    Caramel cheesecake

    The food used to be amazing, until the last time we went. The Mac and cheese that was served to me was ice cold, like it had been sitting there for a while. When I sent it back, I finished my steak waiting for a new one, didn't get the Mac and cheese until about 10-15 mins later and all they did was microwave it. Gross and unacceptable for the price.

    We were working for a nice restaurant to meet some friends visiting the area while also bringing together other friends who live in Clearwater. I remembered this spot from when it was Green Springs. This bistro is terrific - it has the perfect mix of options for brunch. Would look forward to trying it for dinner. The food was still great and the service was fast and friendly. We didn't over indulge. We just enjoyed a Fried Green Tomato BLT and BLT Benedict - crispy potatoes on the side were divine. Love the setting of the restaurant - it's in a repurposed bungalow. We also sat in the front of the restaurant - it's bright and cheery and quiet - would definitely recommend this spot if you can snag it. The atmosphere in other parts of the restaurant are cozy too - but this spot feels very quiet, even though it's upfront and next to the front door. Would love to come back for another visit. Bonus is getting to visit the market on Sunday right afterwards!

    Our Favorite Safety Harbor Restaurant! Food and Service is always amazing! Went for brunch for Mothers day and sat outside, it was a lovely experience!

    We've lived in SH 5 1/2 years and never ate here. We stopped by on a third Friday in March. They were booked and they took reservations. Somebody in line said they drove up from Sarasota to eat here so we soon realize this was a place to try. We tried it tonight and found a buried treasure. The food was amazing, our server was great. The way the place is set up, in an old house is very cozy and cool. It's not your typical restaurant where it feels like you're eating in a warehouse. This is a new (to use) safety harbor gem we will return to. Probably for a weekend brunch! Please take the time to view the bathroom pics. You can tell everything about a restaurant by its bathroom.

    We finally checked out The Kitchen and it was a total hit! First and foremost, the food was absolutely awesome. I highly recommend the brussels sprouts appetizer, everyone in our party loved them. Everything we ordered was fresh and full of flavor. To top it off, the waitstaff was absolutely fantastic. They were funny, engaging, and really made the whole experience feel special. Be sure to read through some of the notes written in the "guest book" you get when signing your check! The space is pretty small, so you'll probably need reservations to snag a spot. It's also very fairly priced for the quality you're getting.

    Great experience! Waiter was very friendly and did a great job! The espresso martini was great. The crab eggs Benedict was phenomenal! Cooked perfectly and great flavor. The food here is super good. The only thing I would like to see would be a breakfast menu for kids as the kids menu is more lunch/dinner based. Other than that this place is super cute, love the outdoor seating options too.

    Dinner last night was amazing. Great drinks, food and service. We had the deconstructed deviled eggs, filet and the lamb. The feta grits are a must try!

    Espresso martini and tiramisu martini

    Service was not the best. It started off with the host. The host didn't even smile and she looked extremely lost. We told her we had a reservation and she just was looking like we asked her to solve an extremely difficult math problem. No "welcome in" or anything. What really threw me off was the server. Her name was Abigail. Me and my friend asked her a couple times what was good on the menu and all she did was walk away. Yes, WALKED AWAY. Every single time we ask her a question all she responded with was "okay thank you" and walked away. It was like speaking to a wall. The only saving grace of this place is that they have good food and their drinks are pretty strong.

    Stopped in for breakfast and had such a wonderful experience. Our server was incredibly kind, and everything flowed seamlessly from being seated right away to receiving our food and drinks without any wait. The atmosphere inside was cozy and charming, making it the perfect spot to start the day. The food was excellent. The breakfast tacos were flavorful, but the shrimp and grits truly stole the show, easily some of the best I've ever had. Free street parking was available all around and easy to find, even on the weekend, which made the visit even more convenient. I'll definitely be coming back!

    I've been wanting to try out this place for well over a year, and I finally made the trip down to the kitchen. I'm almost upset I waited so long to try this place out because everything was wonderful from the food to the service. My husband had the lamb and it was so tender that it came easily off the bone. I had the red fish which was equally delicious. We finished off the evening with a decadent s'mores bread pudding. My only critique was that the orzo with the fish could have used a tad more seasoning. But overall, I look forward to coming back.

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!

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.

Was driving by on a Saturday night as I was waiting for this place to open for a while. To my surprise I rolled up in my golf cart and the patio was packed! My son and I got a table out back and ordered a few things. We ended up sharing a 3 meat platter with pulled pork, chicken and sausage. All 3 were amazing. The sides we chose were the beans and potato wedges which were perfectly crispy and delicious. I was super impressed that on day 1 of a soft opening that everything came out great, service was good and everyone around seemed happy. I only can imagine after they get their groove on a bit that this place will get better and better over time. Our server Ted was amazing and was very attentive and busy! Inside they ended up replacing the old bar that was in there in favor of an along the wall style with plenty of chairs. Additionally I would think eventually they will have some inside tables as well. Restaurant wasn't all the way together yet but I'm not going to fault them for anything as it was a soft opening. All in all this is a 5 star review for a much needed BBQ place that also has a hint of BBQ places that were in the Harbor before and can't wait to see how this place does! Thank you United Smokehouse!

The location is a block back from Main Street and it's a cool little spot. We have had the same waiter as we did when this was coastal cantina and when we ate at southern fresh. Same owner I believe. He is the only waiter I remember having more than twice on Main Street which is really cool. I give props to the owners for this. The food is really good. The location is great. I gave it 4 stars out of 5 because they really need to add a few items. Like pulled chicken, Mac and cheese and Cole slaw. Also 4 potato wedges as a side is kinda ridiculous. Aside from that, all good. It's nice to have smoked meat back in the harbor.
