Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Palm Harbor

What a great dining experience! From the minute we entered to the minute we left, service was impeccable, almost to a fault. My husband and I have potentially the most annoying combination of food allergies, and they did a lot of research to ensure we were not going to be compromised. Monica, our server, was so attentive and genuine and gave us some great recommendations. Ultimately, we had the scallops and the special, which was an American snapper. Both were perfectly cooked and very lightly seasoned so as not to cover up the seafood flavors. My husband even ate and enjoyed the veggies, which is highly unusual for him. Don't leave without trying the Monica's cornbread. So delicious! The wine list was stacked with wines that complement the menu, and the beer list contained the elusive North Coast Scrimshaw, which made our experience all the more enjoyable. The ambiance is fully MCM, which I love! The noise level did increase as the evening went on, but we could still carry on a conversation. You also can't beat the location right across the water. All told, this was a fabulous dining experience, and we will be back soon!

This was our second time dining at Ulele and it was just as good if not better than the first. Despite it being Valentine’s Day the food and drinks came out in good time and everything we ordered was exactly as it should have been. The Barbacoa shrimp was delicious and the oysters are some of the freshest and best tasting we’ve had in Florida. Two of us ordered filet mignon medallions as a special and they were cooked perfectly. For dessert we had the bourbon butter cake with vanilla ice cream and it was the perfect end to a delicious meal. Overall it was an enjoyable experience and we will definitely go back again!

Mystic Fish rises to the occasion once again! We enjoyed a delicious and delightful meal with our out of town friends for Valentine’s Day. The menu provided wonderful options - we chose the Maine Lobster tails, Land and sea with lobster and filet, the sea bass and the grouper with the hogfish preparation. All dishes were cooked perfectly and served expertly by our friendly wait staff who also had a great sense of humor. Our out of town friends were duly impressed and I’m sure Mystic Fish will be on their agenda next visit.

We had a remarkable Valentine’s dining experience here. The chefs here are creative & talented & we were so happy to find a restaurant serving food like this in this area, as we have found these kind of choices to be lacking. Between the two of us we had the house made naan with liver pâté that was outstanding, the scallops starter, the sirloin and cod entrees & the most delicious goat cheesecake for dessert. Everything was cooked & seasoned to perfection and the presentation was on point. Table service was friendly and at a comfortable pace. Don’t let the location in the strip mall fool you- the food being created in this restaurant is as good as many fine dining places in big foodie cities. We will definitely be back Next time we will reserve for seating at the bar so we can watch these chefs in action. Bravo!👏🏻

Food was very good quality for the price. Wednesdays had a $3 discount per meal which was a nice surprise. The separate pastry shop, everything looked delicious but I found the frosting was too heavy and greasy.
