New American Restaurants near Clearwater Beach, FL

“What a nice surprise to find this place. I was not staying at this Hilton, but was looking for a place to eat after a walk on the beach. What a great view and the bang-bang shrimp tacos were delicious. Add an aperol spritz to make it a perfect dining experience! Amazing end to a busy work week prior to getting on the plane and back to the chill of the northeast!“

“Great experience at the Salt Cracker Fish Camp. Our server Paola Z was very attentive, and her warm, welcoming smile made dinner very enjoyable. Oh yeah and did I mention that the food was outstanding. Don't forget to finish with some homemade Key Lime pie!“

“My husband surprised me with an anniversary dinner at SeaGuini, and it was an unforgettable experience. The food was absolutely amazing, with each dish perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor. The service was equally impressive—attentive, friendly, and made our evening feel extra special. Dessert was the highlight, simply phenomenal. To top it all off, the sunset views at night were breathtaking. Highly recommend SeaGuini for a memorable dining experience!“

“Great afternoon with the bar staff and the views are fantastic!“

“Excellent food. Excellent service . Excellent sunset. From the valet to the wait staff to the wine and food everything was top notch amazing“

“We checked into the hotel and figured we’d go to the rooftop for a quick lunch because we were starved and it was right at the hotel. We didn’t expect a whole lot but what we got was awesome!!! We met Eric who is fabulous and we pretty well ended up spending the day and night there, (it’s not typical for us to hang at a bar). After Eric left, we met Tyler and Brandon. They were tons of fun, too. The food was fabulous as well and we had a blast!!! We went back the next night and we will be back again tonight! This place is great!!!!“

“The food & service were phenomenal. We had a party of 5, sat outside with an ocean view and we all had a fantastic dinner. I’d highly recommend to anymore. We had a variety of dishes and we were all thrilled with our food plus dessert!“

“What a treat for our 9th first date anniversary! M39 did not disappoint. Awesome food, cool vibe and David's service is impeccable. Crusted oysters, Cuba pork are amazing! Paella...the best since Sevilla! Great wine and craft beer list. Coming back is a DEF!“

“Two enthusiastic thumbs up for Pete's Diner! They very kindly arranged to deliver a turkey dinner today to my brother (who lives in Dunedin and is recovering at home after surgery). Well, they delivered a delicious meal at 2:30pm and it was truly a HOMEMADE dinner. It was EXCEPTIONAL! From the turkey, to the gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, corn, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie with whipped cream--it was a homemade feast. We are deeply grateful to Pete's Diner for the extraordinary Thanksgiving dinner they prepared, and delivered!!!!“

“Been in this area since 2003, been going to the blue for years. Today was absolutely amazing. Thank you to our server Italia she went above and beyond expectations. We finished our lunch in the main dining room went out to the poolside and she continue to take care of our party like I said I’ve been going there for years. Today was exceptional. Hope everybody else can get this experience.“

“Love your food, clean cafe and servers are nice. But, you need another cashier. Change is necessary or you will lose customers.“

“My wife and I don't eat out that much. But, when we do, we prefer going to Savory. The people, the food, the prices are great. We were there recently and decided that we have never had a meal that we were not satisfied with nor were the servers there anything but good!“

“After a very long work day I placed an order for pickup. After picking up my food order and returning home I discovered this was not my order. Feeling very disappointed I called the resturant and spoke to the manager Michelle who was very apologetic. After explaining I had just come home from a very long workday, I was not.leaving again to pick up the correct order. Michelle not only prepared a fresh order but delivered it to me on her way home from finishing her shift at the resturant. I have to say, I am taken back from not only Michelle's empathy but her eagerness to help correct the oversight. In a day where mediocre customer service has been accepted as the norm, to experience excellent customer ( and delicious food) is a rarity. Thank you Michelle and Sonny's BBQ for restoring my faith in customer service but warming my heart that compassion and kindness still exist. This was my first Sonny's visit and highly impressed !“

“Great food and service. My wife is a very good cook and our food tasted like what my wife would make.“

“Sandwiches were so good! We had the hot chicken sandwich and the corned beef!! Definitely would go back !!“

“Be warned ⚠️ check your order before leaving. They don't check to make sure all your items are in the bag“

“Went here with some friends on a Friday night. They had live music and really nice dart boards 🎯 the place wasn't that big but it was the perfect size & very welcoming 😎 the main reason I wanted to leave a review was because of their food. I had their special which was a Prime rib 😮 with french fries on garlic toast, it was delicious, there fries are amazing. Everything that my friends had they also loved.. All of the staff were amazing very friendly. Even the cook came out and asked how we enjoyed our food. The prices are unbeatable. I had dinner and a drink for 20 bucks prior to going to the blind shark. We had gone to another bar and it cost me 30 bucks to have two drinks.🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤣😎..“

“I was here with a friend about a month ago and then again tonight with two of my friends and everything has been wonderful. Service food all top notch. if you try the French dip you will never try another French dip anywhere ever again. The filet with French onion pasta is just crazy good. if you are local and you have not eaten here you are missing out.“

“Always great food. For our friends that enjoy a cocktail they now have a full bar“

“Absolutely the best brunch we have had anywhere in years. I highly recommend this fantastic restaurant!“

“The best restaurant on earth. It can't be done better. You could maybe do it differently but not better.

