Incredibly beautiful view of the ocean, birds, and dolphins. Excellent service. Delicious drinks. Live music had a Jamaican club feel and I was there for it! I loved the sand at my feet in part of the dining area. Overall, comfortable beach vibe. I ordered the blackened fish tacos, and I wasn't a huge fan of them. They seemed to lack flavor and were a bit cold. I did have some fries that were crispy and flavorful. One of my friends ordered the short rib tacos and I would have preferred an order of those. I'd definitely go back here! read more

Did a lot of restaurant research, and enjoyed many different places while in the wonderful Clearwater Beach Florida. So that being said despite its great reviews here, it is still underrated. This view, and atmosphere at the Sandbar was unbeatable in the area, on top of that I think we ate our best meals here too. It was never too crowded and just perfect, crazy to me it wasn't the hardest spot to get into in Clearwater. read more

We are staying at Opal Sands so this on property restaurant was very convenient. Today I order the fish tacos. You get three good sized tacos made with locally sourced fish (today was grouper..) these are a top ten for me. I get fish tacos often and have many to compare to... these are very good!! read more

Burgers. Yum. Sersiously, SUCH good burgers. Like, wow. I know you don't typically go to a tropical place with lots of fish and order burgers, but we did, and we are so glad we did. The food was great, and the views were just as great. It would be cool to eat there at sunset! Service was actually pretty poor. Our waitress was MIA, and when she was serving at a table next to us, we tried to wave her down to ask for a water refill, but she didn't even look our way. It took us 3 tries before we finally got her attention. Her inattentiveness brought this 5 star review down to 4 stars. If you're looking for a fantastic burger, try Sandbar! You won't be disappointed. read more

I was here yesterday with 3 friends! I enjoyed the island quesadillas and buffalo chicken wrap with chips (I was very hungry) my meals were excellent however my friends had the fish tacos and said they were fishy (the fish was mahi) and their coleslaw was a bit sour one of my friends did not finish their meal at all. I shared my quesadillas with the other friend and we all enjoyed them! The view was wonderful and our server was very friendly! My girlfriend left her purse here on accident and they retrieved it and held it there for her! Very honest! 5 stars for my meals, and their honesty! We also saw dolphins while we sat by the water here! Very nice spot read more

The view from this restaurant was awesome and the sunset was nice. The style of the restaurant was tiki but because it's attached to a gorgeous, pricier hotel it's a nicer feeling restaurant. The prices weren't bad especially for the location and view. The food was average; we ordered a grouper sandwich and a burger. The filet on the grouper sandwich was small. The burger was cooked well and was good. The drinks looked really good and they had a decent amount of beer selection. There's also a corn hole board to hangout and play. read more

Located right off of Clearwater Bay, Sandbar is a cute outdoor restaurant that features not only food and drinks, but live music (on some nights). Not only does this place offer some spectacular views of the coast, but you may even get a chance to see some wildlife. (My aunt and me saw a pair of dolphins swimming during our lunch. Life moment made. ) While I did enjoy the ambiance and the service, the food was just okay. Also, it should be noted that you don't have to be a guest of Opals Resort to dine here. Take advantage of waterfront dining at a much lower price. read more

Really nice place with a great view. Six of us met here for a friend's birthday during COVID. Everyone was wearing masks, even outside. The view is, of course, fantastic! We each either had the fish tacos or the calamari. Several people had the lobster bisque. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food. Usually when you think 'beach bar', you think 'overpriced fried food', but the food was actually very good! My fish in my fish tacos was blackened. Parking is $10 if you get your ticket validated. To get to the Sandbar, you can either walk up the stairs from the parking lot or you can get there by walking through the lobby to the back of the hotel and then down the stairs. The service was awesome and everyone was very nice. I would definitely go back here again. read more

A little slice of vacay without the crowds! This is a hidden gem in the back of Opal Sands hotel with an amazing view and fresh, tasty bites and drinks. Seriously, it kind of feels like you're on a cruise! Definitely order the frozen piña colada because it's got a honey-ed rim dipped in toasted coconut (wow!). Also, if you're not feeling like dinner, they have a ton of cute couches and rocking chairs in which to chill. Getting There: It was a little hard to find but finally after going through the hotel, up to the lobby, outside and down a few flights (apparently there is a side entrance but not sure if that's only for hotel guests) we finally arrived. There are pretty much zero signs from what we could tell. The Food: I ordered a fried grouper sandwich which was big and on top of an amazing (brioche?) bun. My fiance loved the fish tacos but thought they could use some fresh cilantro. We both paid the upcharge (I hate when restaurants do this) for fries instead of chips. But, they WERE good fries! Overall, it's a little overpriced but you're also paying for the vibes and the view, which can't be beat. I have to mention: At first, this place kind of rubbed me the wrong way. We were told to "sit anywhere" and after finding the perfect seat with a view, we were told we had to move because "two people were not allowed to sit at a six top." That would've been nice to know earlier! Luckily, before our food arrived, the manager noticed another table open up and finally gave us the view we were hoping for! Thank you : ) Definitely won't be our last visit and we will be telling our friends and family to check out this out. read more

