50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Longboat Key

“Jordan was our server last night and he was excellent. We were celebrating our 29th wedding anniversary. This is our second time eating here and it is our favorite seafood restaurant. From the cocktails that we drank to the lobster bisque and then we had grouper bites and lobster bites for appetizers. For dinner, my husband and I both had the seafood linguine with different sauces and it was good . The only thing I will mention is that the last time we ate there, my husband had the seafood linguine, and it was a lot different than what we had last night. The first time my husband had the seafood linguine, It was much more bigger shrimp and you could tell the seafood was a little bit more presentable. Whereas last night you could tell it was not as fresh, but I still give it five stars because everything was fantastic. I did not eat this last night but the last time I ate there, I had their grouper with the citrus sauce on it and that is the BEST I’ve ever had it. I highly recommend.!! We will be back again.“

“Great food and great service. Our waiter Rogelio was excellent. Very nice ambiance, highly recommend Harry's.“

“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…

“My new favorite LBK restaurant! The Grouper Ruben is AMAZING!“

“The best meal I’ve had on Longboat Key in 6 years…we did the Savor Sarasota extended meal with wine - $60/person, and everything was well above expectations: great wines by the glass, the tris di bruschetta was the best I’ve ever had, as were the meatballs, and the pastas, branzino and tiramisu all are worthy of ordering again.“

“HUGE shoutout to Kirsten! The person I’m traveling with’s flight got delayed and may even be cancelled. Kirsten was so professional, friendly and helpful. She moved our reservation to the following day so we could fully enjoy our stay. I can’t recommend Zota hotel enough! Thank you!!!!“

“Amazing staff and Excellent Dinner !“

“We had dinner at Siegfried's Restaurant on Feb. 26th - our third meal there and we always leave with big smiles on our faces. The schnitzel and sauerbraten are both excellent, as are the sides and desserts. The staff is warm and engaging and we were so happy to meet and speak with the chef/owner. The restaurant is in one of the cozy-looking cottages on Fruitville Rd and is the perfect setting for this authentic German restaurant. Be sure you make a reservation and be prepared to enjoy a fantastic German meal!“

“This restaurant is ABSOLUTELY amazing!! The food is soooo good (and original) and the service is top notch. From the beautiful smile and warmth that we were greeted to by Marilyn, to the friendly and phenomenal service by Lauren, and to the wonderful conversation and love exuding from the owner Suzanne…this place is a GEM. We were so blessed to come here for Easter brunch. Looking forward to (ALWAYS) coming back in the future!!“

“99 Bottles is one of those rare spots that gets everything right. The sandwiches and bagels are consistently fantastic—fresh, flavorful, and made with real care. Their beer selection is surprisingly great, with options for every taste. What really sets this place apart, though, is the owner. He’s friendly, attentive, and creates an atmosphere that makes you want to return again and again. Easily one of my favorite local stops.“

“Amazing spot for large groups! We hosted a networking happy hour here for a group of 50! The service, atmosphere, drinks & food couldn't have been better!! Thank you Jason, Troy, Dana & bartending gals for your wonderful hospitality! Everything about your venue was a hit! Thank YOU!“

Super excited your just down the road from us and the remodel looks FANTASTIC! We had the pleasure of meeting Andy the owner and just a really nice person! THANKS AGAIN FOR A GREAT EXPERIENCE!!!🙂“

“We had such a great experience at Pizza Social that we went twice during our week-long vacation! Our first visit was on a Sunday evening, and they were very busy—it took about an hour to get our pizza during that peak time. But honestly, it was absolutely worth the wait. Everything was incredibly fresh and flavorful. We came back again on Friday night, and it was much less crowded—our order was ready in about 35 minutes. We tried the AMI pizza, the barbecue chicken pizza, and a classic pepperoni, and every single one was delicious. The staff was also super friendly both times we picked up our order, which made the experience even better. Can’t say enough great things about the food here—definitely a must-visit if you’re on the island!“

“I had a health concern happen while I was entertaining myself and the locals with some guitar music, good conversation and lots of pool games. I got dehydrated and the paranoia set in hard. Luckily these folks are good people and all my belongings were kept, safely. When I got well and was able to retrieve them. I was well cared for and never made to feel unwelcome though I’m afraid I might have made a fool of myself. Maybe again some day without the dehydration? I hope so!“

“great place“

“stopped in for lunch today. the food was decent, needed more flavor for me. the service was lack luster. waited over ten minutes from time being seated with menus until a server came over to bring us water and see if we wanted anything else. the server returned a couple times, but then at the end was too involved with her cellphone at the service station. even to the point of taking it over to 2 other employees to see before realizing that we were growing inpatient with waiting for the check. overall I give it a 7/10.“

“I loved my breakfast at this place, the panini was amazing and real lemon juice…omg!“

