SHOR American Seafood Grill

This experience at the restaurant for Christmas Day was truly delightful . We had an outside table overlooking the ocean with a magnificent view . The dining room is absolutely gorgeous and the food was magnificent. Such an array of breakfast and brunch type items were offered. They offered crab legs that were cooked to perfection . They had everything from eggs crab Benedict to tenderloin beef and lamb. They offered sushi, made to order omelettes and an array of pasta and vegetables There was even a nice sushi selection available. For the most part the food was tasty and well prepared . There was a variety of meats and cheeses and fruits and a wonderful dessert table was offered . The only drawback on this is that the beef tenderloin was dry and too well done and the lamb was a bit on the dry side as well . They offered extremely large shrimp for shrimp cocktail, biscuits and gravy and the usual breakfast meets, bacon and sausage The service was very good and we were overall pleased with everything offered to us for the day of Christmas I would consider going back again for their holiday buffet as long as the meat's not overcooked .

We've eaten at Shor several times while staying at the Hyatt. It's always quiet, laid back, and the food is incredible. Service is terrific also. The New York Strip and Grouper bites are especially fantastic but we've never been disappointed with anything on their menu. Drink menu is great also! Highly recommend eating here if you're staying at the Hyatt or anywhere in Clearwater beach.

Have to concur with previous reviews that our experience at SHOR was a positive one. Ben was our waiter he gave suggestions plus didn’t rush us in anyway to make a quick decision on food. We enjoyed our wine and appetizer which was the calamari before our dinner order was placed. My husband had the fresh catch which was red snapper and Ben indicated it was a good size, didn’t disappoint. I had the blackened grouper sandwich tasty with a side of fries crispy. Atmosphere enjoyable and left satisfied.

Amazing food overall. The short rib pasta was the highlight—rich, tender, and deeply flavorful. I also loved their coconut by nature cocktail. An excellent experience from start to finish.

Surprisingly Good. We did not want to stray far away from the hotel tonight. We decided to stay on site. So very glad we did. The food here is fabulous. I mean really great. You could order 3 or 4 sides and have a meal of wonderful side dishes.

We stopped by there on a cold day in February. The views are gorgeous and the seating is arranged with emphasis on privacy and space. The service was spectacular! We at the Citrus Beer Salad which was so good, we came back the next day to eat it again! It’s a generous portion! We also shared the asparagus which, leaves you begging for more even though you get a lot of it! We had the crab cakes which had a beautiful presentation. The crispy brussel sprouts are like crack cocaine! We cannot recommend this restaurant more!

If you are staying at the Hyatt, this place is a no brainer. Great food and we had excellent service. We came back for another dinner where they cooked fish we caught on a charter that day…. Was awesome. Great place to have a drink and watch the sunset as well….

Not sure why this is averaging 4.3 stars. I have traveled extensively and eaten at many hotel restaurants. This is one of the better in terms if menu quality and service, and if the night is warm, you can also dine outside overlooking the water. I feel as though I am a fairly discerning diner, and always try to accurately set expectations for what and where I am eating, which is why I am rarely disappointed. This is not a Michelin starred restaurant, but few are (have dined at some). That said, this was a very enjoyable restaurant for the many meals I have eaten here.

What a nice way to start your day! We chose to be seated outside for breakfast. Warm gulf breezes and the morning sun, it's like I'm Wastin' away again in Margaritaville but the salt is provided by SHOR American Seafood Grill. There's really not too much to mess up with my order of Avocado Toast. Chop up an Avocado, add egg and add some Toast? It would have been nice to have some jelly but its my fault I didn't speak up. Nice breakfast overlooking the gulf. I want to start my day like this every day.

