Clear Sky Cafe

We found this gem while on vacation in Clearwater, FL, and it quickly became our go-to spot for breakfast and brunch. Every meal we had was absolutely delicious, and the waitresses were so friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. The atmosphere is incredibly relaxing a beautiful view and only about a mile from the beach, so it felt calm, breezy, and perfect for slow mornings. We tried the lobster roll, lobster eggs Benedict with fries, and sushi roll , hush puppies, grilled steak and fries , chicken and rice and everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. This place became part of our routine while we were there, and I’d definitely return on our next trip. Highly recommend for a laid-back, satisfying brunch experience! ☀️🍽️ As you can see we did visit here three times while on vacation on the different meals we had. I would definitely return when I visit this area again.

We had a really great dining experience for our family. The ahi tuna nachos were so interesting, and the main courses were excellent too. Everything tasted super fresh. We were lucky enough to go during happy hour, so everything was half price. I grabbed a few draft beers, and it was perfect. I really like the atmosphere, the servers are so chill, and you feel it too – you just start relaxing yourself. That's exactly the kind of vibe you need on vacation. I definitely plan on going back.

Busy locale with an amazing diverse menu. It can be quite busy, but both times we were seated efficient and received great service. We dined here a few days ago and returned because we had had a great experience. We all ordered the tuna poke bowl this time. It was fresh and delicious. Arielle, our congenial server, went above and beyond. She was fun and accommodating. I believe Travis served us last time and he did a great job as well.

Absolutely fantastic! Came here every night of my vacation so far. The food is so delicious! They had live music both nights which was a huge plus. And the staff treated us like family. We definitely got a picture in their big chair outside - it’s now a must when we visit there. The staff really seemed to enjoy working there, which showed what a great place it really is. I will come back any time I’m in Clearwater! 10/10 recommend.

This location is a Cafe setting and very cozy. It's a quick walk from the beach hotels. FYI THEY DO have a kids menu, even though its not listed on the website. It has 6 high quality items perfect for littles. I am glad I decided to chance it. Dean was my waiter he was pleasant, knowledgable and quick service. I had my toddler with me so speed of service is essential! I started with the crispy tuna. It was crunchy and had a little heat. Exactly what I wanted. For my main I tried the new grouper reuben. This is fresh catch and blackened. It was a big filet with fresh ingredients. The sandwich is AMAZING. This is my new favorite sandwich in Clearwater. I will probably get this app and main combo every time. Management should update the online menu becaue no kids menu will cause people to miss out on this amazing food!

Impressive breakfast, good value and atmosphere Food - massive selection of breakfast items and all were good portions. Eggs perfectly cooked and pancakes light and fluffy. Mexican skillet had a nice spice to it - would recommend. Service - order was taken promptly and servers were friendly with the kids (Halloween colouring was given out). Coffees were refilled quickly and food arrived hot and with not much wait. Atmosphere - we went for breakfast at 730, was quiet to start with but soon filled up. Good mix of people and nice atmosphere. Would recommend for a meal to anyone visiting Clearwater.

The hostess was very accommodating to seat us outside and they had heaters!!! Kudos to the chef because the food was amazing in all aspects. We ordered two gluten free pizza that was amazing. Didn’t taste pasty or cardboard like at all! Or soggy!! It was fresh and tasted like a brick oven pizza! The Chilean sea bass was cooked to perfection and the rice and asparagus. The birthday girl had multiple allergies and the restaurant took it really serious to flag it, it was cute and funny! Her dish was amazing. She had the scallop and shrimp dish with the catch of the day and “ Australian Sea bass” which was amazing!!! Leah was our server and she took great care of us!!! Very attentive! Original rice had butter in it and it was an allergy and we request sushi rice instead. Leah placed a candle and written out “happy birthday” in it, turkey went above and beyond!!! Definitely a must try if you’re in Clearwater!!!!

What a great place to visit while strolling the beach side. Thankfully we had a reservation!! Clear Sky was booming. The atmosphere was very classy and inviting. The food was tasty and delicious! The menu had everything from burgers to salad to sushi! I hope to be back soon!

Tasty. Very tasty! And service was pleasant and helpful. Would definitely recommend to locals as well as visitors.

Ate breakfast there. The food was really good and the service was friendly and fast! Go early, though. It's small and busy. (Confirmation of the goodness of the experience!) This place is a keeper!

