There is also a grill where you pick your raw ingredients, and they grill in front of you. The dinner was $33.95 per person. However, they have plenty of high end options.

I walked into The Tides Seafood Market & Provisions without knowing I was about to stumble onto one…read moreof Safety Harbor's best little food discoveries. Talk about a shockingly good find! From the moment I saw the seafood case, everything looked ridiculously fresh, and that freshness carried straight onto the plate. The Tides is both a seafood market and restaurant, so you're surrounded by beautiful seafood and ingredients that actually look like they belong there. Then I noticed the MICHELIN plaque outside the building and thought, wait a minute... THIS place has Michelin recognition? Apparently, yes! The Tides has earned a place in the MICHELIN Guide, which suddenly made a whole lot of sense after tasting the food. That salmon was seriously some of the best I've ever had. Fresh, beautifully prepared and so clean tasting that it didn't need a bunch of heavy sauces or nonsense piled on top. It felt like one of those rare meals that is indulgent because it's delicious, but you also walk away thinking, I actually ate something good for me. The Tides was a genuine surprise, and now I'm wondering how many other little gems I've been driving right past without knowing they were there.

This was my 2nd time to the Tides to give them a 2nd chance since they became Michelin recommended…read more I still dont see the hype. Their seafood is just good but not mind blowing. The fried shrimp basket was good but the fish and chips really didnt have any taste to the cod. The slaw and potatoes were good but their food reminds me of the tourist trap seefood restaurants by the beach. Chefs should start tasting their own food to know if it tastes good or not or maybe they were raised in a bland household but someone needs to understand taste and seasoning.

I visited La Placita Mexican Restaurant for the first time last week (I believe their grand opening…read morewas in February 2026), and overall it's a solid spot worth trying. The portions are definitely on the larger side ~ very filling, just like you'd expect from a typical Mexican restaurant. The menu is extensive, offering not only traditional Mexican dishes but also options like chicken wings, soups, and seafood (including octopus and oysters), which gives it a nice variety. They also offer catering, which is a great option for events. I went with a group of 12, and we were seated outside. The ambiance is bright and fun, with lots of greenery, flowers, and neon lighting that creates a lively atmosphere. As a complimentary starter, they serve chips and salsa, which were fresh and tasty. The reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the service. Even though the restaurant wasn't full, it felt a bit slow ~ we had a 7:00 PM reservation but weren't able to place our order until around 7:40 PM (that's when server asked if we were ready to order). That said, once we ordered, the food came out quickly (within about 15 minutes), which was a plus. The food was enjoyable, portions were generous (many had leftovers to take home), and the vibe was good. With a little improvement in service speed, this could easily be a five-star experience.

Mannn terrible !!…read more Walked in today and was like wow the ambiance is amazing in here! But that was as far as it got. Sat down, the chip lady came and dropped chips and we ordered guacamole table side. Then the server got us water and never saw the young lady for 24 mins and then we asked for the manager but man NO MANAGER ?? Who opens the restaurant ?? The server definitely did NOT GAF when she realize she had a table....the chip lady was more concerned about our table than the own server..... terrible first experience!!

I really wanted to like Sparta because it's in close proximity, but after giving it two chances, I…read morecan't solidify going back. On my first visit, I ordered the mix & match gyros and specifically requested no onions because I have an onion allergy. The receipt even said "no onions," but when I got home, both gyros had onions on them. Lacked flavor. I decided to give them another chance and ordered two burgers. Unfortunately, they were just as bad. The burgers were bland, had almost no seasoning or flavor, and didn't taste fresh. They also weren't very warm by the time I got home, so I had to reheat them in the microwave. I don't mind giving a restaurant a second chance, but after two disappointing experiences, I just can't recommend it. The food lacked flavor, and the mistake with my allergy request makes it hard for me to trust them with future orders. Front staff also bland, no smiles, no politeness. Nothing, bland just like the food here.

I had a takeout order from Sparta Seafood recently. I ordered a Gyro and a Fish Sandwich. The Gyro…read morewas quite good, loaded with meat and I had tzatziki and lettuce added to it. Nice flavor and a good value for $10. The fish was basa, had lettuce, tomato, onion and pickle on it, and was fresh and delicious. The food was ready when I arrived and the interaction with the staff was brief but friendly. Overall I thought this was a pretty good meal and I will return to try some of the other dishes on their menu. I'd give this a 3 1/2 stars.

This is one of our favorite seafood restaurants in Pinellas County…read more The service and ambience are terrific and the food is even better.

Knowledgeable, personable and attentive.....what more could you ask for? The overall experience was wonderful, as always. Nice,cozy atmosphere. Excellent service. And the food was pretty much perfect. I ordered the special ($90), a Tomahawk rib-eye cooked Pittsburgh medium and it was prepared perfectly! (see pictures). My girlfriend ordered the seafood Risotto, that was also excellent, with crawfish, scallops and shrimp. I always look forward to their Flame stone salad with pecans, cheese, dried cranberries and creamy balsamic vinaigrette. I would have given 5 stars but for me, at these prices, I would expect the meals to include bread and salad. The rib-eye came with 2 sides, the risotto with nothing.

We had a large group stop by for dinner last night. Service was phenomenal and the restaurant was…read moreclean. I was disappointed in the food. I got the Steak Frites and asked for medium. Most of the steak was well-done. The fries were okay and I wasn't a fan of the sauce it came with. I still cleared my plate because I was hungry. It wasn't worth bringing up to the server due to not wanting to wait for another steak to be cooked. Some comments from the rest of the group: the steak salad came with blue cheese crumbles and that's all you could taste. It overpowered the salad. The BLT wedge was okay, nothing over the top. The caesar salad with steak was good. The mac n cheese had good flavor but it was super oily. Overall, I was disappointed with the experience, especially for the price.

Great ambiance and service. The ocean views make for a great meal vibe…read more The conch fritters were disappointing. It comes with tajin lime and a piña colada sauce.

You couldn't really taste the conch it felt like it got hidden by the dough flavors rather than complimented by it. loved the French toast though!! Super fluffy I loved how everything paired well with one another the apples, blueberries, Nutella and marshmallow topping. The hangover hash was also quite enjoyable. The prime rib pulled apart easy and was super flavorful. Save yourself the money by not getting the florentine omelet. The others on the menu carry because this omelet was bland.

The restaurant was clean and had friendly staff. We sat at the bar and ordered flights. There are many beers on tap and it seems like they constantly rotate their selection.

The burger was simple but seasoned very well and cooked to order. I would return to try more beer and food from TBBC.
