This place is actually great. Ate there for the first time last night. Inside the restaurant is really nice. They dont use any seed oils and cook fried items in tallow. The service was attentive and friendly. We had a wedge salad as well as the salmon bites and my son had a burger and ahi tuna. Everyone liked their food. read more

Cute charming vibe inside, decorated beautifully. Our server was very kind and attentive. we ordered some drinks that were great, they have a selection of mocktails as well. The appetizers were also decent. The main bowls and the veggie burger was unfortunately not seasoned very well and dry. I think there are more known for their burgers and possibly other entrées. There's plenty of parking near the area as well. read more

Been a minute since I last posted.... " Life Happening " anyway went to the District Bistro on Friday 8/14/26. It was my 1st time there and it won't be the last. Classic American food, we started with an old fashioned/ chocolate espresso martini... soo good. We both ordered the hamburgers classic / French onion . Cooked to perfection ( rare). It came with exceptionally awesome fries ( they say cooked in tallow) they were soo good... hot & fresh. Well we ate it all, unfortunately no room for dessert:-(. Price is on par with similar restaurants.This establishment is small, kinda quaint and the staff is very personable. I think ( not sure) it's locally owned/ operated. Only down side is maybe the parking. We ended up parking around the corner ( walk did us good).Definitely recommend this place. read more

My wife and I went Saturday night 8/29/26. Best little secret in Downtown Clearwater. Great service, for example, we ask for bread which not all restaurants sever anymore but Kevin, the owner showed up at our table with 2 pieces of toasted bread just for us. Appetizer chicken cordon bleu, we both had fish entrees, I had Snapper and my wife had Salmon with a wedge salad. I had the banana chocolate cake with and Expresso, excellent food. Above and beyond service. Not a large venue but the vibe was smooth. The owner Kevin knows what he's doing, so go appreciate it. read more

Great little place .. went with friends and had the smash burger... it was excellent .. don't hesitate go

Wow- the food was so fresh and well prepared. The service was fantastic, although I did go on an off time. I didn't realize it was a speakeasy and unfortunately did not have a cocktail, but will return in the future. The ambiance is great inside and out for two different experiences. read more

The food, service and atmosphere were amazing!! Wife and I loved this place and how fresh and clean all the food tasted!

Great staff great service great cocktails! They do have a speakeasy entrance at the back as well!

Just wanted to add to my previous review. Our waiter was exceptional. Very very personable.

Great ambiance. We enjoyed the outdoor seating on a Saturday night. It was busy and there was live music on the entire block. The host set us at a nice table with grass next to it for the pup. We enjoyed glasses of prosecco, appetizers (like shishito peppers), and entrees (filet, fish, cheesesteak, and burger) for all. The vibe was cool and lots of foot traffic now that Cleveland street is closed to cars and it's all seating for new restaurants. We were sat without a reservation with no wait even on a super busy night celebrating the giant duck downtown. Dog friendly! Will definitely be back! read more

The day we went we did not have any food to us; however, those around does speak very highly of their meals. The servers /bartenders were very nice. Quick service and excellent drinks! This place is fairly new and more upcoming events are planned as well as new items coming to the menu. It is a relaxed place to be and with a calm vibe. This one is a place we will be going back to to have their food. My friends at evening had stated they had eaten there and had great experiences. This evening we had nice cold drinks poured for us and they were excellent in every way. The Bistro is clean, average loudness, and great to gather with friends. There is parking in nearby lots and garages. Stop by and check this place out! It will be worth the time & experience! read more

Have a great place for burger not only for the burgers awesome the menu is really awesome

We had a chance to eat at district bistro this weekend. Our server was Mary and she was amazing. She answered all of our questions and knew the menu by heart. The food was phenomenal, I love me a good burger and they have great upscale burgers and their fries are tallow fries which are the best!! read more

Food is good. Drinks are delicious. Our waiter Steve was great. The place is very cute. Good ambiance.

Food was excellent. The Ahi tuna app was delicious. I had the hand held short rib which was cooked very nicely and seasoned to perfection. My mom had the shrimp bowl and my dad had the bistro burger. Everyone was happy with their meals. The service was great. Ambience was very nice and they had both ample indoor and outdoor seating. We were there for their happy hour - the drinks and food specials were great. This was our first time and we will be back again read more

What's not to love? Beef Tallow Crispy Fries, amazing burger, and the chicken fiesta bowl comes with arugula and red cabbage and a lot of really fresh tasting ingredient. No seed oils, good service, nice atmosphere. PS... Ask for aioli sauce... I put their aioli sauce on EVERYTHING. read more

The staff were wonderful and very pleasant. Service was quick and efficient. But we ventured here specifically for their steaks and when we arrived we sat down, ordered an app and drinks and pondered over the menu, both deciding on a NY and KC strip steak only to be told they didn't have any steaks other than the filet. How do you run out of steaks? Then how to you not mention that before you even sit us? We would have eaten elsewhere had we known that but by then it was too late to get a reservation anywhere else. Disappointed. read more

Great Food. Haley is amazing. Atmosphere is really inviting. Across from Capitol downtown Clearwater on Cleveland

First time here for late lunch. Started with appetizers, steak bites, well seasoned and cooked perfectly. Great beefy flavor. Fried shishito pepper with garlic aoile brought a good balance to the steak. Followed with a French onion burger and beef tallow fries. Burger cooked on point with great flavors. Kathy at the bar serving was super friendly and obviously great at mixing their retro cocktail menu. Speakeasy vibes and music on Wednesday. Definitely a recommendation. read more

Very attentive and friendly staff. Jalapeño burger was awesome. Can't wait to return.

