Super clean with wonderful menu and waitstaff. This is our new favorite for grouper sandwiches and dinners.

Everything was amazing. Oysters Rockefeller for starters. They were delicious. And huge! Dinners were excellent and very healthy portions. Noah took very good care of us!! read more

Huge place with friendly staff. It was busy and our food took a bit to come out but everything was delicious and fresh. We sat outside with a great view of the water too! read more

Justin W. makes the experience amazing. Highly recommend!!! Definitely will come back for the stone crabs.

Absolutely love this place, best seafood and service in town. Definitely would recommend this place to anyone

The food was really good! Service was exceptional and what was really nice was the free bottle of wine with the summer deal!

Service at the bar is very very slow and less than attentive. We waited 1 hour and 20 minutes for our food but it never came. No apology from management. We won't be back. read more

Our first time there was for Thanksgiving dinner. Excellent in all regards ... food, service, ambiance, location on the water. The dinner was far more than we expected, with tasty generous portions of turkey, dressing, gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans, and dessert. We will definitely go there again. Thanks Deep Lagoon! read more

Food was wonderful they just open their business and they are spot on the ambience is fantastic they specialize in seafood but you can get some steaks I recommend the hog fish stuffed with crab topped with hollandaise sauce! But what really made the experience come together was our server Alex he was a joy and a pleasure to watch work this is a man who is really good at his job five stars all the way! read more

Enjoyed a nice lunch there. The atmosphere was really nice . Although seemed like they were short staffed like everywhere we didn't mind enjoying our cocktails and the view. read more

Lovely place to eat dinner. They accommodated our group of 8 perfectly on opening weekend nice views and fantastic sea food make this place 5 stars. Our server Bianca made our dinner even better with her friendly energy . They also have a pretty epic wine special going on currently for $30 off a bottle with 2 entree with some bottles only costing $30. read more

I have eaten here twice now, once for lunch and once for dinner. The food was delicious and no one in two large parties had anything to complain about. As a newer restaurant, there are some kinks to work out, we were there for long times both times I was in. It forced us to relax and enjoy the time together though! Also, we were large parties, so I'm sure that had something to do with it. Wait staff was great both times. Also, highly recommend the Keylime Martini, YUM! read more

Fantastic place!! Wonderful atmosphere. Friendly people with a great view. Food awesome.

We eat out a lot down here, and it's not difficult to find a place that is good, very good or excellent. Well, this place was none of those. We were with visiting friends and had just been to the theater on a Sunday afternoon. We called ahead and they said they couldn't take a reservation but that they would get us a table as it wasn't that busy - so come on in. When we arrived we were told we could not get a table until 8:15, some 3.5 hours later. We explained that we had just called and drove over on the advice to come and we would get a table. They said no such call had been taken and questioned whether we really called at all. I showed them the phone with the number and time on it hoping that maybe another person would remember and verify that we were promised and it would be fine. The hostess (who later said she was the manager) said it was just not possible to get a table before 8:15 even though we could see open tables and people ready to leave and nobody there waiting but us. Very rude, especially when they questioned our calling at all. We are part of large dinner club that dines out regularly at various restaurants. Needless to say this one is off of our list permanently. We don't know if the food or drinks are any good but we know all we need to about the service - RUDE! We ended up at Phillipi Creek Oyster Bar and enjoyed great service, a waterside table, and excellent food. It wasn't as 'fancy' but we made a great dining memory there, which is just what we needed to forget the terrible treatment we received at Deep Lagoon. read more

A big restaurant with a big kitchen to match. Good service overall. Some better quality control on the edges would help. For example, Ordered gin and tonics at the bar. The tonic water comes from the fountain -- was a little flat and had little flavor. I'm sure with all the mixers and sodas coming from that hose doesn't help. Keep the mixers in small bottles, or larger, but NOT in the soda fountain. Had the fish tacos, I'd call them gringo tacos -- no cilantro, pico, pickled onion or jalapeños. And they sprinkle cheese on top -- please, fish and cheese don't mix! Good size pieces of fish, however. Friends had fish, and was meh. Keep working on your culinary skills. A nice venue. read more

Ok. We've been here at least 6 times. Took guests many time. Beautiful atmosphere However do not order unless you know the PRICE!!!!! One time bartender recommended a white wine ok we said. $22 a glass which is ridiculous!! As we all know!! Tonight out of our reg bottle of wine $30/35 a bottle waiter said $60 for comparable but better ok. Was $67. I wanted Crab. Love stone Crab but waiter said Alaskan King Crab Excellent Market Price. Yes I should have asked $79. Not worth it. Love stone crab better!! Good place but order off menu that has listed prices. They Gouge you otherwise!! read more

