I’d come back here but just for the fries. The grilled mahi did not taste fresh. The water view was nice but the fans did nothing to help with the Florida heat.

Found this spot while vacationing in Clearwater Beach and I couldn’t be happier with our experience. We arrived on a Tuesday night for dinner around 6:35pm and had about a 30 minute wait. That’s how you know the food has to be good-if you have to wait for a table on a Tuesday. Our waiter Jason was fabulous and gave excellent suggestions on the menu options. The Firecracker Shrimp appetizer was delicious and so was the lobster bisque. My husband had the Fisherman’s Platter and I chose the Bacon Wrapped Scallops for dinner. Everything was cooked to perfection. Even the chicken tenders we ordered for my son were fresh and juicy. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a local seafood joint for dinner. It far exceeded our expectations.

Under new ownership. As a local, I have frequented this restaurant at least bimonthly for the past 7 years, however, my latest visits under its new ownership have been very disappointing. It took 20 minutes to get service. When I did order, I asked for bread & was told it would be 3 minutes. I waited 30 minutes & still no bread . I started eating my peel & eat shrimp, which were great, but not served with crackers or any type of bread, & asked for crackers or bread again. Still no response. After spending an hour in the restaurant, I finally decided to box up my shrimp & take them home . I mentioned the fact that I never received any crackers or bread with the shrimp & the hostess said that she would get me some to go. I waited 20 minutes & she didn’t deliver, stating “I told them that you’re waiting for it” . I finally left after spending an hour and a half with no results. It’s sad to see this local restaurant going downhill.

Very good food from apps to entrees. They have bourbon flights which is pretty unique. The spicy shrimp and blackened steak were excellent. The deck tables are fully enclosed and heated.
