Date night before a concert at nearby Ruth Eckerd, we followed the advice of prior reviews and tried this place out. So glad we did!

My wife had the lobster and crab bisque and sesame shrimp and Asian noodles appetizer as a main course. I ordered 2 Happy Hour apps, the pork belly steam bun and chicken lettuce wraps, and for my entree I had the bacon wrapped steak medallions and risotto. Every item ordered was perfectly presented and prepared…just delicious and satisfying.

Restaurant has a classy yet causal atmosphere. I recommend without hesitation!

We enjoyed our dining experience from start to finish. Our sweet hostess Pula, patient and accommodating server Jade, and manager Frank would check on us making sure we were pleased w/ everything while also helping his staff by answering the phone and seating customers.
Every bite of the food was amazing and it just kept getting better with each dish. Hats off to the chef! This was our first time and have made plans to return.

Join Tampa Bay Food Tours as we eat our way through some of the newest—and most delicious—local restaurants, sampling standout dishes and sharing our honest recaps along the way.

One of the highlights of our Dunedin Food Tour is a stop at Hog Island Fish Camp, so we were especially excited to visit their Safety Harbor location, Water Oak Grill.

Safety Harbor boasts an eclectic mix of locally owned, independent restaurants, with nearly every cuisine represented—and represented well. With so many great options, choosing where to dine can be a challenge, but Water Oak Grill is a solid choice that’s sure to please a wide range of tastes.

The restaurant itself is warm and welcoming, offering both indoor and outdoor seating. Add in an impressive variety of menu options, a strong happy hour lineup, and a quest-worthy selection of Bloody Mary’s and mimosas, and it’s clear that Water Oak Grill is truly raising the bar in Safety Harbor.

First time here last night for Valentine’s Day and what a great find this was! Excellent food, drinks, atmosphere, and service. Also very affordable for it being a higher end / nicer restaurant. Thank you for such a great experience. We will be back soon!

We came here on a rare date night out escaping our toddler (threenager) indoor seating was perfectly lit with upscale fisherman decor. I was fairly obsessed with one light in particular that looked like a large metal atom. Super cool and rustic. The bar was right next to our table so unfortunately there was a lot of gathering and grouping of the servers by the area. A little difficult to walk around if you are going / coming from the bathroom.

We ordered the following:
Drinks-
Coke Zero
Cucumber basil drink (so good)
Appetizers-
Raw oysters (extremely fresh)
Seared ahi tuna (probably our favorite dish of the night. Exquisitely seared and seasoned with a ginger dressing and the noodles were actually from heaven)
Entrees-
His was 14 oz ribeye with French fries, garlic butter and a grit cake
Mine was a 6 oz sirloin with wild mushrooms, garlic butter and a Caesar salad (which we split)

I will say this was one of the most shockingly perfect meals I have ever tasted. Not one dish was unbalanced or cooked anything short of excellence. I overtipped on purpose to show my gratitude because the waitress and refills were also timely. Hostesses were personable.

Great experience!

Great place to enjoy a hearty meal. The daily specials are delicious. Wide selection of cocktails and ice cold tap beers. The fresh seafood plates are a must eat.

Update: always our favorite place on a random Sunday for great food (best crab cakes ever!) drink, and wonderful service. I forgot my purse today which they kept safe until we were able to drive back to get it. Thank you so much! We come about once a month, because the food and service are consistantly high quality. The Sprouts and Swine off the Specials menu were delicious today! Thin crispy brussels and tender pork belly perfectly paired with balsamic and feta.

The food was cooked perfectly and flavorful. The service was good and the managers came around often to check in. The prices are higher than expected for the atmosphere (sport bar style). Seating is limited inside so make reservations early on the weekends.

Came for the first time tonight to celebrate a friend’s birthday. We came during happy hour! The prices were not bad at all and everything was great. I had the old fashion and it was really tasty and had the rib covered fried to start then ate the appetizer steak bites with the blue cheese fondue for my main course. Everything was awesome and we had a great time! Will definitely try to come back again!
