“What a fantastic venue for my 70th birthday celebration! We reserved the Honey Hole and Shell Garden for a private gathering of about 30 friends & family with children. Allysia helped me put together a wonderful experience, she went above and beyond to make it really special, and was so easy and fun to work with from start to finish. Our wait staff the day of the event was excellent - friendly, efficient, and fun. Thank you, Alex, Kate, and Mat! All our guests said the food was delicious, too! I highly recommend Hog Island Fish Camp in Dunedin.“

“Carvor’s still has, hands down, the BEST blackened grouper sandwich in Pinellas County. It’s one of those meals you think about long after you leave. Perfectly seasoned, fresh, and honestly indescribably good. That sandwich alone keeps us coming back year after year.

That said, the experience this time felt very different from previous visits. The older woman who has worked there for years continues to come across as rushed and unfriendly every time we visit, which unfortunately affects the overall atmosphere. We’ve been coming here for about 4 years now, and it’s become noticeable enough that we honestly prefer going when she isn’t working. On the other hand, the younger staff members have always been friendly, welcoming, and great to interact with.

Also worth noting: the prices and items on the board are no longer accurate, so make sure to check the paper menu by the register instead.

We’ll absolutely keep returning for the grouper because it really is THAT good, just hoping the customer experience improves moving forward.“

“Food was as amazing as the customer service. We wish we would have found the first day on our trip rather than the last but glad we didn't miss it all together. Crab cakes and tacos were amazing. Highly recommended. Thanks again from South Dakota“

“they have a wide variety of whisky and bourbon and it's a chill place for family or couples“

“Went there again today,had 2 skewers of chicken with onion and peppers , yellow rice and coleslaw...it was so good ,the chicken was full of flavor and tender ,the portion perfect,service excellent,I've been here a handful of times at least,always good ,“

“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!“

“Gina is the best bartender ? ? Pineapple margarita was fab and the blackened grouper tacos are thee best fish tacos I have had in my LIFE!! ?“

“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!“

“Excellent restaurant on sand key! A must stop place. If you want a real treat, hit it up on Thursday for prime rib. If you want seafood their bacon wrapped scallops are pure delicious. No shortage of cocktails and a happy hour menu that is incredible. Excellent service. Of course… the view is unbelievable. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Charley is top notch. Always helpful. Very good person. Always talking to the customers and helping them out for what the want and need. Very attentive to all the customers. Very proud to call her my friend. Love.her spunk.“

“The food and service was outstanding. We ordered escargot, the scallops and the mahi “Oscar”. The flavors were so good!“

“Had an amazing experience at Pisces Sushi in Dunedin! The food was incredibly fresh and flavorful—everything from the specialty rolls to the appetizers was top-notch. The atmosphere is cozy yet upscale, perfect for a date night or a relaxing evening out. A special shoutout to our server, Millie, who truly made the night memorable. He was warm, attentive, and super knowledgeable about the menu. His recommendations were spot-on, and he made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. Definitely one of the best sushi spots in the area. Can’t wait to come back!“

“We just wanted a quick walk to grab something to eat and landed here. It was great! Much better than expected actually. I had the chicken club and my husband had the jambalaya (with the perfect amount of spiciness) and the Cajun chicken sandwich. 100%. Also, don't miss out on the housemade chips!“

“Im a corporate training for a chain restaurant. We had linsey wait on us. She was a delight. Professional, knowledgeable, and timely. The restaurant was very clean, food and portions great. Thank you linsey for making my first time a very plesant experience.“

“I have this a one star review on google a few months ago. However Jeff has really outdone himself with this place. Turned into a great place especially for sports and food. The food wasn’t all that when I was there a few months ago but Jeff has really turned it around to a successful place. Love the new menu. Moved back north and can’t wait to visit when we visit in the winter. FYI seafood bar junk is still my favorite. Good job Jeff and best of luck“

“Food is excellent. Service was not good. It took ten minutes to be acknowledged after being seated. And we were not asked if we wanted dessert when done. Is bread served with meal here?“

“Lucky Lobster Co. is definitely a spot worth checking out if you’re craving seafood with a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. The environment was welcoming, comfortable, and great for both couples and families. Service was excellent from start to finish attentive, friendly, and quick without feeling rushed.

The food overall was really good. The lobster mac and cheese was rich, creamy, and loaded with flavor, easily one of the highlights of the meal. The salmon entrée with mashed potatoes and vegetables was cooked perfectly, flaky and flavorful with a delicious creamy sauce on top. The fish tacos were also a standout fresh, light, and packed with flavor from the toppings and salsa.

The only dish that missed the mark a bit was the lobster pizza. It looked great, but the flavor combination just wasn’t as impressive as the other dishes and felt a little underwhelming compared to everything else on the table.

