Best Restaurants for Groups in Pinellas Park

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!

Don’t underestimate this Doc Fords location. Nice setting on the water. Music in their patio and with this bra weather — it doesn’t get any better. Food was delicious. I had one of their new menu additions— the pork chop. Large chop and cooked to perfection. My husband had oysters and the Yucatán shrimp. This is his go to and once again it did not disappoint.

Their Valentine dinner started off nice with a rose, but to get more tables in they had small round tables that were really not big enough. You could not get your legs in and out without fighting with the table. Our waitress was great and we never had to ask for anything. Lobster appetizers were fabulous, salad was good, we chose the tomahawk steak and lobster tail. Steak was cooked just right and had the best flavor, the lobster was tough and rubbery, and we didn’t get our sides right away, like they forgot them. Dessert was good so overall it was a good dinner.

We had a fantastic dinner here with a group of friends. The food is always great and the atmosphere makes it easy to talk and usually not too crowded. 

Everything was really good. The meal was more than plentiful. We enjoyed our evening.
