    Well done burger--I order Medium Greasy burnt chips

    I was so disappointed as I have eaten here prior to Hurricane Helene and the food was Chef's kiss--unfortunately, although there has been restaurant restoration the food preparation has not been restored. I received the e 1/2 pound Wagu burger well done--I ordered it Medium and the chips were greasy and overcooked as well. Looked like they had been sitting in the drip bin for quite some time. My order was to-go so inspection was not done until I arrived home ( I trusted and did not verify) I won't worry about doing this again Tate Island Grill--my money will go elsewhere. Only one star because zero is not allowed

    Perfect place to enjoy lunch on the beach. Good drinks, food, service, and scenery of the Gulf. Also fun to people watch!

    The salmon and grouper were delicious. Veggies were steamed to perfection. The view of the beach was really nice and we were lucky to go on a day when the weather was gorgeous. Service was decent and friendly. FYI, you can valet park at the hotel even if you don't stay there if you are eating at the restaurant or going to the spa (0-3 hours is free) and the restaurant will validate your parking to get $5 off($25/day) if you stay all day. We didn't know this initially so we had already paid for all day parking elsewhere but my parents moved their vehicle to the valet and it saved them a lot of money on parking.

    Love this spot right on the beach. The impossible burger was delicious and so are the silver margaritas. Came back twice during our vacation! Great ambiance and service.

    Hummus & Virgin Pina Colada
    Han P.

    Loveeeee it here. I definitely come here pretty often. The hummus is my favorite anywhere, such a peaceful place to eat on the beach. The servers are also always kind and helpful.

    I was on vacation and checked out Tate's. Pros - The service is excellent. Our waiter was constantly checking in to make sure we had drinks and informed of when food was coming etc - The views are beautiful. As you can see in my picture, I would highly recommend checking this place out as the sun went down. - Food was solid, more bar foodie than one would hope for because it is pricey (expected though for touristy location) - Drinks were delicious. Cons - getting in the place was a hassle. don't walk in from the beachside unless you know exactly where to go because it was rough. Go through the front of you can.

    Caribbean Grouper Sandwich
    Nicolas L.

    My wife and I visited Tate Island Grill for a coinvent dinner while staying at the Sandpearl Resort. I had the Caribbean Grouper Sandwich. A soft bun was filled with meaty but slightly dry grouper (I could not taste any Jerk seasoning), sweet overly syrupy Mango-Pineapple Chutney and plantain chips. Overall, very average food, only worth visiting if you are staying at the Sandpearl for a quick and convenient meal.

    Chocolate Cake! Not made in house. It was good enough for a sweet tooth fix, lol
    Melinda S.

    I typically do not eat at hotel restaurants, lol! We ordered the Grilled Grouper Cesar Salad. Quesadillas. Chocolate Cake. Key Lime pie. The salad was excellent! Fresh grilled grouper on top of a Cesar salad (+dressing was delicious). The chicken quesadillas were a generous portion, traditional style, served with sour cream only. We ordered the nachos so we could get the guacamole to eat with it. ALL of it was very good, we would definitely eat there again. The desserts were showy but nothing extra. They are not made in house so they definitely tasted commercial. They were good enough to fix a sweet tooth. We definitely enjoyed the chocolate cake more than the key lime. Cute outdoor seating area, a sophisticated beachy vibe probably because it is part of the SandPearl Resort. Lovely lunch, lovely location, definitely worth going back.

    Tarpon chicken wrap

    Just expanded their menu and there are some great choices. Everything is fresh and the chips have a super flavorful seasoning. A little overpriced but no complaints because service, quality, and vibe are all up to standards.

    Fresh Berry, Fruit, & Yogurt bowl, Tates Island Grill, SandPearl Beach Resort, Clearwater Beach
    Brian M.

