What a beautiful and delicious experience we had at Ocean Hai. It's a level of elegance we wanted…read more The overall look from the entrance, the food, and the gorgeous patio is a must add to your list when in Clearwater! It was crazy hot so we couldn't sit on the patio but at sunset it was still a stunning view. Kalby was an absolute pleasure to be serviced by. She was attentive and used her talents to help recommend entrees from the menu. Our starter was the bulgogi skewers which were perfectly balanced with sweet and Korean spice. The edamame was our least favorite dish. I did discuss this with kalby and the manager. The idea was there but poor execution. The gochujang sea salt...the gochujang just wasn't there and once you ate that top layer all you got was oily edamame, so much oil...you wouldn't need chapstick for the rest of the day. Then wins though came from the cocktails. Ours were delicious and my old fashion was spot on. Also in the win was the sunset sushi, beautiful and fantastic, along with Korean crispy chicken. The peanut sauce was the perfect balance to that meal. Now...what we also loved that should be permanently on the menu was the mochi. We had 4 of them and they were wonderful! Everyone should be able to experience these. But ocean hai on your list as a must try place for sure.

First thing's first, the ambiance at this place when the sun is setting is absolutely worth having…read moredinner here. We had the nicest table right on the patio overlooking the beach and it was fantastic. Our server was pleasant when she was around, but it seemed like she went missing for long periods of time and always right when we seemed to need something. Service was generally slow and the restaurant wasn't super busy when we were there. Food was mediocre at best. We started with the bulgogi beef skewers and the ahi tuna apps. The skewers were sort of dry and chewy...and I don't know that they tasted like bolgogi. The tuna tartar app tasted heavily of lime and nothing else and the cuts on the tuna were pretty messy and made it a bit difficult to eat. The grouper entree was okay, but the piece of fish I got looked like a baseball in that it was thick and sort of round? It made it just kind of tough and overcooked on the outside and a little undercooked on the inside. The chicken fried rice was good, but nothing to write home about.

The dining area is open but we'll cooled due to a nice misting feature. It did not make you wet, just cool. The service was attentive and friendly.

Once when they opened and another time around 3pm. This first bowl was fresh and super yummy. The second bowl served later in the day was so think it was like a dip. Reminded me of the soup you get on too good to go. Def not fresh, but still tasty. The Ruben was well cooked. I liked it mostly but the fish did get lost in the sando. Not the best way to have fresh Florida seafood but I'm glad I tried it. The cracked conch was just meh. Well cooked as well but kind of tough and no really seasoning on it. The fries were super yummy. This place needs to be a stop when you are in the area.

We were told they were nominated for Best Breakfast, and I can confidently say it is **100% well deserved**. I absolutely love everything about this place--from the beautiful decor and friendly atmosphere to the incredible staff, huge selection of food, and, most importantly, the quality of everything we've ordered. Everything is made to order and absolutely delicious. From breakfast to lunch to dinner, every meal has been excellent! We were especially lucky to have been taken care of by some truly wonderful people. Travis served us on our first night and immediately made us feel comfortable and right at home. He was incredibly friendly and gave us some fantastic food recommendations. Sarah was also amazing and went above and beyond to make sure everything was exactly to our liking. Isabel was another wonderful server who made our experience even more enjoyable. **Briana and Dave were also fantastic and provided such great service, making each visit even more enjoyable.** And we can't forget Robert over at the Bloody Mary bar! He made my husband and me some of the most delicious Bloody Marys, piled HIGH with incredible bites like grilled cheese, fried chicken, and bacon. They were almost a meal in themselves! As far as must-tries go, you **have to** try the Cinnamon Bun French Toast, any of their omelets, the burgers, the Blackened Grilled Chicken Bacon Swiss & Ranch sandwich, the Cuban, the Southwest Egg Rolls, and of course, their amazing French fries. If you're staying at Sandpearl or anywhere in the area, **do yourself a favor and stop at Clear Sky Café.** The food, service, atmosphere, and people make this place truly special. We're already looking forward to coming back!

