Backwater’s on Sand Key
From guest blogger Beauty & the Feast
Like a retired schooner that’s outlived her glory days upon the open sea, Backwaters’s On Sand Key rests at the scenic edge of Clearwater Beach dishing out galley grub to serve a variety of ocean-front appetites. Deep navy blue walls and linens meld with dark wooden paneling and furniture to create a casually ship-shape atmosphere catering to both visitors hunting an authentically seaside scene and patrons seeking relaxation at their usual table.
Kelly’s Serves up Chic-A-Boom Sauciness
From guest blogger Beauty & the Feast
As I glance from the trendily clad white-blond mannequin posing in the front window, to my waiter rushing past a diner-style order window with plates on both hands and skin-tight denim shorts painting his legs down to the calf, and finally back to the vibrant chili pepper salt and pepper shakers set before me, a single word fills my brain… saucy. Even in reflecting on my experiences with the restaurant later, saucy remains the only adjective to appropriately depict the place. Jauntily standing in the heart of downtown Dunedin, the name truly says it all; this is Kelly’s, For Just About… Anything!
Agave is a Welcoming Oasis in the Sand
By Beauty and the Feast, Guest blogger
There are truly innumerable motivations behind creating and maintaining an eatery… love of food, passion for people, artistic expression, cultural enrichment, etc, etc. Naturally, a grand mesh of such driving forces lies at any restaurant’s core. That being said, often times, when an establishment does not necessarily match with our preconceived expectations, a diner may step away with jumbled judgments concerning said restaurant’s intentions; thus was my primary experience with Agave.
Forget a Day of Rest and Try Sunday’s Fine Dining
From guest blogger, Beauty & the Feast
Occasionally, you come across a truly distinctive eatery, the likes of which revives your faith in eating outside the humble abode. A place that you yearn to introduce companions to, where you feel satisfied in laying hard-earned cash on the table, a place that steals a coveted position within your go-to dining repertoire. The newly discovered destination may be a posh café, the sophisticated fine-dining venue that remains in-step with couture cuisine, or perhaps one of those relaxed types serving eclectic comforting classics… and rarely, it’s a beautiful collage incorporating all of the above. That is precisely what I found in taking a seat at Sunday’s Fine Dining, where everyday feels “easy like Sunday morning”.
Lenny’s Review
From guest blogger, Beauty & the Feast.
Sometimes, you just want to go where everybody knows your name; or, at least where somebody might care to learn your name. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Lenny’s Restaurant.
Upstairs Lounge at the Bishop Caters to a New Crowd
Walk upstairs to the new Bishop Lounge and you may think you are in a different building. The new Lounge is nothing like the 20- something Tavern downstairs. With freshly varnished floors, granite bars and reserved tables, it is obvious the concept is aimed at another demographic completely.
Did Bowled Bowl Me Over?
With the holiday rush of running last minute errands, who had time to make lunch Christmas Eve? I didn’t, so my son and I stopped in at Bowled on 4th Street to get some take out. Folks keep asking if I have been to Bowled yet, so I thought we’d check it out.
