Checked out the newly built Rum Runners at Sirata Beach Resort. Can not say enough good things…read moreabout the atmosphere and the servers were awesome! We are locals and live on Gulf Boulevard, on the same street, and this is definitely the most upscale beach bar on the beach. Sits right on St. Pete Beach and open garage doors make you feel like you are right there on the sand. The drinks were very good and reasonably priced. The piña colada was off the charts! Not trying to be too dramatic, but was one of the best I've ever had. Huge bar that faces the beach. On the side that faces the beach there are three large screen TVs so just enough. You don't feel overwhelmed like it is a sports bar. Just very beachy and just enough to keep those tuned into the sports with what they want to see (World Cup today). Service was off the charts good. The only critical thing I would say is these poor servers and bartenders are all dressed in long sleeve and long pants in BLACK! It is painful to watch them! Just BRUTAL!!! We were there on 4th of July and it was well over 100° and these poor people were dressed in those uniforms. Management - come on!!!! This is cruel and unusual punishment. Put them in shorts and short sleeve shirts, which would fit the ambience of the place and would not make people sitting there in already hot conditions feeling sorry for them. That's just inexcusable! We will definitely be back. Prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere and location is absolutely awesome! Diamond, our waitress, was absolutely stellar. Will be coming back if nothing else just to check in with her - hopefully in more temperature friendly attire.

We were seated in the bar and the tables had nice leather arm chairs, but they sit so low my face was level with the table. I had to pull the back cushion to sit on and kept slipping off my seat. My husband is really tall and he had the same issue. So my evening did not get off to a fantastic start until my vesper martini arrived. And wow was it good! We ordered onion rings as an appetizer and they were perfection! My filet and my husbands ribeye were both really good and cooked perfectly with excellent cuts of meat. The quality was wonderful. We enjoyed the mashed potatoes, the jalapeno corn, and the Mac and cheese as our shared sides. We will definitely be back!

I wanted to eat outdoors or on the beach or both while the weather is fantastic and Caddy's delivered. We arrived right at 11am opening on a weekday so it was not yet busy and we could relax and chat without a scrambled, chaotic touristy scene. It's good to be a local sometimes! I've fished for grouper and it's not the easiest fish to catch. You need a boat, gas, time, expertise, experience and patience! It's a wonderful, perfect, fresh, local fish for eating though! Much respect to the local fisher-people! So, I ordered the grouper dinner, blackened. It had some nice mild seasoning on it but it's far from New Orleans style blackened. I think that style would likely be too spicy for some people. This preparation was safe. The rice was fine and the veggies were not overcooked. Parking at 11am was easy with valet or lot across the street options. Parking does fill up and reportedly, can be a significant challenge during peak hours. Life is good with lunch on a beach with a nice breeze!

4.5 Stars Rounded Up To 5…read more Caddy's on Madeira Beach has finally reopened. Yay! Yelp Elite All-Star Dave W suggested this restaurant for our regular lunch get together because he wanted something on the beach while the weather is nice. Good call Dave W! The weather was perfect for the outdoor balcony. They have a parking lot across the street ($5.50 per hour pay through the kiosk or an app). They also have valet parking @$5 an hour. Since we both arrived just before 11am opening time we had no trouble snagging one of the 20 or so parking spots at the Caddy's lot across the street, but when we came out the lot was full. The renovated location is up on stilts! I guess the back to-back hurricanes taught them a lesson. They also have a little beach type bar on the ground floor that they open whenever they have enough customers. They offer free beach chairs with shade by umbrella or tent, which is a pretty good deal, those can be expensive to rent. I started off with a signature specialty drink, the 'Loosey Goosey'. I chose the $15.99 Double shot drink, which has just the right kick for the beach. Drinks can be ordered with single, double, or triple shot, which is a brilliant idea. It arrived in a souvenir 'Mood' cup that turns pink with the cold contents. I mentioned that as a boy I would prefer blue, but our waitress, Lydianna, was not moved. Later I approached the bartender and asked for a blue cup, which she happily provided, so now I have one of each. I ordered the Surf Salmon ($13) And Steak Turf ($29.99). I told Lydianna that I like my steak so rare a good vet could save it, but ordered medium rare because you have to order meat that way in restaurants otherwise you get rare steak tartare. The steak came out perfect! I passed on the veggies because they included cooked carrots and doubled up on fries. This earned me a $1.77 substitution surcharge which I wouldn't have minded so much if Lydianna had mentioned it, But just like the pink cup, that didn't move her either. Other than those two little lapses she was a great waitress so it only cost Caddy's 1/2 star, and she still earned a good tip. Caddy's is on the beach, in a resort town, so I expected high prices. $80 for food & drink (Which includes large tip), & $11 for parking is about what I figured I'd pay. Good conversation with good friend Dave W: $Priceless!

I dislike writing poor reviews. But I want to be honest also…read more Service was great. We had a good location inside that was quiet(ish) and private. We (my family) wanted to be indoors and out of the heat and sun. As we are staying next door, this was an easy choice. But the food is "meh". It's ok, I'm sure it makes some folks happy. But for me, it "tastes like Sysco" as my brother would say. Soulless. I think what is really getting me is the light smell of mopped floors. It's not overt but noticeable. So in short, good service, good options for indoor vs outdoor seating, ok food. Vibe is detached. No one's grandma or mom is cooking here.

Plus, you can't beat the beach view and the music, so the 30 minutes passed before we knew it. The food was good, too! We kept it pretty healthy with the southwest chicken bowl and my husband got the ahi tuna bowl. Both were fresh, clean, and flavorful! We did start with the fish dip which wasn't our favorite, but the bowls made up for it! Definitely recommend this spot for a beach lunch!