The breakfast is great. The prime rib was awful. Awful awful, waste of money I would eat breakfast here again but def no steak dinners after that experience

My family and I recently dined here, and our experience was beyond amazing. We chose to sit at an outside table under an umbrella, which provided a lovely atmosphere for our meal. The service was exceptional, thanks to our sweet and attentive server from Pennsylvania (I wish I could remember her name!). She ensured we had everything we needed throughout our visit. I started with a strawberry mimosa, which was delightful. A quick tip for those sitting outside: the heat can get to your drink, so don't hesitate to ask for some ice if you need it. For my main course, I ordered the lobster omelette, and it was phenomenal. The portion of lobster in the omelette was perfect, and it was cooked to perfection. The grits that came with it were equally fantastic. Our son had two eggs with cheese, grits, and sausage, and he devoured his meal. My husband ordered the Huevos Rancheros, which he described as very satisfying. He says it had the flavor that he was expecting in a Latin genre of breakfast. Overall, our experience here was wonderful, and we will definitely be returning the next time we're in Clearwater. Highly recommended!

Perfect find on Yelp. We were visiting Orlando with extended family for summer vacation but a few beach bums in the party needed some beach access so we headed to Clearwater. Yelp led us to this spot and it checked all of the boxes. Natalie was a breath of fresh air and super kind. A Pear mimosa started my brunch experience. I'm not quite sure it was pear versus pomegranate but it was good. It was hard to choose which seafood omelette to get with all of the amazing options. I landed on the Lobster omelette and I couldn't have been happier. The amount of chunks of lobster in that omelette was ridiculous! It was probably one of the best omelettes I've ever had. I don't eat grits but something said try the smoked Gouda grits. The one who doesn't like grits could barely stop eating them. I had the English muffin, too, and it was good. Perfect spot to try when in the area!

Started with a strawberry mimosa and hot coffee. Scrambled eggs (cheese was forgotten), sausage, bacon (which was forgotten also), a side of potato wedges and chocolate chip pancakes. The pancakes were crispy. Food was overall basic diner food

Wanted to find a good restaurant before we set off for our sunset cruise in the gulf. Search out this restaurant on you guessed it, yelp started with the tuna nachos and the char grilled octopus both good appetizer to start. Grill tuna and sushi bowl as well as the braised short rib for the entrees. Entrees were all good my braised short rib was very tender and seasoned well. Not sure I would've paired the gnocchi pasta with the braised rib.

We're back! I absolutely love this diner. Came back here to Clearwater Florida for Phillies spring training and was so excited to come back to this cafe. Ordered the lobster omelette and a coffee and it was so delicious. Our server was so nice and attentive. We always get great service here at this cafe. We were seated outside and the weather was beautiful while enjoying the food. Vibes were just amazing here. I'm definitely going to be taking advantage of coming to this place a lot before heading back to Philly. Highly recommend!!!!!

No complaints. No additions. Just order. Very refreshing mimosa and this entree is light and perfect for heading to the beach afterwards. Loaded with lobster! Our waitress was so bomb!

Came on a Saturday early afternoon for breakfast. We waited around 15-20 mins for a table. It wasn't too bad of a wait. This place was perfect. Although it didn't have an ocean view it was right near the beach. It has kind of a diner vibe with plenty of seating inside and a few outside. The food was delicious. I pretty much finished my whole meal and left no crumbs. The wait staff was amazing and so friendly. I would definitely come back to this place again.

Nice little spot. We sat in the outdoor covered patio since it was very nice out. The service was decent even though the server was hard to find towards the end, I believe because his shift was ending. The food was good. We had - Lobster Omelette - Chunks of Maine lobster and spinach, topped with mornay sauce. I added avocado to it. This was delicious and fresh. Generous portion of lobster. I ordered the homestyle potatoes for my side which were delicious. 4/5 ($18 + $2.95 for the avocado, uncharge was a bit steep) Cinnamon Bun French Toast - Homemade cinnamon bun dipped in egg batter. WOW These were awesome and definitely worth a try. Very indulgent but also delicious, completely worth the excess calories. We split one as dessert and still had left overs for later. 5/5 ($13.00) I also tried some of their steak and eggs which were not great. The steak didn't taste like it was very fresh, I feel like it might have been frozen. I enjoyed our visit. I would recommend trying them out if you're in the area.

We sat at the bar for brunch and were taken care of superbly. Food was excellent. Prices were great. The ambiance was lively, but not overwhelmingly so. We'd been here once before and they were just as excellent. I always recommend it when asked.

