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.

This place is absolutely adorable…read more I think this street is the perfect place to hit up a couple restaurants for a progressive dinner. 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!

We love this place! The shrimp scampi is my favourite and on Thursdays, it is only $8.99!…read more The environment is fun, casual, and beachy. The service is always knowledgeable and kind. We love the neighbourhood. It is in, also. It is one of my favourites in the area.

Molly Goodheads in Ozona is such a treat. If you're looking for raw bar items, their raw oysters…read moreare always on our list. Tonite we had some medium size Apalachicola oysters. 6 for 17.95. Delicious. They have daily specials. Tonite blackened fish tacos 2 for 9.95. With a cup of gumbo and Caesar salad we walked out of her with a great dinner for 2 for about $65 before tip. Love the Old Florida vibe. It gets busy, but if there's a wait there are restaurants right across the street where you can get a drink or app while you're waiting. Sit on the porch. Casual. Fans blowing. Great way to spend dinner time.

Fatty Fish Shack is always a solid option for a laid-back Florida afternoon…read more We stopped in for the covered outdoor seating and live music after spending the day relaxing in a hammock on the Dunedin Causeway -- and it hit the spot. I love that the outdoor area is covered, so you still get the fresh air without the sun beating down on you. It was surprisingly slow this visit (I've been here before when it was packed), but service was still easygoing and the drinks were reasonably priced for what you get. We tried the smoked mahi fish dip -- definitely a standout, super flavorful and worth ordering. The West Connecticut lobster roll was good, and while the coleslaw was a little on the dry side, the potato salad made up for it. Overall, it's not somewhere I'd write off -- I'd absolutely come back. It's a great go-to on a pretty day if you're in the mood for live music, decent drinks, and a relaxed vibe.

Our waiter was definitely slow to get our order for drinks and food. I had the lobster roll warm…read moreand I could've swore on the menu it said it came with other stuff, but it was really just some lobster in a Texas toast roll. The coleslaw was incredibly dry and I was not a fan of their potato salad. The mahi fish dip was actually really good. It tasted fresh. And the Long Island iced tea I had was strong. I'm not sure I would come back for the food but for the music and drink deals maybe .

I grew up in the Midwest, with a typical "meat and potatoes" diet. On the rare occasion that…read moreseafood was on the menu, it was typically a frozen variety like Groton's, or the occasional fish fry at the Elk's Club. 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. Pictured is my "blackened grouper" sandwich. A refreshing change from the usual French fries is their homemade chilled tomato, cucumber and onion salad. Delish!

I've only been there twice. The first time I just had an appetiser which was really good…read more Unfortunately, I can't remember which one it was. The next time, we went for lunch and they were out of some things that we initially ordered, but we ended up with a heating plate of fried things that kind of felt like bar food. It is a cute spot and I would probably try it again. I just did not think it lived anywhere near up to the hype that most locals give it.

We had a fantastic experience at Crabby Bill's in Palm Harbor!…read more Let's start with the service--Cory was top-notch! Not only was he funny and genuinely enjoyable to talk to, but he provided excellent service from start to finish. He definitely added to the overall experience. We started with the smoked fish spread, which was excellent. It had a great smoky flavor, and serving it with jalapeños was the perfect touch. I had the fried seafood platter, and everything was lightly battered, crispy, and full of flavor. It was so good my wife kept reaching over and picking at my platter! She ordered the lobster roll, which was a great-sized portion and absolutely delicious. Great food, great atmosphere, and an all-around great experience. We'll definitely be back. Big shout-out to Cory for the excellent service!

Came here after a day at Indian rocks Beach, they have a location (original) there, but I found out…read morethere's is a location in Palm harbor, on my way home to tarpon. This location is way better!! It's (3) levels and I sat at the top on this gorgeous day! Drinks are great for happy hour which runs from 11:00am-6:00pm great drinks for $5!!! I had the BEST Crab Cake since I moved (3 years) to Florida! Don't agree with a $35 dollar price tag..BUT it was Soooooo buttery, that I was scraping my skillet for more. Service was great! They might have been short handed..I'm just assuming...but the waiter was making my drinks! That alone is a SUPER bonus!! All-in-all I will come back! I'll be back for the crab boil..they have (3) to choose from and they look delicious! I was snacking all day, so "Linner" was light.
