Hibiscus

This is not open to the public. It’s owned by the Church of Scientology. Be sure and drink the Kool Aid before entering.

This is a privately owned and operated restaurant for a religious retreat (not open to the public). Phenomenal food and service.

The service is spectacular!
The menu is short but diverse!
Every dish is executed well.
I get the ramen or the NY steak salad usually.
The price is way cheap for what you get!
And yes you must be a Church member to enjoy this restaurant unless there is a special event.

Accidentally stumbled in here while looking for a place to have dinner before a show at the Capital Theater. This is privately owned and operated by the Scientologist and if you aren’t a member you will be quickly escorted outside by security.

I really enjoy this restaurant, which is located just off the lobby of the Fort Harrison historic hotel in downtown Clearwater. The food is absolutely excellent. The chefs are 5-​Star certified, which is rare.
When I’ve come here with friends or with colleagues after large events or for business meetings, we’ve always received special attention from the servers. One time, when I came for a convention, they had made a custom dessert and made the logo of the organization out of sugar. It was nice to see that someone had taken the time to really be kind to us and acknowledge the work of the nonprofit organization that we were there to celebrate.
They also have a private dining room in the restaurant which can be reserved for large parties or special events like birthdays, and that’s a lot of fun.
When I’m visiting the Fort Harrison, I always make a point to have at least one meal at the Hibiscus. I consider it a Clearwater cultural experience. :-)