Perfect on every single course, elements of service. Amazing personable engaging staff.

Stellar pastry, baking, desserts.

Tuna sashimi with caviar and Osaka vinaigrette. Mind bending great.
Absolute perfection.

It's hard to get to. I had to fly to luxembourg. But I wish I could go again.

Cristian Bau is a god among chefs. And his staff are spectacular.

Every single detail was flawless. I am grateful that I was able to have this experience. It has left a watermark so high, I fear I'll never experience it again.“

“great food great service.“

“Enjoyed dinner here on 4/22. Several gluten free options available; our food was great! Our server, Tobias, was outstanding; we really enjoyed him. Seems like the kind of guy a parent would love to have their daughter bring home.“

“WOW! We were today years old when we discovered this not-so-hidden gem! Kandi had the "Hula Bowl" and I had the "Maui Poke Bowl", and they were both super-fresh and delicious! We will be back!!!“

“My Memphis born husband stopped smoking pork and beef when we discovered Eli's. Whenever family visits, getting Eli's BBQ is a MUST. WE have enjoyed their pork, beef, beans,, coleslaw and sauce for many gatherings. Most recently we hosted a very large party. All the food was so good, people wanted to know where we got it! Ronni and the staff are good, caring people. The value ion the food, the service and the warmth of the owners and staff make it a "gotta come back again often" place. At this time there is road work being done in front, that makes it a bit difficult to get to, but it is worth the effort. It's right on the Dunedin Trail, so you can go by bike, or walk a bit further than you are used to on Douglas..“

“A favorite place! My husband and I have been going here for over 20 years! Now that the original and best Chef Roger is back after an absence for a few years, it is even more fantastic and every single dish is full of quality and flavor! It was not the same when he was away. I recommend you go and enjoy Roger's amazing menu. The servers are all too notch, especially Woody, Jason, and Brittany! You can watch people on the trail and parking is free! You will enjoy your visit! Roger is the best Chef in all of Tampa Bay! Thank you Roger for coming back!“

“A BIG thanks to Mary for her excellent management of the Shipwatch Tennis facility ! We’ve trained at several different tennis facilities, across Florida, over the past fifteen years, and Shipwatch is the best managed facility that we have experienced ! Best, Roy“

“Hands down the best subs , wraps, salads and Staff in Pinellas County . Tony and his crew , Isidro and Abraham are simply the greatest at creating delicious meals. And Jackie and her crew , Armando and Jenny give fantastic customer service. This place treats their customers like family and believes in excellence in everything they do. I highly recommended Seminole Subs on Missouri , you will not be disappointed.“

“Pesto chicken n shrimp wraps are delicious ?“

“Friendly service, great views and fresh fish, What’s not to like?“

“Emma is the most amazing, beautiful, most attentive, appreciative, helpful, loving server you could ever have. She goes above and beyond every time we’re here. She knows our name, makes us feel like we belong here. She is the absolute best. We love her!

Seth and Erin“

“Great food, and amazing staff i proposed last night and they were so kind with cookies, with ice cream on top and hearts drawn from chocolate and whipped cream. Thank you 😊“

“Yes love the food and excellent service great sports atmosphere the only set back is in the summer with the large door by the bar open the bar and restaurant is very uncomfortable“

“Was a 5 star now a 3. I've been coming here every Tuesday for 2 years and it's been an excellent experience. Since the change in servers/ personnel ,the service and experience has declined greatly. Our table waited 15 minutes for a server at 3:00. Katie (bartender) and Avery (server) are excellent and should work the bar area.“

“We really liked the tradition of the Palm Pavillion. We enjoyed our visits there. We decided to try things out now that they have changed to Crabby’s. The atmosphere was still great, the gift shop still had the cute apparel items, the staff was friendly and attentive. The thing that will make us come back frequently though was the food and menu selection. The menu isn’t huge but has a lot of different options. The food was so good. Everything was fresh & hot. Our group had pasta, shrimp, fish and beach nachos, and cocktails & everyone loved their food. I loved the Palm Pavillion and it made me sad to see a change but this is a great place. Looking forward to going back.“

“Excellent food and drinks even better was the amazing service and hospitality at the bar provided by bartender Bobby and team. It was our last night of vacation 2/18/26 and we had a wonderful evening and dining experience! Thank you!“
