Gimlets
Mike M.

One of our favorite restaurants in this area. Staff is always super friendly and efficient and their food is consistently on point. Oh...and they make a really tasty vodka gimlet...which not a lot of places can do. Great location right on the water w seating inside and out. If you're looking for a nice place for an amazing meal...this is it!!

Grouper sandwich w/veggies
Danielle M.

Family came here for our last meal before heading back home and we love it here. Large food menu with seafood, chicken, salads, etc. we love the outdoor space and sitting on the patio by the boats. Service is also always great! Fast and friendly.

It's been quite some time since I've been back here, so time for an update. Came here for my friend Lisa's birthday lunch and I was excited to try it out again and hang out by their pool. It's definitely a unique experience to have lunch and a swimming pool at the same place. Coming on a Thursday was great. The pool was relaxing, the water was warm, & the server by the pool was very helpful and made sure everyone was taken care of. That was def the best part. We had a frozona blue drink which was very refreshing and an ice cream sundae. Lunch time, we came right when they first opened at 11. We were the first one there and it quickly filled up. We ordered a ribeye with fries and a crab soup. They were quite enjoyable. Our inside service wasn't great compared to outside. As soon as we would have a question, our server was walking away and it was difficult to track her down for anything. We were deciding upon getting the pineapple creme brûlée for dessert, but we knew that would take forever, so changed our mind. I think 3.5 star average for this restaurant is pretty accurate. I can't do half stars and I would if I could bc the server at the pool was much friendlier and helpful. It was my friend's birthday and I'm glad that we had a good time nevertheless.

Grilled grouper sandwich with really delicious potato salad - taste as good as homemade!

I was so surprised with Yelp only had this restaurant at 3.6 star. Kara was a wonderful waitress, both patient and knowledgeable. I had the 1 pound peel and eat shrimp hot with butter, my sister's had the fried grouper sandwich and the grilled grouper sandwich and both were fabulous, and we shared a large wedge salad with shrimp which was delicious - all so amazing. I love the fact they have valet parking, and the views of the they were beautiful. It's a very likely place with both inside air-conditioning seating, outside fan seating, and cabana seating. Such and enjoyable lunch!

Shrimp scampi linguine
Michelle P.

This was my first time at Ozona after I had heard it recommended many times. They had a good wine list and a great menu. I had the shrimp scampi linguine and it was enough for dinner that night +2 to 3 leftover meals. It was just a really solid pasta dish with excellent sauce and the shrimp was done perfectly.

Risotto & shrimp toast
Julia P.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the area. Fresh food, friendly staff with a clean area. They have a pool and hot tub for you to jump in and have a drink by a pool or just dine and enjoy the marina view. Valet parking is available or you can park yourself. Tons of seating and everything I've ever had has been amazing. Good pours and great flavor

Appetizer - Fire Cracker Shrimp ( 14.90 @ 10-23-2025 )
Braden W.

As some other recent reviewers have reported your experience may vary. Front desk staff was friendly, bar staff where we sat to eat and drink seemed to only care about certain guests. My brothers have been here alot and couldn't stop singing their praises but the night we went was a completely different experience. We practically had to do a dance on the bar to get attention to get another drink. (they are not cheap) I was drinking the best vodka they had on site on the rox so a pretty easy drink and i was only able to get one since i couldn't get anyone's attention. One of my brothers was drinking wine and getting about a 2/3rd pour compared to some other people at the bar. Then someone wanted to watch something on the TV and paired their phone to it with some dang bright hockey game they were not paying attention too blinding you at the bar. The food was absolutely stellar so if you feel like getting agrivated but having some tasty food i guess you could risk it here. Good Luck Player One!

Flat bread
Victor B.

Would give 2,5 stars if possible. We ordered calamari, but had more fried onion than calamari. Beers and wines are served in plastic cups Server didn't know the drafts they had, ordered Stella and yengling, both weren't cold enough. Food was good tough, but service bad, needed to beg to our server to come to our table.

Mahi Mahi with no rue (not GF) and Gluten Free fries.
dl c.

