    Crab cakes

    My husband and I recently tried this restaurant after hearing it was one of the best places in Arcadia and since we are here quite often, we figured we would give it a try. I will say, considering that they are inland and in a very small less popular town the dog was pretty good, I wouldn't take it over most local places in Sarasota or Anna's Maria / Punta Gorda but for the location it was good. It is a hair pricey for the look of the building and presentation of the food however the service was fantastic and it felt very "homey". If we see are the area we might give it another go !

    CAJUN PASTA WITH CHICKEN AND SHRIMP
    Ken C.

    I had a meeting in this town and came to Magnolia due to the high rating and it definitely justified it. First off, staff were very polite and checked in very often. Refills were quick and answered all menu questions. I got the cajun pasta with chicken and shrimp. It was good but it was HEAVY so be away. Very rich and you can feel the heavy butter and cream. But that's how it is! Can't complain. The presentation and cook itself was spot on though.

    Crab cake sandwich- delicious

    I am so glad I got to try this restaurant before it closed down, (due to Hurricane Ian). We visited Arcadia to attend the Rodeo! Magnolia Streed Seafood was highly recommended by most locals and I must say it lived up to our expectations! The food was amazing!!! The restaurant façade is misleading, it does not look like much but once inside you find it spacious and accommodating. The staff is attentive and friendly, made us feel at home! My hubby had the Fish and Chips and I had one of my favorite dishes, Shrimp and Grits. Magnolia's version of this dish was interesting and delectable!! They emphasize the Shrimp and the sauce, grits to a minor degree. The combination works well and makes this dish memorable!! I hope this place comes back! It would be a great loss!!!

    Are they dog friendly with tables outdoors?

It's a cute little roadside shack that feels like it used to be someone's house. We went on a Friday night in March, there was a line, but we were seated right away on the outdoor sun deck. Super laid back, a little quirky, and the perfect setting to sit outside and get messy with seafood. Service was great. The staff works as a team and you can tell, everything moved quickly and everyone was helpful. Our main server was especially friendly and made great recommendations. The food is definitely meant for sharing. We split a dozen medium blue crabs, two dozen clams, gumbo, and a stone crab and shrimp special. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and reasonably priced for the quality. Nothing felt overpriced. Do not skip the key lime pie. It was the perfect ending. Overall, it's simple, casual, and really well done. I'd absolutely go back.

It's a cute small family owned and quaint place if you're in the mood for fresh seafood. (Most places in Charlotte County have frozen seafood and not fresh-always ask!!!) We were able to get a seat immediately and the wait staff was on top of everything and so friendly. My wife ordered the ceviche which was real good. Only thing to make it a little better would be to add some white fish to the recipe like most places do, but otherwise it was delicious. I had the fresh grill red snapper which was very good as well. Their sheaphead fish soup sample was very tasty, I will order that on next visit. Their coleslaw and corn was made to perfection. My wife is an excellent chef and for us to actually find a local place that was this good, was a wonderful experience. We will be back!

We waited about an hour on a Friday before spring break because we wanted a dockside seat! Worth it! 4 or 5 different brews on tap.. We sat outside & enjoyed the view--boats, gulls, & fish just steps away. We started with onion rings & fish dip. Both tasty. Hubby & son had the fried shrimp special with one side. Hubby loved his coleslaw (mayo based) & son's rice was a small portion. I had a grouper Rueben--delicious fish but not very ruebenish--no sauerkraut--coleslaw instead. Fries & pickle were crisp. You're supposed to toss your shrimp tails to the gulls! They catch them mid-air! All the staff was friendly & accommodating. A must stop spot!

We ordered an Arnold Palmer and a Ponce De Leon margarita, mozzarella sticks, shrimp basket, chicken fingers basket and (2) Florida orange cakes to go. Mozzarella sticks- average. Shrimp basket- good but tropical slaw was store bought with pineapple added. Chicken fingers- good not great, onion rings, good not great . Margarita- strong. Biggest problem- from 9-18 people just standing around talking, making staff walk around them. Other problems- some people just walk in past the front desk and just seat themselves ( the privileged). Total bill with tip $100 . Don't need to travel a half hour to just be ok. Won't be back.

    BLUF: Consistently exceptional food and service located at a dry dock (dry boat storage)…read moreoverlooking the water. I love Dry Dock Waterfront Grill and I always visit when I am in the Sarasota area. Dry Dock is always busy so I am also sure to make a reservation in advance using Open Table. Typically we sit inside but I know the back patio is popular too. If your timing and patience is perfect, you can also get a nice a nice window seat in the dining room that has sweeping views of Sarasota Bay. The inside atmosphere is bright and airy and although airy often translates to loud, Dry Dock thoughtfully put noise dampening panels on the ceiling. As far as food, I don't think you can go wrong. I always get something with grouper whether it be an entree, sandwich or tacos. On my most recent visit I got the grouper filet with coconut shrimp because I had originally been eyeing up the coconut shrimp as an appetizer. Ultimately, we decided to get the rock crab claws for an appetizer which were good but more work than I planned even though they were pre-cracked. I felt like a Neanderthal trying to eat those crab claws in such a nice restaurant. No offense to the Neanderthals, of course! I have no idea what my husband had as it disappeared. After entrees, apps and bread, we were too stuffed for dessert. I think our server was Cari and she was awesome! Attentive, friendly, funny and quite possibly a mind reader and magician. She saw the hanger in my eyes and made bread magically appear. I hope I got her name correct because she was superb! Shout out to all of the great staff members at Dry Dock -we've never had a bad experience. I love Dry Dock and it will forever stay in my Sarasota rotation.

Everyone -- from the owner to the waitstaff and bartenders -- is absolutely wonderful. The atmosphere is so welcoming and fun, and you can tell they take pride in making sure guests have a great experience. The drinks are deliciously strong (in the best way!) and crafted perfectly. I ordered Las Tres Marías, which comes with cucumber jalapeño, mango, and blueberry margaritas -- such a great option if you want to sample a variety of their flavors. (SN: Mango wasn't one of the flavors, but a replacement {don't remember what for though}) For dinner, I had the quesabirria, and it was packed with flavor and plenty of meat. The consomé was rich and just as tasty. We also tried their traditional beef burrito, and it did not disappoint. Overall, Azul Tequila is a gem in Arcadia -- great food, great drinks, and even better people. Can't wait to go back!

The chips, salsa, and drinks were solid, and our server was friendly even though they had a lot on their plate with such a large party.

A few dishes came out lukewarm, and unfortunately several people in our group ended up with upset stomachs afterwards. It definitely took away from the overall experience.
