We came to Clear Sky Café on our very first night staying at Sandpearl Resort, and we loved it so…read moremuch that we've been back every single day since! We were told they were nominated for Best Breakfast, and I can confidently say it is **100% well deserved**. I absolutely love everything about this place--from the beautiful decor and friendly atmosphere to the incredible staff, huge selection of food, and, most importantly, the quality of everything we've ordered. Everything is made to order and absolutely delicious. From breakfast to lunch to dinner, every meal has been excellent! We were especially lucky to have been taken care of by some truly wonderful people. Travis served us on our first night and immediately made us feel comfortable and right at home. He was incredibly friendly and gave us some fantastic food recommendations. Sarah was also amazing and went above and beyond to make sure everything was exactly to our liking. Isabel was another wonderful server who made our experience even more enjoyable. **Briana and Dave were also fantastic and provided such great service, making each visit even more enjoyable.** And we can't forget Robert over at the Bloody Mary bar! He made my husband and me some of the most delicious Bloody Marys, piled HIGH with incredible bites like grilled cheese, fried chicken, and bacon. They were almost a meal in themselves! As far as must-tries go, you **have to** try the Cinnamon Bun French Toast, any of their omelets, the burgers, the Blackened Grilled Chicken Bacon Swiss & Ranch sandwich, the Cuban, the Southwest Egg Rolls, and of course, their amazing French fries. If you're staying at Sandpearl or anywhere in the area, **do yourself a favor and stop at Clear Sky Café.** The food, service, atmosphere, and people make this place truly special. We're already looking forward to coming back!

Great service. Based on the amount of people siting at tables, the patio, and the bar, we knew it was well loved and it is definitely deserving of the crowd. We got mimosas which were a great size for the cost. For breakfast, we had the square deal meal and the chicken and waffles. Both were fantastic. Flavorful with just the right amount of food. Highly recommend.

We had the nicest table right on the patio overlooking the beach and it was fantastic. Our server was pleasant when she was around, but it seemed like she went missing for long periods of time and always right when we seemed to need something. Service was generally slow and the restaurant wasn't super busy when we were there. Food was mediocre at best. We started with the bulgogi beef skewers and the ahi tuna apps. The skewers were sort of dry and chewy...and I don't know that they tasted like bolgogi. The tuna tartar app tasted heavily of lime and nothing else and the cuts on the tuna were pretty messy and made it a bit difficult to eat. The grouper entree was okay, but the piece of fish I got looked like a baseball in that it was thick and sort of round? It made it just kind of tough and overcooked on the outside and a little undercooked on the inside. The chicken fried rice was good, but nothing to write home about.

It was crazy hot so we couldn't sit on the patio but at sunset it was still a stunning view. Kalby was an absolute pleasure to be serviced by. She was attentive and used her talents to help recommend entrees from the menu. Our starter was the bulgogi skewers which were perfectly balanced with sweet and Korean spice. The edamame was our least favorite dish. I did discuss this with kalby and the manager. The idea was there but poor execution. The gochujang sea salt...the gochujang just wasn't there and once you ate that top layer all you got was oily edamame, so much oil...you wouldn't need chapstick for the rest of the day. Then wins though came from the cocktails. Ours were delicious and my old fashion was spot on. Also in the win was the sunset sushi, beautiful and fantastic, along with Korean crispy chicken. The peanut sauce was the perfect balance to that meal. Now...what we also loved that should be permanently on the menu was the mochi. We had 4 of them and they were wonderful! Everyone should be able to experience these. But ocean hai on your list as a must try place for sure.

This place is a favorite of mine for breakfast/brunch. My special favorites are the eggs benedict (only available on the weekends), corned beef hash and if you are lucky enough to go there on a day they have made homemade pumpkin, gingerbread, cranberry orange ( and a few more) breads - try the French toast they make out of those breads. Although I love it just warmed up with a little butter. The coffee is the best of any place in Clearwater, the place is friendly, with great food and fair prices. It can get crowded at times, but it's well worth the wait. read more

I almost hate to leave a review for this restaurant, because I'm afraid that it's only going to get busier than it already is, and I won't have a place to sit when I show up. Tory's Café on Highland Avenue is one of my favorite local restaurants. The owners are friendly, and the place is always bustling when I am there. They play loud music, and overall the volume in the place is high. The food is excellent, and reasonably priced in my humble opinion. read more
