We ordered one round of drinks and all of them were delicious! I ordered the buttery chi chi which was not super strong which was perfect for me. My partners ordered stronger drinks and both were delicious. The ratings on their menu are definitely accurate for what you can expect from a liquor forward perspective. The bar was slammed so it took a little bit to get our drinks but everyone was very nice. We didn't order any food but would probably return for drinks!