Have dined here several times over the past month due to two stay-cations we took to burn Hyatt award nights that were expiring. It's okay, but I wouldn't go out of my way, or maybe even at all if paying versus breakfast that Hyatt Globalist's get for free. Much of the seating is in areas where there is also outside seating, or just outside access, so there will be a constant stream of people and servers going to/from the outside area, through doors in all the rooms. This immediately kills any cool a/c air that had been building and you're back to warm and muggy. If you're sitting near the cooking area, it's even warmer. So don't come here if you were wanting to escape the beach for a bit, it will feel like you're right back out there. Service has been very hit or miss. I've been ignored completely for fifteen minutes at the bar before. I've had incredible breakfast service where then a shift change occurred and the old server didn't tell us he was leaving, and the new one didn't come by for 20+ minutes. Dinner service has been average. Food-wise, they do not have béarnaise sauce for steaks, so if you like filet with béarnaise, that isn't going to happen. The steaks are otherwise good but not special. The whipped feta app is great. I've had the short rib pasta, which tasted good, and then was up half the night... The breakfast food is fantastic, I particularly like the Crab Benedict. There's a Fried Egg BLT that is massive; two people could make that their breakfast easily.

Over all a good restaurant. Very disappointing a no no ... was to have ran out is their signature whole fish main dish in a holiday weekend.. I was about to turn around a leave. Just because at the bar they provided such a good service... we stay... thank you Steve and Antonio... great bartenders. Nice ambience with Great view.. Just don't ruin out of the plate that people visit the place... please!!

Beautiful views of the beach. The ambiance was great. Service was great and food was delicious!

Nice place, good food and service (mostly). Unfortunately, I left my credit card there. And when I went back to get it the next day, it took over 40 minutes for them to bring it to me. Even though they knew exactly who I was and had found it at the restaurant.

We purchased the "taste of the beach tickets" this was our favorite so far. The food was amazing and the staff were great. Calamari was so tender. The chicken leg was flavorful but a bit overcooked. The mushroom toast was a real treat. Our server was attentive and had a great attitude. Usually staff members don't like to serve coupon users for some reason. This will definitely make them more visible to the local community. Don't miss out on this amazing opportunity to visit. Parking is no issue

Let me just say that the customer service here is UNMATCHED! SHOR if you're reading this Rob needs a raise & a big one! Not only was the food delicious and crave worthy (we all ordered the whole fried snapper) but Rob took our photos outside to capture the sunset over the beach. Our photos were gorgeous! Rob talked to us and told us his story of how he made Clearwater his home and discussed his love of meeting new and returning customers. All he desires is to see people happy and enjoying themselves while dining at SHOR. I love that! He's definitely a unique gem in the customer service world...SHOR please give Rob his flowers now! I can't wait to return for the food and for Rob!

Restaurant is in Hyatt Regency, good food and service, but portions are small and prices are high. Lots of other options available in Clearwater

We stopped in for dinner and loved all the sides: mac and cheese, Brussels sprouts, pineapple fried rice. The ribeye was not the best cut of steak and we wouldn't order again. New York strip was tasty but a bit dry. Would definitely go back to try more if we visit the area again.

Shor has a convenient location to beach goers on the second floor of the Hyatt, the big pink hotel on the beach. The service is not the best, (somewhat slow regardless of the time of day), but the food at dinner is fantastic. We have dined here for dinner several times and decided to give breakfast a try this last visit to Clearwater. Breakfast is subpar compared to dinner, so stick to dinner here. The breakfast foods are not even Instagram worthy, so I've only posted one picture of breakfast. We ordered the special feature this time around, which is a whopping 24-ounce 1855 Angus ribeye. It is phenomenal and probably the best I've ever had. They were able to get a good sear on it that created a flavorful crust on the outside and, at the same time, able to cook it perfectly to medium, maintaining the juiciest inside. It sits on an au gratin potato cake with charred peppers and asparagus. Other remarkable dishes include the red snapper and the pork chop topped with crispy prosciutto and mozzarella. Ambiance is casual, and 3 hours of parking is free when you spend $50, which is easily done since the place is on the pricey side. There is a breakfast buffet for $25, but we opted to order from the menu, which wasn't the best choice cause the eggs were overcooked and the biscuits and gravy were flavorless. They do take reservations and have large tables to accommodate bigger groups of people. You can watch the chefs at work in the middle of the restaurant where the kitchen is open. That can count as dinner and a show if you get sat at a table in front of it!

I came here on a bachelorette trip for dinner and I was blown away. The service was impeccable from the moment we walked in until we finished dinner. Our waiter Zach was amazing! He gave our bride complimentary champagne and clearly communicated when the bar was slightly behind making our drinks. The food portions were so big but everything was delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant.

