    Thai glazed mahi mahi
    Zhaina P.

    Came here for a birthday dinner and it was a lovely evening! The service was great especially considering we had a fairly large party. I started with the crab soup which had loads of crab in it and was so nice since it was cold out. For my entree I had the Thai glazed mahi mahi which was such a party of flavors and a great portion, I was able to take half home. This place is great for a date night or even a scenic lunch. If the weather permits I definitely recommend sitting outside.

    It's been quite some time since I've been back here, so time for an update. Came here for my friend Lisa's birthday lunch and I was excited to try it out again and hang out by their pool. It's definitely a unique experience to have lunch and a swimming pool at the same place. Coming on a Thursday was great. The pool was relaxing, the water was warm, & the server by the pool was very helpful and made sure everyone was taken care of. That was def the best part. We had a frozona blue drink which was very refreshing and an ice cream sundae. Lunch time, we came right when they first opened at 11. We were the first one there and it quickly filled up. We ordered a ribeye with fries and a crab soup. They were quite enjoyable. Our inside service wasn't great compared to outside. As soon as we would have a question, our server was walking away and it was difficult to track her down for anything. We were deciding upon getting the pineapple creme brûlée for dessert, but we knew that would take forever, so changed our mind. I think 3.5 star average for this restaurant is pretty accurate. I can't do half stars and I would if I could bc the server at the pool was much friendlier and helpful. It was my friend's birthday and I'm glad that we had a good time nevertheless.

    Gimlets

    One of our favorite restaurants in this area. Staff is always super friendly and efficient and their food is consistently on point. Oh...and they make a really tasty vodka gimlet...which not a lot of places can do. Great location right on the water w seating inside and out. If you're looking for a nice place for an amazing meal...this is it!!

    Family came here for our last meal before heading back home and we love it here. Large food menu with seafood, chicken, salads, etc. we love the outdoor space and sitting on the patio by the boats. Service is also always great! Fast and friendly.

    Blackened salmon with street corn and grilled asparagus

    First experience....Wow! The sunset view, food, music, drinks, staff and hospitality was over the top. Valet parking was unexpected but the staff was on it. We did outside seating which made our dining experience even better. We will be back again

    Katelyn was an awesome bartender and food was amazing as well as her great service ! Will be coming back again !

    Shrimp scampi linguine
    Michelle P.

    This was my first time at Ozona after I had heard it recommended many times. They had a good wine list and a great menu. I had the shrimp scampi linguine and it was enough for dinner that night +2 to 3 leftover meals. It was just a really solid pasta dish with excellent sauce and the shrimp was done perfectly.

    Risotto & shrimp toast

    This is one of my favorite restaurants in the area. Fresh food, friendly staff with a clean area. They have a pool and hot tub for you to jump in and have a drink by a pool or just dine and enjoy the marina view. Valet parking is available or you can park yourself. Tons of seating and everything I've ever had has been amazing. Good pours and great flavor

    Appetizer - Fire Cracker Shrimp ( 14.90 @ 10-23-2025 )
    Braden W.

    As some other recent reviewers have reported your experience may vary. Front desk staff was friendly, bar staff where we sat to eat and drink seemed to only care about certain guests. My brothers have been here alot and couldn't stop singing their praises but the night we went was a completely different experience. We practically had to do a dance on the bar to get attention to get another drink. (they are not cheap) I was drinking the best vodka they had on site on the rox so a pretty easy drink and i was only able to get one since i couldn't get anyone's attention. One of my brothers was drinking wine and getting about a 2/3rd pour compared to some other people at the bar. Then someone wanted to watch something on the TV and paired their phone to it with some dang bright hockey game they were not paying attention too blinding you at the bar. The food was absolutely stellar so if you feel like getting agrivated but having some tasty food i guess you could risk it here. Good Luck Player One!

    Grilled grouper sandwich with really delicious potato salad - taste as good as homemade!

    I was so surprised with Yelp only had this restaurant at 3.6 star. Kara was a wonderful waitress, both patient and knowledgeable. I had the 1 pound peel and eat shrimp hot with butter, my sister's had the fried grouper sandwich and the grilled grouper sandwich and both were fabulous, and we shared a large wedge salad with shrimp which was delicious - all so amazing. I love the fact they have valet parking, and the views of the they were beautiful. It's a very likely place with both inside air-conditioning seating, outside fan seating, and cabana seating. Such and enjoyable lunch!

    Flat bread

    Would give 2,5 stars if possible. We ordered calamari, but had more fried onion than calamari. Beers and wines are served in plastic cups Server didn't know the drafts they had, ordered Stella and yengling, both weren't cold enough. Food was good tough, but service bad, needed to beg to our server to come to our table.

