Wow we had an incredible Birthday dinner with family! They reserved an amazing table in the corner right on the water for us! The calamari appetizer was incredible and the entrees even better. The wait staff was attentive and professional checking in on us throughout the meal to ensure everything was good and we had everything we needed! We came before sunset and even though we were facing East we got a wonderful sunset overlooking the marina. The place is fully accessible and the tables tiered so everyone has a decent view overlooking the water. The only drawback is the restrooms have exceptionally low toilets which are made for kids. They should have fully ADA restrooms and don’t. Thank you for an amazing night, excellent service, excellent food, and desserts! You made this very special occasion wonderful and we can’t wait to come back!

My husband took me here for my birthday. We were on a family vacation in Sarasota from Canada and I have to say this is by far the best food I have ever eaten. Dillon the owner took the time to come over and greet us and made sure our experience was top notch. The server, Katie was just wonderful! I highly recommend everyone who visits Sarasota or is in the Longboat area to try this place. The BRUSHETTA IS OUT OF THIS WORLD good! I had the pasta and my husband had the filet mignon
– which was cooked to absolute perfection *chefs kiss* followed by a dessert sampler tray which had a crème brûlée to DIE FOR! A giant round of applause for this place, from the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is beautiful and absolute stunning views of the water as well. I don’t have enough words to describe how amazing our experience was. Thank you again!

Had a wonderful dinner at the Shore. The employees were really kind, and our server was very helpful. The calamari salad was delicious, but definitely spicy FYI (I love spice!). The spicy tuna sushi rolls were AMAZING, and the burger was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The store is such a fun addition, and you can go shopping while you wait for your food or reservation. Great views and vibes!

Really beautiful waterfront restaurant with fresh seafood and fantastic service. The tables by the water are really romantic and a crisp breeze adds to the atmosphere. We stopped by for lunch not from the area, and didn’t realize how upscale the vibe is here. Thankfully we were dressed appropriately, but know this is not your typical beach bar vibe. Definitely recommend the fish tacos. Parking is very difficult on your own, so take advantage of the free valet, as it’s the only real option.

Amazing setting, very good food with excellent flavors. Strong but delicious cocktails. Free valet parking and very close to a sensational public beach on the Gulf side. Visited the restaurant on a lark and was a perfect way to end the day in Sarasota… we got the calamari and crab cake to start, followed by the grouper and snapper… oh and the truffle fries. Service was unrushed and friendly. Highly recommend!

We were so disappointed when the Shore restaurant closed downtown in St. Armands but we are thrilled to discover this location. It is going to be our go to place for seafood. It was a beautiful ride to the location. Valet parking is mandatory since there is no parking visibly available in this neighborhood area. The place is very beautifully designed. the location right on the water is stunning. We did not have reservations, but we seated immediately. Our server could not have been more helpful and gracious. He made the experience even more so. They have a wonderful drink and food menu. The truffle fries were delicious. All our entrées were wonderful. There is also a retail store with clothes and jewelry. The bathrooms were clean and modern.

We went here for lunch with friends. This is a very nice restaurant with great views of the water, multiple seating areas (one of which has fire pits) and a nicely appointed full bar. The beet salad ($15) had a lot of spring mix and a mix of sliced beets. A side of bread ($6) was an appropriate accompaniment. I had the crab salad ($35) which had plenty of lump crabmeat over spring mix and some thin sliced veggies. Valet parking is available or you can self park. The service, decor and food were all very good. Prices are in line with the upscale feel of the place.

So, we made a last minute decision to come in tonight and definitely glad we did. We decided to get a couple of appetizers and one entree to share and was pleasantly surprised at the size of the small plates. Glad we ordered light dishes so we had room to enjoy the branzino. Alexa took good care of us and the wife was happy with the expresso martini… Happy wife, happy meal 🙂

Highly recommend the Buddha’s Hand cocktail and the Lobster, Shrimp & Crab Cobb Salad — both are amazing.
Been here a few times now and it never disappoints. The views and open-air setup on a nice day are always a big vibe — perfect for relaxing by the water. Service is consistently friendly and attentive, and the drinks never miss.
The seafood is super fresh and flavorful every time.
One of those spots you just keep coming back to!

This is a regular dinner spot for us, having dined here over a dozen times. Food is delicious, but every now and then a small miss – tonight they were out of fried chicken and their house Pilsner. Overall one of the places we look forward to every trip.