Highly recommend.

I told our waitress, Tara, and she immediately offered to bring me a crab leg entre with shrimp to make up the difference in cost. One of the kitchen employees brought my new entre out to me, and Tara made sure I was completely satisfied with the money I spent. They didn't have to do this, some places out there wouldn't have. The Jonah Crab Claws were exactly what they were supposed to be - I just didnt like them. They made it right with us anyways.

Courtney was my waitress, and even when slammed, she never forgot me. She was professional and did an outstanding job both times I ate with her. As for the food, it was the best I had in Clearwater. I prefer Diner and Dive local eats compared to overpriced and pretentious restaurants. I had the seafood platter and the Grouper sandwich, and both were outstanding and grilled to perfection. I enjoyed my seafood scallops and grouper with green beans on the platter, but I LOVED my sandwich and fries! This was also my FIRST stop on the Cocktail Challenge (four stops for four signature drinks at four locations), and I enjoyed my drink on a humid day and, if I'm being honest, loved my Dockside Lemonade the best of all the drinks on the challenge. I had the Banana Hammock and, of course, the Rum Runner, which was outstanding, but this Dockside Lemonade was cool and refreshing and welcomed. Little sweet as a heads up, but really a nice summer drink! At the end of the day, this was a great way to start my challenge and Clearwater vacation. It can get busy with its proximity to the beach, so beware! ***For the record, if you are interested in the challenge. Go South Beach, Rockaway, Saltwater (for the views and true on-the-beach dining). End with a grouper sandwich (the best I had) at the Original and then cash in your passport at the next block at Off the Hook!

Great prices and solid food…read more I recently read a book about how most grouper isn't actually grouper. The book called out that Frenchy's grouper is the real deal because they fish for it themselves. That was enough to make me want to try this restaurant. I'm glad they have this location, because it was two minutes from Opal sol where we were staying. We were here at about 1130 on a Saturday and there was tons of seats available. It doesn't seem that big, but being that it's pretty far south from a lot of other places I think the size fits the demand. You can sit outside on the first floor or upstairs. Upstairs, there were only about eight tables, but it was air-conditioned and we had a nice view of the beach. All the drinks are so inexpensive. We are talking less than $10 each. I got a butter, pecan old-fashioned and my husband got a margarita and we both enjoyed our drinks. For our entrées, I got a super grouper grilled sandwich with coleslaw, my younger son got a pretzel that was in the shape of Fish, my older son got a chicken tender basket, and the two of them shared, and my husband got a peel and eat shrimp. This was the perfect amount of food for all of us, we ate it all. The pretzel was a huge hit, it comes with queso, and the kids demolished it. The grouper sandwich tasted a little dry, but again I love the fact that it is real grouper so I would definitely try again. Service was pretty quick and music was old school (think Price). I really enjoyed this place and we will definitely come back.

Even being a local though, I'd certainly visit this restaurant. It sits right on the marina with views all the way around. Unfortunately for us it was raining during our visit, so we weren't able to get a taste of their vast rooftop. Looks like something to be enjoyed though! Here you'll find Mexican-fusion type eats. Which was lucky for me because that's my fave and we went on my birthday! I opted for a spicy marg, which was on happy hour special, and that hit the spot. Love when they do a tahin rim. As for food, my husband and I split the ceviche (holy sh*t was that refreshing and amazing I'd order again 10/10), and some fish tacos (also very good). As for dessert, my one bday request was key lime pie and this place delivered that request! Titled the 'margarita key lime pie,' it's infused with with reposado infused lime. An absolute delight! Our server was so sweet, the vibe was good, and we'd definitely give it an overall thumbs up.

I love this place. I live right down the street and order out at least twice a week. The food is always hot and delicious, and is always delivered super fast (keep in mind though, I literally live right down the street). Would not reccommend calling the first hour or two after they open, though. It always seems to take 2 times as long. After ordering there regularly for a month, the owner throws in a couple extra egg rolls or veg. fried rice to my order for free. It's always nice to be shown customer appreciation like that. read more
