Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Clearwater

A Night to Remember at Ocean Prime Tampa Last night, Danielle and I had an unforgettable experience at Ocean Prime Tampa, and I can confidently say that this is what dining should be. We opted to sit at the bar, which turned out to be the perfect choice. From the moment we arrived, the energy in the room was electric yet sophisticated, filled with both engaging guests and an incredibly attentive staff who made us feel like we were part of something special. We started with the truffle popcorn—simple yet indulgent, the perfect opening bite. What followed was a salad so fresh and vibrant it was out of this world—each bite bursting with flavor and precision. Then came the star of the night—the steak. Perfectly cooked and paired with three incredible sides, it was an experience in itself. The portions were generous enough that we even had leftovers to take home, but every bite made it hard to stop eating. What elevated this experience beyond just great food was the exceptional service. The bartenders and servers weren’t just attentive; they were engaged, charismatic, and passionate about what they do. They brought the Cameron Mitchell experience to life, making sure every guest felt valued and immersed in the Ocean Prime atmosphere. If you haven’t been to an Ocean Prime, you haven’t been to a restaurant that truly cares. From the ambiance to the hospitality to the flawless execution of every dish, it’s an experience worth savoring. We’ll absolutely be back!

Had reservations for Valentine's at 7:30, packed house and still quality service. We ordered wagyu beef sliders, Cajun pasta with a side of truffle fries, lobster ravioli with a side 4oz filet mignon. Everything was incredible and cooked to perfection, we can't wait to go back. Wagyu beef sliders were so good and glad we ordered 3 instead of 2 and the lobster ravioli was huge and packed with real lobster chunks in every bite. The truffle fries are definitely worth the upcharge. Looking forward to our next visit!

We had a wonderful experience at your restaurant. Our server Jacob was fantastic, kind and very knowledgeable. Everyone worked very hard and appeared to enjoy their jobs. Excellent Food and service. We had the calamari appetizer the best we have found for sure. Thanks so much for a wonderful Valentine's experience.

Great location. Great friendly vibe. Great service and food. After several visits to LL, I keep waiting to be disappointed and it just never happens. From the moment you're greeted upon entering to the well wishes offered when leaving, the staff is top notch. Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and just the right amount of attention during the meal. The food is equally impressive. Nothing fancy in terms of presentation. But that's not what this place is all about. A nice varied menu with fresh seafood that is well prepared and always tastes great. And lots of lobster options. Will definitely be back.

Great food! We are always impressed by the service, selection, and prices. There is literally Not a bad item on the menu and I have tried pretty much everything. We can’t wait for the Clearwater beach location to open back up. Thanks for the great service
