Reviews for The Boatyard Waterfront Bar and Grill in Sarasota, FL

Food was great service was ok at best I guess when you are getting a tip on a large party why give good service. Really sad... about this on I wanted to give it 5 but really should be a 3 only a4 because I really enjoyed my food. No complaints for anyonein our party except for slow to no service. Great food great location. Maybe it's just a bad day for the servers. I'll be backfor 1 more try. Ps the chef ????????? did great thank you. Read more

The staff were very friendly. The views from the restaurant are spectacular, but the food was a bit of a letdown. The food... could have a lot more flavor!!! Beautifully plated, but not enough seasoning of the food. Read more

Me and a buddy stopped by this spot on the boat. We ordered a couple of landshark lagers, grouper sliders and peel and eat... shrimp. Food was delicious! Our bartender, Cassie, really made the experience. She was incredibly welcoming and friendly. One ofthe best bartenders I've ever had! Read more

Delicious shrimp and a nacho starter fit for 4 people. Great location on your way to Siesta Key. Eat indoors or outdoor.... Friendly and efficient staff. Give it a try. Read more

Ace was our server and he was training Michelle. They did a great job. The food was fabulous!!! Not busy at all and great view!... Definitely will be going back! Hubby got the grouper tacos. You get 2 but he had already eaten one before I took thepicture.???? Read more

Nice outside seating area (uncovered) overlooking the canal. The food was delicious and the staff was friendly. The menu wasn?t... very diverse for me - they lack salmon in their main plate menu, for example, amongst other ?staple? dishes you?d expect at awaterfront restaurant. Nonetheless, you come back here because of the outside seating and vibes. It?s a great place to bringfriends and have a nice time while watching the sunset. I?d give this place a solid 4.5.

When they say every seat has a view they aren?t lying! Wish I found this place sooner! We will be back for sure! The views were... amazing, the food was DELICIOUS, and if you visit you MUST ask for Rocky the bartender, she makes THE BEST Bahama Mama I?ve had!She was so sweet and attentive, and she makes some mean drinks! Love this place! Read more