Amazing food, presentation, service and ambience, especially considering this restaurant is located in a hotel (Hyatt Regency). Great view overlooking the white sands of Clearwater Beach and the Gulf of Mexico right across the street. Admittedly, we were there in the off season and had the restaurant virtually to ourselves, but we were treated like royalty and the food was obviously prepared with great skill and care. We'll definitely be going back!

Absolutely amazing food and service! We simply love it!! Everything tasted great, from appetizers to main dishes and desserts. Also, the sunset view over the gulf was awesome! We'll definitely come back.

We had just arrived to the resort on a Wednesday night so decided to come in for a bite to eat. We ordered a Fried Avocado to start. It was delicious, but I don't think it's worth $17 which it was priced. It was avocados, some bacon bits and sauce. I had the Oyster Bacon Sandwich as my meal, my husband had a Black and Blue Burger and the baby had Mac and Cheese which came with a side of fries. The burger and sandwich was good! Very tasty. The baby's food was such a generous portion we had to take it to go. We had a nice table, great ambience and an efficient server too! Enjoyable welcome to Clearwater meal! We ordered room service which came from this restaurant twice during our stay for breakfast. We had 2 orders of create your own omelettes and it was reasonably priced and delicious!

Wes was our server and he was amazing. Every bite of food was fantastic. FYI, while I loved the spice level of the blackened redfish, it was a bit spicy for some of my party.

Service was generally ok in terms of cleaning dishes from table, waiters did not take the time to allow 2 of us to even order drinks before they took off and disappeared for the next 20 minutes. We wound up asking a busboy to find our waiter so we could order beverages. He returned and said he couldn't find either waiter for our service area. The busboy continued to service our table for almost the entire meal. He was great, and a real bright spot in our experience!! The ambiance was lovely, a bright happy vibe, with tables spaced far enough from each other to be able to hear your companions conversation without straining. Food was excellent, with a twist on traditional Thanksgiving dishes that truly elevated the experience to a high end gourmet level. Sushi was absolutely delicious and must have taken a LOT of time and effort to make. It was not standard run of the mill sushi. Rolls were delicately wrapped in sheeted mango and strawberry. I thought they were dessert rolls, they were truly tasty and beautiful!! Salad bar was small and in an awkward corner of room, had many choices. There were multiple seafood choices on cold bar; super fresh jumbo shrimp, smoked salmon, snow crab, king crab legs and another fish whose name escapes me at the moment, oysters on half shell, mussels etc. We drove down from Orlando to meet our daughter, and had been worried the restaurant might not live up to the hype. We are now planning on returning for Thanksgiving 2025, based on our experience this year.

Amazing restaurant, if you have the chance to have Rob as your server, you will laugh and enjoy yourselves on top of the amazing food. Give it a try!

Great food and amazing service. We sat outside and the waiting made sure to cater to my dietary restrictions! (Gf & def) Def would be back!!

Blending in and unpretentious, there are certain places that go with trends like open kitchens and apply contemporary West Elm design elements of spiky artwork. There is some of that at Shor without a doubt, yet it does have a gorgeous wooden ceiling and a very spacious, relaxing atmosphere. Located in the Hyatt Regency hotel, it is not a place that appeared to be very popular with locals. Yet, the food here is more local than most of the "local hotspots". A solid portion of the menu consists of fishes right from the gulf, such as the staple snapper, the swordfish and barramundi. The menu is highly focused on seafood and for good reason. They do it well, very well. The barramundi was extremely flavorful and cooked perfectly. Grilled asparagus and some house made mashed potatoes on the side. The salmon is imported from New Zealand, but nonetheless spectacular in preparation, very delicate and retaining its natural oils. Streamlined service as expected for a restaurant at a hotel where guests are accustomed to having things right. Overall, an excellent find and good to check out while in Clearwater.

