Best Waterfront Restaurants in Sarasota

We started with Happy Hour in the lounge. We had a table for 2. Service was immediate! Drinks and prices were great. We had an appetizer of the firecracker shrimp which did not disappoint. Then we moved into the dining room for early bird dining and both ordered Prime Rib. It was done perfectly. Service once again was very attentive. We would highly recommend it, had a great experience.

Great location to have dinner on the waterfront especially for birthday or other event. Food was excellent service was top shelf with Jake our server

I was hesitant to go thinking it would be average, overpriced food with limited view given it was dark. It was great! Maui Margarita was excellent and the crab encrusted grouper was a delicious surprise! Beautiful view even after dark with lights glistening and a couple of pelicans swimming to the Frank Sinatra music playing. Definitely a quiet, older crowd. A bit pricey but worth it for something or someone special or just an occasional treat!

We took 3 visiting 19 year old granddaughters to dinner. We asked for an and were seated at a window table so they could enjoy the waterfront view. The hostess interacted with them and asked from what area they were visiting. It made them feel special. My order was for the grilled red snapper and it was beautifully prepared, perhaps the best snapper I've had ever. My husband and 1 of the girls had grouper and were also pleased. 2 other girls got seafood pasta which had bounty of shrimp and crab in it. My husband and I ate the leftovers of their ample seafood pasta servings 2 days later and will agree at the yummy cheesiness and seasonings and mild fish quality and texture. I especially appreciated that meals come with choice of salad, starch and vegetable included in the price versus a la carte sides that one cannot tell the number these sides will serve. It makes for easier ordering by each person and no food waste.

Tripletail is always excellent. I had fried grouper and it was cooked to perfection. The food came out piping hot. My husband had the smoked oyster and he loved them. Cocktails are worth the money and service was excellent.