Im torn on this one. We've gone to Ozona Blue a few times, and most of the time it's great. Last night was definitely different, and unfortunately, we've watched it trending toward a downward spiral IN SERVICE the last few times we've gone. We generally go of lunch and I usually get the Mediterranean Salad with grilled chicken. Ive always been impressed that they can cook the chicken properly and it's never dry. My husband orders different items and also enjoys them. Last night we went for dinner. As usual, the atmosphere is always enjoyable and they have live music outside. It wasnt too hot out and the inside is SO SO LOUD, that we choose to sit outside. When we were seated we asked the hostess if their was live music and she said no, then sat us at the far deck.....NEXT TO THE MUSICIAN, lololol. Our waitress seemed to have too many tables. She was very unhappy and robotic, and I dont think she wanted to be at work. She wasnt snappy or rude, just didnt seem to like her job or have enough time to "serve" us. She greeted us with menus and asked what we wanted to drink. We asked for water while we look at the drink menu. It was a beautiful night, the weather was nice and the music was lovely so we were going to have a nice cocktail and enjoy our time. she returned awhile later with waters, put them down then quickly turned and left, HAHA!!! She did not even give us a chance to order it was so abrupt and unexpected. But we sat and waited....again, nice night. We watched as she did this same thing to other tables, set things down and ran before anyone could ask for anything else, I guess. (I think she had too many tables, so grace) Finally got some drinks after about 15 mins, yeah, it was a nice night and the music was good. My dirty Martini was perfection, though. Nice and cold and the perfect measure of dirty. Hubby had Spicy margarita, small but good. When she came back for our food order, we asked what kind of oysters they had...they didnt have any. Bummer, it was the main reason we chose Ozona Blue...it was a nice night and the music and Martini was good. I told her I was Gluten Intolerant and it looked like I could order the Mahi Mahi with sun dried tomatoes and artichokes. She agreed and said the only Gluten Free side that I could have were the French Fries, to which I was fine with. Hubby ordered the "short rib dinosaur bone" haha, yes thats what it's called so he couldnt resist. The food runner came with our food and put mine down saying that they had to put the rue on the side because it was NOT gluten free. You know...the artichoke, sun dried tomato part....the reason I ordered the Mahi Mahi....which my waitress failed to mention! So I had a PLAIN grilled fish and French Fries. I asked the runner for some lemon at least and he was kind enough to offer tartar sauce. Nice night....good music...good martini....dont let the lack of care of service get me upset and ruin it...it's just fish. To my delight, the Mahi Mahi was cooked perfectly! A fish which is usually dry and boring was actually very moist and seasoned well, and the tartar sauce and lemon helped add flavor layer. so. My husbands Dinosaur bone was well flavored and tender, but its a very fatty meat so he didnt like the amount of inedible fat there was. Still enjoyed it. I never saw our waitress again after she took our food order. We ate and then decided we'd go inside and have another cocktail at the bar, so I left while hubby waited for the check. Had she returned at any point, I might have mentioned to her that she did failed to tell me the MahiMahi rue was NOT gluten free, and I was thankful the chef, at least, was paying attention. Thats not an oversight one should be careless about. My hubby finally made it inside to the bar and we enjoyed a second cocktail. It was a nice night, the music was good, the martini was perfection, and the fish was moist.

Stuffed grouper with a side of mushroom risotto
Mia K.

Went to dinner on a Saturday evening. Dined outside with the heaters keeping the chill away. A band was playing closer to the water area. It was a nice addition to a good evening meal. The food was great. One meal was surf and turf with mushroom risotto and asparagus on the side. The other meal was the stuffed grouper. Both meals were very good. However, the grouper was a bit over cooked but still good. The service was slow & we were not very attended to as we had to find another server just to refill the drinks after a long wait. Otherwise, a great place to enjoy a well cooked meal.

This place is absolutely adorable…read more I think this street is the perfect place to hit up a couple restaurants for a progressive dinner. A lot of the restaurants are closed for lunch though, which is how we ended up here. It's a lot larger than it looks. There's a really cute covered outdoors area in the back with a stage for performances. There were only a few diners there for lunch on a Friday so it was easy to grab a spot. I got a skinny strawberry margarita, it made me happy to see a skinny version of a flavored margarita on the menu. It has a sugar rim and was delicious. It's on the sweet side and I'd definitely get it again. I requested it without soda water. For my main I got the salmon bowl. I wouldn't get this again, but it's because the base is mainly fried wontons. I thought it would be a scattering of fried wontons but nope, it was a hefty portion. I didn't eat most of the fried wontons because I'm trying to be healthy. It's a delicious dish, just not for me. Service was great, but we were an easy table because we were chatting the entire time. I enjoyed our meal here, so we will definitely be back!