I was in the Tampa area for work and before flying out, had a evening free with no plans. I quick beachside dinner search lead me to an adventure over to Clearwater and Sandbar. Sandbar is part of the Opal Resort, but if you enter via the beach you will find the public entrance. There is a parking lot adjacent that is pay by the hour, but reasonable. They have an array of beach themed drinks & food. I got the Skinny Blueberry Lemonade and Pork Nachos and would definitely recommend! You can sit at the large bar, at a table for a sit down feel, or there are rocking chairs and side tables next to the edge/permitted fence where you can enjoy drinks and food and enjoy the view. I look forward to returning when I'm back in the area! read more

We checked into the Opal Sands Resort this afternoon and lo and behold my friend twisted her ankle getting off of the elevator. Well let me say the entire hotel has made accommodations for her. We had a lite meal at the Sandbar and were offered a very comfortable outdoor sofa seating area to watch the sunset while she kept her foot propped up. Alana the bartender was extremely attentive and gave us great menu suggestions. We had the roasted Brussels sprouts and the Rustica Pizza and both were delicious, not your typical tiki bar fried fare. As we had a few drinks and watched the sunset Alana brought her over a bag of ice and called for hotel services which offered my friend either a wheelchair or a scooter so she could get around the property pain free. As a business traveler that logs 100 plus nights a year in hotels, I am extremely impressed with the staff and level of service that has gone above and beyond to ensure that we had a safe and comfort evening as their guests. read more

Service was pretty good, friendly and nice. We started with oysters, and those were great. We also had some guacamole that was pretty good. Tuna tartare was amazing.

The views were beautiful, the vibe was fun and lively, and it's definitely a great place for photos. The food and cocktails were absolutely amazing. I love a good espresso martini and they did not disappoint. The oysters were fresh and delicious, and the Florida grouper sandwich tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. You can tell the ingredients are high quality. For dessert, we had the flourless chocolate cake and the caramel custard flan. Both were beautifully plated and tasted incredible... so good that you really don't want to stop at just one bite. Between the great food, amazing desserts, gorgeous views, and attentive service, Ocean Seven really delivered. It's a perfect spot for brunch, celebrations, girls' outings, or special occasions. Definitely a place I'd come back to for the vibes alone.

We did not have any food as we only stopped up for cocktails on our way to dinner. Bartenders were friendly if not a bit harried as there was a private party going on half of the facilities. But they waited on us and returned with our drink orders promptly. There was no music, so the ambience was that of elegance and not a party. Definitely a great location to start and/or end your evening.

You can sit at the bar or the chairs and umbrellas immediately around it - even if you are NOT staying at the Hilton. Rum runners! This is the best rum runner I've had in the US. The Bahamas makes the best rum punches I've ever had, and this tiki's rum runner tasted almost identical. It felt like the Caribbean again. The mojito with fresh mint was super refreshing as well. Multiple flavors available too. The drinks were made strongly. I did not just taste the strength, but I sat there for several hours watching them make drinks - strong pours! The bartenders are constantly moving and looking around to refill drinks; top notch service. The snack menu is legit too. The queso nachos were good and perfect for two of us. It may be tough to find a spot at the bar, but you can walk up and order from any area as well. A MUST visit when walking around the beach!

The outdoor bar was the perfect spot to unwind. They also serve food, but I only came for the cocktails. I ordered a lemon drop with Chambord, and let me tell you--the bartender absolutely nailed it! The drink was delicious, and his customer service was even better. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure everyone at the bar was taken care of, even when it got busy. The atmosphere was great, too. The cool breeze made it comfortable despite the summer evening heat, creating the perfect setting to sit back and enjoy a drink. I give the bartender a 20 out of 10! If you're looking for great cocktails, excellent service, and a relaxing outdoor vibe, Kokomos Bar & Grille is definitely worth a visit.

Their menu had some decent options and they were willing to work with us to provide lower carb options. Three stand out servers to mention: Cass & Jason and Kimi. These three were rockstars and made our stay so good! They earned the triple digit tips and were much appreciated! Conversely, and the reason I dropped a star, was Omar. He was a terrible server that was more interested in picking up on the young ladies around the pool than doing his job as a server. If you find yourself in his section consider moving or just go to the bar and get your own food and drinks. He is the sorriest excuse for a server on the planet. He completely ignored my wife and I. We had to come to him to order, not the other way around. At first the bar told us we had to order from him, but I pressed the issue and Brandon let me open a new tab with them. Less convenient, but way better service than Omar. A stand out moment was on Thursday, when they ran out of Deep Eddy Lemon. Cass ensured there was a new bottle the following morning. Likewise on Saturday, they ran out of Deep Eddy Lemon once again. Jason asked if there was any other vodka that would work. I said something to the effect of "no thanks.... I'll just pass." I think he moved mountains to locate another bottle on premises keeping the vacation and vibes flowing. Much appreciation Cass & Jason! Kimi didn't move mountains for us, but she was regularly there for us. On time, on target.
