    Wings $14 soy ginger
    Ken C.

    Come here once a year for a conference and layout is the same but menu seems to be upgraded. Price is a bit steep but its the best available option if you are staying at Sheraton. The miso glazed salmon was good but a bit burnt. The mashed potato was surprisingly incredible. The wings were underwhelming but onion rings were cooked well where the breading and onion dont separate after one bite. Staff all work hard and from the 3-4 people I dealt with all were very friendly and checked up several times. Definitely appreciated that.

    Superfood salad
    Roberta H.

    We brought all of our beach stuff into this restaurant... and sat down to eat lunch. We were greeted with a smile and menus! The food was excellent. (I've eat here a few times) today I got the super food salad it was sooo good! $13.00 and the peach sangria. Yummy!!! They have a pool table and tvs and sometimes entertainment. The kids Mac n cheese was $5. And it's Kraft. The seating is self seating and it was comfy!

    Sat down right away.we are staying at the hotel here so wanted to get something close by. The waitress was awesome. Would have given them a five, but the price of the food was a little high for the type of food.

    VERY thick Ceasar salad dressing
    Cathy P.

    I love Sheraton Sand Key Resort as a whole, but I have to say, the prices in the Mainstay Tavern are outrageous. I ordered a Caesar salad, and it was mostly just lettuce with a few croutons and some cheese sprinkled on top. For over $10, I expected a bit more substance. The Caesar dressing was a major disappointment--it was so thick it couldn't even be poured on the salad. And the anchovy taste? Way too strong. It was so overwhelming that even after brushing my teeth and eating a piece of cheesecake somewhere else, I could still taste it. Really gross. I expected better quality from a place like this.

    Turkey Club!

    Mainstay Tavern located inside the Sheraton Sand Key is perfect for lunch. Quick wait staff and very courteous. Our table had fish and chips and a turkey club all with fries. Fries were well seasoned and crisp! Turkey club came with avocado aioli yummy!! Overall solid lunch everyone enjoyed it, so solid 4 Stars !!

    a plate of sushi and avocado

    Drinks are good, but food its just okay. The burgers and grouper sandwich are frozen, so sorry, but if I am gonna pay 17 bucks for a burger or a fish sandwich, I expect it to be fresh, not frozen. Also the ahi tuna and shrimp bowl use regular jasmine rice rather than sticky sushi rice. Again, drinks are good, bit overpriced for my taste. I would eat somewhere else.

    This is a gem! Best damn steak I've ever eaten in my entire life! Perfectly cooked, so tender it didn't even need a knife ! the sauces were delicious as well. 10/10 My friend got ribs and said they were AMAZING as well. this place deserves way more hype !

    This hotel bar/restaurant was amazing! Tbh my expectations are always mediocre for hotel's just due to my previous experiences. Here however my food, drinks, and service were all superb! Nate was our server and his service was impecable. He was always mindful of our drinks getting low and made a great drink recomendation for me and it was delicious. He also recommended the brisket nachos and they we're also so good for a hotel bar! I LOVE nachos so to have such a great plate of food on top of a great beach day was awesome! Nate was very attentive and made our experience great so I'm very glad we decided to grab a few drinks and hang out at this bar before we left the hotel to go elsewhere.

    Mojito is out of this world!
    Leah M.

    Food is good and I love that they offer small plates. The mojito is probably my favoriate and the best I have ever had! The bartender just seems a little sad and unhappy tho.

Our waitress was so sweet, patient and made sure our littles were taken care of. With that alone, you got me! That said the location is awesome, within walking distance of our hotel up the street which was great. Plenty of indoor and outdoor tables along with tvs to catch any game. The food was pretty good. We had the lot version of the breakfast burger, trash can nachos and the crispy chicken wrap. The wrap was a little disappointing because the chicken tender wasn't hot but other than that everything else was great. The burger and nachos shine. You have plenty of options for your side and we decided on French fries and veggies! Both were sooooooo good. The veggies had a ton of flavors and the veggie of the evening with squash, zucchini, and onions. And the french fries were crispy hot and seasoned really well. Kids hot cheeseburger and it came with a free dessert! Such a nice touch. I have two kids and even though I should've had one she gave each of my kids one. Needless to say, when you take care of my kids, I take care of you. tipped her 22% and will be back again.

    Best thing: The fresh happy hour oysters and the plentiful seafood feast (especially the crab legs…read moreand tasty grilled corn). Type of Food: Maryland-style seafood, coastal American pub fare, and fresh local catches. Review: Coco's North is a solid seafood spot located right near the main strip in Clearwater. We dropped in for dinner on a Tuesday night, and the service was incredibly quick--we were seated the moment we walked up, though that speed might have been thanks to it being a weekday rather than a busy weekend. We ordered the seafood feast, which was impressively plentiful and loaded down with quality crab legs, mussels, clams, and potatoes. It also came with a grilled ear of corn that was exceptionally tasty. Since we timed our visit with happy hour, we made sure to grab some oysters, and they were incredibly fresh. To top it all off, our server was excellent and genuinely friendly throughout the entire meal. Cons: The parking lot is quite small, though still manageable if you timing it right. Thumbs up / Thumbs down: Thumbs up. The food was great and the service was top-notch, so I would definitely go back.

Our waiter, Dustin, was very kind and professional. We ordered the Crab Legs, Peel and Eat Shrimp, and Crabcake Sandwich. When we got our order, everything seems over cooked. The shrimp just fell apart when taking off the shell and the Crab Legs were hard to crack open because they were too soft. We tried 2 pieces of shrimp and gave up. Just as we thought it couldn't worse, the corn on the cob was too mushy to eat as well. We ate at over 5 restaurants on the Beach and each meal was amazing, very disappointed that we spent so much for a meal we couldn't even enjoy. When he noticed we didn't eat the shrimp, he just took it away without asking how everything was.....
