The Clearwater

Just stayed overnight at the Clearwater as part of a business trip. Greatly enjoyed our dinner at the Clearwater restaurant, as well as the room and amenities. Breakfast, however, at the beach café was very disappointing.
We will probably return again for the first two, but will not have the same experience at breakfast.

We had a great visit on our recent staycation and enjoyed a reasonably cost dinner in The Clearwater. We had an 8:00 reservation, but so did the hoards of others standing around in the waiting area. A little disorganized, but we were finally seated, with a choice of window table or booth. Opted for the booth since it was just a view of the parking lot and we could see fine out the windows anyway. Our waitress, Candace, was super gracious. When she asked if we wanted butter or olive oil/​balsamic vinegar for our bread, I had to ask what kind — like if they were just dinner rolls, I’d want butter; if it was some sort of crusty loaf, I’d want the latter. She clued us in that hot bread would be coming out shortly and she would bring us the olive bread. My ribeye was not exorbitantly priced like other restaurants, but then again, it wasn’t huge. BF ordered the crab cakes and we swapped portions of our entrée. We ordered 2 smalls of the au gratin potatoes; one would have been plenty. Perfectly cheesy/​saucy in its own cast iron skillet. Several asparagus spears and a piping of potatoes were served with the ribeye, and the crab cakes received brocollini. I think the bill, with two cocktails, was under $ 100.

Yes yes yes!!! Thank you Clearwater Casino. This fine dining restaurant is a perfect addition to the casino. Food was phenomenal. Service was prompt, attentive, and extremely welcoming. Two of my friends decided to join us midway through our dinner and wait staff welcomed them as if they were expecting them.
The restaurant is clean, contemporary, and the waterview you can enjoy during your meal is divine.
Well done.

Fireworks everywhere you look, the party is still unleashed. Great music, no-​judge dancing. Unpretentious, positively happy people, probably cuz they legalized MJ. Security is tight, no joke, the staff are super friendly and helpful. They will always make exceptions for the guests that make sense with their requests.

We came here for Thanksgiving dinner, and the food was mediocre at best. The turkey and gravy were OK, but the stuffing looked and tasted as if someone had merely soaked croutons in water. The potatoes and vegies were tasteless as well. We had pecan pie for dessert and it tasted like something you’d buy at a grocery store — and I don’t mean Central Market.
The service was nice and we enjoyed our time at the bar prior to our meal. This was the first time we’d been here since the remodel. Not sure we’ll be coming again to check out the steaks.

Absolutely delicious food with great servers who paid attention to detail and tended to what we wanted
I enjoyed my time here and will definitely come back
Pricier than most but definitely worth it

Been here twice. The service both times has been horrendous. Food mediocre. The views, the potential of the menu, and the effort of the service staff will have me try one more time– in addition to the $ 50 credit they gave us due to our experience. Hope they can get it together…

Incredible. First of all, a beautiful view, friendly service but most importantly fantastic food. Everything we ordered was perfection even down to the bread and salted butter they bring you. We started with the clearwater salad, a pomegranate vinaigrette, candied hazelnuts and asiago cheese, so good! Then we moved onto the lobster mac n cheese. By far one of the top two mac n cheese I have ever had and they give you a sizeable portion of lobster. Then we went for the ribeye steak, my husband said it was the best ribeye steak he has ever had and he has tried quite a few. I had the lobster and it was very good. Then they brought out a dessert for me for my birthday, it was so nice and a great end to an amazing dinner. It was pricey but we are going back this week and bringing our family because it was so good. We have been looking for a restaurant like this on the peninsula and are glad we finally found it. Easily the best food in kitsap county.

We’ve been coming to Clearwater for several years. Typically we enjoy a fine meal at a very reasonable price. This visit we noted a few changes.
The delicious Caesar salad used to be served atop very thin crisp plate sized cracker; that was missing this visit. The peppercorn New York was served this evening without the lovely peppercorn glacé, and instead had a ground pepper substitute. The vegetable was an unappealing rainbow cauliflower (purple, yellow green) that was quite dry.
Our meal was inexplicably delayed, though the server was quite gracious. The finer details that used to make this a great date-​night dinner seem to be missing in the interest, perhaps, of cost-​cutting. We’ll give another try, but we were disappointed in our dining experience this evening.

Not sure why the other reviews were bad. Yes this is expensive but you are at a resort. We had the prime rib which was great. The mashed potatoes with Beechers cheese was delicious. Great view from this place too! Recommend reservations though as they get quite busy.

While the prime rib was good, it just came with three pieces of asparagus. Left feeling ripped off. Way overpriced, with an attitude of misplaced pretension.

Kitsap County’s best kept secret. Elegant dining, overlooking the waters of Agate Pass, with exquisite service in a comfortable atmosphere. Fresh oysters on the half she’ll were tender, sweet, and complemented with a nice viniette. Dinner consisted of excellent dungeness crab cakes and prime rib that both melted and provided tantalizing tastes for your pallet. Highly recommend this place for a romantic dinner.

Ok the 1^st review had it all wrong. This was a fabulous meal. We have been to some of the finest restaurants. I will put the Clearwater up against them. Job Well Done!!!
Ask for Crystal for the best service.

We ate here a couple of weeks after it opened and was so disappointed with the menu and the service and the quality of the food. We used to enjoy going to the cedar steakhouse and enjoyed their menu a lot and was really in «sticker shock» when we saw the new menu in the new restaurant. Everything is a l carte! $ 4 – 6 dollars for mashed potatoes! You are kidding me, right??? They weren’t even good. Salads are extra and the steaks were unseasoned and very tough an full of gristle. I couldn’t even eat it! This was after getting the spiel from the waitress about how it was better meat all locally sourced and so much better than the previous steakhouse, hence the higher prices! I sent that steak back as it was well done instead of medium rare as requested. The second steak was not any better, though there were signs of redness in the middle. Our vegetables looked gross and we didn’t even try them as they were so unappealing. I purchased a caprese salad which was ridiculously priced and it wasn’t very good. It was supposed to have a basalmic reduction which was watery and flavorless. It consisted of two slices of tomatoes and 2 small pieces of mozzarella and the basil was close to non existent. I haven’t even mentioned the service yet… It took 35 minutes to take our order. We waited forever for the first round of steaks, I had wanted prime rib but was told they were out of everything but well done prime… big disappointment there! That was the only thing on the menu that I actually wanted… my bad! I like my meats undercooked! Then waited for steak number 2! By then they were probably doing evil things to the food of the complainer at our table. Well they did come out and offer us a complementary dessert for not having prime rib to our liking. We got a raspberry sorbet which was heavenly. When the second steak came it was so tough and full of gristle though it was almost medium rare the management said they would comp my steak. I received our bill and it was still $ 80 and there were just two of us and we only had soda to drink! I was floored! Never going back there again!
