Best Restaurants for Groups in Indian Rocks Beach

Everything was perfect for our lunch at The Columbia but the weather—we asked for outdoor seating and a cold wind started just as our food arrived. But the sangria made at the table with fresh fruit and wine was excellent, as was all of the food. Great staff, from the hostess to the wait staff to the parking valet. We’ve now been to all the Columbia restaurants and they do it right! Love their food!

Great V day dinner for three couples. 4 course meal with wine paring was amazing. The issue was we were coding wrong with our reservation in the computer. Hence, we were not seated with the valentines Day menu, and we had to request the roses for the ladies. Our server was excellent, which made up for the coding issue.

Have lived in Clearwater for 18 years and never knew The Deep End existed. Was looking for something different to celebrate Valentine’s Day so decided to give it a try. What a wonderful choice. The view is utterly amazing, service was very good, portion sizes were good and the food was prepared well and very flavorful. We will definitely add The Deep End to our list of places to return to and not just for special occasions. Our experience there made for a wonderful Valentine’s Celebration.

It was our first time dining at Valentino Ristorante Italiano but it will certainly not be our last time. We were warmly greeted the moment we stepped inside the understated yet elegant interior. We immediately knew this was not going to be a “typical” Italian dining experience. Once seated, the staff were abundant, attentive, accommodating and genuinely friendly. In fact, after expressing our delight over the vongole appetizer (clams), our server brought the chef, Ciro Mancini, to our table so we could share our thoughts and compliments with him directly. With so many delicious options on the menu, we were challenged to make a selection. We opted for the Fettucine Bolognese to enjoy as an appetizer (along with the clams) and felt satisfied we had made an excellent choice. The fresh pasta was al dente and the sauce was complex and rich enhancing,but not overpowering, the wagyu beef. We followed up with Zuppa Di Pesce, served in a bowl loaded with a fresh assortment of seafood. Thankfully it came with crostini to absorb the delicious broth and because it was so tasty we moved on to dipping in with the bread we were served upon being seated. Our server recommended the Veal Marsala and it did not disappoint. The sauce was full bodied and the mushrooms were firm and flavorful. Perhaps the best we’ve ever had! The dessert menu was limited and if we hadn’t overindulged on the other dishes we had ordered, we might have opted to try one. Perhaps on our next visit we will better pace ourselves, if possible, so we can sample their sweet offerings. Overall, we had a wonderful meal in a tastefully elegant setting with great service. Now that’s AMORE!

Great food! We are always impressed by the service, selection, and prices. There is literally Not a bad item on the menu and I have tried pretty much everything. We can’t wait for the Clearwater beach location to open back up. Thanks for the great service
