  We walked up and down the Clearwater Beach shopping dining area until something struck our fancy, and we stopped in here. It was a good decision, based on a quick Yelp look up. It's a Monday night, and there is an acoustic guitar/singer. We were seated quickly and drinks were ordered. The menu looks absolutely delicious, and there is plenty from which to choose. We had a nice flatbread, and the seared scallops with the tabouli preparation. Both were quite good. The scallops were perfectly done. I also had a wedge salad, which was unique for its use of balsamic and candied pecans. I'd have liked more of the blue cheese dressing as well, but it was fairly well balanced. The service tonight was harried but efficient. I forgot our server's name, but she handled the hubbub well.
  
  All in all, we would gladly return here on a future visit to Clearwater.

  This place was recommended by a friend of mine who visited the area. I didn't give it 5-stars because our order took an extremely long time to reach our table-- this is after tables who arrived well after us received their food. It seemed like a mix-up, because when our food finally got to us, 2 of the 3 plates were pretty cold awhile one was piping hot. This stuff happens, but eating a plate of cold waffles isn't ideal. Further, a simple explanation from our server would have alleviated the frustration.
  
  The actual plate that was warm (biscuits and gravy) was delicious. I'm sure the other two plates would have been great as well if they weren't cold. The menu has a wide range of options, so I think anyone could find something they'd thoroughly enjoy. I'd definitely give this place another shot.
  
  Also, be sure to take a picture in the big chair outside!

  Been here several times with my wife . Menu is huge so you find a variety of entrees to choose from.  Food isn't gourmet but is satisfying and a good value for the price. Live music has always been good . They also have great specials
  
  We've had a couple of odd experiences, both with the same server but won't mention his name. First time my wife ordered the turkey burger that was supposed to come with a bacon jam. It didn't have it on it and when she told her waiter he said . " no, it is on it." Very matter of factly . My wife isn't blind and it clearly was missing. We had him bring a side and then we were charged for it on the bill.
  
  The second time it was the exact same issue. My wife ordered a meal and asked for no cilantro. Same waiter and when she told him it had cilantro he said. " no, it doesn't ." Why argue ? After sending it back he was told by the kitchen it did indeed have cilantro....
  
  Other than the poor customer service by this one waiter , everything else has been fine.

  Good brunch and lunch menu. Stopped for lunch around 12:45pm. Brunch ends at 1:00 and lunch starts. Lots of options for either. Sat out side, outdoor fans were a help with the breeze. In the cooler months there are space heaters.
  
  I had the berry mojito and the rest of the table (2) had 3 Daughters Beach Blond and a dirty martin. Nice selection of adult beverages.
  
  We are light and had the pineapple flat bread, crab sliders and Kobe beef sliders. Flat bread perfect for one person. Crab sliders were good except more bun then crab. The Kobe sliders were better proportioned and much tastier.
  
  Service was excellent. Our waitress was friendly and she was upfront about the menu change. Letting us know that brunch service was almost over.
  
  Will be back to sit outside to enjoy another menu option!

  Definitely the go to spot in downtown Clearwater these days. Clear Sky opened a few years back right on Cleveland St. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful and usually has live music in the front but a more quiet atmosphere in the back. They also have a parking lot out back which is a huge bonus as downtown Clearwater parking isn't the best.
  
  For an appetizer, I recommend starting out with the just ducky Brussel sprouts and the Barbacoa tacos! The tacos are to die for and includes fresco cheese and pickled onions. I usually get the Fort Harrison Sandwhich, which is served on a baguette with onions, peppers and a to die for garlic aioli. The gnocchi is delicious as well. Don't forget to grab one of their many bourbon selections on the rocks!
