A jewel, a gem, a precious place!

My husband finally agreed to go to lunch with me. Although this is one of my favorite things to do, he does not enjoy it.   We were driving along Indian Rocks Road and I remembered a friend telling me about a great place in Belleair Bluffs. I am so glad we stopped in, as it will be one of our new "spots!" 

Jewel Cafe' and Tea Room is located at 2601 Jewel Road in Belleair Bluffs.  They are open from 7am-2pm on Sunday and Monday and 7am-3pm Tuesday through Saturday.

The restaurant has about 10 tables  with seating ranging from 2 to a large party.  (I think it would be necessary to call ahead for a group.)















My husband was very excited to see that breakfast is served all day. I decided that I too, would have breakfast for lunch. We placed our orders and were immediately served nice warm mini muffins.  What a treat! An appetizer at breakfast!

 I was debating whether to order the eggs Benedict  ($7.50) or Mom's sausage gravy and biscuits ($4.95) , so I went with the eggs Benedict and a cup of sausage gravy ($1.50) on the side.  

My husband, who is super particular about his omelettes, had the house omelette (ham, bacon, onion, peppers, tomato, mushrooms, spinach [$6.95]). Both were served with either home-fries (fresh cut red potatoes) or grits. He also had a choice of white, wheat or marble rye toast.  The marble toast was outstanding!

 I normally do not post pictures of the menu, but I decided to be different today and show them.

Kids meals, for children 10 and under, are available for $3.95.

Tea Parties and Private groups by reservation. Party platters and catering are also available.  Call 727-518-7901 for more information.

Hidden Gem in Shopping Center!

I have been to the Publix shopping center at Bardmoor thousands of times. I have walked from Publix past the Clubhouse Restaurant hundreds of times and never bothered to enter.  I finally decided to try it and I am so glad that I did!  I am sad only because I could have been eating there for a long time now!

We arrived just after the lunch rush and the waitresses were busy clearing tables.  They offer several lunch specials, so it took me a while to figure out what I would be eating.

 The lunch specials are served from 11am-4pm.  There are ten different options ranging in price from $6.79 (chunky chicken salad criossant) to $7.49 (Steak-a-delphia). 

My friend new immediately that she wanted the Bacon Lettuce Tomato Sandwich ($5.49). She was given a number of different side item choices. 

 I decided on the Cobb Salad - mixed greens topped with grilled chicken breast, crumbled bacon, cheese, hard boiled egg, diced tomato and bleu cheese ($7.59)

The restaurant was very clean and the servers were friendly and helpful.  The ladies behind me were raving about the quiche and the eggs Benedict. Both were thoroughly enjoying their meals. Breakfast is served all day. This is a great place to go - especially when you want breakfast for dinner!

The tables could be pushed together to accommodate a large party.  Restrooms are located in the back of the restaurant. Be prepared to walk through the kitchen!  I think it keeps the chefs on their toes byby keeping everything clean and orderly.

 The clubhouse is open Monday through Saturday from 7am - 8pm and on Sunday from 7am to 1pm and can be reached by calling
(727) 397-9251.

Physical address is 10801 Starkey Road Suite 24.
