Love Love Love - Can't write that too many times! Perfectly curved well upholstered 6 top booth facing the Gulf! So what's not to Love. Cool sun-coast vibe. Some parties in a coat & tie, while others strolled in sporting a collared shirt & flip flops! My Grouper was fabulous, Cilla's Salmon ideally rare, Queenie's shellfish concoction looked over the top. And our hosts tackled a pair of juicy burgers - they live down here so the gifts of the Gulf are like a daily deal for them. If you gave me a hundred bucks can't remember his name but the waiter was like silk - idyllic match to all our entrees. Don't miss this beauty on your next visit to LBK - worth the wait for a reservation!!! read more

The food is as good as it gets in the Sarasota area - fresh and perfectly prepared. The ambience of this location is worth the drive for Sarasota or Siesta Key, and worth passing up the Shore in St. Armand's Circle. An outdoor table with water views is divine! read more

Shore - shrimp ceviche and guacamole - New American Near Me - Longboat Key, Florida

Beautiful establishment, however I would recommend any seat other than the tables right next to the window. There is a constructional bar that prohibits a god clear view. The food was fine nothing to rave about. Our server was outstanding as well as our valet young men. read more

We arrived by boat. Beautiful restaurant with water views. Loved the blood orange margarita, calamari salad and red snapper entree. Delicious! Great server! read more

I came to Shore for lunch with my family, at the suggestion of my aunt who lives locally. It certainly lived up to her high praise! First of all, the view and ambiance really can't be beat. The restaurant is beautiful inside and out. The food was also excellent! We shared their kung pao calamari to start, which was bursting with flavor. It had a slight spiciness to it, but nothing too crazy. Just enough! The calamari itself was great, with a good balance of rings and tentacles. For my entree I opted for their signature miso marinated black Grouper, served with a rice cake and a delicious sauce. I'd definitely come back here next time I'm in Sarasota, and would love to try their dinner menu as well! read more

Dinner with the family. Wonderful seafood, all super fresh and flavorful. Both their specials and regular menu items were enjoyed tremendously. Desserts were also wonderful. read more

Love this place! Great views and nice menu. Food was good and the service was attentive.

down a residential you go. at the bay (east) end of Broadway, you are met with valets and an elegant entry. beyond, is a lovely view of the docks on the bay, and at night, twinkling lights of Sarasota in the distance. you are also welcome to arrive by boat. this enhances the casual elegant ambiance. the fire pits are nice on a winter night, thought more to look at than for the warmth, rarely needed here on Longboat Key. The excellent, relatively low key menu is delish. Love the burgers...really. Menu items are the same as at their St Armand's Circle location. Both restaurants have a shop of lovely, resort wear. but, on Longboat the view adds so much. The docks are lit below, so even at night you can see fish Below and birds afloat. A nice extra touch! read more

Great views, great drinks, great appetizers, great food and great service. Cheesecake was just ok but my daughter and husband liked it. Definitely will go back and have been talking about our meal here for weeks. Cute little shop on the premises. Nice bar area. Valet parking is convenient. read more

My husband and I, we live thus restaurant. My in-laws introduced us to it few years ago. When we are in Florida, we always have dinner at this restaurant. Our favorite is the grouper fish. It's a special buttery tasty fish that we have not found anywhere else in the states but here. Good service and some days you may have to WSU's do reservations are suggested. The restaurant is lovely with great sitting area indoors or outdoors and it even has a little shop. We will definitely go back. read more

Shore - Grouper sandwich and truffle fries - New American Near Me - Longboat Key, Florida

Shore is a place we visit every year during our stay in Long Boat Key for a great meal and great views. We are usually able to do a walk in during lunch without a reservation and rarely a wait. The only parking option is valet and available street parking is really hard to find. It was a bit chilly this time around, so they turned the heaters on for us in order for us to enjoy being seated on the water. We have tried the drinks, salads, and mains before and all are very flavorful. This time around we got the Som Tom salad (very flavorful with great dressing), fish tacos (I liked the mango salsa it comes with), miso grouper (good but wasn't my favorite), and the side dish truffle Mac and cheese (good but not the best I've ever had). read more

Love the Shore ..Longboat Key... but a little disappointed last night sitting at the bar early ... Felt like the bartender's were trying to rush us kept asking what we needed... we were there to have a couple of drinks and then order food. Never felt rushed like this before. read more

