    Beautiful cave entrance at Cove Kitchen + Bar
    Jenny M.

    The Cove Kitchen & Bar is a newly renovated relaunched restaurant at Shepherd's Beach Resort with more of an upscale vibe and ambiance. The entrance of the restaurant has a cave style to it that makes you feel like you're at magical far away tropical land! There is patio seating available outside as well as inside seating next to a window both offering great sunset views of the water! There is no booth seating but there is comfy chairs. Our server was very friendly and attentive! For the appetizer, the Deviled Crab Cakes which came with Cove's housemade lump blue crab cakes served with spicy mayo. 8/10 For the appetizer, Conch Fritters came with Tender sous vide conch, trinity vegetables and Creole flavors. Served with spicy mayo. 8/10 Hereford 1881 Ribeye 14oz came 28+ day dry aged and was tasty. 9/10 Macaroni au Gratin side was tasty and super cheesy! 8/10 Colossal Curry Shrimp came with large Colossal shrimp, bell pepper, onion, sautéed in a delicious green coconut curry sauce.. Served over cilantro-lime white rice and topped with Thai chili and cilantro. 9/10 For dessert, we had the Reese's Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie. It was delicious! Tasty but not overly sweet, just right! 9/10 If you're in the Clearwater Beach area and looking for upscale seafood dining and steak with a view of the water, I highly recommend the Cove Kitchen & Bar!

    Excellent breakfast!" Wonderful service (thanks Tyler!) Great dining on waterfront--visiting cranes will join you!

    Re: food service The bartender is our waiter. No fault of his own, but food service is horrible! The prices are not cheap so we'd thought service would be superior. I'm writing this review as we've sat for half hour / no appetizer, no salad, not even bread! We've booked a large party upcoming - I will not recommend this place!

    Traditional breakfast - eggs, potatoes, ham and biscuit.  Yum!

    Renee was great! Fresh coffee, smiley, friendly and helpful. She even made our table larger to accommodate all six of us. Food was slow but fantastic! Views gorgeous!

    They accommodated us with a table outside for five, even though typically their tables only seat four. The food was great! We had crabcakes, pork belly, Sea Bass, pork chops, and filet. One warning though - if you get the snapper, be sure you like spicy food. The flavor is amazing, but they use Jamaican scotch bonnet peppers. My favorite was the dessert which was almost like a baked Alaskan, but with Keylime pie. Definitely will be bookmarked in return again!

The brussel sprouts appetizer is HUGE. It was double the size I have received at other places, so took some back to the hotel for leftovers. They also came with a tasty dipping sauce that was unique as well. The Caesar salad was neutral; no strong flavor yet not distasteful. No anchovies taste either. I could take it or leave it. The filet steak was tender served over some mashed potatoes and thick asparagus wrapped in salty, yummy bacon. The smoky old fashioned and expresso martini (with Baileys added extra!) drinks were tasty. Make a reservation online and Uber/Lyft if you are close as it's easy in and out!

We ended up splitting the seafood pasta dish, and it was more than either of us could eat, even after splitting it. Service was good for dinner. Martini was good, but the blue cheese stuffed olives were prepackaged from a jar. Breakfast blew us away. Every dish we had was great. I don't think you can go wrong. Breakfast pizza was surprisingly great and enough for two people to split. Service at breakfast was fantastic. The coffee was always flowing and the servers were always smiling. The atmosphere and ambience are OK. I don't love the vibe, as it felt like a dated dining room experience. But Food was still great. If you are staying at the Opal Sands, the entire complex has amazing food and you don't even have to leave. Huge benefit to staying there.

We started with 3 orders of grilled oysters, 3 for $5 is still a great deal. The cajun seasoning and cheese on top made them incredibly flavorful and enjoyable. They were so good we basically decided to order a second batch the moment we finished the first. We also got the fried Brussels sprouts and coconut shrimp. The coconut shrimp was delicious with the sweet and sour sauce, and the brussel sprouts were just pure yum. We were so into the appetizers that we almost skipped entrees, but decided to share a shrimp po'boy. The shrimp was perfectly crispy, exactly what we were looking for. Overall, great location, great food, friendly staff, fast service, and happy hour makes it all that much better. Will happily return and recommend!

The first odd moment was at check-in: our party of two was asked to sit at the outside high-top bar, even though the restaurant was mostly empty. That would have been fine if it was consistent, but right after that another party of two was told they could sit wherever they wanted. It set the tone that we were being "managed" into a specific spot for reasons that weren't about availability. Food-wise, it was actually fine. We ordered tacos and the surf and turf, and both were solid enough. Nothing blew me away, but nothing was wrong with it either. Service was also fine in the best way, our server was attentive without hovering and checked in at the right times. The value, though, is where this place starts slipping. A big chunk of the menu being market price feels misleading in practice, because it makes it harder to know what you're committing to until you're already there, and the final cost landed firmly on the expensive side for what we got. If you're going to charge premium prices, the overall experience has to match it. Unfortunately, the biggest issue had nothing to do with the kitchen. Because we were placed at that outside high-top bar, we ended up sitting a few feet away from a salesperson "training" another person directly in front of the restaurant, and their conversation was loud, crude, and uncomfortable the entire time. It wasn't just casual chatter, it was grotesque commentary, including a loudly announced remark about what he had done in the bathroom, plus a running lesson on how to deceive people and other tactics that sounded like a timeshare pitch tied to Wyndham. On top of that, the guy was openly ogling women, which made the area feel unpleasant and honestly embarrassing to sit near. The kicker was when we left, the same person tried to sell to us on the way out, apparently not realizing we'd been sitting right behind him the whole lunch. I understand people need to make a living, but the combination of the language, the behavior, and the proximity to diners completely undermined the experience. I don't know what the relationship is between that sales operation and Salty's. If you go, ask to sit inside or away from the bar/patio traffic, and be prepared for higher-than-expected pricing.

The bar is located on the third floor and we took the elevator to get up there. The atmosphere is an open outdoor bar with tiki themed decor and a DJ. The music was super loud which was not appealing to us but we found a secluded table that was away from the noise. The views from the rooftop are spectacular even if it was way too loud. We ordered one round of drinks and all of them were delicious! I ordered the buttery chi chi which was not super strong which was perfect for me. My partners ordered stronger drinks and both were delicious. The ratings on their menu are definitely accurate for what you can expect from a liquor forward perspective. The bar was slammed so it took a little bit to get our drinks but everyone was very nice. We didn't order any food but would probably return for drinks!
