Water Oak Grill

Our server, Taylor, promptly greeted us and settled us in with drinksWell cut Stone Crab 1 lb Medium. Fresh.Watermelon &Arugula with Feta and pecans. The dressing - we mixed the Chipotle with a Lemon herb based - zesty and delicious. The atmosphere was casual and offers sitting inside and outside. Prepare for a little wait but overall we enjoyed the venue, it was lively especially at night and it is a great place to lunch at ( not as lively and loud). My Hubs and I both enjoyed the Watermelon $ Argula salad ( I have tried to make it at home). Delicious. Paul loved the Stone Crab. Great recommendation to take the family ( call ahead if you got a nice group or if you're looking to sit inside especially during dinner times). The area is in the heart of Safety Harbor which is growing like crazy, but there's plenty to see and walk around in that area. The food is fresh here and I love their Fries too. Now I am hungry again. They offer a good mix of a healthy bad with that fine dining class.

Went for a girls "night" and I say that because we actually went at 4pm to better take advantage of their AMAZING happy hour specials! We almost ordered one of everything on the happy hour menu. I wish I took more pictures, but the convo was too good. The bites were all good but not the most flavorful or best I've had. But we were delighted by how affordable the bill was at the end of the night, even with us all drinking two drinks/glasses of wine! I would go again and try some things that I skipped. Would definitely go again!

Cute spot with traditional food done right. The menu offered the staples, seafood, beef, chicken, etc. All dishes were prepared well with tasty sides to match.The atmosphere was nice yet casual with seating indoors and out. We grabbed dinner before a show at Ruth Eckerd and it was the perfect spot for us.

Safety Harbors little secret. Great food & atmosphere. Walt knocks it out of the park again!

We had a memorable dinner with family here, on our last night in Safety Harbor. We really did save the best for last.The atmosphere is a little more upscale than restaurants near it, but it still has a casual FL vibe. Watch for items that read "Market Price" because, as you would expect, they are pricey, but sure to be great quality food.The servers are delightful, and the decor is unique and artfully pleasing. Our server, Anna, was fabulous and took time to explain menu items and take care of a gluten-free diner at our table.The Build-Your-Own Bao (or lettuce wraps) were my favorite things I tasted. The bao was soft and lightly grilled. We ordered the pork belly, and the fresh noodles, carrots, cumbers, and Asian dipping sauces complimented the meat well. It made for a salty, sweet, cool, and flavor-filled experience with every bite.I ordered a white sangria and Cesar salad with grilled shrimp.Everyone's meal at our table was tasty and impressive. It was over $200 for dinners for 5, drinks, and 2 apps.I hear Zukie's desserts are incredible, but we were all too stuffed for dessert.

We were in safety harbor and wanted to try something new. The menu sounded delectable, so we chose Water Oak Grill. The kids loved their chicken tenders and fries with ranch. My husband and I were underwhelmed with our meals. We started with the ahi tuna which was fishy and not super tender, had a bit of a chewy consistency. We usually love ahi tuna, but we would not recommend it here. We did however enjoy our side Caesar salads. For entrees we had grouper and crab cakes. The grouper was fine but the crab cake was also on the fishy side. The garlic mashed potatoes were fine as well. We ended the evening with blackberry lemonade pie--our favorite dish of the evening--and a slice of chocolate cake--which tasted like it was bought at a supermarket. Unfortunately we won't be back, it cost far too much for subpar food.

We went for brunch on a Sunday but we ordered of the regular menu. The restaurant is really cute and cozy and the service was top notch. I got a couple martinis and they were delicious! The drinks were definitely the best part of the meal (except the company of course). We ordered a few apps, shrimp/lobster bisque which was just ok. No pieces of either in the soup unfortunately. We also ordered the crab and shrimp dip which was very bland. The blackened steak bites were good but the "fondue" was extremely watery. The short rib fries arrived in a huge portion. I can't comment as I didn't have any of those. My friend ordered chicken fingers for her meal and said they were good. Our other friend ordered the crab crusted grouper and wasn't impressed. My hubby ordered the bacon wrapped scallops with risotto and before it was even brought out, we were told they won't serve the risotto bc it was bad so he got it with mashed potatoes. It was literally 3 scallops with a scoop of mashed. Definitely not worth the price we were charged. I ordered the blackened seafood trio with rice and veggies. The seafood was all overcooked and the rice was bland and undercooked and veggies were not seasoned AT ALL. The sauce it came with was also very watery. My friend also ordered a Caesar salad and thought the dressing was missing but was told it was an oil based dressing which we thought was strange. All in all, we had a ton of laughs and the drinks were good but we won't be returning.

Great place, just popped in for a drink and a snack. Waitress was great very attentive. Food was yummy and fresh, service was great and it had a comfortable feeling. Could stop in sit at the bar have a drink and then walk around town, then maybe come back for some great food!

Fantastic service by Savanna( hope we got the spelling correct). She explained the Happy hour menu and told us 10 minutes before it ended in case we wanted to order more food and drink. We ordered more grouper bites. They were delicious and a nice portion for $7 during happy hour. The beer choices were great and very enjoyable for $4/pint.We also had chicken and wild mushroom lettuce wraps. Also delicious.The outdoor seating was nice and not too hot for us. The inside seating was full. This place was hopping and rightfully so. We will be back. We hope to see Savanna again.

Love the beef with blue cheese fondue!! It was AMAZING!!! It gets a little loud at night but everything I have eaten has been amazing including the stone crab !! The service is good and it is my new favorite date restaurant. :)