Unfortunately, the waitress did not get my order correct and brought me the wrong salmon dish. I pointed at the one I wanted when I ordered, but brought me the one with pepper instead of the one I ordered. I don't really like pepper that much. I ate it, but was disappointed. The branzino was not that great. They were also out of chicken, which someone in my party wanted, leaving them to order something he did not want. The kids enjoyed their burgers though. We also requested to sit outside, but the outside was closed. That was disappointing, I wish I was told that, as I would have made reservations elsewhere.The inside where we were seated was very dark, you could barely see. The portions are also very small. I will also add that it took a long time for the food to come. read more

Service and ambiance great. Just such small portions. I usually over order in restaurants. Here I wish I ordered double.

The Babyback ribs were delicious and the salad with it. The Bee Keeper drink was excellent

Ate there yesterday afternoon at 4:30. Service was marginal. Was told specials wouldn't be available until five. Black grouper was overcooked. Nice view! read more

Ask for Jessica !!! This young lady was on top of everything she was doing - she checked in regularly, never forgot an item, and did it with a smile despite how busy they were. Our fries were delicious but the Kale Cesar was a little under dressed (should have asked for more dressing). The salmon was good but on the smaller side. The blood orange margarita without agave was excellent!!! And the key lime pie was fabulous! The water views from the benches and tables on the patio deck are stupendous !! Stunning especially when the evening lights come on !! read more

Shore - Seafood salad kale ceaser with salmon - New American Near Me - Longboat Key, Florida

This is one of my favorite restaurants on LBK. We come here often.Our favorite entrées are the fillet and shrimp/scallop risotto. This past week a new waitress did not place my order to the kitchen correctly and unfortunately, I had to send it back and did not have the opportunity to enjoy my meal with my friend. But here's the best part. While I was disappointed not to eat at the same time, they did comp my two cocktails, my entire entrée and surprised us with a dessert on the house!!! Wow!! That is amazing customer service. Everyone makes mistakes and I totally get that. But they made every effort to make it right!!! The food is always delicious, great cocktails, stunning view if the water and service is clearly next level! I will be going back this weekend!!! read more

Shore - New American Near Me - Longboat Key, Florida

Really great place to grab a bite to eat! We have come a few times on weekends for a quick lunch while out on the boat. The boat valet boys are always extremely friendly and professional and work their butts off. The restaurant itself is always extremely clean, open and airy, and never too packed. The craft cocktails are different and inventive, and the blood orange margarita is a must! Food is always on point and the truffle fries are probably the best I've had. Really great menu that isn't overwhelming and has options for everyone. Ask for Mike for your server, he is great and will make sure you are well taken care of! read more

Great location, view of the water, and seatings. The menu was also good with a variety of dishes and a full bar. My salad was the best. And liked the snapper as well. It was fresh and served in a very nice presentation. The veggie burger was fairly sizable and good with the side salad. Overall, we enjoyed this nice treat along our ride by the gulf shores. read more

My husband and I dined here yesterday and, unfortunately, our experience left much to be desired. From the moment we arrived, we were met with a passive-aggressive welcome, which set the tone for the rest of the evening. Our server, along with others we encountered while dining, seemed disengaged and uninterested. We always try to be kind and conversational, asking staff how their day is going and seeking local recommendations, but our friendliness was met with cold energy and no real effort to connect. When we left the restaurant, three hostesses were standing near the exit and not one offered a simple "thank you" or "have a good night." It made us feel unwelcome, and honestly, the food did not make up for the lack of hospitality. For the same quality of food, and a far better experience, you're better off going next door to Mar Vista Dockside Restaurant and Pub, where the staff is warm, welcoming, and happy to share recommendations or a bit of the restaurant's story. They also have an amazing view. The kindest person we encountered all evening was actually the valet, which speaks volumes about the level of service inside. We believe in supporting restaurants that make their guests feel valued, and unfortunately, this one did not. We wouldn't recommend it based on our visit. read more

Shore was recommended to me by my daughter that had visited a few weeks prior to my trip to Florida. We were seated outside and our server was Jordan and he was just a good personable server, he was helpful and efficient. We ordered the guacamole and shrimp ceviche with chips and had the lobster, shrimp and crab salad and the shrimp and scalllop risotto entree's. All of the dishes were so good. The presentation of the plates was nicely done. We will definitely return on our next trip! read more

