Best Waterfront Restaurants in Sarasota

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.

The Chart House holiday menu and experience just cannot be topped. The chefs are amazing and or server, Shane, is the best we have had anywhere.

Excellent restaurant!! We truly enjoyed our meals there. The cocktails were great. The Maple Bourbon Glazed Pork Chop was delicious! Cooked exactly how I like it and was hot when it arrived to my table (which is important to me). The sides - garlic potatoes and green beans were delicious. Rolls were great. Most of all our server was fantastic!! Thank you Gabbie for treating us with the utmost respect and being top notch. We truly appreciated your excellence in serving. The atmosphere was simple, yet amazing with excellent views.

Great lunch and dinning experience. Waterfront with dolphins seen, right on cue. Food was great and so was service.

This restaurant has been open 3 days but it runs smoothly. We sat outside on the upper deck and had a lovely view of a courtyard, surrounded by high rise condos, and a large canal that opened out onto the Sarasota Bay. I had the 8 oz filet mignon (extremely tender and flavorful). My husband had the blackened snapper and found it delicious as well. Everything we ordered was excellent (wedge salad, onion soup, whipped potatoes and chocolate peanut butter pie with Ethiopian French press coffee). My. Old Fashioned was very good as well. My husband ordered a non-alcoholic beer which they had run out of but someone ran to the store and got him one without delay. Brendan was our waiter and he couldn't have been more attentive. All the staff was top-notch. We will be back, especially when we have guests who are steak lovers!
