Best Waterfront Restaurants in Siesta Key

Really a great experience. This was our first visit since recently moving to the area. Food was excellent and the service was great from being seated to the end. Our server, Kate E was absolutely wonderful. She was caring, attentive, and had a fabulous customer-centric focus. Nice views on top of great food and service. 10 out of 10 for us.

Our bartender was incredible. Amber helped make a tough situation perfect. We arrived for our 7pm reservation only to be told they had cancelled our reservation saying they had called 4 times I never received one call or message. Thankfully we were able to sit at the bar! Amber was great and we had delicious drinks and a great dinner.

Tripletail is hands down the best seafood restaurant in Sarasota. I should add that one of friends had the medallions of steak and was very pleased. The other three of us had the scallop special which had 8 scallops on delicious rice with a citrus sauce of some kind. Just delicious and we couldn’t eat it all and all three took a few home. We came to Tripletail last Christmas Eve and will come next year that’s how much we like it. We send out an extra thank you to Matt our wonderful server. We ask for him special.

From the moment you walk in every one of the staff members were courteous and professional. We had a reservation for four and trying to get three of them on time is like attempting to herd cats. The mood was elevated by the time I got them to valet parking. From that moment on the thoughtful and courteous staff took all the stress from my family within five minutes. By the time our server Ozzie took center stage at our table this evening became an event for my family to cherish forever. Thank you!

Been a few years since we have had the pleasure of eating here since we live up north. It was the best all-round meal we have had at a restaurant in the last year. The escargot wellington and the lobster bisque to start the meal were packed with flavor and richness. My mother's tiger shrimp and chicken meatballs were delicious. So much good stuff packed in the meatballs with pasta made to perfection. My wife's crusted yellowtail snapper had a good crunch to the outside with flavorful savory fish inside, especially when combined with the tropical fruit jam and the crispy plantains. The paella had so many parts that worked but my favorites were the scallops and the pork belly. To finish the meal, our server recommended a delicious apple galette with a gelato scoop on top and raspberry sauce around thr edge of the plate for extra flavor. It was delightful. The phyllo pastry in both the wellington and galette were well prepared. What a great way to start our Christmas vacation in Sarasota.
