New American Restaurants in Clearwater, FL

“Great place! J was awesome !“

“This restaurant is amazing. The food was soooo good. It’s like we found a hidden gem. The atmosphere is the coolest, like a relaxed fine dining experience looking over the Gulf. It’s on the 7th floor of the Hiatus, perfect night. These guys are the real deal!“

“🌟 5-Star Review for Carambola at the Hilton Clearwater Beach 🌟
“The only thing hotter than the Florida sun was the service at Carambola!”

Let me just say... if you’re staying at the Hilton Clearwater Beach and don’t stop into Carambola, you’re doing your entire vacation wrong. Seriously. Reevaluate your choices.

We rolled in hungry, mildly sunburned, and honestly questioning if we even liked each other after a long day at the beach. But within five minutes of sitting down, all our problems melted away like butter on a pancake (which they do have, by the way.. delicious ones).

Our waitress Taylor was an absolute gem. She had the energy of a triple-shot espresso and the charm of someone who’s clearly too good for this planet. Not only was she handling our table like a pro, but she was also training a new employee, Cynthia, who was also fantastic. Together they were like a buddy-cop movie, but instead of fighting crime, they were fighting off our hunger and thirst with relentless kindness and amazing recommendations.

Taylor was so on point, I honestly started wondering if she secretly owned the place. And Cynthia? If that was “in training,” then I can’t wait to come back when she’s fully powered up. She was sweet and very attentive.

The food? Slapped. Everything came out hot, fresh, and plated like it was about to walk onto the Food Network stage.

Long story short:
📍 Location: Beachfront perfection.
🍽️ Food: 10/10 would eat until I can’t move.
👩‍🍳 Service: Taylor and Cynthia are national treasures.
🎉 Vibe: Chill, breezy, with a side of “I’m never leaving.”

Go to Carambola. Ask for Taylor. Tell her the weirdly enthusiastic table said hi. 😄“

“This place is SOOOO good... Robert was amazing! 20/10 recommend! And that happy hour is 🔥! The dinner menu is crazy big and the breakfast menu is good as well. Will definitely go back! The hush puppies are insanely good! Great portion!“

“Athena was our server. She was excellent. The food was delicious.“

“The lamb bucatini was out of this world! And the brownie was soooo chocolate.“

“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.“

“Exellent place for drinks but food is ok. Service is great and view is on Clearwater beach. You can't beat that! Great place to hear a local band, have a drink and finger food. They added some unique things to the menu which helped but would love a better food option as it's another same restaurant on Clearwater Beach.“

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

“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!“

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

“Had the best time celebrating my wife’s birthday ! So much fun, great good, awesome crew and nice ship ! The sunset was spectacular !“

“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.“

“these little sliders are so good oh my gosh the hamburger meat is so good and the cheese just melts right into it. The drive-thru is called sliding through. we tried to slide through today but the line went all the way back to the back of their parking lot and a lot inside was jammed as was inside the store so it's quite a hit“

“This place is so far under rated it's crazy! Literally there no place like this that proves it's excellence. The finally picked chicken is perfectly prepared ( you can actually see it) . Then see how they cook it and make it right in front of you. Nothing tastes better than this Yaya'$ . Been coming here for 30 years lol“

“We had a group of @14 people. Ron was our server. He was absolutely amazing. He didn't write down a single order yet everything was delivered without error! Food was delicious, and the atmosphere was great. We were all in awe of Ron. What a valuable employee you have!!!! Thank you for a lovely experience.“
