Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Indian Rocks Beach

We had a fantastic time 12-27-24. Dinner was outstanding I had the prime and my date had the sea bass. It was my birthday and everyone went out of their way to wish me a happy birthday. Our server Bryan was excellent quick with service and getting anything we needed. It is a little pricey so be sure to check out the menu to see if it fits your purse.

Our meals were fabulous! Steak was cooked perfectly and had a wonderful flavor. The crab cakes were perfection - lots of crab meat inside and a thin layer of crisp breading on the outside. Our cocktails were tasty as well. Our server was attentive and helpful. The background music was a little loud but not so much we couldn’t have a conversation. The only thing I found a bit odd was the smell of the restaurant - it’s not a bad smell but maybe an air freshener smell that makes for a weird combination with the smells of food. Overall - highly recommended!

We sat under the covered patio and it was a lovely evening for it. We ordered a cup of the lobster bisque and the seasonal butternut squash and crab bisque - both very good but I fancied the seasonal one better. We shared the burrata, lobscargot and the tuna sashimi. Everything was very fresh. Hard to mess up burrata. Lobscargot was delicious - great for those not willing to go for escargot. The tuna sashimi could lose the Old Bay seasoning - kinda messes up the flavor; too salty. But otherwise fresh and tasty.

We were seated on time with our dinner reservation. We opted to sit outside which was a beautiful evening overlooking the Intracoastal waterway. The service was timely and the waiter was friendly enough. Everyone enjoyed their selection of entrees and we indulged in the flan and the guava turnover for dessert which was delectable. We were glad we chose to sit outside because we noticed the noise level inside was quite loud. We have been to the Columbia Restaurant numerous times and the food quality and taste remains consistent. Always enjoyable.

This was a great find. Food was excellent. Superbly presented and the wine pairing for the food was perfect. It is definitely value for money. Sadly we are on holiday otherwise we would definitely go back.
