Tate Island Grill

I have only had lunch here on several occasions. Service has always been great. The food your typical hotel outdoor bar fare. Quality has been hit or miss. Nothing to get excited about and nothing totally terrible.
The location on the beach is a plus.

Been coming here for years with family and friends. Located on the beach with live music and the food is great!

Best crab cake I have ever had. I ordered the sand which with no bun and the taste was phenomenal ! Cheese burger was good and home made chips add a nice touch. Drinks are great. We had the blue pearl and smuggler. Fair amount of liquor in each. Reasonably priced, right on the beach. Highly recommended !!

I liked this place because of the location and nice waitress. The right place to enjoy sunset. I wish I could have more shrimps in Shrimp salad. (it’s about 5 for huge plate)

I am pretty excited I have decided to add Tate’s Island Grill to my rotation of must stop spots in Clearwater Beach when I don’t have my doggie with me.
I love how it’s on the beach. I love how carefree and comfortable it is, and I love that I can feel like I’m in vacation mode.
We came for drinks. We simply walked from the beach to here, grabbed a spot by the bar, had a nice view by the pool and the lush palm trees, and drank up our frozen drinks, a Piña colada and Miami Vice — combo of strawberry daiquiri and Piña colada. Totally froo froo and fun. You can also eat here. They have apps, burgers, sandwiches, salads, and ‘sserts.
This spot is perfect for when the sunset comes. You can sit by the bon fire or the hammocks. It’s in the back of Sandpearl resort, but public are invited.
Love this spot, and our bartender took care of us. Happy Place!!!

Great view to watch the sunset. Frozen drinks were yummy, as well as the food. We ordered the guacamole and shared a blue cheese burger.

This was our favorite dinner experience, which combined a casual atmosphere, without the usual loud and boisterous beach drunk vibe, good food, and an AMAZING sunset view.
Located on the beach as part of the Sandpearl Beach Resort, this place served mostly sandwiches and salads, a few appetizer options, and a wide variety of drinks.
I had a side salad (fresh lettuce, tomato, cheese, croutons, ranch) that I would describe as a solid standard, a Cuban sandwich and house made chips. The Cuban came with mayo on the side, which I prefer, as I’m not in to overly sauces stuff. The chips were yummy. I ended up with over half my meal left for lunch back at the condo the next day.
Hubby had one of the wraps and seemed to enjoy it. We split a hummus appetizer; the pita was done well but the dip itself was not great. I wouldn’t order this again. Our server was very welcoming and attentive.
I felt that the price was very reasonable, especially for the added sunset view and atmosphere! We agreed that this was one of the most enjoyable moments of our trip!

My friends and I wanted to have dinner on the beach and watch the sunset and after reading several Unilocal reviews on different eating establishments in Clearwater this is the one I picked! The location could not be more perfect! We valet parked at the beautiful resort and sat right on the beach with THE most beautiful view! Could not have picked a better location. The only downfall is the food is wayyyyyy too overpriced! We spent $ 50 for wings, a sandwich and fries?! And it wasn’t even like high quality food. Nothing spectacular. The menu is pretty small, I kind of expected there to be a little more than what they offered. Come here for the views but eat somewhere more sensible!

The views are good but the service and food was lacking. The calamari was rubbery and flavorless. I remembered stuffed shrimp being on the menu from a few years ago. Much better choices then. Beer was served warm too.

Great restaurant if your looking for something a little more refined but still laid back and beachy in Clearwater.
Personable and friendly wait staff. Great drinks and apps (pitcher of margs) and lastly, ask for Karen. She’s the best!

This is actually part of The Sandpearl. We walked through the lobby and found it around back. We had the Gin Cucumber Fizz and it was cool and refreshing. The Caribbean Grouper Sandwich was perfection.

Great location, fresh food and acceptable prices for a hotel restaurant.
I am giving them 3 stars because the service was horrible (not friendly at all) and slow. It took them almost an hour to bring our food.
I would never visit it again.

