Went with a group of ten woman for lunch. I ordered a Bacon cheeseburger medium rare+ with fries. The burger was brown and dry. That, along with the fries were way, way over salted. And I am a salt user! The waiter ordered me a replacement which I choose to take with me as the other guests were near done eating. later at home I unwrapped it to take a look. Still brown and dry, more the texture of meatloaf than a burger. No bacon on it this time and way over salted limp fries. Another guest ordered the chicken special and she too was disappointed. it was very dry, came with plain white rice and a vege. Those that ordered the asparagus got two thick stalks each, undercooked and served plain. The atmosphere there is very pleasant but someone needs badly to work on the food. Dorothy McManus read more

The food was ok, but for the price there should be a bit more on the plate. The service was good

Four of us went to dinner for the first time on December 28, 2023. Unfortunately, we didn't have a positive experience, which I wrote to them about on their own website ("chat") but they chose not to respond . I have provided them significant time but since they chose not to, well, here goes. Very nice ambiance. Hostess was pleasant when seating us. The warm bread was very nice as well as the crab bisque that 2 of us got. The salads arrived soon afterwards which were good but our dinners arrived before we could finish our salads. Waitstaff stood there trying to place our meals on the table, so we rushed through eating the salad or didn't finish it. The red bottle of wine that my husband and I ordered was opened and instead of pouring a small amount into the wine glass to taste prior to serving, a full glass was poured. Then the cork was inserted back into the bottle. Red wines stay open to breathe. Our waiter was not engaging and had a downer of a personality. At first we thought he had a dry sense of humor, which we welcome, but that was not the case. He mentioned that there were several menu items already not available - not a reflection on him - but were surprised since we were there early - a 6p reservation. He highly recommended the sea scallops with crab cake (said the scallops were huge), which I ordered. It was fishy smelling and typical size. Two of us ordered two of the last available three Chilean Sea Bass and thankfully, for the price, were delicious. The steak entree was also very good. In serving, a waiter reached across the table and handed a plate to my husband asking him to assist. There was plenty of room for him to walk around the table to serve properly. After we were done eating, yet a different waiter arrived and placed another entree in front of my husband. Wrong table and no awareness that we finished dinner. When we asked about desserts, we were told that they weren't good and "I wouldn't get any." We didn't order anything else. The bill arrived and thankfully, the other guest we were with noticed that gratuity was already included. There was no mention of this nor did we see anything written on the menu about it - surprising because we were only a party of 4. It would have been very easy to mistakenly leave up to a 40% tip on an already very expensive dinner check. We are residents of Palm Harbor and frequent Tarpon Springs. It has been a desire of ours to dine at Currents for years. After finally going and expecting a great experience all the way around at this fine dine establishment, the entire experience fell short of expectations. Spending hundreds of dollars on just two of us should have translated to a positive, memorable experience - from the food to the service, which ultimately makes the night. Unfortunately, the lack of service/attention and concerns that I expressed to them shortly after our visit went ignored. We will never go back and have expressed our disappointment to our friends and family, and finally here. Margo Espinosa read more

Mouth-watering food, amazing service, and the ambiance is perfect. Our absolute favorite restaurant in Tarpon!

What a great place! We took my boyfriend out for his birthday and he picked this place. Definitely high-end but worth every penny. The house salad is huge to start with and the bread to die for. He got the roasted duck and I got the pan seared salmon. The neighbors got filet mignon and shrimp with scallops pasta. Everything looked yummy. See the pictures. Our server James was attentive and right on point. I have nothing bad to say. Lighting perfect and elegant. Highly recommend give them a try. We even got a free slice of key lime pie with raspberry sauce for his birthday. I normally wouldn't put key lime with raspberry but honestly it was delicious! read more

My family held a Celebration of Life for my late grandmother at Currents this past weekend. What was a really difficult day was made a bit better by the exceptional service and care from Currents (and the spanakopita, we cannot forget the spanakopita). We filled the event room with lots of pink, pictures, and poems. The staff kept the food coming, the water topped off, and even serviced the room for the cash bar. I was really appreciative of their care. And really impressed by the space itself. Tarpon Springs is so lovely and this unassuming building boasts a dope event room! Who would have thought?! The event room is fully AV equipped. There is a large projector screen, and it has it's own restroom. read more

Sadly I will not be returning to this restaurant again. I attended two weeks ago with my group of friends, and an uncomplicated meal took 2 1/2 hours on a Tuesday evening when the place was only half full at 6:30 when we arrived. My friend had to pay $160 upfront for a reservation for 8 people, and only 7 were able to attend. They refused to refund the full $160 because we were short one person (refunded$140).... Said it was because of lost revenue from the 8th person. On a Tuesday night in a half full restaurant! Ridiculous.... We have never been to a restaurant with this type of practice, and poor customer service. It has cost them all future business from our group of 8!! So sad for them..... read more

