Ocean Seven

Fine dining but unimpressive food My boyfriend and I stayed over at the Hiatus for a 2 day vacation in Clearwater beach and we decided to celebrate our 3 year anniversary at this gorgeous rooftop restaurant the night before our departure. We had a pleasant time with the super friendly staff who accommodated us with warm welcome, sunset champagne toast, and a free dessert on the house, for which we were hugely appreciative. However, our honest opinion on the food was mediocre at best. It almost feels like the restaurant was trying too hard to innovate its menu by inventing niche flavors, but ended up a disappointment. The cocktails were beautifully made although they were quite strong so definitely be prepared. My favourite was the Floribbean Dream which almost tasted like a dessert - creamy and coconuty. However soon afterwards we discovered that “sweet” became the overwhelming theme for every dish. For some it worked well but some disastrous. The starters were a delight - The shrimp bisque was flavorful and creamy with a sweetness like corn chowder; the burrata salad was also tasty and the sweet sauce mixed well with the sourness of the grapefruit. However when we got to the entree - the “coffee rubbed” ribeye - the sweetness became off putting as the mix of caramel, smokiness and fat didn’t go well. We had to sprinkle quite some salt to compensate for the lack of saltiness. The sides were decent but the creamy corn was also super sweet which didn’t go well with the already overly sweetened steak. Although we appreciated the gesture of the dessert, it was again very sweet (for a key lime pie which I had hoped to be citrus from the name). Despite not finishing any plate after the entree we did enjoy the warm welcome and the brilliant service from the staff. Would rate the food 3/5 with additional 0.5 for service.

This is hands-down one of the best beachfront restaurants in Clearwater Beach! The view of the ocean is absolutely stunning, especially during sunset. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented — a true taste of Florida’s coast. Our server, Emily, was the highlight of our visit. She was so kind, friendly, and attentive, always ready to help and make our experience even better. Her warm personality and excellent service made us feel right at home. We’ll be back for sure!

5 Stars – A Must-Visit Gem! Ocean Seven Restaurant was absolutely amazing! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and beautiful thanks in part to Johnny & Morgan & Ashley at the bar, who brought such an amazing vibe that instantly puts you at ease. One of the highlights of the evening was the sunset toast, such a beautiful and thoughtful touch that really made the experience feel special. The food? Fabulous. Every dish was full of flavor and clearly made with care. And the wine selection was top-notch…perfectly curated to complement the menu. Lots of options. If you’re looking for a memorable dining experience with great energy, incredible food, and a view to match, Ocean Seven is the place. Can’t wait to go back!

My search for the best dining on Florida's West Coast led me to Ocean Seven, which did not disappoint. A special commendation goes to our waiter, Ely (Eliezer), who not only knew the menu inside and out but had clearly tasted it. His recommendations guided us through a flawless culinary journey, from appetizers to desserts. We started strong with incredibly flavorful beef empanadas and exquisite tuna tartare accompanied by crispy yuca fritas. The filet mignon and grouper main courses were expertly prepared and simply excellent. The corn side dish was a surprisingly perfect partner for the steak. To cap off an amazing meal, the Upside Down pineapple cake was a triumph. The sole drawback was the lack of intimacy due to the constant traffic and noise from the nearby pool; a more private setting would greatly enhance the overall experience.

Gorgeous views overlooking the sugar-white sand & calm blue waters. The tranquil atmosphere heightened our experience to indulge their impeccable cuisine. The service was top-tier, and it was an elegant upscale getaway at Clearwater Beach. Humbly, thank all their polite staff for the peaceful escape from the hustle of the busy beach stretching 2.5 miles.

One of the best meals we’ve ever had! This place is a hidden gem in Clearwater - I still think about this meal often!! We split the Wagyu steak, creamed corn, and risotto. Everything was cooked perfectly. Drinks were also 10/10! Our server, Mari, was so attentive and kind. We sat out on the rooftop patio and had an incredible view of the sunset for dinner. They even gave us complimentary champagne for sunset! This entire experience was incredible. We can’t wait to come back!

We tried this restaurant for the first time today, to be honest I was disappointed at how pricey it was for what you get on your plate, the flavor was ok. Inside The luxury hotel Opal Sol Resort has the Drift, this restaurant has better food options and is worth the price. Alexa was our server, she was super friendly.

