Pleasant Surprise finding Welton! And when I say surprise, I mean surprise - found it on Yelp but…read moreyou're not going to see it from the road. The restaurant is located behind the German club on 66th Street, a second business in the German club parking lot! Apparently, the family that has his place is from Maine and they got a lot of success brewing beer. That's success led them to start the restaurant serving seafood from a family business in Maine. We started off with a bowl of New England clam chowder and a dozen oysters. To what are whistles we got a glass of their tap Chardonnay and a beer. My wife's Chardonnay was ridiculously good! But nothing could beat those oysters - sweet with a little bit of brine, and very fresh. For dinner we got a lobster roll - they come hot or cold, with the hot coming with melted butter. We also got the fried haddock roll.... Wow! Both were fantastic! I know we overdid it with dinner.... We even got an order of the whole belly clams. I didn't think anyone in Florida served those down here! Absolutely ridiculous . In short, we had fantastic dinner and terrific beverages. I really recommend you at least try to find the place - we almost didn't go in because of its awkward location and the fact that no cars were outside. We saw the place was open and decided to have a appetizer because the Yelp review was so strong, and I'm glad we did! I told the two people there they should park their cars nearby so patrons would see them..... Anyway, I'm going back again, but this time I'm bringing friends!

It came with french fries and coleslaw, and I enjoyed both sides. Even the tartar sauce was so good - I think it might be homemade? We also ordered the Connecticut style lobster roll and the Maine red snappy hot dog, which were good. The guys who run this place are so nice. He even let me keep a few oyster shells to take home for the kids to use in their crafts! Lots of tables, bar seating, and a corner full of board games and such.

I'm really at a loss for words. So I'll just tell you about the Greek Salad with tuna salad…read more A square plate ( always hard to eat from) with old soggy greens, mealy tomato's, no dressing and cow patty of the nastiest tuna salad, perhaps better used for mortar. After dropping the plates out server disappeared for 30 minutes. When she finally returned and saw the uneaten food she quickly apologized for not checking on us and removed the items from our bill. What this tells me is no one is paying attention in the kitchen. Had they, they never would have served this garbage. Hey Owner, how you do anything is how you do everything. I know what you're doing. Shameful Oh, remember my rule about the filth they show you isn't half as bad as what you don't see. Check out the rear of the restaurant. Out in the open for all to see. Again shameful

Btw --ask (if possible) for Alan if you want the best service in St Pete Beach. He was super knowledgeable on every single dish and had the best of recommendations. Something tells me this guys is a true foodie! He said to try the Blue Fin Tuna appetizer which was killer esp with its teriyaki/blueberry sauce. We also split the Coconut Curry Snapper (Thai style curry btw) we added the Crispy Brussel sprouts as an addition. The snapper came out great -- soft, flavorful, and little sweet with a bit of a soft kick that complemented the coconut rice. Overall--it's one of the best spots on St Pete beach and would highly recommend.

We had a late dinner at Buoys this past Friday with a large group of people. Our waitress was…read moreabsolutely amazing and checking on us even when we were catching up and not ready. We ordered some chips and guacamole to start, which was fresh and the chips were crunchy. I ordered a sun cruiser, which was cool and delicious. For dinner, I ordered the grouper sandwich blackened. It was really good. I ordered the truffle fries and that would be my only complaint. There wasn't a huge truffle presence on it. I much would have preferred more, especially because it was $3 extra. I was a little surprised by the price, but figured that were on the water so didn't complain and just rolled with it. Definitely a cool spot to come near the water and probably for a sunset or to catch some dolphins.

When I asked about their gluten-free precautions, our server reassured me that the chefs take it very seriously and are very careful when preparing gluten-free meals. We ordered the shrimp ceviche and seared ahi tuna for appetizers, and both were delicious! For our meals, I had Doc's paella, my daughter had the mahi-mahi with jasmine rice and vegetables, my son had the panko shrimp with fries, and my husband had the macadamia nut-crusted grouper with vegetables and rice. Everything came out fairly quickly and tasted good. Everyone in our party liked their food except my daughter she said her fish had zero seasoning or flavor, the service was great, and I really appreciated the care they took with gluten-free precautions.

