Sure, it’s in Florida, but it’s not Giant Rodent Florida (a.k.a. Orlando) or Crazy Spring Break Florida (a.k.a. Fort Lauderdale). Rather, it’s Calm, Old-Fashioned Florida… which is something worth seeing. Oh, and the weather’s outstanding.

Undistinguished cinder block building housing very distinguished breakfast menu. Try the 7 oz. Angus steak and 3 eggs for $4.79. Then try the fantastic pork chops and eggs. This is definitely a locals joint, but it welcoms newcomers.

Its true, neither the atmosphere nor the food is fancy. But in the middle of Clearwater Beach's frenetic resort environment of expensive fired grouper, t-shirt shops, and parking challenges, there is a quaint little breakfast place you will enjoy. It is charming, very friendly, inexpensive and the food is excellent.I recommend you take a deep breath and have a great meal

It was difficult to decide what to order for breakfast, because the menu offers nearly everything one could want. Our server was ready with recommendations which helped narrow down my choices; no one in our group was disappointed with her order. Just a couple of things to be aware of: this is a very popular place on Saturday mornings, and parking is limited. Donât leave their parking lot though because there is no easy way to get back. Secondly, because Lennyâs is popular, there is a bit of pressure to eat and leave. If you want a leisurely breakfast or to visit with friends, avoid Saturday.

I had the fish Reuben and it was delicious. Multiple local beers on tap which was impressive. Not fancy but if you like that, this place will make you feel at home. Two thumbs up.

This was our second visit to Sea-Guini and it was as we remembered it. Exceptional, knowledgeable, kind, attentive staff. Fabulous food. Amazing Brussels Sprouts, Bisque, Mussels, Scallop special, Bolognese, Linguine con vongole, Lobster Pappardelle, and the scrumptious desserts.

A delightful neighborhood cafe serving breakfast, lunch and Sunday brunch in a casual, yet upscale atmosphere. Dine inside or outside on our dog-friendly deck.

We came to Florida for our 20th anniversary trip and visited here twice. We will definitely be back. This cafe was cozy, perfect, and everything was absolutely delicious! Everyone we came in contact here, and at the bakery next door, were extremely friendly. We highly recommend!

My husband and I ate here on our last morning unfortunately, because we would have been back for more! The service was super and the food was spot on. I mean everything... you will not leave hungry- and will probably clean your plate if even possible! We purchased a broken egg coffee mug- well actually two of them- not knowing how pricey they were!!! But great place!Thanks for giving us a try and leaving the great review. We're delighted your breakfast with us was excellent and that the food made such a great impression. We can't wait to see you again next time you're in town!

Clearwater Beach's newest restaurant. Island inspired cuisine. Fresh seafood. Hand crafted signature cocktails. Happy Hour served daily from 11:00am-7:00pm and 10:00pm-Close. Live music. Stunning sunset views.

Informal restaurant that offers up the usual fare of burgers, seafood, beer and cocktails. The service is slow, both in the evening and morning (we ate breakfast here on our last day as it was close to our hotel), and whilst they are slow to serve, they are quick to return with the bill!Food quality is good. Portions are typically American and generous. In fact my dish was so large, I couldn't finish.Given the "sports bar" style and layout, it can get a little rowdy when there is a game on. So bear that in mind if you are visiting with small children.If you're looking for a beer and half decent burger, then this not a bad spot. But fine dining it most certainly is not.

Oyster shucker right when you walk in is pretty cool, and the variety and price of the oysters is great, and they were fresh. The rest of the menu was interesting but nobody really loved the food. We were a large group which is difficult, but the service was pretty rough (we had 2 people finish their meals before some others were brought to the table).Jasno, thank you for the very nice rating and feedback. We are so sorry to hear you did not enjoy a great meal with us and are so sorry to hear you left disappointed. What youâve described is far below the Clearwater Oyster Company standard and we would like to look further into this issue. I would greatly appreciate if you would email me at [email protected] with more details about your visit (date/time, what your party ordered, if you spoke to a manager, receipt #, last 4 digits of card used for payment if applicable, etc.). With more information, we will be better able to address and correct the issues you experienced. We hope for the opportunity to make things right and show you we are capable of much better.

Am really disappointed by our experience of this restaurant. Had visited a couple of months ago and enjoyed the food it tasted delicious. Unfortunately after tonight the food was terrible! The only way the pasta bolognese could come out that dry dry was to be repaired before and then microwaved. I told the waiter that it was way too dry... dried out meat no sauce l couldn't eat! So my a fellow guest gave me a piece of chicken which I left on side of plate after telling waiter it's way too dry they took it away and returned with another plate which l found the picece of chicken... reheated and replated absolutely gross. I won't return or recommend so dissatisfied with the whole experience. What's happened to this place ? Best place for my leftovers was the bin.
