The food and service is consistently perfect! we travel to Clearwater at least 2–3 times a year from North Carolina. We typically go to Clear Sky several times during our visit! This particular visit was the day of evacuation for the storm and we were unable to get lunch due to our schedule and the restaurant was closing early. While we were happy, just ordering our favorite breakfast menu item, we requested our absolute favorite, which is the pork dumplings and bang bang shrimp. They were so accommodating since they knew we had come all the way from North Carolina to enjoy those items and accommodated us! They did it so generously and not begrudgingly (like most places these days would have, even if a hurricane was not on the way)!

We had the Thanksgiving Day buffet and everything was excellent. There wasn’t one thing I didn’t enjoy. We will definitely return for that and of course their regular menu if the buffet was that good. Service was outstanding and the views were fabulous. Parking was no problem. In one word…Outstanding!
