Restaurants near Island House Beach Resort 38

We had concert tickets on Siesta Key & Clayton’s menu looked good. Ambiance is beachy & casual, food & service upscale. We made a reservation for next month on the way out.

Love, Love, Love Libby’s! A true neighborhood gem. Excellent menu, service is always wonderful and such comfortable ambience. One of our favorite spots to dine and also bring friends!

Kudos to the cheerful wait staff, superb chefs and solid management at Columbia in Sarasota's St. Armand's Circle. You'd never know this reliably terrific restaurant was under five feet of water after last fall's double punch hurricanes! The bartenders don't stint on the pours and the paella was the best I've ever eaten--big enough for two--making it one of the most economical items on the extensive menu.

Another wonderful meal at Connors! I had lobster bisque followed by the sirloin steak with creamed spinach. The bisque was velvety smooth but with nice bits of lobster. Very flavorful. The sirloin was grilled perfectly, med rare as I requested. I never make creamed spinach at home and was curious to try their version. Delicious! My husband had the chicken piccata and creamed corn and was very pleased with both. Since it was my birthday, we shared a complimentary strawberry shortcake with delicious vanilla ice cream. Cocktails were tasty and the wine was perfect too. Service was a bit slow but we managed. Love this place!

This was not our first visit to Ophelia’s and for sure not the last. Excellent service, incredible food, beautiful view and an overall wonderful night!
