Bob Heilman's Beachcomber

I have eaten here before and couldn’t wait to come back. Unfortunately things have changed. The physical set up is still attractive, the server was pleasant. However the reason I was so looking forward to is no longer there. It was a classic dining experience with an appetizer type relish feature. The menu has been limited to what it once was, missing some classics like veal Marsala. I had the jumbo lobster tails. Their definition of jumbo and mine are quite different. My wife and son in law had the fried chicken which they enjoyed and came with two sides. My lobster and my daughter entree only came with one. Didn’t quite understand that. The food was good, but my expectations were not met, therefore I don’t need to rush back here unfortunately.

Five couples and two singles walked into a restaurant after a long day of conferences and… Shared a lot of jokes, drinks, delicious food (I had the snapper and green beans), and great convo and recommendations from our servers. Also a hat tip (& real tip) to the pianist!

Top priced steak house/ seafood restaurant that previously was good has gone down hill, and it shows in bad staff attitude, they could not care less. Friday nights less than 30 percent full, food very average but still high prices.

Food was delicious and service was great. There was love piano music as well. The ambiance was relaxing and enjoyable.

Worth the money! Yes, it's pricey but it's the only real and delicious food we've been able to find in Clearwater. Delicious salad, steak, chicken, and drinks! Who knew finding decent food would be so hard in this vacation town?

Sherry shrimp were not fresh caught shrimp! They were tough and we did not finish them.
New York strip had zero flavor! We had to put salt and pepper on it so we could eat it. Very disappointing for the area and atmosphere.
Save your money! McDonald’s steak is 1000x better!

Came here for a young friend's 21st birthday. The wait staff was fantastic very attentive and friendly. The salds were good but lacked dressing, we had to requested more. My son ordered the escargot for an appetizer. There was an over abundance of cheese an onions and the snells themselves were rather small. My wife had surf and turf and when they say petite filet they mean it. The portion size of that piece of meat was small. She said the lobster on the cruise ship we just got off was much better than that she was served. To me that is pathetic, that lobster should have been perfectly. How can cruise ship serving over 1000 lobsters at a meal do it better than a restaurant serving maybe 200 lobsters?
My son and I both had New York strip, it was cooked perfectly but had no flavor at all, it reqired a good amountof salt and pepper to give it some flavor. Both our cuts of meat had quite a bit of fat and gristle. The mash potatoes needed help they were dry and and needed an ample amount of salt and pepper as did the steak. The birthday girl was offered a complimentary desert for her birthday but nobody else was offered the choice to purchase one. For the price of dinner and the 20 percent gratuity I could go to any chain steak house restaurant multiple times and have more flavorful food and better cuts of meat. In my opinion food quality was poor and overpriced. I will not recommend this establishment to friends or family visiting the area...

It was our first time eating there. I ordered the Gulf shrimp entree which is $52. It ended up having the same amount of shrimp as the $19 sherry shrimp appetizer. I could've just ordered the appetizer and then added a $12 side and it would've been the same amount of food. And the shrimp tasted like it was previously frozen and was overcooked. I just didn't see the value in the price we paid for dinner compared to the quality and quantity of food. Someone else at my table ordered filet and lobster and the lobster that originally came out on his plate was so overcooked and small that he had to ask for a new one. The service was great. But the food should've been way better for the money and location.

Food wasn’t great at all. None of the steaks had any flavor nor cooked right. Onion rings were bland. Pork chop isn’t good but not amazing. Salads were fresh and drinks were cold but that’s about it. Service was great though just a little slow. We won’t be back. Party of 8 and not one empty plate was left

We went for dinner to celebrate our Anniversary and had a very delightful experience. The service is outstanding and also is the food. We ordered the escargots and the scallops for appetizers, they were delicious, especially the escargots. As a main dish we ordered the Lobster tails, which were also so savory, they bring it with melted butter but it doesn’t need it, they came accompanied by fresh vegetables that were so tender. To finish we had the Key Lime Pie which was very good as everything else. The ambience was so nice, with a pianist playing so delicate. I highly recommend this place.

Can't beat the ambiance here! It's just the perfect upscale beachy vibe. My husband, daughter and I dined here on a weekday evening this summer. The highlight, besides the ambiance, was the piano player. He was great! The service was friendly and efficient. The food was overall good, and a nice break from the typical beach restaurant fare. I loved the Beachcomber Seafood Combo, it was a nice mix of different fish and shellfish. My husband's pork chop was just OK, a little undercooked. (The server asked how he wanted it cooked, he said medium, maybe a mistake.) My daughter's chicken tenders from the kid's menu were average, didn't seem like they were made fresh. The cocktails were disappointing--heavy on the mixer, light on alcohol, ended up tasting more like fruit juice. Wine is the way to go here--great list by the glass and bottles. We'd be happy to dine here again for a special occasion!

We found it to be overpriced and dated. The food was very good, though.

Sheri - your restaurant is 10/10 but the menu level is 1/10 - printed paper menu at a top CLW restaurant seems low grade - go back to real menus with real restaurant grade feel over a $.01 penny printed menu - food is amazing 🤩