Right on the water, gorgeous modern decor with every table having a view. There really isn't much more you could want! Long restaurant with tons of seating and such a spectacular view. We were sat almost immediately and our server was over with a water bottle and menu/drink suggestions. We had a long drive back so we only enjoyed one cocktail, but it was spectacular and the menu was definitely expertly crafted with unusual ingredients and flavors. Everything we ordered to eat was good. Like almost too good; we left SO FULL! Come here, take your time and bring friends so you can try everything. The Cesar was such a nice surprise, the extra bread order was a must for us to go alongside the dip/spread trio and we shared the burger and French fries. read more

We enjoyed are meal, consisting of starters - Ahi Tuna and Avocado with wontons - the spicy aioli and ginger beet sauces were amazing accompaniments to the tuna and avocado. Wonton chips were thin and not greasy at all. High on our list of favorite ways this dish has been presented and prepared. - Lump crab cake - holy, crab! This was pure chunks of crab and no filler. Again, very good and well presented. Meals: - Red Snapper - "chicken-like" in texture with risotto and veg. - Ahi Tuna Mignon with shrimp risotto - this was prepared different enough from the appetizer that I wouldn't have even known I was eating tuna twice in one meal. The risotto was creamy with nice chunks of shrimp. Dessert: Crème brûlée cheesecake was also quite nice! NA Beverages seem to be serviced by the can/bottle unless it's water or iced tea. Our server was OK but the service provided didn't seem to align well with the ambience nor food presentation. Maybe she was having an off day, but the runners also didn't take used bottles/empty cups/plates as they were there. They placed our dishes on top of the menu (I know, petty, but I think you get what I mean...) read more

The whole restaurant is "outside". Some parts are under the roof, but it's still open and they have stadium type seating so everyone has a great, unobstructed view! The restaurant is on the bay side so you can't watch the sunset, but it's still absolutely beautiful and totally worth a visit!! From the host stand to the bar where we ordered drinks while we waited to be sat to our server, Finn, service was amazing all around! Everyone was so nice and didn't seem stressed or on edge even though they were busy at 8pm on a Saturday! The food (shore burger and fish tacos) was so good! I was even craving their french fries today! If you're in LBK, you should definitely check out Shore!! read more

One of my favorite restaurants on Longboat Key. The food is always amazing and the service is excellent. Our waiter Chris was fantastic and made our dining experience even more pleasurable (does he look more like Kevin Bacon or Ethan Hawke, you decide). Fabulous water views and a great atmosphere. Can't wait to return!! read more

Great place to go to be judged. They called, texted multiple times to confirm however 30mins later still weren't sat. And when asked they took offense. The worst I've ever been treated. read more

Have been here many times. You really can't beat the ambiance... Picturesque and beautiful... The water and sky never disappoint... The menu is creative and varied and the food is consistently prepared to a he ugh standard. They were out of the grouper last night (not the busiest night) so you need to ask about things you may want earlier in the evening. We had mussels, crab cake, snapper and fish sandwich, all were very good. Wait staff is inconsistent, sometimes great, sometimes just ok. A sign of the times I guess. Will def be back. read more

The Shore never disappoints! Every dish we have had is always memorable and served with care and pride!

Beautiful view, food is very mediocre and extremely pricey. Service is so so. Came here one night for dinner and was able to get a table right by the window. The boat dock pier was lit up and very pretty, although I think the daytime you would've been much better. The menu was OK, and our server recommended a few items. We ordered appetizers to share and two entrées to share. The food took a while to come out as the kitchen was probably very busy on a weekend night. The food was either over salty over cooked, either too much or too bland. I really don't like my fish over cooked. Just had no flavor overall. Service was spotty. Prices are super high, not really worth it. read more

Amongst a few of their locations, Shore, Longboat, emulates their true vibe and mantra of open air freeness of the Floridian mid-century glamour and decor. All locally sourced, the restaurant sits right on the water, giving you the perfect vacay feel. When you pull up you feel that 1950's decadent fast lifestyle, featuring the freshest fish and the best wine selections. Service was incredibly attentive, had fabulous starters, followed by a beautiful crab and lobster salad, the fish special, local Florida pan seared pompano...miso marinated black grouper, along with the tuna tartare served with wonton crisps. Ended eve meal with a sweet but tart twist on the classic key lime pie. Cant visit the sunshine state without at least a bite!!! Cheers!! read more
