““We recently returned to check out The Study, the new speakeasy inside the doctor’s office. It was amazing! I can’t say enough about the food and drinks, some that was available only in The Study. The dark, rich decor made us feel special. It was an amazing experience. I can’t imagine going back and not requesting a seat in The Study!”“

“Had a quick chill lunch with my bff, sat outside. Craig’s service was above and beyond!“

“Amazing staff - so kind and fun! And the food is delicious!“

“Omg.. don’t sleep on this place. Happy hour is great…. Great prices on drinks and food oysters were on point…the buffalo shrimp were some of the best the smoked fish dip was outstanding and the happy hour house magirita was as good as I have had… Patrick was the bar tender and did a fantastic job…
If we lived in the area it would be our hangout spot. Great job“

“In reference to our dinner last evening April 18, 2026. The seating for our table of 7, was very tight seating. The Mrs. and I had the Bolognese, hers was gluten free, both of us had a terrible night sleeping with many bathroom issues. Additionally, I was surprise to see on top of the $200. cash tip I provided, there was an additional tip of over $100.00 added to the check. The waitress that was extremely nice, did not make me aware that there was a tip already added to the check, resulting in a tip of over $300. which in my opinion is a little overboard.“

“Fabulous experience!! Great service and amazing food! Highly recommend!!!“

“A Longboat Key gem. Great food and menu.“

“Totally worth the wait for their re-opening! Absolutely amazing food and cocktails and not as pricey as one would think! Amazing, knowledgeable staff…listen to what they say and you won’t be disappointed.“

“Kate was exceptional as we had 9 women who arrived thinking we had reservations! I had made reservations in key largo!!! Kate immediately attended to us and quickly cleared and sat a table for 9, even though they were really busy. Brian was our server and handled our service and he was excellent as well. Yummy food with a friendly atmosphere topped our evening! Thanks again Lazy Lobster in LONGBOAT key!!!!“

“Great place for drinks, come by boat all the time.“

“What a great find! Drinks were fantastic, Bartender (Taylor) very friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you for such a fun experience.“

“Don't have an attitude? the host or Hostess will happily give you one. I would buy this restaurant just to fire them. Local? they'll treat you like a tourist which you would think they would be good to because they are the suckers they are dying to get in. " Hi how long for 2 people"? an hour to an hour and a half out of season.... no "I'm sorry, the wait is over an hour" nope you get "Fair enough" when you say you don't want to wait that long. no reservations yet some dude with a party of 4 just walked right in and was seated.... over rated is an understatement. AVOID ...NOT WORTH IT. Possibly the most overrated restaurant in an area of bad restaurants“

“Great place .Food is great.SRVIVE is fantastic.“

“We stopped here for dinner, after a day on the beach. The food was delicious along with the Beachside cocktail. But…. the highlight of our dinner was Collin. His contagious smile and fun personality made us feel like we were having dinner with a long-time friend. He kept us laughing and took excellent care of us. The Beach House is very blessed to have Collin as a part of your team. He truly went above and beyond to make our entire experience excellent. We jokingly told Collin that we came to the island looking for a sugar daddy. After meeting him, we would consider becoming sugar mamas :)“

“was recently at The Sand Bar for a beautiful and intimate wedding on a postcard perfect Friday night. I was not involved in the planning of this wedding leading up to that wonderful night but the Bride and Groom had nothing but good things to say about the staff here that assisted them in all their preparations. I met Bailey the day of the wedding and she was about the nicest person I have ever met. Her professionalism and organization made any help from us unnecessary. Bailey, Rick the bartender, the entire event staff, the restaurant staff and the vendors were all amazing and made the whole evening a wonderful, seamless affair for family and friends who all came out to celebrate this wonderful couple. I don’t know how they made it look so effortless and even special ordered us a perfect sunset! If you are thinking of having your special event here , you will not be disappointed. Thank you guys again for everything!“