Overall this was a solid spot to eat in Clearwater. First day I had Lobster ravioli and it was good. Had a lot of lobster pieces too so that was a plus. Had a good experience so went back the next day and got the chicken bacon club sandwich and that was just okay. Chicken was pretty dry and bacon had a slight burnt flavor to it. However the coleslaw on the side was interesting. Service was decent.

Omg so good. Had huevos rancheros. Eggs cooked perfectly on a tortilla Potatoes were nicely done. They take give a bunch of toppings to put on the eggs and potato's which was nice. Also got eggs Benedict. They were pretty near perfect.

Labor Day stay-cation brunch. Got there a little early at 10:30; no wait for a table of two. The vibes are nicer diner heavily flavored with "Florida vacation", with colorful sea turtle artwork hanging, and the shadows of palm trees silhouetted over the window blinds. I had the gulf coast omelette and boy was it loaded; mahi, shrimp, crab, scallops, spinach, and tomatoes topped with a creamy white sauce. They did not skimp on the seafood, especially impressive at the low price point. I upgraded my side from potatoes to fruit, a pro play which really brightened up the meal. The biggest standout of the meal was the biscuit. Honestly I hadn't planned on eating it. One bite just out of curiosity and j was hooked. The biscuit was so perfectly buttery, just a little salty, and a hint of crispy. Amazing. My wife's veggie Benedict with a side of potatoes scratched the Benedict itch that she'd been having. I thought the hollandaise sauce was very well balanced. Our server was friendly and prompt without hovering. Prices were lower than one would expect for a popular spot with high quality food in a tourist locale. Bonus points for a small lot with free parking. We would definitely come back for brunch if we're ever in the neighborhood again.

We ate breakfast here both days of our visit. Everything from the staff, to the food was great. Prices are really good too! Not so much of a "tourist trap". They have indoor and outdoor seating. Both are very nice. We will have to try lunch there sometime!

Food was very tasty and the price was appropriate. They have nice outdoor seating that isn't in direct sunlight. We walked past this place in previous years but after reading, good reviews, we decided to try it. We will no longer walk past it in the coming years. It's a great local spot. We asked two different people where we should have lunch and both of them recommended this place so we thought we would give it a shot! We had the tuna melt, and the buttermilk chicken sandwich grilled. The french fries had great texture with a nice crunch. Would go again, maybe even this week!

On my flight to Tampa, I was sitting next to two women. One was on her first flight & the other lived in Tampa. The young lady traveling for the 1st time was also coming to enjoy her birthday. We were strongly advised to check out Clear Sky Cafe. I have to say, I am glad I listened to her suggestions . The service was fantastic and the food was delicious. I definitely recommend this location.

Love this place they have awesome lunch specials too. The insides, a little bit more classy in the area that is in the back is much more casual.. huge bar. They even have limited outside seating.- parking sucks though

My husband took me here for dinner while we were in town for the day! Clear Sky has a few different locations in the Clearwater area, but this location in particular is off of Mandalay near the pier and beach. A good thing I noticed right away is there were several items on the menu that sounded really great, so it made it difficult for me to decide what to try! Thankfully our server was very patient with me lol. After taking some time to go over the menu I opted for an espresso martini to drink (dark is the best way to enjoy), the wagyu/kobe sliders which had Brie cheese & jalapeño onion jam on it! Instead of sticking with the usual fries as a side I subbed it out for their lobster Mac! The sliders were the perfect size and just what I needed to fill up! The Brie and onion jam paired together perfectly as well! Surprisingly the lobster Mac had a crispy layer on top and was very tasty! My husband ordered the pan seared grouper with lemon risotto which was to die for. This was such a great experience for a restaurant that was chosen by guessing! Next time we are at the beach we will be back to try out some more items!

Clear sky remains in our rotation of places to eat. We try to check out a new place weekly but we still keep coming back to Clear sky because of their consistent quality food, excellent service and frankly amazing happy hour prices. When feeling tight on the budget a 1/2 price flatbread, a few 9oz pours if house wine and walk out after tip with less than $20 bill is unheard of these days. Also their brunch is excellent with their bloody mary bar where you can have your bloody mary your way with options galore.

Nice locals spot but also touristy. The service is great. I was here for both lunch and dinner a couple of times. I have sat at a table and at the bar, both time service was very consistent. The food is great, if you are looking for a sandwich or an entree you can't go wrong. Seafood lovers like myself will appreciate the local selections. Honorabke mention for their seafood grill entree.