This is by far THE BEST restaurant in the area and believe me I've tried them all. The ambiance is perfect for a romantic evening, girls night out or family celebration. Eating here at least 2 nights a week we've tried almost everything on the menu. I promise this chef is better than what you'll find at some of the supposed 5 resorts in the area. If you're in the mood for beef go for the short rib, feeling fish go for the blackened snapper. The jumbo shrimp and grits are the best in town. I promise you'll find no better. The grits with fontina cheese and Cajun crema are nothing short of delectable. James behind the bar is incredibly talented and creative. Oh and Do not skip the lobster bisque and the Caesar salad is our go-to every dang time! So freaking good. We're addicted to this place and we know you'll love it too! read more

Heard this was the best steak in Tarpon Springs. Brought my son for dinner. We ordered this steak meal to share for $88 and a bowl of lobster bisqu. The biscue was very salty and a thick cream, maybe one or 2 little pieces of lobster in it. It was not good at all. Next the salad came out. only one dressing available. Very Bland. n Next the mashed potatoes and steak we ordered medium was more than rare... nothing had any flavor. The mushrooms were in the most horrible white sauce that was sweet or something. I love mushrooms and steak. This we couldn't eat.. Very disappointed in the food for spending over $100 without alcoholic drinks and the waitress didn't seem to care we were not happy with this food. read more

We went there on a Monday night. We were not told it was a limited menu. Also found out the refrigerator was out. All that being said the food was good, the service was good. What I was most disappointed in was the fact that we were offered a choice of house salad or caesar salad and was up charged $4.00 each for the Caesar salads. Also, they brought 6 salads to the table with only 5 people and were charged for 3 Caesar salads when we only had 2. What astonished me the most though was that I was charged $4.00 for ice. I ordered a crown Royal on the rocks and there was a $4.00 charge for "rocks". I wish I could give it a better review and I do not mind paying well for a quality meal, but I do not like getting nickel and dimed. read more

Amazing service - and the best crab cakes, braised short ribs and crème brûlée... oh yeah - and the muddled margarita and wine selection is superb as well! read more

We went back to Currents today to celebrate with friends the event of our 50th Wedding anniversary. We had 7 people with us, 4 separate checks. First I will compliment Ryan our serve who was beyond attentive, he was very thorough. We were taken back by the gratuity being added to our checks at the 22%, to each of our checks, now we are generally very generous with our tipping and to add this at this rate was insulting. No further tip was given. Probably would have given more if the AC or ceiling fan was working, very uncomfortable on the very warm day in May. But nothing more because they forced 22%. I ordered bourbon neat....two pours for $28, then a $4 charge for NEAT! What is that about? Our roast filet at $106 for 2 was full of grizzle and fat. Further it was supposed to be served with asparagus and it was offered with spinach or carrots. Not to my expectations for 2 glasses of wine, 2 appetizers, one tea, 2 bourbons, and a shared bread pudding. $306. With $51 tip. Don't bother going here, try Berns in Tampa. Gave one star for Ryan our server. read more

My wife and I reserved Currents for a Christmas Eve dinner. They had special menu seatings for 5pm & 8pm. We arrived at 4:45pm for our 5pm dinner. I have never had such poor service ever before. They were ill prepared for the evening. It was over 30 minutes before anyone came to take our drink order and another 20 minutes before we received our cocktails. They had a large group in the back which seemed to be getting all the attention while we were being ignored. After 1hour they finally took our dinner order and it was another 20 minutes before we got our appetizer. Then we waited and waited for our main course. We were so irritated we finally told them to forget the rest of our dinner, and we would pay for what little we had consumed in almost 2hours of sitting. We left and will never return. It was to be a special holiday evening that turned so bad. Currents used to be one of our special occasion places, but has become a high priced restaurant with poor service. This is not the server's faults, but poor management. Be warned if you are considering going there. read more

I wish I could give separate stars for service and food. The food was amazing after we got over them not having Scallops or Rack of Lamb (which we had been craving). The service not so much. The place was not crowded but it took 15 min. to get my very very sour cocktail and 30 min for our salads. While we was leaving I noticed other guests had bread baskets and I asked "should we have had bread?" the response was "Yes, you didn't get bread with your salad?" Really, You been serving all night and didn't notice we didn't have a bread basket, smh. To close, food is 5 stars service 3 stars. I don't know if it was because we are people of color that my cocktail took so long and not noticed that I only had a sip and it sat the entire meal, we never received bread, salad took long, over an hour for the main course and finally the staff took pictures of other patrons in their Valentine attire and no one asked if we would like our picture taken at any time. The food was delicious but we will Never return. read more

Service was phenomenal. You can tell all the meals are truly home cooked. Everything was very fresh and delicious. We had 2 Tapas, lobster bisque and 4 unique entrees and they were all great! read more

