I have traveled to Florida since I was big enough for a car seat, which has been all my life. My parents and I started coming to Clearwater Beach when I was a 5th grader and the first time here we stayed at what was then the Clearwater Beach Motel. I must say that things have changed since then. I'm now almost 30 years old and we're still coming to Clearwater Beach. Now we are staying at the revamped Clearwater Beach Hotel and enjoying the old section of the hotel. As an adult I appreciate even more now the magnificent sunsets and the relaxation that is so evident as soon as we get here. It's like a little piece of heaven, literally. I love the ocean and there's really nowhere else on earth that I can imagine relaxing as much as I can here. This is the ultimate vacation destination for us and will continue to be for years to come.

"Wow, this is Paradise !! This is my first visit to Clearwater Beach, and it is a place that I will return to for years and years to come. The white sand, the glistening water, the tiki bars, and the friendly atmosphere have made my vacation, one that I will remember forever!"

Frenchy went to a bigger venture with "Frenchy's Rockaway Grill", a remodeled beach front restaurant which opened in November of 1991. Rockaway Grill is located right on the white sandy Clearwater Beach overlooking the Gulf of Mexico.


Often called "The Original", "Frenchy's Cafe" opened its doors in 1981. From the start, Frenchy and his partner Pete and their friends worked together creating, cooking and building something they could be proud of. The goal was to introduce a restaurant with casual atmosphere and the freshest seafood possible.


The Salt Rock Grill is about burning passion for delectable food, enticing drink and pleasurable surroundings... The first Indians and early settlers to arrive here were driven by similar appetite... Mostly fishermen, they camped along shores lined with huge saltrock boulders. While the sun was melting into the Gulf, big crackling fires were built in open pits made of piled saltrock... All gathered around for a grilled feast that lasted well into the evening... This old beach tradition is legendary, and it´s still on fire at the Salt Rock Grill - plus, no mosquitoes...

Each of Frenchy's three restaurants has it's own unique charm and signature dishes. Frenchy's Saltwater Cafe was inspired by the "Original Cafe" in March 1989. Lines were growing "down the block" to get into the Original Cafe. The Saltwater opened to keep up with demand for Frenchy's unique style of fresh seafood.
