“A very pleasant surprise that we stumbled upon. We decided to drive back into IMG at the 53rd Street entrance. We found the Legacy hotel. That’s where we found the cozy Icon grill. It happened to be happy hour an appetizers were half off along with drink specials. The food was excellent and we have shared this special place with many friends. The atmosphere was a bit loud since it sits almost in the hotel lobby. The outside is quiet and beautiful, sitting on a small lagoon.“

“Everything was perfect. The Kona rubbed NY strip steak was cooked exactly as requested and delicious. The salmon was also excellent. We loved the mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. Service was impeccable. Yes, this is a pricey restaurant but well worth it if you want to treat yourself to an upscale, relaxing dinner.“

“An Exquisite Culinary Gem — Worth Every Bite and Every Moment! Euphemia Haye is nothing short of a culinary treasure on Longboat Key — a rare combination of world-class cuisine, romantic ambiance, and impeccable service that turns a meal into a memory. Extraordinary doesn’t begin to cover it. 😊Every dish was prepared with intentionality, artistry, and flavors that sing. The peppered steak was cooked to perfection, bursting with bold seasoning and succulent texture. Even the salads were elevated: fresh, inventive, and beautifully plated. But wait until you ascend to the Haye Loft — a magical dessert and after-dinner cocktail lounge unlike anything we’ve experienced. We were dazzled by the live music, the cozy, retro-cool vibe, and of course… the legendary dessert bar. From the banana cream pie to the flourless chocolate torte, every sweet was handcrafted, decadent, and delightful. Service was flawless throughout. The staff were knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food and experience. They anticipated our needs before we even realized we had them — the mark of true hospitality excellence. Whether you’re celebrating something special or simply want to enjoy one of the finest dining experiences in Florida, Euphemia Haye is unmissable. It’s more than a restaurant — it’s a destination. And we’ll be returning every chance we get. Bravo to the entire team!🌟“