Currents Restaurant - 16 oz Ribeye, garlic mashed potatoes with asparagus and a flight of cheese fused bourbons. - Seafood Near Me - Tarpon Springs, Florida

We weren't aware you needed reservations when we arrived at 8:10 on Tuesday, but that was ok, the Hostess asked us to wait until a table opened up. We waited about 10 minutes and then were seated. Our table was at the back, which allowed us to look at the artwork on the walls, and look at the whole place. Over all, it's a lovely little place, a bit small, but the bar is really impressive. The service wasn't hurried, Caleb, our Waiter, was attentive without hovering. Our water glasses never went dry. The FOOD! Lordy! The food was absolutely divine. We started with the brie with pesto. This was amazing. Our entrees were the Seared Salmon with Spinach and a basalmic glaze, and the Angus NY Strip, both were cooked to perfection. The sides that came with each were perfectly seasoned and made out taste buds sing. Lately, since we're both on a restricted diet, we wouldn't order dessert, but tonight, I just had to try the flourless chocolate cake. I'm so glad we did! This was a little bit of heaven on a plate. Rich and thick, and served with a raspberry sauce... It was simply too much at the moment, so more than half came home with us. I would recommend this place to anyone in the Tarpon area. Especially anyone looking for a nice little place to go on Date Night! read more

I recently moved to the area and went on a meet n greet at this location. We had a nice cocktail and i ordered chowder and shrimp tapas . Was informed shortly after ordering that they were out of shrimp and waiter suggested sea scallops. They had a wonderful bacon jam on top but the the actual scallops were quite raw inside. Since it was a first date i opt'd to eat the scallops and happy to say i didn't get sick. Great atmosphere - i will probably try again. read more

I'm so disappointed. First, no one told me the menu was prix fixe when I made the reservation for 17:00 Dec 31 which is a faux pas! Then they seated us in a room that was nicely appointed except for the folding chairs. The room was attractively decorated for the New Year. MANY rookie mistakes. Food servers didn't know what dish to serve each patron. The Caesar salad was not fully dressed. They didn't have dessert forks when they served our dessert. At $75 a person, a party member's short rib dish was half fat. Not one complementary glass of champagne for that price either. The food was decent (besides the short rib dish previously mentioned) but not for that kind of money, especially when we ate at their first seating. read more

Our family decided to go to Currents to support our local restaurants and to celebrate our anniversary. We had been to this restaurant several times before and had liked the atmosphere, but it had been a while. The food was "okay to good" in the past; nothing memorable, but never bad. We looked at menu on-line so we were not shocked by the high prices (and they are high). We went early and it was not busy; just a few tables were occupied with two or three people. There were two servers working in the restaurant. We asked for a table off to the side and we were seated immediately. In general, the waiter was pleasant and efficient in his service. The food came out in a timely manner, was hot, etc. We enjoyed the crab cake and the escargot appetizers, and the salads were good. We ordered a bottle of wine for the table as it was a Wednesday $10 off bottle special. Unfortunately, the entrees were NOT good. We order the Duck and two different Redfish dishes. We also got two creme brûlées and two cappuccinos The duck dish looked nice and was served over mashed potatoes. The redfish dishes also looked nice when served - one redfish fillet was topped with a crab cake over rice and a side of string beans, and the other redfish fillet was served over grits with a fontina cheese sauce. Duck was tough and chewy. Mashed potatoes were good. Redfish with crab - redfish was (extremely!) overcooked. The crab cake was runny and barely cooked. The string beans were overcooked. The rice was good. The lemony sauce was so salty and acrid, that it couldn't be eaten. Redfish with fontina cheese - redfish was a bit thicker than the other piece, but was still overcooked. The fontina sauce was so salty that it was inedible - we each tasted it and there were still salt crystals in it. (it was crunchy) Creme brûlées were not cooked properly - curdled (?) Cappuccinos were sweet which was unexpected (usually unsweetened) Two of us have extensive restaurant work experience, so we know what should happen in most restaurants, especially a so-called nice one. We complained to the waiter several times during and after the meal; and although, he was sorry and nice, he did nothing to remedy the food situation. No food was replaced nor was anything deducted from the bill. He did thank us for telling him so no one else would have the same experience. Oh, almost forgot, he did give us a small container of fresh grits to go. I assume the chef and manager does not give them the ability to do so. It was hot out and we were tired and in no mood to fight with management over very disappointing meals. I do know that we will not go back to this restaurant. read more

Where to begin... This restaurant did NOT disappoint. Even though we are running a bit behind for our reservation. The entire staff working that night where on point. Kami was our waitress we had a hit it off immediately. The atmosphere, the wine, & the food! Can't forget the food, was amazing! I can't wait to come back to dine with them again. 10/10 recommend. GET THE SCALLOPS! They're to die for. read more

