Best Waterfront Restaurants in Lake Sarasota

Great location to have dinner on the waterfront especially for birthday or other event. Food was excellent service was top shelf with Jake our server

I was hesitant to go thinking it would be average, overpriced food with limited view given it was dark. It was great! Maui Margarita was excellent and the crab encrusted grouper was a delicious surprise! Beautiful view even after dark with lights glistening and a couple of pelicans swimming to the Frank Sinatra music playing. Definitely a quiet, older crowd. A bit pricey but worth it for something or someone special or just an occasional treat!

Incredible dinner! Grouper bites and Category 5 shrimp appetizers were as good as it gets. The delicious fishcamp chowder is almost a meal in itself. Finally, the lobster tacos also were great. I apologize f this sounds like I own the place. My wife and I are three times a year customers who simply love this place.

Service was exceptional - attentive, quick, friendly, and made certain all was well. We had to wait about five minutes longer than our reservation, no big deal considering how busy they were. Regardless, they brought over two glasses of champagne to apologize for the minor wait was really a surprise and not needed or expected. We ordered a few sushi rolls and they were delicious with the exception of one. We didn’t really care for it--our server notice we weren’t eating that one and asked if we liked it we said not our favorite. He took it away and brought back shrimp cocktail to teplace that dish... again not needed, very surprised and impressed! They certainly went above and beyond to make certain we had a great evening. The ambience there is a really nice, however, the noise level is pretty high. Next time, weather permitting, we will try to sit outside on one of the patios... overall, an excellent experience very impressed. Delicious food, great service. PS Get the carrot cake.

Tripletail is always excellent. I had fried grouper and it was cooked to perfection. The food came out piping hot. My husband had the smoked oyster and he loved them. Cocktails are worth the money and service was excellent.