Great service and atmosphere, very nice design. Culinarily it’s missing something. It’s not worth the price that they are charging for these regular food.

The service was phenomenal. I can't recommend Hunter enough. He was attentive, great recommendations, and very charismatic. The food was delicious and sunset view was phenomenal. Again, Hunter, 10/10. Wish you the best. Joshua and Hannah

June 27/2025: Dinner with Lisa/Ed/Olivia/Amanda & Todd. This was very unbusy but nicely designed restaurant. I'm going to jump right into the w food. It was good but the portions were small & costly! I had the empanadas as an appetizer ($19.00). They were good but a small order. My main was the 8oz Filet Mignon ($58.00). It was good but it was al-la-carte! Tasty steak but no sides, no potatoes or anything. For $58.00, it should have been a more complete dinner.

Ocean Seven is a perfect 10! From the rooftop terrace sunset views with complimentary champagne, to the food and the top notch service by our waiter Justino we enjoyed it all. We made a last minute reservation to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary here yesterday. We couldn't have made a better choice. Our favs were the coconut shrimp crunch roll, hiatus greens salad, beef empanadas, baked Florida grouper and jerk chicken. For dessert we ordered the Florida upside cake. Delicious! And we also got to try the Flan as a complimentary anniversary dessert. A huge thank you to Justino for his warm, friendly and attentive service and spot on recommendations. This will be our go to restaurant for our annual Clearwater vacation! Tip: make a reservation if you want to sit on the terrace to enjoy the sunset views tableside. Inside seating is also available. And don't forget to request Justino!

What a beautiful restaurant!! We were welcomed by our amazing waitress, Alexa, who took great care of us. We loved the oysters and empanadas for starters, and the grouper and lobster tail were amazing. We also really enjoyed the soups.

Two stars because the sunset really is to die for. It ends there. We went twice and both times were underwhelming. The restaurant is poorly laid out and staffed. The bar is also understaffed resulting in long wait times and inefficiency both times. We also were served old fois gras and after being told it was the last they had, then suddenly a manger turned up and said they found some tucked away in a freezer and we had to wait while they defrosted it These people are not serious. Do better.

My boyfriend took me here for Valentine's Day because he knows how much I love the beach and sunset--such a sweet idea! Parking was easy since we did valet, but if you don't... good luck. They're doing renovations on the first floor (I'm assuming from the hurricane), which is totally understandable, but just a heads-up--it was super loud since it was a Friday night. The restaurant itself is beautiful, sitting on top of a hotel with an amazing view. I really wanted to sit outside, but those tables were reserved. Thankfully, the hostess gave us an indoor spot where we could still see the sunset, which I appreciated! Now, let's talk about the menu... definitely check it before you go. It's really small, and honestly, my boyfriend and I weren't crazy about the options. We went with the Valentine's Day 3-course menu, which was fine, but we left hungry. The portions were ridiculously small--our appetizer came with just three chips to share between two people, and the cheese portion was tiny. Our entrées tasted good, but for the price, it just wasn't worth it. I'm not about to pay $95 for a steak and still leave hungry. The one thing I'll rave about? The drinks. They were fabulous--but again, very expensive. Next time, I'd come back for one drink, enjoy the sunset, and call it a night. I wouldn't get the food again.

Yo ho! Oysters were fresh, layout vibes were trendy, and the rooftop view during sunset just hit differently. Our server Cole was adorable and extremely attentive. They give out a complimentary glass of rose to toast the sunset. We even got a desert on the house and I am not even sure why (lol def not complaining). Great place to take a visiting guest or to go on a date, like us! The hotel in general was lovely, as well. Valet parking available. 10/10

Sunset views were unparalleled! Service was great! If you want amazing views sit in the bar high tops or the outdoors deck which is pretty limited. Complimentary bubbles at sunset u can't beat it! Food was good not great.

Brooke the bartender really made this experience great for us. We started with her at the bar and she was so lovely that when we asked if she would serve us outside she agreed. We split the fettuccine, tuna tartare, 3 sides and 2 desserts. Everything was wonderful. Her service was great. She was attentive but not interruptive. We would return.

Very cozy and friendly restaurant. Snack with a great view and fantastic food, sometimes risky creations with a good outcome... lobster bisque; fantastic .. recommended!