One thing to keep in mind: parking is limited, especially during busy hours, so arriving early helps. Overall, great service, great atmosphere, and very good food make this a place I’d definitely come back to.“

“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.“

“Loved the food and atmosphere!“

“Candidly, this place will not get enough traction being off the beach and off the beaten path. Plus, there are just better locations and views at South Beach and Rockaway.

Having said that, this was my LAST stop on the Cocktail Challenge, and I enjoyed my drink on a humid day and, if I’m being honest, lived my Dockside Lemonade the best of all the drinks on the challenge. I had the Banana Hammock and, of course, the Rum Runner, which was outstanding, but this Dockside Lemonade was cool and refreshing and welcomed. A little sweet as a heads up, but really a nice summer drink!

At the end of the day, this was a great way to finish my challenge and had a pleasant experience! For the record, if you are interested in the challenge. Go South Beach, Rockaway, Saltwater (for the views and true on-the-beach dining). End with a grouper sandwich (the best I had) at the Original and then cash in your passport at the next block at Off the Hook!“

“everything. this place is AMAZING. after every bite, I say ..."oh my god"!! been here many times. never disappoints.“

“Love this place for Hibachi or Sushi. Great service. Food is excellent.“

“The Opal sol is beautiful and clean. It is a pleasure to stay here. The rooms are gorgeous and the view from your room cannot be beat. We just got back from 5 nights here and we were sad to leave. The employees were kind and helpful. I also highly recommend room service breakfast. It comes very fast and it’s perfectly hot and delicious.“

“This place is worth the try found this gem about 2 weeks ago and I can honestly say this place is on the list for delicious food“

“Just had lunch here, party of four, three of us had the corned beef and cabbage dinner it was excellent, trimmed perfectly and fork tender, served with carrots, potatoes and toasted garlic bread, great flavor! we all agreed it was one of the best we've had in this area , they may not be an Irish restaurant but they got it right!! Our servers were friendly and accommodating. This restaurant seats approximately 30 guests and has a family feel while dinning. I have recommended this little gem of a restaurant to many others and have always gotten positive feedback.“

“Hands down the best food my husband and I have ever had!! Service was great, manager and chef even checked in throughout the meal! Great place to celebrate any occasion or go just because! We will be back next time we come to town! 😍“

“Good seafood. Food and service is great. Bacon and shrimp appetizer is my favorite.“

“Had a great experience at Frenchy’s! The food was excellent, the atmosphere was exactly what you’d want from a beach restaurant, and the service really made the visit stand out.

A special shoutout to JT and Kelsey behind the bar. They were friendly, attentive, and kept things running smoothly even when it was busy. They made everyone feel welcome, had great recommendations, and always seemed to have a smile on their faces. It’s clear they care about providing great service and creating a fun experience for their guests.

If you’re looking for good food, cold drinks, and a laid-back beach vibe with outstanding service, Frenchy’s is definitely worth a visit. We’ll be back!“

“I went to Migg's Craft Kitchen for the time for Sunday Brunch. I ordered the Crab Benedict and it was absolutely delicious. The presentation was very eye catching. The restaurant is a smaller intimate setting. I highly recommend this place and I can't wait to try something else.“

“I never give 5 stars, but I have nothing to complain about service was amazing, food was the best I had on my trip to clear water, and atmosphere was great! Live music and clean place! Even though it was packed I got my food in less than 10 minutes! Burger was super good and fries too. Server was nice and friendly! Overall I love it and hope to come back again!!“

“Crablegs and shrimp scampi were awesome. Loved the coleslaugh too!⁴“

“Love the wine dinners each month!!!!!“

“When is your next monthly dinner special. My wife and I enjoy your monthly $50.00 each full course dinner special. Please let us know the next date.“

“I love coming to the Salty crab. We enjoy the freshed seafood everytime we come here. The service we have had every time we've been here is always been very attentive. Today, Ray was very accommodating and ensured he explained every dish we had questions on (large group) and accommodated all our food requests. We have never had a bad experience. My children enjoy everything on the kids menu, and we enjoy the specialty drinks too. We will be back..again“

“Finest dining experience in the beautiful downtown Dunedin.“

“These donuts are so fresh and delicious, I wanted a real good donut and these are the very best by far.“

“I stopped in to place a to-go order, and the women who started this place took great of me. They were super friendly and down to Earth. I sat and enjoyed a water and coffee while my order was prepared and also was given a coffee to-go. I got home and enjoyed a wonderful meal! I will for sure be back. Be sure to check this place out if you're looking for a welcoming vibe, friendly staff, and damn good food.

Update: I went back and dined in. It was excellent!“