Located on the gulf side of the Hyatt. First seat available at 8:25pm. It's over a 40 minute wait. It's an hour wait for carry out from the restaurant. You have to put in the order from the market. It cost $68.48 for 2 kale salads and a lobster club on GF bread, less bacon. 2 Bubly and 3 small bags of flamin hot Cheetos for $14.98 at the market counter across the hallway. The Caesar salad and fruit salad and items in the cooler looked a bit old and dated. The beet and kale is okay, not sure it's worth $15. The dressing is super thick, it looks like BBQ sauce. Tastes odd, quite strange, doesn't go well with this salad at all. The fries are bland and so-so. They are super dry and not worth eating. I know the fries are bad if my husband isn't chowing down on them. We were done eating the fries after a few bites of them. The lobster club had strips of bacon, luckily they were big strips and easy to remove. One side of the GF bread was burnt, how nice. They even made sure to place the burnt side of the bread down in the carry out container hoping I wouldn't notice...I ended up eating a lobster, tomato and lettuce as my meal, lose the GF burnt bread. They at least gave us a good amount of lobster meat to the sandwich. The menu items aren't bad, the execution needs some refinement yet.

Food was amazing & great quality. The server Ben was very detail oriented. Highly recommend coming here

Good views and food!!! Fish was a little overcooked and you would expect a seafood place to be better. Worth a try.

Service was excellent, attentive and fast. The food was good, the vibe is very relaxed and classy.

For hotel food, this place was absolutely exceptional. Lots of restaurants that are attached to hotels, or run by hotels, are mediocre. Overpriced. Have bad service. Not this place! I love the fact that this place has an open kitchen layout. You can see the chefs working hard at making sure the food is perfect. Which it really was. The seafood here is fresh. Fresh. The crabcakes, in particular, were exceptional. They are breaded, to be sure, but there is a generous portion of crab meat in each order of three fat crabcakes. There is also an onion vinegar slaw that serves as a dipping sauce for the crabcakes, which went quickly when we ordered them. All told, we ordered a total of six orders. Not all at once, but the second after we finished the first. The third after we finished the second. So on and so forth because they were so good. One tip here is the order pieces of seafood à la cart. You can order an individual scallop, an individual lobster tail, individual shrimp. Collectively, you can string together quite a nice seafood meal. It adds up, but the quality of the seafood is absolutely perfect. I don't know how they keep the lobster tails so juicy and succulent, but I had three. I will absolutely be coming back here the next time I'm here. I had everything billed to our room, and all of that was seamlessly integrated. The fries are regular fries. Solid, fat American fries.

Located in the pink Hyatt Regency on Clearwater beach. This restaurant has beautiful views of the beach with both indoor and outdoor seating available. Staff is wonderful and very attentive. We sat near the floor to ceiling windows Inside and shared the delicious wild mushroom arancini. The accompanying Calabrian cream sauce was a perfect pair. For my entrée I got the seared salmon which came with a pea purée. The salmon was perfectly cooked but I was not a fan of the pea purée so added on creamed Brussel sprouts which were perfectly tender and the creole mustard was yummy.

We ate here twice during our stay. Let's start with breakfast. We both ordered avocado toast. My wife sent hers back to the kitchen after one bite because she didn't think the avocado was fresh. Our server was very understanding and brought her out a Greek omelette which was much more to her liking. I had the avocado toast and thought it was fine. We both really liked the coffee and thought our service was great! We came here the last night of our stay for dinner and sat at a high top in the bar. The bartender, Angel, was very friendly and provided great service. He also made my wife a delicious chocolate old fashioned that she loved!! We had scallops for our appetizer and that was hands down the best part of the meal. The rest of the meal was average at best. However, Angel was very receptive to feedback and even got us a dessert on the house.

We stayed at the Hyatt Regency Clearwater last week for three nights. Shor was one of the best hotel restaurants we have been to. The service was so good from our server, Rob Res (?), that we had dinner at Shor all three nights, trying new dishes each night. Rob made sure our little kids had fun, guided us through the excellent menu, and made it a pleasurable experience each night. The grouper bites and calamari appetizers were outstanding! Also, the best sunset views on the beach. Rob even snapped photos for us each night. Thank you Shor and Hyatt Regency Staff! We'll definitely be back.

The restaurant was inviting looking over the ocean with a guitar player. So nice. The food is as good, all of it was over seasoned with pepper though. Everything! So peppery. But, the food was good, would come back. The water glasses were dirty and gnats were flying everywhere. Quite annoying. I know it's at the beach. The center piece, cup with some sand, was dirty as well. Just for this scale of a restaurant, I would expect everything sparkling clean. I would recommend.