Love this new bistro in downtown Clearwater! Charming ambience and excellent service provided by Mary, a real professional who offered good suggestions. We started with a couple of appetizers from the happy hour menu (3-6, M-F) and a dirty martini. Also ordered the steak sandwich. Everything was delicious. So good to know they don't use ANY SEED OILs. The beef tallow fries are excellent. Nice draft beer selection along with wines by the glass. Good looking dessert menu and after dinner coffee or drinks. Nice date night spot. Can't wait to return soon. read more

The food was amazing. I had salmon and husband had snapper. The sauce was good and the fish was cooked just right. We sat at the bar, the bartender was friendly and drinks made well. I'll definitely go back. read more

I thought The burgers were very good as were the appetizers of salmon bite and Mac and cheese balls. Service however left a lot to be desired. Asked for water refill 3 times (never came), asked for a martini that came 15 minutes after the order and at end of meal, and burger orders mixed up. Waiter also insisted on calling me "bro" Mind you, place was less than half full. Won't go back again read more

Wow -- I genuinely don't know where to begin. We were told upfront the table had a strict 1.5-hour turnover. Fair enough -- except it took 12 minutes for our waiter to even acknowledge us. Once we finally ordered, cold fries showed up in just 3 minutes... followed by another 17-minute wait for drinks. So nearly half an hour in, we had bad fries and no drinks. Not exactly setting the tone. Then things went from slow to outright unacceptable. Our waiter spilled ketchup in a way that splattered across multiple tables -- including the neighboring table, covering their hair, clothing, and legs. It was a mess. And not a single manager or staff member stepped in to help. The affected guests had to clean themselves using their own Pellegrino. It was embarrassing to watch and even worse that no one from the restaurant took responsibility. And somehow, THE LOW POINT CAME AFTER THAT. At the end of our visit, a female "owner" came out -- wine glass in hand -- and aggressively confronted the very table that had been covered in ketchup, criticizing them for complaining. It was surreal, unprofessional, and completely inappropriate. She even shook a pointed finger in the customer face! Again beyond embarrasing and we were on the sidelines. If this "owner" were an employee anywhere, this behavior would have ended their employment --- IMMEDIATELY. As for the overall experience: I would give the food, service, and management a zero if that were an option. If you're looking for bad food, poor service, and a front-row seat to dysfunctional management -- THIS IS THE PLACE read more

The interior is warm and cozy. Definitely a place to bring a date for cocktails and dinner. I had the chicken marsala with garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus. For a cocktail, I had a smoked old-fashioned. My dinner was delicious and the cocktail was well balanced. I will definitely be going back. As a bonus, they had a saxophone player on a Thursday night. read more

First visit, full disclosure, I'm here bc they do not use seed oils!! With that said, had to try the fries made with beef tallow.. SO GOOD! The ambience in this place is a little NYC retro vibe. I was surprised how much bar seating was available! They are pretty new and I was there on Monday. There is a large selection of draft beers and wine by the glasss but I opted for the DIRTY, a kettle One Martini and I have to say it was better than the one I had at Ruth's Chris over the weekend. The shishito pepper appetizer was great and a huge bowl!! I requested horseradish with my steak sandwich.. no problem. Kheoke coffee on the menu finally!!!! How many times have I searched for that ona menu and it was great! I can't wait to go back and sample the expansive burger menu, or the short rib sandwich. If it's as good as the steak sandwich you can't go wrong! read more

Service was fine, chicken was poor quality and tasted like it was 3 days old and reheated. Such a disappointment. I was drawn to the "seed free" restaurant and will never go back. Owner didn't even seem that concerned. read more

Just won't go back. Food pedestrian; just ok. Other tables served and departed before we were served our meals. Waited well over an hour. I mean we ordered salads. Offered an appetizer on next visit. Sorry no. lol. Go to Clear Sky next door. read more

It was recommended to add the steak bites. Ordered them without the butter sauce but they came with it anyway. Croutons and fondue aren't really a good mix. The fondue was flavorless. The steak is flavorless even with the butter sauce and it didn't stick to the cheese. The curious margarita was good but not much to it. Would not recommend this place. read more

HIDDEN GEM!!! Delicious, fresh, AMAZING vibe! Completely Seed oil free restaurant. The smashburger was phenomenal and the fries were cooked in beef tallow, everything tasted so clean and delicious. Service was outstanding by Morgan and the owner Kevin stopped by to check on everything. This is a restaurant you just feel you want to be a regular at! Well done! read more

Driven by this place a bunch of times. Decided to give it a try. The wife and I tried a couple of burgers. They were very tasty and cooked to perfection. Our server Joni made our experience great. I'll definitely stop by again to try out some of their fancier dinners. read more

Joni was an attentive server. He checked on us numerous times. Food came out rather quickly. Presentation of food was excellent. The environment was loud! Definitely recommend! Ask for Joni! read more

Outstanding burgers and steaks! My favorite is the Jalapeno Smash Burger. They also have no seed oils, a host of gluten-free options and seem to be ahead of the curve with their delicious beef tallow fries. The wait staff is well-trained and friendly and the owners, Kevin and Summer, are very experienced operators with a true affinity for their guests--so you will definitely feel welcomed there. The atmosphere is chill but you can also catch a game on their 2 TVs (sound off). Highly recommend this place for high quality downtown Clearwater dining both indoor and out. read more
