Rusty's Bistro - Clearwater Beach

Today, I arrived in Clearwater and was looking for a nearby place to eat near my hotel. I found this restaurant located in the Sheraton hotel right on the beach.

I have been wanting to try this restaurant since I was staying at the Sheraton. I usually don't dine at the hotel restaurants, but I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the food was.

The restaurant was a pleasant surprise - quite good, although not flawless. It was definitely worth stopping in for a meal during a busy early evening. We began with the crispy Risotto balls, which were delicious.

I held my wedding on August 5th at Sand Key Beach and hosted our reception dinner at Rustys. Our experience at Rustys was outstanding from the beginning. Giana was prompt in responding to all of my emails during the planning process and did a fantastic job setting up the tables and decorations. We had our own dedicated waiters who were attentive throughout the evening and even took some wonderful photos of my husband and me. The food was the highlight of the night - the prime rib and seafood buffet were delicious! Many of our guests raved about it, calling it the best wedding food they have ever had. We returned the next morning for the breakfast buffet, which was equally tasty. I highly recommend Rustys and the Sheraton at Sand Key. We will definitely visit again. Thank you to Rustys for being a part of my perfect wedding day!

I have dined at this restaurant multiple times. I brought my daughter and her grandmother once, my son for his birthday, and my husband on another occasion. I enjoy the atmosphere, although it could be a bit different on the buffet and offer better choices on the menu. Overall, it is still a great place. I particularly love it when they have a piano player - it adds to the dining experience.