The food, while expensive, was more than worth the price tag. The seafood was clearly fresh and every aspect of each dish was well thought out. The tuna tartare appetizer was amazing. Also highly recommend the grouper and tuna entrees. We shared a side of the potatoes - more than enough the share - and they were also delicious. Great wine and cocktail selection! The pink flamingo cocktail was excellent and as was the strawberry mint lemonade mocktail. Service was great and the views were even better! Reserve a table outside at sunset if available!

The view on the rooftop restaurant area is fantastic. Service was attentive and helpful. They menu is pretty varied, but could add a few more options. The oysters were fresh and we loved the coconut shrimp sushi roll topped with pineapple salsa. They also make a great espresso martini!

Immaculate vibe and view of the beach! Incredibly nice and attentive servers too! The food was quite overpriced for the quality but would recommend the sushi as a starter!

Our server Ryan was fantastic!!!!! I cannot recommend this place enough!! It's the most perfect place to watch the sunset from. We are staying at Hilton the hiatus and we decided to leave the pool and watch the sunset from here. It was the best decision we could have made. Their margaritas were delicious, their ceviche was so yummy! The oceans orchid was fantastic! Honestly everything about this evening was perfect!

Great view, great service. Came with my mom and was super pleased with my experience. Highly recommend if in the area.

Beautiful restaurant with meticulously curated food and drink menu. Service was quick, friendly and professional. 10/10 overall experience. We stayed at the hotel so we had multiple dishes all weekend and not a bad bite! We loved the oysters, spicy tuna roll, beef empanadas and creamed corn. Best burger we had in a long time- so flavorful. Flan was to die for. Cannot wait to return! Be sure to check out ocean view from the deck and the rooftop bar, Sielo!

Bianca served us at the rooftop bar. Great recommendations, great food! Highly recommend!

View and the restaurant were beautiful! Waitress was very friendly and gave wine testers before choosing a glass. The appetizer were a mix. Recommend the tuna tartare and crab cakes, but the sushi and fried lobster apps were just ok. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience - just know what to order.

Nice view and cocktails! The seventh floor lounge overlooking the Gulf of America is serene, especially at sunset.

This is a great restaurant to visit in Clearwater. It was the nicest restaurant we visited. Views are pretty good and the food was good. It's on one of the top floors of a hotel. Our server was super helpful and very friendly and accommodated our big party.

We didn't know what to expect on our first night in Clearwater and we were blown away by the service, the view, and the food! We really enjoyed the shrimp bisque and coconut shrimp sushi roll for our appetizers. For the main course I enjoyed the coriander crusted tuna which was light on the coriander so not overpowering and the tuna was fresh. My wife had the fettuccine which she enjoyed as well. Because my wife's drink took a while to be prepared the server offered us a free dessert. We weren't expecting this and it was fantastic! The flourless chocolate cake, so good!

Beautiful rooftop dining spot!! Limited seats and the hostess and service was excellent! I had flowers delivered for my wife's birthday and they had them at the table once we arrived!! My wife had the scallops which were perfectly seasoned and delicious! I had the perfect temped tuna! Patricia was awesome, thank you!!

Amazing service & food was wonderful. Mari took great care of us! Beautiful place to watch the sunset!

Party of four and three of us rated our food under 5/10. The other one was a seven. The common issue was that the flavor was lackluster. The service was slower than expected and they were not good about keeping up with drinks and refills. I would probably look elsewhere for a place to eat.

What a wonderful restaurant with such delicious food and excellent service. Amal, our attendant, was excellent. She was friendly, attentive and responsive. And the food was flavorful, large portioned and beautifully presented. I will be back.

Great food and atmosphere. Very nice views of the beach and ocean from all angels. Kid friendly as well. Alexa did a phenomenal job, 13/10!

Delicious choice of entrees and appetizers. Amazing atmosphere and view like none other. Very beautiful place and excellent service. Highly recommend.

Alexa did a great job with recommendations on the menu! The Oysters and Grouper were amazing. Alexa also gave us sightseeing ideas for the area! Bonus! Thanks Alexa!

Sam was literally the best server EVER. He was so kind and sweet and so attentive. The food was amazing...the creamed corn & filet were to die for!! I highly reccomend.

Great Food and service, with a beautiful view would highly recommend when going to Clearwater Beach.

