Best Restaurants for Groups in Madeira Beach

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.

We dined there twice when staying at the Hotel Zamora. We had a nice dinner the first night we checked in. They served buffet on the Valentine’s Day. They confirmed three times to make sure we knew it’s buffet only, not serving the regular menu. The buffet was good with delicious seafood tower, beef tenderloin and dark chocolate covered strawberries. It’s quiet and nice with outdoor seating facing the bay. The hotel is a beautiful property.

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.

Amazing experience overall, Holly was awesome. It was pretty loud and difficult to have a conversation. The music playlist was 70s hits, love that. The food was outstanding! We started with the crab rangoon dip, this was the best crab dip I’ve ever had. The fish and chips were fluffy, fresh and light. The Tuna Poke bowl was flavorful and refreshingly delicious. To end the meal, the key lime pie was like pudding, so amazing!

Outside table was too windy so they quickly located a table for 8 inside. Only able to use one free appetizer even through we had 8 people at our table who each ordered an entrée. Food was good. Sevice was fine. Enjoyed the trivia.
