What a coffee shop gem! Love seeing spots popping up in Clearwater and revamping the area. This spot is super cute, great coffee and food. They have plenty of seating indoors along with an outdoor patio area as well. It turns into a wine bar at night and on the weekends they have a dj. Love supporting local places!

Drift Opal Sol - Lobster avocado toast

I love Drift! I only get to Clearwater once or twice a year, but when I do, I make a point to go…read more This was my second time in, and I arrived at 10:45 PM thinking I might not be able to get anything at all, but I had to try. Preston was so fantastic, immediately welcoming me, offering a beverage, and asking if I wanted some food. My absolute favorite thing about Drift is that they serve Caymus by the glass! I ordered a glass right away, followed by the mushroom flatbread (to which I added pepperoni--delicious!). I was able to enjoy my wine and a fresh slice of flatbread, and took the rest home, all before they closed. I was so thankful and impressed with the wonderful customer service and for accommodating me as their very last customer. Thank you, Drift--I cannot wait to come back the next time I'm in Clearwater!

Fantastic casual dining restaurant with a fine dining feel. I had no idea this place was considered…read morecasual dining until the table next to us asked for a manager who explained it as part of their response to a complaint. No complaints here though! What makes this place unique? They offered Caymus Cabernet BY THE GLASS, which I have not found before, and I frequent higher end restaurants often. It was fun to have a high-end glass of wine without spending hundreds on a bottle. It's also nice if you want to try other drinks. The espresso martini (get it with Baileys added for a smoother taste!) is huge and delicious. Brussel sprouts appetizer and feta whip appetizer were both tasty and ample for two people. The spicy fish tacos are Mahi Mahi and a MUST if you like Mahi. I will only eat Mahi if close to the ocean, and it was great. No fishy taste, nice and tender. The brownie dessert that was off-menu was perfect for a sweet bite. So many nice restaurants get too crazy with their specialty desserts, and sometimes you just want a simple yet decadent treat like a brownie! Make a reservation on their website and relax. It's an easy Uber ride if staying locally as well.

Cool place! Modern and luxurious interior design. They have plenty of tables and a bar. Also some…read moreoutside seating which was nice on a Saturday evening. They have tasting machines, which they stock about 20 different wines available for a "sip" (1 ounce pour), a 2oz and glass pour. They rotate these wines regularly and you get a card that you can put in the machine to pour it. Then you just pay on your tab after! We came for the Happy Hour which I believe was 25% off wines and some food items. It was fun to SIP on many different wine choices and sit outside. Such a lovely time!

We went to a wine bar really just because we were excited about the build your own charcuterie…read moreboard, but it was a great time even for people totally ignorant to wine. My friend doesn't actually drink alcohol but thankfully they have a small list of mocktails and nonalcoholic drinks, and I know nothing about wines except that I usually only like roses, which thankfully they had a flight of! Emerson, our server, did a great job explaining the different notes of the rose options, and helping us pick a fourth cheese option as we were building our board. Now on to the charcuterie, what we really came here for. Delicious! The only thing we left any bit of was the complimentary crasins and a bit of the horseradish cheddar. We inhaled the Brie, regular goat cheese, and mustard & ale cheddar, plus the prosciutto and salami. It also came with figs and Carr's crackers; again we only left some crasins and the bit of horseradish cheese, everything else was phenomenal. I would come back in a heartbeat just for the BYOCB situation. We also checked out some of the truffle options, but ended up opting to try those some other time. The interior is intimate and cozy with black marble inspired tables and velveteen emerald seating. They also have a bar that seats maybe a dozen people plus a few outdoor tables. It also looked like there was a small room for groups or events possibly. Don't quote me on that though. Street parking is available right outside and all around on the nearby side streets.

They have valet if you wish. Very limited indoor AC area and some outdoor area. But it's a must go get f your in Clearwater. The bistrós potatoes is delicious but can be shared by 3-4 adults. It's huge

I have been vacationing in Clearwater and a happy Bobby's customer since 2001....I just visited…read morethis place for the first time since 2018, longer than I would have liked. I made reservations for 7:00 - only for NO ONE to be there! Turns out they are only open on Friday's and Saturday nights now from 5:00 until 8:30 even! Super short hours. To say I was shocked that we were the only table at the restaurant the entire evening is an understatement. Absolutely not a single other table was there. We questioned whether or not the place was going out of business. Our sever was friendly and stuck to the script when we asked a couple different times if this was normal.... Food tasted extremely mediocre for the price. Not the same menu they used to have - either in what is offered or in the physical menu itself. Just a printed off piece of paper - again, I was stunned. Ambiance was absolutely zero - Lady Gaga blasted from the patio music, with the once beloved striped canvas totally missing from the patio atmosphere. The seats and tables were even falling apart. I understand there was a pandemic and hurricane Helene prior to our visit, but wow is it sad to see this place gone so downhill - and charging you top dollar for it.