We had a wonderful time at SHOR for my birthday. Our waiter was friendly and helpful. He assisted me in ordering gluten free items and luckily the redfish was GF. He said the redfish was the most popular menu item. The redfish was well seasoned and the peppers and cajun butter and fingerling potatoes went so well with it.. This is our second time coming here and its still the same. We got there on time to have dinner on the balcony and watch the sunset over Clearwater Beach. It was perfect and romantic and I would highly recommend it for date night. Parking is located on the back end of the Hyatt Hotel at 6$ an hour. For dinner 2 hours it was 18$ and pur waiter validated our parking making it free. Not shown in my photos is the espresso affigato-my husband loved it and said it was absolutely delicious. Everything we had was delicious with well thought out and complex flavor combinations.

Some hotel restaurants are amazing and worth spending a night in. Others, like SHOR at the Hyatt, are worth skipping altogether. We came for dinner mid-week and the place was nearly empty. That should be the first sign that the restaurant is not exactly... in demand. It has what I would describe as hotel-restaurant decor -- nothing memorable and nothing offensive. It was about as generic a dining room as I've ever sat in. It does have amazing sunset views, however, and I imagine this is the reason people book this restaurant at that time of the day. We came later in the evening, so there's naturally there's nothing to see outside at night. We were promptly seated in the middle dining room, away from the bar. Two other tables were occupied. It was pretty quiet, except for the excruciating scraping of the chairs on the tile. You'd think it would be pretty easy to run down to the hardware store and buy some chair felt pads for the chairs, but nope... no one in all the years this restaurant has been in service has thought to do that. That lack of attention to detail is pervasive and characteristic. It's not a large menu, which is a good sign in most cases. My wife ordered a grilled chicken breast and I had the salmon. We also ordered a side of brussel sprouts because they sounded so good! They apparently make bread to order, so you have to wait a bit, but then it comes out and it's warm and delicious. Our entrees arrived and we were immediately disappointed. It's as if the two dishes came from two different kitchens. My wife's chicken was a sad, dried-out piece of chicken with absolutely zero seasoning on it. Furthermore, it was mostly burnt. Same with the brussel sprouts. Burnt. Through and through. My salmon on the other hand was perfectly cooked and delicious. After we informed our server of the problems -- halfway through my course, because of course nobody came to check in on us after the entrees were served -- the manager came over and expressed his disappointment. He offered to have the dishes refired, but what's the point? If the kitchen can't get a simple chicken breast right the first time, it's unlikely to do so on the second try. Also, of course nobody should be asked "how's your meal" when you're already half-way through the entree. The server was inattentive. The manager did generously comp the chicken and brussel sprouts. We appreciated that. It was like a 2.5 star experience. The unevenness of the kitchen left me understanding why this place is not very popular. Definitely was not worth the prices they charge for the beach view. I'd look for other, better fine dining choices in the area until they work on improving the consistency of the quality of the tickets coming out of the kitchen.

The food was spectacular! We had 2 espresso martini's with fried calamari and whipped feta. Followed by the blackened redfish and steak tid bits. The meal was so delicious and flavorful. Topped off by a butter pecan cheesecake! Definitely recommend and the view is breath taking!

Had an excellent surf and turf meal, saw the sunset. The staff made great wine recommendations and were very friendly. Enjoyed it so much we returned for breakfast.

Lobster Mac and calamari was very tasty. Do not miss either if you like Mac and cheese or calamari

Had the best pasta of my life. The lobster pasta is really good and I highly recommend it. it is worth the price and very good. Workers were very nice and even took sunset photos for us. There is a good view of ocean and some chill music. Chairs where comfy and the workers were nice and friendly

~ I never look forwards toward eating the best food from a hotel restaurant. So this won't be long. Food was basic. Enough for you to be happy. The area / hotel is just beautiful it's self. So you'll get more of a high just from that. Steak takes like it can from the freezer. Mash potatoes were good. They brought it out with pork on it & yall KNOW the monster don't eat swine !!! Now !!! THE LOBSTER MAC AND CHEESE IS EVERYTHING !!!!!!!!!!!! Best I've ever had. Plus it makes sense, cause they advertise it everywhere. The elevators , brochures, bathroom walls.. EVERYWHERE !!!! Did my research on it & it's won several awards for best dish many of times. So, just be at peace at a nice resort and eat the lobster mac and cheese. The menu isn't updated online, so call before you get your hopes high. Hope you enjoy .