BE CAREFUL NOT DOUBLE TIP! 20% Automatically for Crappy service!…read more This place used to be great but has fallen off the map. They have cut some many corner then what it used to be. The buffalo chicken sandwich barely comes with any sauce and the blu cheese dressing is mayonnaise with some blu cheese in it. The waiters and staff are less than par because they have put an automatic 20% tip so why work hard. Waited 30 minutes to order, took 28 minutes to get food and 25 minutes for a check with no one to check on us and the food. They spend most of the time on their phones. CINDA should not be running this place. She has no management skills as she screens across the bar to the sushi chef like a dried out scagg!

Had a great time dining at The Restorative in Dunedin. This is such a perfect date night spot…read more Everything we ordered was amazing and you can really tell how much care goes into each dish. We even got to meet the owner who is also the chef. Super cool guy and very welcoming which made the experience feel extra special. We sat at the bar seating where you can watch the kitchen in action and it made the night even more fun. It kind of gave me Rooster & the Till vibes with the open kitchen energy and intimate setup. They serve wine and beer only which honestly fits the cozy and thoughtfully curated feel of the place really well. Great food great atmosphere and a unique dining experience overall. I would absolutely come back again and highly recommend it if you are looking for something a little different in Dunedin. What I ordered: - house made naan bread - chicken veloute, potato tortellini, carmalized onions, egg yolk (gives only 1 tortellini. Wish they added more) - ricotta gnocchi, brown butter, sage, prosciutto - beef short rib, mushroom and onion tart, parsnip, black garlic (really good!! must order!!)

I've come here twice. It's located in a not-so-great strip mall…read more It has a very small menu and I feel like everything is pre-cooked or maybe par-cooked and they just finish it at the restaurant (no big kitchen). When I sat at the bar I saw them pulling the food out of plastic containers in the fridge and warming it back up. The portions are small and the prices high, so come knowing that. That said, the food has always tasted good. The service was okay. My biggest issue, I tried to come eat here with my pre-teen kids once after a sports game they played and was asked multiple times if I was sure this was the place I wanted to come. Did they think I can't afford it? Did they not want my kids in the restaurant? And on that note, the food is not kid-friendly really.

Perfect Birthday Night at The Black Pearl…read more My husband took me to The Black Pearl for my birthday, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt special--elegant but comfortable, the kind of place that makes you feel like you're celebrating something important (because we were!). The service was outstanding--attentive without being overbearing--and the staff truly made the evening feel memorable. Our meals were phenomenal, beautifully prepared, and worth every bite. It was one of those dinners where you're already planning what you want to order next time before you've even finished your plate. Between the incredible food, wonderful service, and getting to spend the evening with my favorite person, it was exactly how I wanted to celebrate my birthday. The Black Pearl helped turn a special night into a truly unforgettable one. Highly recommend for celebrations, date nights, or anytime you want an exceptional dining experience. We'll definitely be back!

Came in for anniversary dinner and had a terrific experience at The Black Pearl. Restaurant itself…read moreis very small and intimate but not cramped. We were seated and taken care of by a fantastic waiter. We opted for wine and sparkling by the glass and the sommelier was able to provide some good recommendations and even provided some insight on the region of the wines. Waiter explained the menu which was à la carte but included bread, their Black Pearl Salad , and a palate cleanser before the main entree. The food was prepared and spaced out perfectly so you did not feel rushed or waiting at any point during the experience. From start to finish, it ended up being around 1 hour and 45 minutes which is a good range for a fine dining experience for 2. Our food order as followed: Hors d'oeuvres - Pork belly rillettes Bread (included) - Potato bread with garlic herb olive oil Starter - Pate of Foie Gras Salad (included) - Black Pearl Salad Entremet (included) - Watermelon Jalapeño popsicle Entrees - White truffle lobster risotto , Hereford filet mignon Dessert - Tarte Tatin with side of vanilla ice cream Everything was absolutely amazing and the execution and technique was perfect. If I did have a complaint (if you can call it that) was the choice of using a watermelon and jalapeño popsicle as a palate cleanser. The taste was amazing but it may be too aggressive in flavor prior to an entree. Putting my fake chefs hat on, I would have gone with a similar concept but using watermelon and maybe a yuzu citrus for a palate cleanser. Amazing experience, amazing food and presentation, amazing staff. 5/5. If you are in the Tampa Bay Area and you are looking for a true fine dining experience, check out The Black Pearl.
