“🌟 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. 😄“

“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!“

“Food was delicious, Grouper sandwich, seafood pasta, crab cakes, lobster mac all delicious, had the chef special for dessert tres Leche cake was soo delicious. We enjoyed everything so much we came back same day for dinner.“

“The food is not only some of the most delicious, creative, & best prepared food that we have ever eaten, butt it is also consistently fresh, hot, and clean!! From the preparation, to the presentation, to the service The Restorative is superb!“

“First time at coco wood and Ronda was our server. She gave us recommendations and let me say she hit the nail right on the head. Everything was so tasty and the quality was so fresh. Best I have had on these beaches in a long time. This will be our new spot to go to enjoy unique food and not just the same old stuff you can get anywhere.“

“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!“

“Mexican Pizza... nuff said!“

“Love this place, we come here a lot. The food is always amazing, we love that we never know what the soup is going to be but it’s always sooo good! Also, it’s nice to have a rotating menus of beverages to choose from. Always love trying something new. The staff here are amazing and so attentive it doesn’t matter who you get they will all check on you. They are super welcoming and friendly to everyone. 👍“

“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!“

“I'm a St. Pete Beach local and I still rank O'Maddy's #1 for the grouper sandwich or grouper dinner. I tend to order it 90% of the time because it's so good, but whenever I try anything else, it has been outstanding. Now add in that super cool people work there, and it's a great atmosphere, it's a must-go at least once or twice a month. Anytime people visit me form out of state, I take them here.“

“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!“

“I met Dominic in passing and my do I tell you he is a great individual and I think he’s a great people person. Although he is not host I strongly feel he’d benefit from that position. Thank you Dom for making me and my husband laugh with your wit. You only come across a good soul every one blue moon.“

“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!“

“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.🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤣😎..“

“My son, mom and I stopped in for an early dinner after my son's basketball game. This was our 1st time here and we absolutely loved the food. I highly recommend the "Cool ranch rider" has a nice kick to it the only thing I did differently was ranch instead of mayo and banana peppers instead of hot peppers. My son had the "Turkey bacon" minus onion and tomato as well as sub the mayo for ranch he absolutely loved it!! My mom got the "Roast Beast" loved hers as well!! We decided to try the Lemon Blueberry cheesecake, it too was delicious!! We will definitely be back!! The ladies that helped us with our order were super sweet and made us feel very welcomed!! Loved the vibe. Reggae music playing as well, just overall a great place!! We were at the 3rd Avenue location for reference!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“We walked in for dinner before the Alison Krauss concert yesterday and had a blast. The food was on point and they were packed but still able to run everything. We sat in the middle room, on the high top, next to the kitchen. I would definitely recommend this place. Also, to the lady managing food leaving the kitchen, which made everything work, we had to resist screaming we have jazz hands every time you yelled "I need hands" LOL... Most importantly, there were four of us and we had an appetizer before our entrees. Everyone had a different dish and they were all excellent.“

“We were in SPB this past week. Rick’s was a couple blocks away. Went there for breakfast and supper and every time, the food was awesome! Service was top notch. Such a fun little place to go. We’ll definitely hit them up next time we’re up there.“

“Mexican Pizza... nuff said!“

“A big shoutout to Anthony and Tonya! They could not have been more friendly and professional. We had the privilege of having them as our waiters on multiple occasions, over the last 3 weeks! Food, drinks and atmosphere was the best!!“

“Top notch service, fantastic food. We went for breakfast both days of our vacation. Large portions. Highly recommend.“

“Great staff!!! Large menu. Well prepared food!“

“Insanely good! Everything tasted amazing and it was fast!“

“Had a great time and the food was really good.“

“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!!!“

“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“

“Our experience was amazing at the Postcard Inn! I had 10 girl friends come into town for my Bachelorette Party and this stay was perfect for our group! The rooms were comfortable and the hotel amenities made the trip a breeze! With a restaurant, bar, and coffee shop on site we didn’t have to go far to have a great time! The pool and cabana experience was just what we wanted!“

“Absolutely loved this place. Would have been a five-star if there was more than just a pickle on the mini cheeseburger sliders. They were little dry, but very filling.
Service was amazing.
Not much for atmosphere; contemporary but no frills. I believe that's what they're trying to project.“

“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.“

“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!!!!“

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

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

“My friends and I are in town for the week and asked a local for a good place to get a burger. He recommended Daiquiri Shak. We walked into a warm welcome by a server who was leaving for the day, but she took the time to greet us and seat us. Then our very friendly server arrived at our table and welcomed us again and told us the specials. We ordered the shrimp and crab dip-omg-it was so delicious! Then we all ordered burgers. First bite into the burger we knew we hit the jackpot for a delicious, flavorful burger! It was beyond our expectations! Our server was the lovely Kelsey, and she was exceptional! Very attentive and so friendly! We are going back again while we are in town! Way to go Daiquiri Shak for great service and food! And a huge thank you to Kelsey for making us feel welcome!“

“Good food and good service!! I highly recommend eating here!! The calamari and the gnocchi are DELICIOUS!!“
