New American Restaurants near Palm Harbor, FL

“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.“

“Pesto chicken n shrimp wraps are delicious ?“

“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“

“Hello LBC. I wrote a pretty rude review after ownership changed, and I was very impressed that Eugene responded kindly to such a complaint. Thank you so much, I have heard great things from Hair Salon gals, especially regarding great events in updated event room. I guess I had a hard time with the changes. I will definitely visit you again and am excited to learn about your events. Thank you so much for your response. It made all the difference.“

“I would really like to thank the staff of Thirsty Marlin especially my server Smiley. He’s taken care of me before. But today. He went above and beyond. It’s my 50th birthday and no one took the time to celebrate this milestone with me. So I came out to dine alone. I got there 5 minutes after last call for all you can eat crab was called. But I asked him to see if it would be ok with a manager since my friends bailed on me. I wouldn’t be chatting. Just crabbing. Lolol. He got the all clear. And kept me stocked. All the staff would walk by and wish me a happy birthday. And Smiley chatted with me throughout my meal so I didn’t feel so alone. And on top of everything else. They also blessed with with a ginormous piece of chocolate cake. And here I was thinking. I wasn’t going to get cake for my birthday. Thank you Thirsty Marlin for helping this midcenturian celebrate having made it to the top of the hill. And again. Thank you Smiley for bringing a smile to my face when there was none. Delicious as always.“

“🌟 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. 😄“

“The best, do you’re self a flavor! Eat here!!!“

“Consistently good - we cater in lunch for our office once a week and So Fresh is a popular healthy choice amongst the whole team.“

“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!“

“Great food, servers are top notch, prices are very reasonable. New specials every time we go in. Highly recommended and appreciated“

“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!“

“We celebrated my daughter’s 5th birthday here with the staff going all out making her feel important! A waitress gave her $5 and a manger bought her dessert they sang to her and made her night special! Food was amazing! Live music and a beautiful night out on the patio 10/10 recommend!! Thank you again to all the staff who made her night so special!!“

“Fantastic food and service.“

“Simply amaxing! Lucky to get a reservation on a Sat night. Seated on the patio. Perfect weather, birds chirping away. Restaurant has a welcoming warmth about it! Great food. Great drinks. Great live music. Steak, seafood, fresh veggies, enjoyed by all! David was kind and accomodating. . Rebecca was gracious throughout the meal. All we encountered were professional and genuine. Lovely way to spend an evening with friends and family. Thank you!!“

“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!“

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

“I can't say enough about how much I love this place! From the food to the service and personal attention..it's all really wonderful! 😍“

“Needed a last-minute catering, SoFresh came through, food was great, soooo delicious! Healthy, lot of options and perfect for Mother’s Day weekend!“

“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!!!!“

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

“place is awesome. I come here three or four mornings per week.. The restaurant recently expanded within the same building with bar seating, big screen TV Highly recommend every day 7am-3 pm. great atmosphere.“

“great food great service.“

“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..“

“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.“

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

“Best food in the area. Recommend to any searching for an upscale dining experience“

“The best people working there, super nice and understand. Helps out with the community. Family owned. Love this place.“

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

“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!“

“went with my husband for my 30th birthday and baby moon as we’re expecting our first! juan carlos was our server and he was so attentive and amazing! made our experience great, and felt like he was celebrating with us! food was great, and dessert was even better. but nothing beat the view!“

“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!“

“Anyone who’s ever been to johnnys knows they are the hottest spot for wings, burgers, flatbreads, and decently priced drinks! They are ypur game day location to watch any Ball game you want . They are also very accommodating to big parties.
Majority of their staff has been with them a very long time and I think it’s evidentt that they are where all the Locals go. Stop in during happy hour from 11-6pm ! Cheers 🥂“

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

“Hats off to the friendly staff! We were Florida July Sunshine hot after 1.5 hours at Tampa Bay Downs Golf Range and were looking forward to a cool TBBC brew and some ice water. Ginger was our server, awesome, she was perfect. We will be requesting her tables any time we return. She was kindly patient with us as we got our act together, ordered the ESPE Blonde and my better half greatly enjoyed the “The Last Days of Summer” sour. The food was surprisingly fantastic! They also have wood fire pizzas, which we will returning to try. Highly recommend!“

“What a great birthday celebration!amazing server and food!! 5 stars!!!“

“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.“

“Played here many years great action Great dealers and great food“

“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.“
