Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Clearwater

nt was busy but not overcrowded, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Our server, Paul, was fantastic--very accommodating, especially with the kids. The rest of the staff was equally friendly and attentive without being overbearing. While they offered a special Thanksgiving menu including turkey and the fixings, we decided to stick with pasta. I started with a Caesar salad, which was a generous portion and great value. The Caesar dressing was good and not too much anchovy flavor. For my entrée, I had the fettuccine with bolognese, and it was delicious--a hearty and satisfying dish. The kids shared a spaghetti and meatballs from the kids' menu, and my wife chose the shrimp fettuccine Alfredo, which she found to be flavorful and perfectly prepared (not too much butter). Bread was served before dinner with a pesto olive oil dip, which was a nice touch. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a delicious meal in a friendly setting!

Sand Key Columbia always impresses. We have been doing Thanksgiving Lunch there for several years now and the food is amazing. I do not like turkey, so I love the option of selecting something else off their regular (and amazing) menu. Our server (Cindy) was impeccable and extraordinarily attentive. Thank you Gonzmart Family for making our Thanksgiving a truly memorable experience.

A wonderful experience at IWG after visiting Clearwater Aquarium. Seated immediately, server was great, professional, and knowledgable. Food was excellent. We will return

Love the Clear Sky restaurants. Good food, fun atmosphere. We started with the pecan crusted Brie-delicious! Both of us enjoyed the lobster ravioli. Generous portion, plenty of lobster meat. Took home enough for another meal.

Haven’t been here in a while. Food and views are equally good. Relaxing piano music inside. Neighborhood gem.