The dynamite shrimp were perfect for an appetizer! I totally forgot to take a photo because after the first bite, I couldn't stop from going back in for another one. The Ahi salad was amazing! The dressing is sweet but savory at the same time- delicious! The ramen bowl was pretty great as well! I did ask for the chili crisps to be on the side instead of in the bowl, and I'm glad I did. That chili crisp added a different level of spice! The soy sauce egg in this bowl was my favorite part about it! Our bartender, Nick, was so nice and chatty. He made us feel so welcomed and made great suggestions. There was a band on the patio so go if you are looking for a great time to dance and be social. Went back the next day for lunch as well- did not disappoint.

4++ Food & Drinks - Starting with a Bloody Mary and loaded it up with everything. Really good and almost a meal in itself. We had heard the French toast was good so we went with the pecan French toast and the cinnamon bun French toast. The pecan was very good really well done with candied pecans and a nice cinnamon butter. The cinnamon bun French toast was amazing. Doesn't need syrup to make it great. It is a sweet, rich and melt in your mouth bite after bite. Service - Server was good and checked on us from time to time. Had a little bit of a wait for brunch but with the quality of food, I can understand. Ambiance - It has a nice balance of inside and outside seating. Very clean and a little more upscale than some other restaurants along the beach. I would definitely recommend and would probably go back to try some of the omelets or other popular dishes.

I was out on the beach for work and needed a quick dinner so I ordered carry out on their website which was so easy and was ready pretty quick. The mushroom soup is so creamy and tasty! I also enjoy the crab hush puppies. I have eaten here for breakfast as well and never had a bad meal or service. Small bar area, indoor and outdoor seating. They have a kids menu. Limited parking and a block off the beach. Enjoy!!

Really wanted to give this place 5 stars. Unfortunately their menu is misleading and we weren't the only party who came in and ordered something that is no longer on the menu. Other than that, the food we did receive was delicious.

On recommendations came here for dinner on Mother's day. Although busy the staff moved quickly to find us the perfect table that was not too close to the music but still outside under the patio cover. The server was very friendly and had good drink recommendations- the prickly pear margarita was a unique specialty cocktail and good. The bruschetta was light and refreshing and made for a great appetizer. The grilled seafood came out perfect, with tasty vegetables and rice on the side. They didn't skimp on the seafood and everything was well portioned. The music was a comfortable noise level and there was a mix of patrons there, usually a good sign, and had relaxed beach vibes. It's been a while since I've been able to give a five star review.. so it was nice to find a place with consistency all around. Though we were too full for dessert we look forward to returning here on our next trip.

Avocado toast and left coast omelet...excellent! Service always wonderful and bloody marys look amazing...

It's not a bad place at all. Nice selection on the menu and a nice vibe. I was a little dissatisfied with the breakfast skillet bowl because the eggs came scrambled. I wasn't given a choice, and I do not recall the menu saying it came that way. I may try something else next time.

A fun friendly place to hang out with delicious food and sometimes entertainment ... menu offers something a good variety with something that would appeal to most people.

Located just off the beach near the Sand Pearl resort this little place is always good. I'd eaten enough fish this trip and so I went with the burger. It was cooked perfectly and the fries were nice and crispy. My iced tea was always refilled without me having to ask which was much appreciated.

I'm a regular at this location and love their food and great service. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating options or you can sit at the bar. The brunch menu has something for everyone and prices to fit your budget. Great customer service. There is plenty of parking in the back entrance.

This place is always hopping but we were able to get a seat inside without a wait. It is very loud but clean and classy. Our server Rick was outstanding, he gets five stars--very helpful and attentive. My husband had a hazy IPA draft and I had a fruity mojito. We ordered the ahi tuna nachos for our appetizer. The wontons were light and airy, it was delicious but needed a lot more sriracha aioli and was not as good as Salty's. My husband ordered the Thai peanut pasta but sent it back because the pasta was wayyyyy over cooked and mushy. He ended up with a pizza instead and it was incredible. So so delicious! I had the blacked mixed grill. The snapper, shrimp, and scallops were good but also a smidge overcooked. Still yummy though--but the best thing on my plate was the jasmine rice--it was cooked perfectly. All in all, the best part of our experience was Rick, our server. We might come back for breakfast but we probably wouldn't for dinner--unless it was for pizza. So our recommendation is order the pizza.

Uh wow. Came here post beach and they were so genuinely kind and happy to get us dinner. My teenager declared the pork ramen as "life changing." The portion size was enough to share and we all agreed - ramen is fire! The Mandalay Chicken was perfection - veggies were perfectly seasoned and cooked. The chicken was tender and Brie sauce on top with cooked spinach... I think I need to use words from another language to express the deliciousness. Our table also ordered the Clear Sky sushi roll, kids grilled cheese, the cheese flatbread and Fried Rice bowl. The only "complaint" - we wished there was more! (But seriously portion sizes were great). Truly worth all the other 5-star reviews. And if you like ramen- do it!!!!!

