Mar Vista absolutely exceeded our expectations! After spending the day kayaking at Longboat Key, we came here for a late lunch and it was the perfect way to end an already beautiful day.
The setting alone is stunning. Dining by the water, among the beautiful trees and boats passing by felt like something out of a postcard. The atmosphere was relaxed, romantic, and welcoming all at once.
The food was outstanding. Our seafood was fresh, perfectly prepared, and full of flavor, truly some of the best we’ve had. You can tell a lot of care goes into both the ingredients and the presentation. Every bite was delicious.

Took a ride to Mar Vista for lunch and had a great time. The weather was nice and sunny. We sat outside by the water and had a beautiful view. We had great service with a smile and lots of recommendations. For starters we ordered the tater tots and fried grouper bites. For our main course we ordered the stone crab claws, broccolini & Southern fried chicken entree that came with mashed potatoes, collard greens and sausage gravy. Drinks were okay.
They have lots of parking available and also valet service.

Stopped by for drinks because I had great memories of this place when I was a child and it did not disappoint! I had a spicy marg and it was pure fire! The outdoor atmosphere is super unique and thankfully they have some fans to help cool the back area on a very hot day. We had no problem getting a table and the service was friendly! Next time we are in the longboat key area, we will be sure to visit.

Fantastic place on a quiet area of the beach where you can watch the boats & kayaks sitting under some very cool trees in the sand. There are several fans deployed to keep you cool! Our server Zach was chill & informative about the menu. We enjoyed some drinks & had the calamari with a unique dipping sauce based on coconut. I liked it although my husband prefers a spicy marinara sauce. He had the chicken sandwich – was ok – kind of dry with the tasty homemade potato chips. I had the peel & eat shrimp – delish with a side of broccolini. We enjoyed it immensely & will be back!

This is not the first time we have dined at Mar Vista. We have always had great service, food and atmosphere. We came back for my husband’s birthday and as a recommendation to friends who were visiting. This evening out was disappointing compared to our prior visits. We had reservations for 6 ppl at 8 pm. The hostess struggled to find our reservation which kicked off a comedy of errors, so to speak. We had a nice table by the water, requested when making the reservation. We waited for over 10 min without acknowledgment until we went back to the host and ask if we had a server. The server (Chriztopher) finally arrived, tossed some cardboard coasters around and ask for a drink order. When asked if there were any specials, he said “no, we had red snapper but we are out so I’m not going to bother to tell you.” We ordered wine, beverages, and appetizers (tater tots, peel and eat shrimp) apps were great but slow to be delivered. We then ordered our dinner Seafood Trio (recommended), Jalapeño-glazed Grouper (recommended) and Filet minion + requested addition scallops. We were then informed they were out of scallops as well the red snapper (2 of 3 items explained to be on the Trio). We were told the fish would be substituted with another fish (although not sure with what) and in lieu of scallops we would receive some extra shrimp. Needless to say 3 orders of the Trio were changed and no add on to the steak dinner . We were told that we should not have made reservations that late because the kitchen frequently runs out. Seriously, the restaurant sets the reservation times!? Maybe a disclaimer needs to be added at time of booking! The Grouper was delicious as was described. The Trio was less than desirable without a trio and the steak was fine nothing amazing. So 3 out of 6 guest were highly satisfied for their main course. We had dessert – Chocolate Cake for 2 and Key-lime for the birthday and some expresso martinis – both desserts were fabulous. The key-lime was served and a platter with birthday wishes include which was nice. The martinis were okay. All in all our dinner ended on a good note. I would say we had dinner out but not a true dinning experience, there’s a big difference! We dined next door at the Shore the evening before (same time, same guest) and at a comparable cost. I am sad to say, the Shore blew MarVista away in all categories – service, food and atmosphere! Not sure what’s happening with MarVista, maybe they were just having a bad night. It was definitely less than we have previously experienced from a well-known favorite.

We enjoyed a wonderful meal with Ash our wonderful server. She immediately welcomed us and throughout our meal gave us great recommendations. Ash was very attentive and made us feel welcome. We were celebrating my sister and her husband 8 year anniversary. Started with delicious tater tots. Super moist and enough for four to share. Burrata and arugula salad was very good with a huge chunk of burrata. Entrees were the fresh fish – blackened grouper – which we got with super good mashed potatoes and coleslaw. Red snapper with mashed potatoes. Moist and delicious.
The best home made fettuccine ever. Flavorful and substantial. A must order!
Also an arugula salad with burrata topped with blackened scallops. Very moist and seasoned perfectly. For dessert a complementary key lime pie which was perfect! And a peanut butter pie to go. Ash made the meal memorable for us. Beautiful garden atmosphere overlooking the bay. Quiet and pleasant!

We stopped into Mar Vista for a quick drink and had a great experience! Unbeatable views, tons of seating areas and even some games to play! Wish we could’ve stayed to eat, but had a sunset cruise to get back to. Would definitely visit this spot again!

Love this place and found them by accident. Great view, service and food, and away from the tourist traps. We went back again before the end of our trip. Highly recommend them.

We loved it here.
Such a cute little vibe. My kids loved the games as we waited for our food. We arrived early and got a table immediately which was nice.
The food was absolutely delicious. Everyone enjoyed their meal. My husband really loved the poke bowl he ordered, and I was left wishing I had grabbed it too. It was delicious.

Mar Vista Dockside Restaurant and Pub offers a stunning close up view of the bay—you simply can’t get closer to the water! The friendly staff and prompt service make for a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. While the food is more on the simple, classic pub-fare side, the variety of dishes and drinks pairs perfectly with the gorgeous setting. A great spot to relax on Longboat Key.