Well. This place is alright. I will return for the convenience because I'm staying at the Hyatt. Keep in mind we have only come for breakfast thus far. Our waitress rarely came around to check on the table. She wouldn't come fill our waters. Subsequently, we had to ask other servers for things we needed. Unfortunately again I asked for cream cheese and it took 2 different servers to get it. The food also for all of us took an extraordinarily long time to come out, considering they were not busy. Luckily, the food was fantastic. I like that I can build my own omelette here. It was delicious and I'd definitely order again. The prices are good considering the lack of service. It also has a really nice view of the beach. 3 stars for mediocre service, amazing food, and good views.

The SHOR has NEVER disappointed!! We've been here many times as locals over the years and it continues to be my husband's number one spot. The calamari steals the show EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. I did not get a pic, we enjoy it so much we put our phones down. Can you believe that? We tried the crab cake this time. It was phenomenal, as expected. The perfect mix of crab, breadcrumbs and spices. I'd definitely order next time. So the grilled chicken and filet with the worlds best mashed potatoes, would completely grant another 45 minute drive to this number one beach spot view in America - again and again! However, the vegans that visited us had the hugest smile on their face while they were accommodated. They ordered a tempeh dish and were pleasantly surprised. In addition to a fabulous dinner, Shout out to Ben. You went above and beyond our expectations. Thank you for an incredible, unforgettable evening dinning in Clearwater Beach with family. If you want a fabulous dinner I 100% would recommend this restaurant. Local or not, Vegan or not! An incredible experience.

This is an amazing restaurant on 2 floor at Hyatt Regency Clearwater beach. They have all day dining, that's breakfast, lunch and dinner. They're have a nice foods and very good drinks here. Also about service here very friendly and nice. We're here for 4 nights and have every single meals here. Every time we ordered something deferents, because I wanna try everything on the menu and yes!! Everything is delicious. Anyway this restaurant have a very nice patio. If you looking for dinner with sunset I do recommend here.

Amazing seafood. Well worth the $$. Went twice in one weekend. Big portions as well .

Got this as room service so if you are looking to dine in, skip this review. Food was alright. The drinks were terrible, it was like they made the drinks when we put the order in and they sat for an hour until our food was brought up. The person we spoke with while ordering told us that they have a bunch of stuff that ended up not coming with our meal. When I called down to ask, the next person told me that they dont offer those items and don't even have them in the kitchen. The one item that they did have took another 35 minutes to get brought up and we were already done our food. We spent $117 on a salad, the lobster club, 2 drinks and the catch of the day. The only good item out of those was the lobster club, it was so big and full of meat. Honestly, it would have been faster, cheaper and fresher if we just ordered UberEats or GrubHub.

We had an unexpectedly outstanding meal inside the Hyatt Regency Hotel's main restaurant. First of all, let me give a big shout-out to our server (Maria R) for her friendly and hospitable service. Her knowledge of and frank discussion of the dishes on the menu helped us "dial in" the perfect meal on my wife's birthday...making for a very memorable evening. Thank you Maria!!! On to the good stuff! My wife found the perfect wine to accompany our mostly seafood meal...a lovely Franciscan Chardonay and the server brought out a complimentary loaf of their pretzel bread. The warm, round loaf was served with herbed butter and spicy mustard (what a great idea!). We had two. ;-) The next course was their Florida green salad. It came with mixed greens, orange slices, avocado, hearts of palm (one of our favorite unique salad toppings) and a mango passion fruit dressing. It was refreshing, light and tropical. Our appetizer course was the buttermilk fried calamari with jalapeno cocktail sauce. We really had no intentions of ordering this dish, but after speaking with us about our food tastes, Maria insisted we do. So we did. And then we thanked her profusely for doing so. This was truly one of the best (if not the best) calamari we've ever had...so tender, perfectly (lightly) breaded and the extra "kick" in the cocktail sauce provided by the diced jalapeno peppers gave the dish a flavor unlike any we'd ever had. Our main course was the lobster mac-n-cheese (with a full lobster tail), which we shared. Wow...a whole lobster tail on top of lobster filled white cheddar cheese macaroni...what could possibly be bad? Nothing. The answer is nothing. It was so rich that we could not finish it, but it made for a tasty breakfast treat the next morning when we warmed it up and spread it over croissants we had. Score! And if all that was not enough, Maria brought my wife out decadent chocolate dessert (domed chocolate gateau) for the birthday girl. It had a gooey praline filling and ended the meal perfectly. Then we rolled ourselves up to the hotel room to bask in our food coma glory. Well done SHOR team!