Had breakfast at this place on our summer vacation. Staff were friendly, quick seating. Highly recommended the beignets with berries. Will return for another breakfast.

The brisket brussel sprouts are the bomb! The wings were pretty good too. My husband had the grouper tacos, he said they weren't very flavorful, but for the most part the food is very good. The hostesses needed some training on charm, but our server was very nice. The dining area was comfortable. We like Clear Sky!

Stopped in for post sunset dinner Sunday. Greeted and seated quickly. Mad Dog Maddy was our server and we couldn't have been more pleased. Accommodating and funny. Wife had the 6 oz fillet with "baked" potato and asparagus. I had the pork dumpling appetizer and for meal I had the clear sky roll with side of broccoli Steak cooked perfectly. Wife enjoyed it. Potatoes weren't what she expected. Not bad just wasn't advertised as "twice baked". Not a game changer. We were surprised to hear that adding sour cream was $2. Again. Not a big deal just awareness. Clear sky roll was hands down the best roll I have had in last 5 years. Shrimp and spicy tuna etc. pork dumplings come with 3 dipping sauces. Spicy, hoisin based and a peanut sauce. All very good. Pork was seasoned well. To die for. Service is the key and Mad Dog made it great. Thank her for us We will be back.

Very friendly service and food was good! The outside section was the perfect combo of inside and outside for those hot Florida days.

They say you eat with your eyes get ready for a delicious meal I have never been to a tourist area where everyone seems so happy at work Inside or covered patio seating. Nice breeze from the beach Had a stuffed breakfast burrito ! With fresh potatoes Service was perfect! Quick friendly

Cute little spot in Clearwater for Mother's Day brunch did not disappoint! We had a 9:30 reservation and had a short wait to be seated, which is understandable given the holiday weekend. We had a nice table outside and got lucky with some clouds in the sky, making it a perfect backdrop for our brunch. We ordered the beignets with fresh fruit for the table. They were plenty to go around and their flakiness didn't disappoint us. The meat lovers omelette was also a fan favorite, with large chunks of bacon, ham, and sausage, although the cheese was a bit lacking. Overall a great experience and would head back there when we are back in town!

Great atmosphere!!! Food was well prepared and looked good on the plate. Not too little or too much. Staff was friendly and prompt. Will definitely be stopping again!

This is the Clearwater Beach location. It was nice. We sat outside on the patio. The food is decent. The service was fine.

My favorite food place during our family trip! Great brunch and drinks during the day and amazing singers/bands at night. Service was also fast after getting a table, space is small, but worth the crowd!

Servings are record breaking tiny. Ordered grits and it was gone in four bites. Ordered a waffle and it was gone in 6 bites. I am 175lbs and don't eat large portions so it was fine for me but I don't think it was good or worth $18 after tip and taxes. Actually already hungry which is very rare for me. If u eat a lot of food expect to pay $60 to $100 per person is my guess.

Really excellent food with an unusual and eclectic menu. The atmosphere was very Beach, Island and not crowded together.

Stopped by when in town. Breakfast here is great. Large selection. Great staff. The french toast was great. Large amount so make sure to ask for less.

Have eaten here many times. Always try something different and I am always pleased with my meal. They also make great pizza. Give it a try.

Clear Sky is always a go to when in Clearwater Beach! Whether it's a weekend brunch or dinner it never disappoints. The beach ambience outside and dark wood inside makes this place as casual or romantic as you could want. There has been good live music when I have been.. The staff always pleasant and knowledgeable of the menu. It had been a while since we had been, the menu was extensive with wide variety of for any tastes. We started with the Brussel sprouts with bacon, goat cheese and balsamic, oh my they were perfectly crispy with crispy bacon and a couple dollops of goat cheese, yum yum! I had the Pan Seared Grouper with risotto and spinach, and husband enjoyed a big bowl of the Seafood Jambalaya both were perfectly cooked and delicious with generous portions. After dinner we walked just a few yards and saw another beautiful sunset

Awesome place. Stopped for breakfast on our way to Anna Maria Island this morning. Food was excellent with a selection for all tastes. Ambiance was great with a beach vibe but the topper was the service! Briana, our server, was fantastic! Made us feel like we were back home at our local place! Coming back for dinner!