    Predatory worker compensation structure - Be aware…read more We recently dined here and noticed the tabletop signs explaining a mandatory 20% "commission" added to every single bill. When speaking with our server, she informed us that management classifies the waitstaff as 1099 independent contractors, meaning they receive a $0 hourly base rate from the restaurant and rely entirely on this mandatory guest fee for their paycheck.I have a physical copy of the check showing this automatic fee. While the sign claims this "supports our team," classifying standard restaurant servers as 1099 workers instead of W-2 employees is a massive red flag that contradicts federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) guidelines. Independent contractors set their own hours and operations; servers do not. Furthermore, a restaurant cannot legally leave a server's direct hourly base wage at zero by relying entirely on automatic service fees.We love supporting local staff, but we want our money going to businesses that respect basic labor laws and compensate their employees legally. Hopefully, public pressure will force management to fix their payroll structure. The server said the restaurant was on the verge of bankruptcy and had to make changes. Sadly they chose to break the law. On that note the service was lovely, the food very tasty. I asked to sub corn for flour tortias and she was able. We don't directly live in the area, and its been a while since we've been here. Its always good, with good portions and not a chain. Its so unfortunate.

A lot of the restaurants are closed for lunch though, which is how we ended up here. It's a lot larger than it looks. There's a really cute covered outdoors area in the back with a stage for performances. There were only a few diners there for lunch on a Friday so it was easy to grab a spot. I got a skinny strawberry margarita, it made me happy to see a skinny version of a flavored margarita on the menu. It has a sugar rim and was delicious. It's on the sweet side and I'd definitely get it again. I requested it without soda water. For my main I got the salmon bowl. I wouldn't get this again, but it's because the base is mainly fried wontons. I thought it would be a scattering of fried wontons but nope, it was a hefty portion. I didn't eat most of the fried wontons because I'm trying to be healthy. It's a delicious dish, just not for me. Service was great, but we were an easy table because we were chatting the entire time. I enjoyed our meal here, so we will definitely be back!

It has nice flavor, but there's not a lot of octopus in it, which defeats the purpose - Seared Sesame Ahi Tuna - very nice flavor, but they only gave 6 pieces of tuna and 3 wonton chips for nearly $30 - Cedar Plank Salmon - best thing we got. It's the only dish that had the perfect amount of everything and was enjoyable to eat. The cedar gives the salmon a very nice flavor - Port Wine Glazed Pork Osso Bucco - disgusting mushroom risotto. Pork was undercooked so we had to send it back to be fixed. Came back cooked correctly and tasted decent. They gave a good amount of pork. This place is ridiculously pricey for the small amount you get for most of the dishes. Lots of issues with our visit and it just isn't a relaxing place to eat with how loud it gets. 2.5 stars overall.

Upon entering, I was struck by how small the space was, but it's cozy and intimate, and I understand exactly why it's been voted the most romantic restaurant around. It was our wedding anniversary, and we were acknowledged for 22 years of marital bliss. We were seated in the back left corner booth - THE prime table for two, right next to the sommelier station. We were promptly greeted by Sean, our server. There are some people you just know, from the moment they greet you, will take great care of you all evening. Sean has that rare tableside manner that blends personality, hospitality, and professionalism that exemplify the truly elevated dining experience. His presentation of the menu was practically an oration, painting a vivid picture of each dish, activating the cephalic phase of digestion. We started with his recommendation, a goat cheese bite for hors d'oeuvres. I'm still not sure what the base was, but it set the tone as the catalyst for every flavor that followed. For starters, my wife and I both chose the bisque: an onion-and-potato-based delight. I honestly don't remember what was in it, and honestly, I didn't care; it was perfection. From there, my wife went with the Black Pearl salad while I opted for the Caesar, curious to try their take on the classic. Her choice was the clear winner. The Caesar was generous and beautifully plated, but not the standout of the night. During his presentation, Sean claimed the filet was the best in Tampa Bay. Naturally, we had to find out for ourselves. Served Pittsburgh style, it did not disappoint - the heavy char deepened the juicy, flavor-packed bite with every cut. Best filet in Tampa Bay? It has my endorsement! Finally, dessert. We finished strong with the Banana Foster, a recipe with origins from the owner's grandmother. We also went with the Tarte Tatin, reportedly the most popular dessert on the menu for the past 18 years, per Sean. Once again, extraordinary. We're used to heading into Tampa or St. Pete for elevated dining. So happy we found this "pearl" right in our own backyard. Take my money!

That's changed since moving to the Gulf Coast of Florida, where the fish at the local restaurant today was probably swimming yesterday. My "go-to" seafood now is a grouper sandwich which I order blackened but NOT fried. I've sampled grouper sandwiches from many local dining establishments, but my favorite is from "Carvor's Fish House" A couple of important notes: 1) Carvor's is only open for LUNCH. Their hours vary, so you'll want to check the website, but they typically close at FIVE PM, with the last order accepted at FOUR PM. 2) Carvor's has NO inside dining The patio is tree-shaded with extra umbrellas but if it's really hot, you may be uncomfortable. 3) Carvor's has COUNTER SERVICE. You go inside, order your food and THEN go back outside and select a table. When your food is ready, a server will bring it to your table. 4) This is downtown Dunedin, and parking can occasionally be a challenge on Douglas Street, but FREE parking is available in the city parking garage across the street.
