    Special Thanksgiving Dinner buffet. Food was cold and turkey was chewy. Definitely not worth 60/person . Bar closed at 7 ish during our meal. The Host was extremely personable and the only positive experience. Staff was friendly.

    We visited for the Thanksgiving buffet. All items were fresh and delicious. Highly recommend. Only constructive criticism would be to have a turkey gravy available instead of beef gravy.

    This restaurant is more so for those staying at the hotel and would like something fast to eat. My partner and I was not greeted nor approached within 5 mins of seating. One glance at the menu and I decided it was over priced for something I can make at home. If you are a minority, I don’t suggest this place.

    Our meals were delicious. Creative recipes like fried deviled eggs! Not your ordinary bread service either. There was a hiccup with our entrees which was addressed before the plates were even on the table. My filet mignon was excellent, and served in an interesting way with the mashed potatoes and asparagus. The other meal was a thick pork chop which was also very, very good. Carly was an attentive server.

    Friend and I had dinner there last night, we started with Fried Green Tomatoes, we both loved them. Then she had the Grouper Picatta, cleaned her plate even the fried caperberries, I had the crusted scallops, very tasty extremely supple and succulent scallops. We each ordered a dessert, the Key Lime Pie and the Creme Brulee Tart, both were excellent and a perfect ending to our dinner. Will definitely go back to try more from their menu. Kudos to the Chef and many thanks to our server, Natalie, for being spot on.

    This is truly a hidden gem ....We were looking for a nice place near the St Pete/Clearwater airport to eat an appetizer and have a drink after my cousin's arrival. Now while the restaurant is located in a hotel lobby and the dining room is a bit sterile (in my opinion) it does have bright fun artwork and the back patio looks over a green space with pond. What is unassuming and surprising is the food... I worked 15 years in the restaurant industry in Atlanta and hands down I was super impressed. We had the fried green tomatoes for a starter which I love and these were the BEST. Greek salad course, perfectly chopped and dressed. The main course, the Grouper Piccata.... OMG, no words. Grouper tasted fresh and perfectly cooked with a seared outside and thick filet that just would fall apart with large dense pieces to scoop up with the fried caper berries (whole berries) and handmade pasta. Perfection. Only con I would say is that they didn't have inventory of prosecco splits and only offered one chardonnay by the glass which was average, The menu has lots of artisan craft or basic list of cocktails so was disappointed for not more in the WBTG offerings. We didn't make it up to Vantage Roof Top on this trip, more due to time and weather but will be back!

    Not only is this the best hotel restaurant I've ever eaten at, it is one of the best restaurants PERIOD. Seriously, the food, the service, and the ambiance are all top shelf. I had the fried green tomatoes appetizer and it was delicious. I followed that with their pork chop which was HUGE, perfectly prepared, and had a great presentation. For dessert, I tried their creme brulee, which was light and tasty covered with fresh fruit. Whether you're a hotel guest or not, I highly recommend giving K-Bar a try.

    TJ provided over-the-top service. He was very knowledgeable about the dishes, and spoke very highly about the Chef and the Hotel ownership. If I come back for a 2nd visit, it will be due in large part to the excellent service provided. Keep TJ, he’s a great value add to the Karol.

    This was our first time to the K Club Bar & Bistro. It was a Saturday night and the restaurant was not busy. Our waiter was still learning but he was very nice and attentive. Their Salad is very tasty and nicely presented being wrapped in a thin slice of cucumber. Their signature entre of the Grouper was excellent as was the Stiped Bass entre. Overall very good dining experience. We sat inside but they have a very large outside covered dining area with views of a small lake. Later we went to the Rooftop Bar - just to see the view. This would be nice for drinks and appetizers with the expansive view of the Tampa Bay area.

    Every time we get to Clearwater we make sure we make it to the KClub and Vantage Rooftop Bar. This could be the “hidden gem” of Clearwater. The food is magnificent — a taste of heaven for the palate. Never had a disappoint meal. Always eat way too much. And The service is great. You have to try this place.

    Very disappointed overall. We made a reservation several weeks in advance to make sure the experience was memorablefor Mother's Day. Upon arrival at our reservation time we were told there were no tables available in the dining room and we would have to sit outside in 90 or the bar area. We were seated at a high top table with small children next to a very loud large party. We attempted to make the best of it but when Mom's omelette arrived it was full of tomatoes which she didn't order and specifically doesn't like. The server took it back and had it remade but by now everyone else was done eating. It was a memorable Mother's Day brunch but not for good reasons. We will never consider this an option in the future.