Great owner and management team. I have been going here for about 3 years and they don't disappoint. Try one of their special event dinners, or tapas and wine nights. Guys, bring your dates! ;) Also great for events in their back space. I've had lunches with over 70 people! The staff is incredible and the food always hits homeruns. read more

We had not been to Currents in several years, although we live in Tarpon Springs, having had a rude experience with the owner; she made a big deal out of us not having a reservation, in a restaurant that only had about 6 people in it. Fortunately, we decided to try it, as the food had always been decent. I will admit they have upped their game since our last visit. Their crab cake was Eastern Shore Maryland style, pan fried, and was excellent, as was the sauteed Grouper in a creamy cajun sauce. The service provided by Alma was highly efficient, informative, and delightful. We will be returning. read more

This was our go to place for dinner, went in every other week, about two months ago we went in and ordered dinner an hour later no dinner, server came over to table and told us chef lost order. We didn't go back for two months and decided to give it another try. Went in ordered drinks and dinner off the menu, twenty minutes later server tells me the chef won't make what I ordered which was a filet minion burger, which they are known for. We canceled dinner paid for drinks and left. I asked for the owner who we know but she wasn't in. Probably will not return again. read more

We had dinner here to celebrate a family members birthday. The service was good, the atmosphere was ok and the kitchen left much to be desired. Several dishes arrived with issues. The portions were small - asparagus was two small stalks and bland rice and potatoes were maybe 3/4 cup. Nothing arrived hot, temperature was lukewarm at best. My husband ordered the sea bass special - and this is on him for not asking the price - the dish was $58! If the food had been hot and flavorful, perhaps he would have felt it was worth the price. read more

We had a great time. Ask for Ciara...she rocked! Food was great!we enjoyed wine, cheese and meat plate, osso buco, flatbread and a trio sampler and dessert. The cheese and meat tray could have been a little nicer but all in all...great experience! read more

A friend from nursing school used to work here, so I came in to say hello and ended up finding the BEST Burgers! Currents takes filet mignon and grinds it up to make amazing hand shaped burgers! They grill it to perfect temperature, put cheddar cheese, bacon and bacon jam on it and put it on two big leaves of Romaine lettuce for me. They have delicious french fries too. I order the sauteed veggies instead and the side house salad with their own custom Champagne dressing. My friend no longer works there, but I have brought other people here to enjoy the burgers (watch out though other burgers won't taste as good after you eat the ones here). I even have ordered and picked up during the lock down. read more

I have to say the waitress was great, very friendly and attentive; however, this was some of the worst overpriced food I've ever had at a restaurant. Salmon was bland and the veggies that came with the meal were green beans cooked in butter. Won't be returning. The food honestly made me sick to my stomach. read more

Good food, good service, good ambiance and great location. Parking is a bit of a challenge in Tarpon, but that's more of a city issue.

Disgusting. I'm still so angry I don't know where to start ! Dirty for starters! Wine was warm ! Stinky Salmon fish dip ! ( tried but couldn't eat ) Wilted lettuce ! Caesar salad dressing huge joke ( right from the bottle of Great Value Products ) Raw hamburger when you ask for medium! Music dude rude ! Management took 10 minutes to come over ! Then makes it over and get a used warped up ratty coupon for 10 bucks ! No thanks read more

Hubby and I happened upon this little gem a year ago and it is definitely one of our go to places! The restaurant is located on a corner in Tarpon Springs, a sleepy little burb known for sponge docks and Greek food up until now. This cozy place has it all....fantastic food, competent and friendly staff and pleasant surroundings with live music on the weekends. Our favorite is the flatbread that has chicken, bacon and cheese is soooo good, seriously. We have eaten almost everything on the menu, not at one sitting, mind you, but over time, we have enjoyed every morsel they set in front of us! The bartenders make decent drinks, especially the Long Island Iced Tea, which is all my hubby will drink. I prefer pinot grigio and they have an excellent selection of wines and even brew up some interesting infused bourbons! There should be a solid line down the street for this delicious house of flavors and if my review causes this, I will be very upset if we can't get in!!! Be warned! read more

What a great experience at Currents. Service was amazing and on top of all of our needs. Food was just delicious every bite.

When we arrived at this place there were 3 other tables in the whole establishment and 2 servers who were also the bartenders. We waitied 5 minutes at the podium because only one girl was working behind the bar, we almost left and should have. We ordered drinks which took forever. i ordered our appetizers with the drinks . When they arrived, they came out cold and one was sent back. The server never once checked with us to see how the food was, not once. I was told I could have a ceaser or house sald with my meal, but when the check came, there was a $2 charge for the ceasar. he sated that he told me that, which he did not. We were both in shock he lied right to our face. Dinners were good, but the service for this type of restaurant was awful! We we extremely let down and would not return or recommend this place to anyone. read more
