New American Restaurants near Pinellas Park, FL

“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.“

“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.“

“I picked up my free Sonny's Birthday dinner tonight. Completely impressed with the generous amount of food! I added some of their fried okra which is always deluxe! I love Sonny's at full price. This treat really made my day! Thank you Pinellas Park Sonny's!“

“The apps and entrees were really good. Dessert was not our favorite. Oil and olives in ice cream and cookies? Strawberry pepper ice cream? Not again for us. Menu changes about quarterly. Service was good.“

“Who was very tasty and delicious“

“We went to Frog Pond all 3 days on our vacation and had great experiences each time! The Country Benedict was SO good with a side of fruit. Can’t wait to come back next year.“

“I’m in the food and beverage industry, and let me just say—this is the place to go! From the moment I walked in, the service was next-level. They somehow knew where I worked, which made the experience feel incredibly thoughtful and personal. I genuinely felt like a celebrity.

Andrew was phenomenal—warm, attentive, and absolutely on point throughout the entire evening. And the food? Out. Standing. Do yourself a favor and order the focaccia, the chopped salad, the lamb, and the vodka pasta. Every single dish was a knockout. The lamb especially—holy moly!

Already counting down the days until my next visit with Andrew!“

“Great place! J was awesome !“

“🌟 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 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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Food and service can’t be beat. My family loves it here!“

“Congenial atmosphere and staff“

“This place is a little hidden gem. Had some of the best chili dogs I ever had! Highly recommend. Staff is super nice and it’s got such a good vibe inside!“

“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!“

“Fish and chips great shrimp great dipping sauces great service great a must eat place you will enjoy it“

“The starter salad is so delicious and our steaks were cooked perfectly and mine was actually the best steak I’ve eaten! Definitely coming back when I visit again!“

“Their brunch menu is outstanding!!! Service is outstanding!!! Atmosphere is outstanding!!! Highly recommend!“

“The best bread pudding I have ever had in my life!! And the mac n cheese, yes please 🤤 The main courses were fantastic too and the artwork had good vibes. Did I mention the bread pudding?!“

“I was there for my birthday and I had a great time the ambiance was great and our waitress was so pleasant her name is Jeanae. I enjoyed talking to her.“

“Great food, service and prices!!!“

“Stayed here on an overnight, hadn't been in 10 years, and I had forgotten the quaint atmosphere of this place. Combined with good food and great friendly service, it's a great stop in St Petersburg whether you stay at the hotel or not. Some good daily specials, for both food and drink. Again came face to face with NAM (which stands for Not A Moose, from what I overheard! He's a caribou!) who overlooks the bar. This place is worth a visit if you've never been here!“

“A bus of us went to Gulfport to support the community after the devastation that occurred after 2 hurricanes.
7 of us descended on O'Maddy's for lunch. I was having a hard time deciding and asked our server for a recommendation. She said that Big John was a customer favorite. 4 of us ordered it. My sister opted for no bun, I switched from a pretzel bun to a brioche bun. All I can say is WOW! We all thought it was absolutely delicious. The thinly sliced roast beef was rare as promised and plenty of it. The beer cheese sauce, cole slaw, and potato chips on the sandwich completed this culinary delight. The french fries arrived hot and were delicious. We also asked for horseradish on the side to add to the deliciousness. None of the 4 of us could finish and got boxes to take the rest home. One in our party opted for the fish and chips, and he said it was delicious as well. Another ordered the salad with salmon and said that his was excellent.
We were seated pretty quickly and had excellent service. We will definitely be back!“

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

“We absolutely love the food, drinks, and service at this VIP Mexican Restaurant. Especially, the drinks and the service. Gabby is our favorite bartender/host. The atmosphere is pretty awesome too.“

“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!!“

“Atmosphere, food and service was amazing. Wonderful dining experience.“

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

“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. 👍“

“Excellent food from a tiny kitchen. This is a must experience!“

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

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

“First off I don't know how anyone can give the place less than 5 stars. The waitress was in a fantastic mood and very helpful when suggesting the appetizers and local favorites. The food was fresh and full of flavor. Honestly the best lobster mac and cheese i have ever eaten. My wife had the meat loaf and is usually negative about how it presented and taste however she couldn't stop eating it.
Olivia was awesome and made the experience so much better 🙏“

“OMG in town for a girl's trip and some of the most amazing food we have had so far. I cannot say enough good things about the food and service at this restaurant.“

“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!“

“Great food fun vibe. Prices are fair. I like the Sat night entertainment. Small band or D.J. Added bonus!“

“For a chain restaurant, for which I detest, they have the best baby back ribs anywhere. \n\nRibs come on a platter with beans and slaw and a piece of garlic bread. Pure Deliciousness. Aaron, our server took good care of us. Dustin. the grill master, grilled to perfection! \n\nBeer is 2 for 1. Plenty of parking. I will be back again and again.\n\nWifey, who doesn't even like ribs, loves the baby back ribs here. She approves!“

“Great place!! love the music and food was delicious!! Big shout out to Jason, he was a fantastic server.“

“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!“

“I’ve been coming to The Craftsman House for years, and their food and service has been unfailingly great. I love looking at their beautiful and unusual art pieces and have been to and enjoyed a few concerts there. It’s such a cozy and intimate and fun place. I’ve found the people who work there to be friendly and professional. The owner is a really smart and personable guy who has been in St. Petersburg for a long time. It’s always a pleasure to chat with him about the artists and interesting things going on in St. Petersburg.“

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

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

“Warning: Tasting this burger will forever ruin your taste buds for any other burger, ever. Seriously. Oh, and their filet is divine. And the beef carpaccio is incredible!“

“We rented the restaurant out for an engagement photography session, and the staff was very accommodating! The architecture was stunning. We can’t wait to go back!“

“Great food, reasonably priced. Love the mural!“

“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.“