    Tate Island Waterfront Grill is located right on the beach at the SandPearl Beach Resort in Clearwater Beach and offers Seafood, Wraps, Salads, Sandwiches, Frozen Cocktails, Beer, Margaritas, Mojitos, Wines by the Glass, and kids meals with an amazing view of the beach, and the resort's pool. You can enjoy your drinks or meal in a padded lounge chair poolside, at the restaurants outdoor patio, or inside the restaurant with air conditioning which is a nice break on a hot day. Valet Parking is $23 at the SandPearl Resort for 3 hours but you get $10 off with validation from dining at Tates Island Grill or you can park at the garage across the street for $3 per hour. The fruit plate appetizer came with a vanilla yogurt and a surprisingly large amount of seasonal fruit including Blueberries, honeydew melon, cantaloupe and pineapple! The pineapple and honeydew melon were both sweet but the cantaloupe was not. 8/10 The grilled chicken Quesadillas came packed with tons of cheddar jack cheese and sides of salsa and sour cream but was missing guacamole and black beans or any other side. Do not order this if you're hungry as it is not that filling. 7/10 The Causeway Caesar salad topped with blackened Ora king salmon came with a good amount of veggies and a generous cut of salmon with it. The blackening season had a nice flavor! 9/10 The Grouper Sandwich came with a generous portion of blackened grouper, lettuce, tomato, tater sauce, and a side of chips for no up-charge. 9/10 The Pina Colada Cocktail came frozen with bacardi black rum, cream of coconut, and pineapple juice and was the real star of the day! 10/10 The Blue Pearl Cocktail is Tate Island Grill's signature cocktail and came frozen with bacardi black rum, creme De banana, coconut, and blue curacao swirl. It's a cool looking drink but I'd have to recommend the flavor of the Pina Colada over this drink. The curacao didn't mix the best with the coconut. 8/10 It took quite awhile to get our drink, get our food, and close out our bill. It was a bit longer than usual but it was busy and everyone is on island time at the beach. If you're in the Clearwater Beach area, not in a hurry, and looking for some great seafood and nice views of the beach and susnet, I highly recommend checking out Tates Island Grill, although it is a bit more expensive than other options on the beach but it has more of an upscale feel!

    Fantastic casual dining restaurant with a fine dining feel. I had no idea this place was considered…read morecasual dining until the table next to us asked for a manager who explained it as part of their response to a complaint. No complaints here though! What makes this place unique? They offered Caymus Cabernet BY THE GLASS, which I have not found before, and I frequent higher end restaurants often. It was fun to have a high-end glass of wine without spending hundreds on a bottle. It's also nice if you want to try other drinks. The espresso martini (get it with Baileys added for a smoother taste!) is huge and delicious. Brussel sprouts appetizer and feta whip appetizer were both tasty and ample for two people. The spicy fish tacos are Mahi Mahi and a MUST if you like Mahi. I will only eat Mahi if close to the ocean, and it was great. No fishy taste, nice and tender. The brownie dessert that was off-menu was perfect for a sweet bite. So many nice restaurants get too crazy with their specialty desserts, and sometimes you just want a simple yet decadent treat like a brownie! Make a reservation on their website and relax. It's an easy Uber ride if staying locally as well.

Preston was so fantastic, immediately welcoming me, offering a beverage, and asking if I wanted some food. My absolute favorite thing about Drift is that they serve Caymus by the glass! I ordered a glass right away, followed by the mushroom flatbread (to which I added pepperoni--delicious!). I was able to enjoy my wine and a fresh slice of flatbread, and took the rest home, all before they closed. I was so thankful and impressed with the wonderful customer service and for accommodating me as their very last customer. Thank you, Drift--I cannot wait to come back the next time I'm in Clearwater!

The brussel sprouts appetizer is HUGE. It was double the size I have received at other places, so took some back to the hotel for leftovers. They also came with a tasty dipping sauce that was unique as well. The Caesar salad was neutral; no strong flavor yet not distasteful. No anchovies taste either. I could take it or leave it. The filet steak was tender served over some mashed potatoes and thick asparagus wrapped in salty, yummy bacon. The smoky old fashioned and expresso martini (with Baileys added extra!) drinks were tasty. Make a reservation online and Uber/Lyft if you are close as it's easy in and out!

We ended up splitting the seafood pasta dish, and it was more than either of us could eat, even after splitting it. Service was good for dinner. Martini was good, but the blue cheese stuffed olives were prepackaged from a jar. Breakfast blew us away. Every dish we had was great. I don't think you can go wrong. Breakfast pizza was surprisingly great and enough for two people to split. Service at breakfast was fantastic. The coffee was always flowing and the servers were always smiling. The atmosphere and ambience are OK. I don't love the vibe, as it felt like a dated dining room experience. But Food was still great. If you are staying at the Opal Sands, the entire complex has amazing food and you don't even have to leave. Huge benefit to staying there.