The quintessential beachy vibe with indoor and outdoor seating! Big outdoor bar was perfect for us to belly up to while we waited for our table to be ready! Bartenders and servers were very friendly and present during our stay! All I heard throughout the afternoon was how much I needed to try the Yucatan Shrimp...and it did NOT disappoint! Garlicy, buttery, and perfect spice to these peel and eat Shrimp! The baguette is the perfect pairing! I also had the Grouper Tacos, which were perfectly cooked and had a yummy chimmichurri sauce on top! I appreciated that they came with fries as well, since two tacos wouldn't have been enough! If I had one critique, it was that the Mai Tai was far from a traditional Mai Tai...too fruity without enough Rum. I'd skip it if you are a fan of a strong Mai Tai!

So nice we had to visit TWICE…read more The coconut crusted mahi mahi was a highlight. It was soft and fully coated with obviously real coconut - not sugared or overly sweet. It was a huge fillet, which makes up for having some smaller sides. I'll let you in on a little secret, I only eat fish when it's locally caught and fresh and this was worth it 100%. The house salad with Pima colada dressing has me imagining how to make this dressing at home. Sweet and creamy and easily coating every leaf. The bread at the start of the meal for a disproportionate amount of attention from my family. It was served hot, with garlic and maybe other seasonings across the top, and generous sides of butter. Our initial server, Kyle, kept the bread flowing for us until the meal came and it was fantastic. We gave the potato skins a try, and they were delicious! My family ironically isn't huge conch / shelled fish eaters so the rest of the appetizers didn't suit us much and this was a lil Midwest taste while on vacation. We returned to try the jalapeño crusted grouper and were again very satisfied. Totally different than the coconut mahi, it's savory and well flavored but leaves you far from begging for water. The fish is thick and flaky and the sauce was similar to a bang bang sauce to pair it all together. The favorite sides were loaded baked potato and garlic smashed potatoes! I'd say it's a must visit during your trip to Madeira !

Started with some drinks from the bar, most of the drinks were good, however one Margarita did not taste in the least bit like a Margarita. Service was pretty good and friendly Started with several appetizers of Muscles Marinara and Potato Skins. The Skins were good. Muscles Marinara arrived with a ton of Muscles, however the Diablo sauce was way down towards the lower 1/4 of the bowl, once tasted it was very good, had some tasty mushrooms plus spinach - Just needed a descent amou of Sauce. Most entrees were good. The Linguini with Clams was very tasty, Jalepano Grouper was good, 2 orders Special of Soft Shell Crabs, seemed to be loaded with too much breading batter to enjoy thrm.

Tucked away in an easy-to-miss corner of a strip mall, Shrimpy's Blues Bistro is one of those spots…read morethat rewards you for knowing it's there. From the outside, it doesn't immediately stand out. But once you make your way around back, the setting opens up to a waterfront view along the intracoastal that completely changes the experience. Sunset is the time to be here. Between the colors over the water and the occasional dolphin or manatee sighting, it's a setting that feels far more special than the location suggests. There's usually plenty of parking, though the entrance can be easy to miss if you're not paying attention. Look for the break in the divider when coming off the main road, otherwise you might drive right past it. The atmosphere leans lively but relaxed. They typically have live music in the evenings, which adds just the right amount of energy without overwhelming the space. Seating is flexible with both indoor and outdoor options, though on especially hot days, you'll want to be mindful of where you sit. The Florida sun can be intense, so a shaded table with a fan makes a big difference. Drinks are worth exploring here, especially since they tend to rotate specials. It's always a good idea to ask what's currently featured. The menu is rooted in New Orleans-style Creole cooking, and it shows. There's a wide range of seafood-heavy options, from po'boys and shrimp or scallop pastas to fried baskets, chowder, and fish and chips. The dirty rice and beignets round things out nicely if you're looking to branch beyond seafood. Prices run slightly above average, but the quality backs it up. Portions are solid, flavors are on point, and the overall experience makes it feel worth it. This is the kind of place locals keep in their rotation and bring visitors to when they want to show off something a little different. It's relaxed, scenic, and consistently delivers, which is exactly why it sticks with you after the first visit.