My wife and i were wanting to eat somewhere with a decent view of the water...found it! The menu is Floribbean. We both got the burger which was quite flavorful - actually exploding with flavor. The plantains were different, definitely not the traditional taste, but not bad. I also ordered the cream corn. Again, not what i what i was expecting, but still good. The service was fine. If you want to be out in the patio, you need to ensure reservarions at least a week in advance. Their breakfast menu looks quite good and we're going back next weekend to try that. Overall, if you dont mind hotel food!

Food was great Service we very poor We loved the grouper, Mahi and the patee' They forgot to seat us, forget to get the check two time and overall we came for the food but the service or lack of stoke the show

Great food and views. Service is sometimes slow when busy, but worth the wait for the thoughtful meal options. Cocktails won't disappoint and pretty good wine options. Perhaps the Best Grouper in Clearwater and they have scrumptious desserts too. Will be back.

Mari, our server, was wonderful. He was attentive without being overbearing. The food was amazing - I had the California Roll which had delicious real crab and my husband had the Mahi Mahi. Everything was so good!

The ribeye and plantains were delicious, the view was beautiful and our server Aggelos was awesome!

The food was incredible! Alexa was great and very knowledgeable! We ordered appetizers, entrees and cocktails. Will definitely be back!

Unreasonable arrangement, even if there are vacancies, you have to wait for a sufficient amount of time before being allowed to enter.

One of the best dining experiences I've ever had! From the ambience, to the location, to the variety of food and drinks, this place was superb!! This restaurant sits on the 7th floor of the Hiatus Hilton Hotel. The place transforms you to the perfect oasis right on clearwater beach. The drinks were to die for, with everyone drink we had beautifully made!! For appetizers, we had a variety of oysters, crab cakes, and ceviche. The oysters are A MUST!!!! As for entrees, we had scallops and pork belly, and the chicken with garbanzo beans & chorizo; both DO NOT disappoint. The location was exquisite. With aerial views of the water and the beach, you felt so at peace. There's a choice of sitting inside or outside & both were optimal. At sunset, staff passed around champagne for a sunset toast which made it feel like everyone was family. The staff was so caring and attentive, the views were spectacular, and the perfect place to go for any occasion. If you are in the Clearwater area, this is a place you don't want to miss ;)

Food was delicious and the dining experience was elegant. It's worth the price. Plus the view is just breathtaking. Alexa was a wonderful server, she was very attentive and always had great conversation, she made the night even better. Will be coming back for more date nights!

Never had a chance to review food or drink. No one would wait on us. After 20 minutes we departed.

Great atmosphere, food and service. Ocean Seven didn't just hit the mark on service, they hit the mark on making this a memorable experience. Alexa and the other staff made this a great evening for my wife and I in our last night of vacation. whether you're a local or vacationing, be sure to check out Ocean Seven!

Fantastic food for breakfast, lunch, appetizers and dinner. The ambience and service is every bit as good as the food.

Wow!! This was my first time here, and I have only the best to say. I came with a big group, and the staff was so accommodating to all of us. The chef came by and was so kind and friendly, offering us a suggestion of tastings. Everything was super delicious and the views were amazing. 10/10 I will definitely be back!!

Chile the bartender was absolutely amazing! She connected with her customers and made amazing cocktails. The view is the best - don't miss out! I will return!

Wonderful service and ambience at the Terrace bar. Alexa took extra special care of us. Provided 5 star service

Delicious food, grest sevice, but the most you will enjoys are the views. The sunset was incredible from the patio. A must see restaursnt in Clearwater!

We had such a great time here during our conference with a large group of ~20 people. It took a little time to get the private room in the back ready for us, but it was beautiful and the chef was so kind. He personally came out to ask if we needed anything and gave us bunch of free sides and desserts on the house. Definitely made our night a memorable experience!

We had our rehearsal dinner at Ocean Seven and the food was amazing. We had over 20 people and everyone raved about the food and drinks all weekend. The service was great and they were accommodating for all our different food allergies. The private room was beautiful and the balcony is great to watch the sunset. Luckily, we live local and we look forward to eating at Ocean Seven again.

I had a great experience working with Ocean Seven for a private business dinner in "Suite 7". The entire team was helpful and kind from the start to make this a successful evening. Our team throughly enjoyed the food & drinks and beautiful environment of the restaurant.