“The Sarasota Farmers Market is one of the best parts of downtown on Saturday mornings. It’s not just about fresh produce — though the fruits, veggies, and locally grown herbs are always excellent — it’s also the atmosphere. You’ll find artisan breads, pastries, fresh seafood, local honey, handcrafted soaps, Olive Oil from Italy, jewelry, and unique gifts. The vendors are friendly and take pride in their work, and there’s a real sense of community as you walk through the market. Street musicians add a lively touch, and there are plenty of food stands for a coffee or breakfast while you browse. It’s a great place for families, locals, and visitors alike, and it captures Sarasota’s mix of creativity, culture, and coastal living. Highly recommend spending a Saturday morning here — you’ll leave with full bags and good vibes.“

“Island living. Most welcoming people and great spot out of the fray. Cold beer and wine and excellent grouper bites.“

“Amazing atmosphere and food“

“Look no further!!! Coming down from Pittsburgh for our wedding we researched who could make my dreams a reality with a taco bar/party for our reception. And let me tell you….they went above and beyond! The two women that came to our beach house and prepared our food and helped serve it was just amazing! But let me tell you about their food. The chicken and Korean beef…WOW. My family was raving about the flavors and the toppings for the taco bar. I could not be happier.“

“the food is always amazing. i’ve learned over the years that good customer service isn’t perfection because that isn’t possible. good customer service is how you handle mishaps. the service we experienced tonight was top notch from josiah ! there was a minor kitchen mishap that was honestly a minor inconvenience at best however the way he handled it made us feel so very valued! the ambiance is the best in town with its whimsy not just in decor but with the menu! ask for josiah you won’t be disappointed“

“I get a healthy shake every time I come to get my hair or nails done! Not loaded with sugars and full of protein. They all taste amazing, but I’m hooked on chocolate and pnut butter ! Better prices than any other place like and healthier. 5 stars from me ☺️“

“Muy buenooooo Excelente atención“

“Best place to have a meal on the island! Amazing ownership & staff!“

“Most amazing German food that I’ve ever had. Servers were very friendly & knowledgeable about the dishes that the chef creates. Add in authentic German beer and this place is a must visit. Definitely worth the drive if you are anywhere nearby. I could eat here every meal as there are many options and everything tastes wonderful. Sehr gutt und wundebar!“

“Clean, well-run brewery with a nice variety of beers. I missed the New Haven pizza truck because I didn't check the schedule beforehand, but I ended up staying for 2 beers (Osiris Pale Ale) thanks to the great conversation with the staff and other patrons.“

“get the stuffed snowball, you won't believe it's shaved ice...“

“First time tonight and I LOVE this place! The owners and staff were friendly and gracious. I didn't eat, but the menu looked great. I'm excited to go to more events here!“

“If you are looking for great coffee, gifts and a nice happy hour, Back Alley is you place! Drop in and say hi to Tammi and the rest of the super friendly staff. One of our favorite places on the Island on Bridge Street!“

“First time here , Attentive Staff ,Food was presented well and Tasty,The only complaint was it was a chilly / windy day and they would not close the doors, when asked because they said people would think they were closed.“

“We were on vacation in Sarasota and this place is a must visit! The pastries and baked goods they have are so good and delicious!! Their selection of drinks is amazing as well and has something for everyone! We didn’t try any savory dishes but they were probably really good too. The workers were also so nice and the atmosphere was so chill and cool!!! Would definitely visit again!“

“Anna Maria Oyster Bar - Ellenton, FL After spending the day at the Florida State Fair in Tampa, my fiancé and I decided to stop by Anna Maria Oyster Bar in Ellenton—and we’re so glad we did! We ordered fried oysters, French fries, and cheese grits, and everything was absolutely delicious. The oysters were fried to perfection, crispy on the outside yet tender and flavorful inside. The cheese grits were just the way I like them—nice and thick—and the fries were a great complement to the meal. Even better, our food arrived quickly and fresh. Our waitress, Lilly, was fantastic, providing friendly and attentive service. We also appreciated how the rest of the staff greeted us warmly as we walked through the restaurant. It’s little details like that that make a place feel extra welcoming. The restaurant itself was clean and well-kept, including the bathrooms, which is always a big plus. Anna Maria Oyster Bar now has four locations, and after this experience, I’d definitely visit again. If you’re in the Ellenton area and craving fresh seafood with great service, this spot is a must-try!“

“Made a trip from Ft Myers yesterday with 5 friends and we are so glad we did! Such a cute little shop with very friendly staff. Explained to us how the Chimney Cakes are made after we enjoyed a delicious lunch! Couldn’t pass up bringing some home. We will be back 😃“

“We ordered Pizza and it was delicious!! The service was great!! Sophia made us feel welcome and was very pleasant. She must have visited our table 6 or 7 times making sure we were doing ok.“
