    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

    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.

    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.

    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!

While at the beach we started to get hungry so me and my princess decided to grab an early dinner after a day of long travel and the hotel receptionist said " go eat outside at the sandbar!" Brianna was our server and was amazing ! She made my little one a Shirley temple which she loved and kept the cold beers coming for me . We ordered shrimp cocktail for appetizers and wings then I decided on the grouper sandwich with a side salad and fries and mini cheeseburger sliders and fries for my little one. We enjoyed our view of the ocean and stayed after we ate and got to see dolphins swimming near by. We will definitely be having lunch here a few more times before we leave. Fish is fresh caught and so good I'm already thinking about dinner lol ! 10/10!

We had drinks to start; my 20 year old and 16 year old had soda. Wife had a Coroner and I have the spicy jalepeno margarita. All was great! We did not get apps, but there are lots of choices. For mains I had the Birria tacos with onion rings. One daughter had the same. Great taste, but if I had to do it over I would get a side of salad or coleslaw as it was a lot of fried on my plate. That said, finished it all! My other daughter had the chicken Cesar salad and loved it. Chicken was very tasty. My wife had the grouper basket. She thought it was tasty and hit the spot. Service was not bad but not great. Just not friendly. Overall a great stop. Be prepared you are outside and if the weather turns you are on the hook. Also, no reservations so first come first serve! Go. Here.

Perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Definitely ask for some extra lemon caper butter because you are going to want it. I had the PEPPER CRUSTED HANGER STEAk, TRUFFLED FRIES, BABY SPInach and a mustard SAUCE. The cook on the steak was medium rare and they nailed it. Great flavor even without the sauce. The truffle fries were about perfect -- crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. Deb had the CHICKEN ROULADE with WILD MUSHROOM RISOTTO, HARICOT VERTS, MUSTARD JUS. It had lots of good flavors, especially with the mushroom risotto, but the chicken itself was a little dry. I had the Decoy Red Blend and really liked it. My first glass wasn't right, but our server immediately took care of it and they opened a new bottle. That's good service. We somehow found room for both the tiramisu and key lime cheesecake. Both were delicious, although the almost-empty cheesecake plate probably tells you which one we liked best. Really good food, excellent service and a much better dinner than we expected from a resort restaurant. We'd definitely eat here again. Flip Flop Rating: 4.5/5 but Yelp doesn't allow .5 so will go 4 but it is really close.

Their Thanksgiving buffet is truly exceptional -- beautifully prepared dishes, delicious flavors, and so many options that everyone walks away happy (and very full!). It's the perfect place if you want a relaxing holiday without the stress of planning, cooking, or cleaning. You just show up, enjoy, and feel taken care of. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming -- it honestly feels like visiting your relatives for Thanksgiving, but with way better food. The staff is a huge part of what makes this place so special. Our server, Alejandro, was amazing as always -- attentive, kind, and genuinely warm. And Alexandra (I believe she's a manager) is absolutely wonderful. She makes you feel welcomed the moment you walk in, incredibly accommodating, and truly goes above and beyond to make the experience perfect. Rusty's Bistro is one of those rare places where the food, the vibe, and the people all come together. If you're looking for a stress-free, delicious, and memorable Thanksgiving, this buffet is the place to be. Highly recommend!
