Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Safety Harbor

Always a delicious meal with outstanding service. It’s our favorite restaurant for special occasions. Small & intimate with a hopping bar inside a house makes it a fun atmosphere that still feels sophisticated at your table. It even has outdoor dining on the front porch. The food prepared with a French flair is hard to replicate in the Tampa area.

My husband and I dined at The Black Pearl tonight for their Christmas special, and it was truly one of the most exceptional culinary experiences we’ve ever had. We’ve previously had a three-Michelin-star experience in Mexico (2022), and this evening rivaled, if not matched, that level of excellence. Every detail was extraordinary—the food was exquisite, with each course perfectly crafted to delight the senses. The palate cleansers were a delightful and refreshing touch, enhancing the flow of the meal beautifully. We opted for the seven-course holiday special with the wine pairing, and it was worth every penny. The wine pairing was simply impeccable, a flawless 10/10, with each selection complementing the dishes perfectly. This was not just a meal; it was an unforgettable culinary journey. We’re already counting down the days until our return for our wedding anniversary at the end of January. I can’t wait to relive this incredible experience.

Everything was excellent! The scallops were delicious! Each dish ordered was a culinary treat. We will return!

A top chef serving only the finest food. Going there for 17 years and hard to believe it gets better and better each time. Massimo never disappoints with his Italian and continental master pieces. His servers have been there from day one and that says loads about this romantic gem.

The food and service was incredible! I went to celebrate my girlfriends birthday and could not have had a better experience. We received a visit from the executive chef who made it a mission to make sure we had a fantastic visit. There were several small tasting plates that were sent from chef (at no charge) because he insisted that we would enjoy them between courses. WE ABSOLUTELY DID! We will be regulars, no not sleep on this amazing place...
