Great service!!! Great food!!!
We chose blinkers as one of our more expensive dinner options while in Clearwater. It was a bit expensive but if you’re only planning one fine dining while here, it was definitely worth it. Michele, or staff, was a breath of fresh air and literally the sweetest - just a great personality and to us, this can make or break a dining experience. Definitely check them out- the filet mignon was like cutting through warm butter and cooked exactly how we wanted.
Always a great experience dining at Blinkers - it has a great classic vibe, which is a nice way to escape from all the hubbub of Clearwater Beach. The service is excellent - as is the food. Blinkers even does a fantastic grouper sandwich - so there are also options for anyone who doesn't want to stick to just conventional steakhouse fare.
Went to this restaurant for the steaks, we both ordered the filet mignon followed by the chocolate lava cake. The entire meal was excellent, the steaks cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. Our server Jasmine was very helpful and attentive and we weren't kept waiting for anything. I would definitely recommend this place and would visit again.
1st time visit to Blinkers. Waitress was great. Enjoyed perfectly cooked filet. The $4 peppercorn sauce had little flavor & was a waste of money. The chopped salad had good flavor but way too much lettuce. We wanted the warm bacon dressing spinach salad but the dressing was not available. Our “carpaccio appetizer came out after the salads & was tasteless & over-salted. Do not waste $$ on this. The meazly bread portion was stale. The very tiny side of whipped potato was too salty to eat. If you only want steak without sides, you will be happy. The baby carrot side had 6 small overcooked carrots, about $1.25 each! We will not be back.
The food and drinks are overpriced The quality of food, prep & taste were below par. Part of the top of the salmon was extremely salty. The brocolini was drenched in soy sauce (miso sauce) and was too salty and unappetizing to eat. The steak was tough although it was supposed to be medium well. The wine by the glass was grossly overpriced. We will not return to this restaurant again and cannot recommend to family or friends. The waitress was pleasant.
Everything about our visit to Blinkers Beachside in Clearwater was phenomenal!!!! The hostess at the front door was so friendly upon our arrival and departure. She took the time to ask if we had been before (my husband has) and we discussed some of the dishes. She asked what we decided on as we left. I hate I didn’t get her name but we were there on 4/19 around 8:30. The prime ribeye was incredible!!!!! Tender enough to cut with a butter knife and no sauces needed. STACI was the BEST!!!! She was so friendly, engaging and very attentive to everything we needed to enjoy our meal and our leftovers!!!! Highlight of our trip. Shanda & James (Chip)
The meal was great. Todd is the best waiter I’ve ever had.
It was my birthday and I had such a great time. Good food, great service! I may go back next year just so Todd can sing to me again!
Waitress Haley was GREAT! My husband ordered the ribeye for $58. Half was grizzle. The macaroni and cheese side dish was delicious as was the bread basket. Real bread; not loaf or crackers. I had the wedge salad which was very good. But I think I would have ordered the dressing on the side next time as there was a lot. I’m rating a 3 star because of the rib-eye being so full of grizzle. For $58, it should have been much better quality. Might return if we were staying longer. But there’s too many other places to try.
