I believe the Gulf Grill Combo is one of the best meals I've had in my life. I got it blackened, and it is spectacular. The vibe is so relaxed and friendly. Gets very busy at night. I've had dinner there a few times, and lunch several times. You can't beat the location at any Clearwater restaurant, as you are directly on the beach. Parking is usually available at the public lot next door. Even when I don't stay at the Palm Pavilion hotel, I make an effort to come eat here.
Great find here in Clearwater. The prices are very reasonable. Plenty of options of surf and turf type food. It will be easy finding something for everyone in your party. A full bar with reasonable priced drinks was a lovely bonus. We sat on the deck area which sits a top the sand to the beach. This created a wonderful view to see the sun go down. There was also some live music to keep the vibes going.
We had dinner here to cap off a day spent on the beach and a dolphin tour. Our waitress was very friendly. We are big fans of strawberry daiquiri and Pina colada drinks, both did not disappoint! Our food was very tasty, and dissappear quickly which speaks volumes. We had their burger, salmon, and the grouper dishes. The only complaint was for the salmon dish, there was an abundance of rice on the dish, and the rice was rather bland. A quick sprinkle of some salt and the problem was sovled. My son was happy to have finally found a place that had coconut cream pie, however they said they had been out for a few days which was a bit of a disappointment. The atmosphere, and proximity to the beach can't be beat. They also had live music which was a fun addition. We would definitely come back.
Wife and I met my best friend, his wife and youngest son for an early dinner. Wife had the magi and I had shrimp and chicken. Lots of selections in the menu. Wife was happy with her food. My food tasted find but the plate presentations was bad. Dried food on the rim. Just didn’t look right. You can see the difference in the photos. Also, my plate made no sense they gave me what looked like Cuban or Puerto Rican rice but also Pico di gallo, salsa and sour cream? Just a strange combination to me. Again the flavors were okay but not a combination I’m accustomed to. We were too early to watch the Sun set but my buddy assured me it’s one of the best places to watch it in Clearwater. Maybe next time.
Fabulous location. We were seated outdoors, under shade, looking at the beach and ocean. Staff very friendly and attentive. Food was very good, not great. But would be happy to return
Our group of three stopped in on our way to the beach. The waitress was friendly but clearly overstretched; I guess most places are these days. My Palm burger was good but the meat flavor was lost in all the toppings. Another person’s salad was OK but didn’t elicit any real compliments. The low point was the grilled chicken sandwich our third had. The meat was dried out and too tough to easily chew. When I brought this to the attention of the waitress she apologized and offered to try again, but we declined. When the bill came I was surprised to see no deduction for the unsatisfactory meal. I pointed that out to the waitress and said I’d be OK with paying for a side of fries, since those had been eaten. She talked to her manager who then comped us for half the chicken sandwich. Was disappointed to have to force the issue.
With live music all day and a great location on the beach the Palm Pavilion Inn is a must stop while in Clearwater Beach. Good service…affordable prices and a tasty Grouper sandwich…will definitely return and recommend.
Live music many afternoons and evenings. Visited on a Sunday between 1 & 5 PM when Ryan Pope performs regularly. Love the new improved menu. Enjoyed the Sunset Salad. Loved the fresh strawberry slices, chopped walnuts, raw red pepper slices, sauteed onions, goat cheese and mesclun greens. Liked the sweet raspberry dressing which I ordered on the side. Ordered it with grilled grouper. Grouper was very fresh and well prepared but had an odd texture which I believe grouper does have. I think I should stick to grouper sandwiches in the future and order salmon or seared tuna on the yummy Sunset Salad. Unsweetened iced tea was tasty and refreshing. Joshua is an excellent server.
a really nice spot for some light seafood and a beer. Great spot, good service and the live music was very good too. recommended.
Went here for lunch. Casual place literally on the beach. Service was great as was the food. Vegetarian and vegan friendly. Drinks were good. Got chips and guac to start which was super fresh and the black bean burger was surprisingly flavorful. Fries were good, although the same fries seemed to be served all over the island. Overall great experience. Would definitely recommend.
