    The Food is delicious and the service is amazing. I wish they were there more but that's the mobile life I guess.

    Standing in line for a smoothie I didn't want, but it was a hot day at the mezzo market, and I…read morenoticed a backdoor propped open. I got curious and nodded to my friend. She poked her head inside, she nodded back and the decision was made to visit COPA without a word. It was bustling on the inside with market goers passing through, but it was controlled chaos on the other side of the counter. The workers knew exactly what they were doing and even in busy time of the market they were quick to buss tables, get ordered items to customers fast and the bathroom was pristinely clean. The bumping A/C provided instant relief as we claimed the stools by the bar. My friends and I quickly agreed, this place is an absolute gem. So gorgeously decorated and the drinks, the mocktails, the pastry items, the food were beautiful and delicious. It really appeared they did everything well here. Service was impeccable and the side salad I ordered was so crisp and refreshing. Honestly 5 stars all around. The food, service, atmosphere and drinks were sensational and exceeded all expectations.

    Someone in our group saw their sign about stone crab and insisted we go here for dinner. It was…read morenear where we were staying so we came here with a group of 8 - and they were totally able to accommodate us. This ended up being such a great place and experience that we came back a second time on the weekend - and they were still able to seat our group of 8 pretty quickly despite being very busy. Amazing. The stone crab was allegedly delicious and was ordered a second time on our return. The first night I had the island rice bowl with jerk chicken. It was lovely and I ate every last bite. The rice itself was a bit bland but the flavors around it were great and mixed in with it to make a yummy combo. Any time I'm outside of Wisconsin I try to order an Old Fashioned, but this was definitely not their skillset. It came out tasting like watered down bourbon in an orange slice and a red cherry. So the next time I looked to something else. There were no great looking drinks with brown liquor, so I tried the sangria happy hour (literally a 24/7 happy hour). It was better than most sangrias I've ordered in restaurants so I was content with my choice. Multiple people in our group ended up with the jerk chicken, and they raved about it. A lot of our meals over the week were compared to Rumba's jerk chicken. We got some kind of chicken nachos as an appetizer, and oh my was it heavenly. I'm not a nachos person, but these were to die for. And the chicken on them was scrumptious. My second trip I wasn't starving, so I got the Southern Street Corn Caesar - cuz how amazing does that sound?? Well, it was basically just a Caesar salad (don't get me wrong, it was a good Caesar salad) with a few pieces of corn in it. It was indeed blistered and lovely, but it made absolutely zero impact on the salad. I expected it to be kind of the star of the dish given the name. Oh well. I added blackened shrimp to my Caesar. A great salad regardless, clean plate club once again. I thought this place was great. A casual atmosphere but still a nice setting with good food and super friendly staff. Our first night, Owen was our server and he was an absolute gem. Our second time I am pretty sure we had Tiffany, and she was also a delight. Definitely the best two servers we had anywhere during our stay in Florida. Thank you!

    This place went downhill. don't recommend the clearwater location…read more I got the shrimp trio platter - basic shrimp, nothing special. basic corporate sauces. I got the fried platter - it was a sad plate of food that was previously frozen. They were out of grouper so I got the mahi mahi and it was a bad decision. It tasted like an overcooked chicken breast. I told the waitress that it was very gross and she asked if i wanted something else. I said no. check came out and i was charged full priced for the frozen plate of garbage. even the "scallops" came from a frozen bag of fish. unreal. this place used to be so good with actual fresh fish.
