Best Seafood Restaurants in Longboat Key

Everything about this restaurant was very good, but the prices were on the high side for our lunch. The view of the Gulf of MEXICO was fantastic. Our waiter, Cody, deserves a thumbs up for his attention and personality.

Dined here last night with my hubby, the restaurant is upscale, modern, trendy, and beautifully decorated. We had reservations for 8, we were sat at about 8:20. Our waiter Adam was top notch. This is a high end restaurant and the service reflects that, from their mannerisms down to the verbiage they use. It doesn’t come across as snooty just an air of excellence. We ordered wedge salad and the hamachi crudo to start, both were fantastic. I especially enjoyed the crudo. It was special. I ate it before I remembered to take a picture of it, I hate when I do that lol. But I remembered to snap pics of the entrees. We ordered the grouper and ribeye, and creamed spinach and crispy potato pave for sides. We loved everything. The chef sent out a little small plate of something to try before we ate and I still have no idea what it was, it was a little brown circle with an orange thing on top, never tasted anything like it, and it was actually nice. A completely different flavor from anything I’ve eaten. I will say that the kitchen was swamped and food took much long to come out than would be expected but Adam continuously checked in on us, apologizing repeatedly, and ultimately he came and poured me an additional glass of Caymus to make up for the delay. What a class act. Parking was $10 with validation and valet was very fast getting our car. We have decided we will dine at CW Prime for our anniversary this year we liked the ambiance so much. They also have outdoor seating and the entire restaurant overlooks the water. Wonderful evening.

Excellent food, service was superb and view spectacular.

Our dinner was very good. Their menu isn’t extensive but the dishes are expertly prepared. Our server was good but overwhelmed with many tables. Service was slower than we’ve experienced there in the past. Overall a very good experience.

Great view on the water and atmosphere with the lights on Christmas Eve. We sat under the trees by the bay and the portable heaters kept us warm on a cool night. The Spinach and Artichoke Empanadas were a great appetizer and the entrees were excellent too.