It's a nice new building with a fantastic view. Definitely go if you want to impress out-of-towner's with the view of the bay, however, the FOOD IS NOT GOOD. Very underwhelming. My wife had the broiled salmon with broccoli and the roasted baby bella mushrooms. I had the Mahi Thermidor. Both pieces of fish were over cooked. In general both meals were lacking flavor, something best described as "old people food". My dish completely lacked the spiny lobster mentioned in the menu and was drowning in a sauce that tasted less like a sherry cream sauce and more like a roasted red pepper sauce. My wife's roasted mushrooms were obviously stewed and not roasted. Sorry, no photos. I suspect the original location is very good, but the owners need to do a better job recreating that quality control across all locations. Service was excellent and there appeared to be plenty of staff. The reality is the location is so premium that management will likely have little motivation to improve on the food, because the amazing views will keep bringing customers to the restaurant. read more

OMG the best restaurant we ate at the entire time we were here. Most of the food in Sarasota is disgusting and I wouldn't feed it to my dog and is over priced. Deep Lagoon was beautiful great scenery the food was amazing presentation was amazing and the prices were not bad we will definitely be back. read more

service is very slow !! i got the salmon which was nothing special and the pasta was not very good. however i did really enjoy the crab rangoons!! read more

Amazing place to have a family reunion. Definitely we will be back. Food was e excellent !!

Great location, beautiful facility. Food is average. Plenty of parking for cars and boats.

so disappointed. I am a local patrin That has been coming the Osprey location since it opened a year ago. Unfortunately the food has been very disappointing 3 of the last 4 times I have had dinner there. Both my appetize and entry were subpar. The ceviche was tough and too spicy. It came out looking like slop served with chips that were stale. my Entry was a Tropical Salad that was to have grilled scallops and shrimp. I believe I had 2 tough scallops and maybe 4 shrimp served in floury gravy (not grilled and not tender). The scallops were even sliced in half to appear that they were serving you 4 not 2 scallops. Such a disappointing and embaraising meal considering we took guests. Will not return unless sugnificant changes are made! read more

Great view, service and food. Really nice and can't wait to go back soon! The margaritas were delicious.

Kudos to Olivia the bartender. My wife isn't a permanent resident here yet because of job obligations - I am permanent - but Olivia remembered us after 3 months and also remembered we were from New Jersey. She told us she takes notes on how to remember people to strike up a conversation. Now that's a bartender. As a bartender up north for 37 years, I was quite impressed. Food always fresh. Never been disappointed. Tip Olivia well. read more

Lindsay the bartender is the best but food ordinary...the tuna tartar or whatever is supposed to have coriander sesame seed sea salt black peppercorn...it was just all pepper...with soy sauce side...volcano shrimp...tiny...fried calamari over cooked...shrimp cocktail translucent...not cooked enough yuk read more

We have been to the deep Lagoon several times in the last couple of months. The location, the views the atmosphere are all exceptional. However, the food continues to be marginal. We do not recommend this restaurant if you are expecting delicious food. Our opinion is that they need a really good chef. read more

Very good seafood ... have been here several times in a group and also as a twosome. Service is always good. Their seafood is fresh and always delicious! read more

Sat at the bar and worst service ever!!! Had to flag down bartender for everything. Even to order our food. My husband ordered the lunch Fish and Chips for $16. What a joke. One very small piece of Fish and 10 French fries!!! Just a side note. Went to Cheesecake Factory today and ordered their lunch Fish and Chips. 4 pieces of fish and so many fries we had to take some home. And it was $15. And also I ordered the lunch coconut shrimp salad at Deep Lagoon which was not too bad but when we got the bill I was charged for Dinner one!!!! Thank god I noticed it!!! We will never go back to Deep Lagoon!!!! read more