Best food on the beach. Good he views and atmosphere. Outside seating and inside. Highly recommended

The only thing good about this place is the view & the staff. But the food is awful!!! And the appetizers are small & expensive for the portions. I would only recommend this place for drinks.
To give you an idea of the food … I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich. One of my co workers ordered a burger. But unless you like the taste of charcoal then don’t order anything that comes of a grill. Including the buns for burgers/​sandwich. I was here on buisness so money isn’t an issue since its expensed. But it was bad enough I sent it back & ate somewhere else.

You can’t find a more relaxing place to enjoy a delicious lunch with an icy drink in your hand. Tate’s is right next to the Sandpearl pool and opens right to the white sand of Clearwater Beach. The view is obviously incredible, and I like that the restaurant is open– don’t worry though, there is an indoor part in case there is rain.
The grouper nuggets here are so crispy and delicious. They are easily the best in the area. I always order the Caesar wrap with shrimp, and I am always left satisfied. The shrimp are nice and big and add a nice sweet flavor to the homemade Caesar. The house/​made chips are also worth talking about– they’re tossed in a special blend of spices and are fried to crispy perfection.
I love the drink menu here, too. I tend to typically go with a piña colada– always a good choice, but I’ve also dabbled with the blue pearl (those will get you! You don’t even notice how much alcohol is in this) and a few other mixed drinks. I just don’t think you can really go wrong with any of the drinks here. This is a place I visit almost every time I’m at the beach!

Well I can’t really say much about the food, because I haven’t tried too much of it…
But the pitcher of sangria is the best I’ve ever had.
The beautiful environment, right on the beach, may have something to do with why the sangria tastes so good though.
I go here by myself a lot when I’m stressed out and need a drink… or a pitcher :)
I’d recommend it to anyone, for sure.
At least to try it out, if nothing else.

There are few places in clearwater that offer an upscale casual eating experience like this one! This a place you certainly don’t want to miss. It is part of the sandpearl resort. It has a breathtaking views of the water. The setting is casual, and the food is pretty good. Whether to have a light lunch or you stop there for a drink during the sunset, you won’t be disappointed.

Tate Island Grill is described on the Sandpearl web site as «relaxed dining» and «casual cuisine,» and that it is, except the prices don’t reflect that. The drinks are good but they are in tiny plastic cups that are at least $ 10 each. The menu isn’t big but it has a little of everything: appetizers, burgers, wraps, sandwiches, salads, and a few steak and seafood entrees. These dishes are priced a bit high based on the taste of the food (in my opinion). For example, there’s a Jumbo Hot Dog (Hebrew National Jumbo Hot Dog with Tate’s Sweet Onion Relish Served in a Warm Bun) for $ 10. This hot dog better be darn good and big.
My bf and I each ordered a drink and for our entrees he got the Sugarcane Shrimp Salad (Baby Greens, Mango, Crisp Plantains, Chili Lime Dressing) while I got the New York Strip Steak (House Cut All Natural 8oz). Overall, the bf’s salad was good. The bf liked it just fine but I found the dressing a bit too sweet. As for my entrée, I had ordered my steak med-​rare but it came out pretty much well-​done, so I had to send it back. Once I was able to eat my steak, I didn’t care for it much. The wellness was done right this time around but the way it was cooked wasn’t quite how it should be (should be crunchy on the outside and the right temp inside). My steak entrée includes coconut rice (quite delicious) and veggies (lack taste).
We chose Tate Island Grill because of the patio seating facing the water, and from there you can watch the sunset (depends on where you sit, a part is blocked by sand dunes). If not for the great view, I doubt if I’d ever come back.

Great place! Great view, drinks, and the grouper sandwich might be a little better than Frenchy’s that is just down the beach!
Give ‘er a visit!

Had dinner here our last night in Clearwater. Great location on the beach and easy to get to whether or not you’re staying at the Sandpearl. We started out with the pulled pork nachos. Yes, they were as good as they sound. Lots of flavor with a generous amount of pulled pork and cheese layered on the chips. They were definitely filling and we probably would’ve been ok just splitting nachos for dinner. For dinner, I had the grilled salmon in a brown sugar glaze. It was good, but the glaze was thick and I could feel it sticking to my teeth. The salmon was served with veggies and rice.
While the food was good, the selling point for this place is definitely its location on the beach. Worth checking out.
