First of all… The Bearded Clam is no longer. It’s now called Tarpon Bay Grill and Tiki Bar. New ownership needs to take initiative and update Google maps. I understand there are MANY other things to do when a restaurant changes names, but, updating Google Maps needs to take precedence. That’s how we ended up going to this place anyway… By Googling “Water front seafood near me”… we won’t be back. The atmosphere is a little disjointed and no one was at the inside bar the whole time the rest of the party was eating. Service was slow, despite 10 people being there. We ( 4 adults, 1 child) ordered drinks and I was going to order a dozen oysters but I told the waiter I would like to see one before I commit to the dozen. I said “I will purchase one if you can’t show em to me.” The waiter said okay and I told him, “I’m gonna take my daughter to the bathroom, bring it when we get back.” He said okay. When we returned the oyster had come and gone and when I asked if he could have left it, he said he was not allowed to leave it on the table and had to take it away. So I asked if he could bring it out again and he said “No. I can’t.” My wife took a picture of it for me but… How rude. Just tell me they are out, how bout send the chef out, anything other than disregard my request for bringing em out now that I was back to the table, then denying my second request out right. Turns out, I didn’t eat anything. I will not settle for “hidden” food that would add to a bill, that this waiter was getting 20% of. The food got 3 stars because it came out pretty fast… 5-7 minutes, the poppers were giant, and everything was hot and crispy! GREAT FOR EVERYONE ELSE!

Great atmosphere, good service. Conch was horrible, it was tough not sweet at all. Chicken nachos also were horrible the cheese overpowered the whole dish. You needed a fork to get the cheese to come apart. I was extremely disappointed. Very cool setting on the water and Tori was very attentive.

I love this place. It’s on my list of top restaurants I want to visit again. The food and drinks are great as is the service. Thank you Matt and Tori for just excellent service and pouring outstanding drinks. Let’s talk atmosphere which can make or break a place. Located on the water front where the locals dock their boats to enjoy this establishment. If you stick around you will find these locals to be cool AF and nice as ever. I will def be back. Thanks guys

Nice view of boats on water. Cuban sandwich was ok. Bottle beer wasn’t very cold. Bartender needs a personality. Waitresses were good!
