    Our plan was to go to the bar area for happy hour and have a beer and some appetizers. The bar area was full, so we sat in the dining part. Even though the hostess said we could have the happy hour menu at our table, the waiter said that this wasn't the case. He suggested to have some appetizers that are part of the early bird menu. We decided on each having a serving of firecracker shrimp and share an artichoke spinach dip. I also enjoyed a Cigar City Jai Alai IPA. The beer is a dollar more than in the bar area. The 8 shrimp were very nice and had a bit of a kick. The dip was a bit disappointing. The spinach was a bit overpowering the rest and I missed the cheese.

    The bar menu

    We wanted to sit in the bar area, order a couple of appetizers, and a beer for my husband. The bar area was completely full, so we moved to the regular restaurant area. The woman who seated us assured us that the bar area appetizer menu was available at the table in the main restaurant. This is not true. In fact, our waiter said he heard her say that and wondered if something changed. He told us that if we wanted to move to the bar area, he would look for a couple of seats. None opened up in the next few minutes and there are limited(choice of only three) $8.00 appetizers available in the dining area. We ordered two Firecracker shrimp appetizers($2.00 more than in the bar area) and one artichoke-spinach dip(Same price as in the bar area). The shrimp had a nice flavor, a bit of a kick. There were 10 shrimp on the plate. The artichoke-spinach dip came with 8 garlic crackers, so a little added flavor from the crackers. The dip was not very flavorful. It was just chopped spinach and artichokes with small amount of baked bread crumbs on top. It was not the traditional spinach-artichoke dip made with cream cheese, mayo and Parmesan. Additionally, the beer my husband ordered was $2.00 more than the same beer in the bar area. (Our waiter told us it would be $1.00 more.) Our waiter was very nice and attentive. We should have arrived a 1/2 hour earlier and we might have been able to eat in the bar area with quite a few more appetizer choices. It was the experience I have had here in the past, a bit disappointing.

    Prime rib HH sliders!

    We've enjoyed dinner at the bar during happy hour twice now. Jackie is an excellent bartender & great at making recommendations & ensuring our drinks were always full despite the bar area being packed! Get there early - it gets crowded quickly! The happy hour menu is the best in the area. It has a wide range of choices of food & drinks & everything we have had has been enjoyable! Sliders, tuna, lettuce wraps, bread basket & calamari are all solid choices. Plenty of parking & great views of the water!

    While in vacation, we stopped in at Chart House for Happy Hour. There were a variety of items and we tried virtually everything on the menu, including the lettuce wraps, spinach artichoke dip, crispy spicy tuna, lobster tartare, and prime rib sliders. The service from the hostess stand to the table left much to be desired. The restaurant is in a rather rundown location and showed its age. Our server seemed less than interested in picking up our drinks from the bar or circling back to inquire about additional orders. The dining experience was hampered by the awkwardly low (though comfortable) seating and tiny tables. The food was quite good, particularly the crispy spicy tuna and the sliders, though the portions were perhaps even smaller than we predicted (lobster tartare). Despite that, I wasn't inspired to return for dinner based on the overall experience.

    Chart House on Longboat Key nails the happy hour experience. With unbeatable views of the water, it's the kind of spot where sunsets and cocktails go hand in hand. The happy hour menu has plenty to love--good pours, tasty bites, and prices that make it easy to linger a little longer. The vibe is relaxed but still polished, perfect for sipping a drink, sharing a few apps, and soaking in the coastal scenery. Definitely one of the best spots on the island to wind down.

    Prime Rib

    Excellent service from host to server. A great view try to sit window side. Fantastic experience, meal from appetizers to main course cooked to perfection. Have eaten in other Chart Houses and as this one highly recommend.

    Special touch !!!

    We spent Monday evening at the Chart House for our 29th Anniversary. Everyone was very welcoming. We had no wait and our tables view was spectacular !! The menu even wished Gene and I a Happy Anniversary. That was too cool . Our waitress was LINDSEY and she was spot on. Everything was timed perfectly. She was beautiful and super friendly. All our courses were amazing . No complaints at all. I had the Seabass and lobster risotto and my husband had the prime rib ... delicious. And you have to try the hot lava cake made to order and fabulous. Thank you, Charthouse for making our evening so special. We will be back. Gene and Christine Williams