The atmosphere was great, as were the views. However, the service was definitely subpar. One out of four people at our table had her salad forgotten. By the time the waitress came back around, our meals were coming out, and the waitress did not offer an apology at all about the salad. Additionally, for the hour and a half we were there, we did not get refills on our water, nor were we asked if we would like any refills on our drinks. It would have been nice to be able to flag her down to request that, but the waitress 'disappeared' for long stints of time. When it came time for our entrées to come out - again, one of our party of four was not brought out her meal. Nothing was said after the other three meals were dropped at the table. We were left assuming that it would be coming out shortly, yet it did not. When we finally were able to get the waitress to come over to the table, she said something about the fish being undercooked, so they didn't bring it out (thankfully) ...and they were going to bring it out 'shortly'. 25 minutes went by, and my friend's meal was still not at the table. The waitress never stopped by again to follow up. All of a sudden her meal was brought over by a man who just dropped it in front of her with a giant smile, as if nothing was out of the ordinary. Unfortunately, it was not entirely what she ordered. My friend mentioned it to the man, and there was no apology. (we came to find out later, that the person who dropped it at our table was the manager ). At this point, the rest of the table were finished their meals! Our friend just wanted to take her meal home - it was such a shame. We go out to dinner once a month to enjoy a meal TOGETHER - and for her to feel she had to bring her dinner home was just so upsetting. What was more upsetting is that it did not appear that the staff cared one bit. We felt we had to press the matter. We wanted them to understand that how they acted, was not the proper way to handle a situation like this. We asked for them to comp her meal. It is not something that any of us make a usual practice of, yet due to the staff's uncaring and flip attitude, we collectively felt that it would help to make it right. The manager came over after about ten minutes, and was so darn flip and curt it made my blood boil. Unfortunately, I still have a bad taste in my mouth about this restaurant due to how they chose to react, and I'm not sure we will return. There are far better places in the area where we can enjoy a nice meal and receive much better service. read more

Big disappointment. Service was terrible. our waitress could have cared less. our drinks sat empty three different times and we had to call it out to her each time. Food arrived Luke warm. Dinner was $339 for 5 of us so you would think the waitress would have wanted a good tip but obviously not. The view is great, food and service are not. read more

We've only been for lunch. Which I love their light menu. We've tried several things on lunch menu and been pleased. It's nice being on the water view . read more

My second review of this restaurant and we had a much better experience than last time thanks to a surprisingly cordial front of house and an amazing waitress--Mason She would be awesome in any fine restaurant because she could not have done anything more to please our group of 2 tables of 6 each. And she had other tables to take care of as well but she didn't miss a beat. I was worried to take our guests there because last time didn't thrill me at all with food or service but a really good night tonight. It's such a pretty restaurant we gave it another chance. We had just about every menu offering with this crowd and everything is fine but no wow, interesting, new, different. Same-o. Same-o. read more

This feels like an upscale tourist trap. Stopped in on a Sunday for lunch. Small portions and way overpriced. Service was excellent and everything was very clean. I feel like adding 25% more food would make it on point. Martini was perfect! I will try again for happy hour. read more

Nice location/setting, food was mediocre. Good service; nice alcohol selection. Patio is nice but faces west so quite warm.

The only reason I am giving this review even 1 star is because our server was fabulous. However, the food was not. We seemed to have waited a rather long time for our order. There were four of us. Two of us had soup and a salad. My soup tasted more like tomato soup than the lobster bisque I ordered. When I spoke to our server, she said it was a tomato based soup. I love to cook and never heard of that before for lobster bisque. She removed it from out bill and did offer something else, but I just stuck with my salad. My friend had swordfish which was not good and hardly ate much of it. Her husband had fried clams but they were so hard and chewy he had a hard time eating them. My husband was okay but said it was not his best meal. This was not our first time there. It was a Friday night and they were not busy. We don't know if it was a new chef or if things are going down hill. We do know, however, that we won't be back. read more

I happened upon this place as I was coming back to osprey from Venice...I ate at the bar...bartenders were efficient and knowledgable... the meal was great...grouper bites....coconut shrimp...the green beans to die for....everything that I saw coming out and being served looked wonderful...those who gave a bad review here probably would not be happy anywhere! I am a personal chef and very picky...will be back many times during my stay here in sarasota..... read more

Food was fantastic as was the service. Loved the bar. Hostess needs an attitude adjustment. Very rude.

Loved everything about it. The view, the food, the service and the atmosphere. It is a must to try!

We've been waiting to try Deep Lagoon, and have heard so many glowing reviews for this restaurant. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. We visited on Sunday night. The restaurant was busy, but not crowded. The location is lovely with a beautiful view of the bay - however, that was the only positive. Waitress was pleasant, but not super attentive. Food was mediocre at best. We tried the tri-tail, filet mignon, chilean seabass, oysters, stone crabs, and pasta. The fish dishes were bland and nearly tasteless, though fish was decent quality. Filet was overcooked and a bit dry, and served with boring butter mashed potatoes and asparagus. Oysters and stone crab were OK. The food is UN-INSPIRED, nothing special and so overpriced for what you get. Presentations are BORING, with no variation in flavor profiles. They serve a ton of dishes with bernaise sauce, come on guys, you can do better than that! We won't be back :( read more
