Best Casual Restaurants in Lake Sarasota

We come down to Sarasota 1 or 2 times a year and one of our favorite places to dine is Dry Dcok Waterfront Grill. Tonight we had a table overlooking the bay. The service was great. Food outstanding as usual. I had Tuscan cream sauce over linguine with grouper. My husband had the grouper boathouse tacos. Both were delicious. The grouper is always fresh. Also had the lobster bisque, very good! Can't wait til our next dinner there!

First time at this location. We are wine club members and had the opportunity to be waited on by two very good employees in training, one at the wine counter and the other at our table. Both were very knowledgeable and very helpful. We will definitely return to this location again soon for fantastic wine and food!

Great service and place was nice. Food was alright for the price. Loud and busy and better like beer.

The food and ambience were top notch, however, our server, Lucy, was the best part of our night. She was kind, informative and extremely accommodating! We had the most amazing dinner and even better service and we cannot wait to come back!!

This was our first visit here. We were seated immediately at the exact time of our reservation, had a nice pub table outside on a nice evening, and the food was delicious and the service was prompt and attentive. We were there on Taco Tuesday, so the discounts made the meal a very good value. We will be back.