    Excellent view, attractive decor and delicious food. Consistent quality we're used to. I'm taking off one star because it's not the service we're accustomed to at Chart House. It was our wedding anniversary. Although the hostess acknowledged it (and enthusiastically), our server did not, and we also didn't get a personalized menu with our name and occasion across the top. We discussed over dinner that maybe they just stopped doing it, but on the way out we saw a bunch of personalized ones rolled with ribbon, so we know they still do it. Also it's odd.. although our server was nice and knowledgeable, he was not warm and we also had this feeling maybe we were sized up from the start like he didn't feel he was going to get a big check from us. We hadn't even decided what we were getting, looking over the menus, and he asked "Are you ordering from the early bird menu?" I did have it on top because I was reading it after I read the specials menu but hadn't gotten to the main menu yet. So I thought it was weird. Was it because I wasn't dripping in jewels like some of the other patrons, or because we ordered water instead of wine? Not sure, but it shouldn't matter. We should all be treated like they're thrilled to have us there. It's part of why we always loved Chart House all these years. We've only been to the LongBoat Key location once before, but the Tampa one many, many times before it closed, and other Landry's restaurants as well, and we were always treated like VIPs. It was truly wonderful. Not the experience whatsoever this evening. We had to wait quite a while between courses... we were done with our entree and waited 15 minutes twiddling our thumbs till he came by to check on us. Also twice I was completely out of water and had to wait quite a while for a refill each time (a pet peeve of mine...I can't stand waiting for water, and that's rarely an issue in the nicer restaurants). We weren't even asked if we were Landry's Select members, but we noticed the table next us was asked. Anyway, after tonight it's unlikely we'll be back at all and have already chosen a new restaurant we went to earlier this week as our new anniversary restaurant. EDITED TO ADD: The manager Helena called us shortly after we wrote this review to apologize and ask for another chance to wow us. We are impressed by that and as a result will be happy to give Chart House another chance.

    Stone crab claws appetizer
    Heather B.

    Had a 4:00pm reservation. Greeted and seated immediately at a gulf front table. The view was amazing. We watched the birds and dolphins throughout the entire meal. Ordered the stone crab claws appetizer and the shrimp and lobster carbonara. Both dishes were delicious. Great place for a nice date night.

While Bohemios is tapas, they also offer some full plate dishes such as the Paella and our other dish, Bohemios Churrasco. We definitely liked the food. The Paella had a mild familiar flavor. It could have used more seafood but for the price, I was more than satisfied. The Churrasco steak was cooked perfectly for me and their zesty chimichurri sauce made it excellent. I didn't try the side of Gallo Pinto, I don't really like most beans, but my wife seemed to enjoy it. The fried sweet plantains were delicious. Another thing I did enjoy was their Mediterranean Bruschetta, three pieces stacked high, what a great start to the meal. Bohemios is a smallish place with about 8 tables and maybe a dozen bar seats inside, a few more tables outside. Reservations are recommended. Our server was a fun, outgoing, memorable guy and we loved all our interactions. The pace of the meal was good, about 10 minutes for the Bruschetta, another 10 after we finished for the main course. We picked a bad day for only one reason, the guitar player was out with an injury.

I love Dry Dock Waterfront Grill and I always visit when I am in the Sarasota area. Dry Dock is always busy so I am also sure to make a reservation in advance using Open Table. Typically we sit inside but I know the back patio is popular too. If your timing and patience is perfect, you can also get a nice a nice window seat in the dining room that has sweeping views of Sarasota Bay. The inside atmosphere is bright and airy and although airy often translates to loud, Dry Dock thoughtfully put noise dampening panels on the ceiling. As far as food, I don't think you can go wrong. I always get something with grouper whether it be an entree, sandwich or tacos. On my most recent visit I got the grouper filet with coconut shrimp because I had originally been eyeing up the coconut shrimp as an appetizer. Ultimately, we decided to get the rock crab claws for an appetizer which were good but more work than I planned even though they were pre-cracked. I felt like a Neanderthal trying to eat those crab claws in such a nice restaurant. No offense to the Neanderthals, of course! I have no idea what my husband had as it disappeared. After entrees, apps and bread, we were too stuffed for dessert. I think our server was Cari and she was awesome! Attentive, friendly, funny and quite possibly a mind reader and magician. She saw the hanger in my eyes and made bread magically appear. I hope I got her name correct because she was superb! Shout out to all of the great staff members at Dry Dock -we've never had a bad experience. I love Dry Dock and it will forever stay in my Sarasota rotation.