We are staying at the Hyatt for few days in Clearwater. we had dinner at the Shor restaurant. We had the blackened red fish and the popcorn rice. It's was fantastic. Our waiter Maria was very nice and helpful. She has a great personality. We will be back.

Out of the meals we had in Clearwater Beach, this by far was our favorite, albeit most expensive dinner. The staff here was so friendly that it made the rather minimalist decor place feel warm. You have the option to choose indoor or outdoor dining and we chose to eat indoors. After eating the complimentary bread, which my 1 year old just devoured, and reading so many reviews, we ended up ordering the buttermilk fried calamari (the cocktail sauce was spicy!) for our appetizer, my surf and turf was cooked perfectly and so glad I ordered this dish. I highly recommend it! My wife had cioppino and had so much seafood, she was stuffed. Thoroughly enjoyed her dish. Our drinks were well made and liked the open kitchen when you first walk into the dining room. The cooks all said hi to us and thought that was cool. They have a kids menu and when we were there families with kids outnumbered everyone else, so kid friendly too!

It was our 54th wedding anniversary & we hadn't been to the beach in years; we'd never been to Shor's. Our Entrees, Grouper & Blackened Redfish, were top drawer (5's), as was our complimentary dessert (Butter Pecan Cheesecake). The Calamari was OK, light breading w/ good flavor but the squid meat itself was prepped in long, thick strips (not to our liking). My Blackened Redfish was arguably the best I've ever had (including Emeril Lagasse's Universal's Boardwalk restaurant). My wife's grouper was excellent & had a never before tasted side of Pureed Parsnips. Like Hummus (love it but whole chickpeas not so much) the puree was tasty w/ good texture. We both hate Parsnips, Rutabaga, & Turnips so this was a nice surprise. Diners are going to pay handsomely for the food & Gulf view though. Our tab for app, 2 Entrees, glass of wine & iced tea came to $141 (tax & tip incl). Our server, Rob, was most attentive & engaging right up until he got "slammed" at the end of our meal, i.e. 2-3 large parties ++. We'd ask for him again & we would return. We arrived at 6:00PM (reservations) & left around 7:30PM. Caveat: finish eating by 7:00PM-7:30PM unless you have kids because they come "POURING IN" then. The surine ambiance turns to LOUD PANDEMONIUM. On the way back to the Hyatt's parking garage (ticket validated at Shor by Rob) we noticed a poster hung in our elevator that read "Locals get 20% off...just show one's FL ID. This would have been nice to know BEFORE ORDERING.

I hosted a dinner here for 15 and we had a fun time in a secluded private room. It was great to be able to step outside to take beautiful pictures of the sunset over Clearwater Beach! My guests, especially those from out of town, appreciated the ambiance. As for the food, everyone enjoyed their meals and we had a blast sharing lobster mac and cheese because, well, why not!? I think it now a tradition that any time we go out, we must order some fun, outlandish or perhaps all the appetizers to share! Oops, I think the lobster mac was actually an entree but share it we did! Don't forget to get your parking validated and it's 100% free it you eat here. It makes things much more convenient as the Hyatt has a huge parking garage that you enter from the back.

Ordered what my waitress recommended,blackened fish with peppers . It was perfect !!! I got to sit on the patio over looking the beach which was perfect since I walked right from the beach and I didn't want to sit inside all sandy . My Server was attentive and sweat ,food got out quickly. I wouldn't ask for a better experience!!

Food was delicious & ambiance was great. I would definitely recommend coming here while in Florida!

Came here for breakfast on several occasions and was not disappointed. You can get buffet for $25 per person or order something off the menu. I preferred their salmon-avocado toast with poached eggs. Great presentation and taste alongside a HUGE latte. View of the beach is awesome and convenience factor definitely played a role. Service is fairly top notch since the restaurant is not crowded.
