She let us know there were only two servers that night and things might be a little backed up, but we didn't mind waiting at all, we had great company and were enjoying ourselves! From start to finish, Jen was amazing. She gave us wonderful recommendations, made sure our drinks were always full, and kept our table clean and taken care of. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, and we loved every bite! Thank you, Jen, for making our first dinner while visiting for the weekend such a wonderful experience. You were amazing, and we truly appreciate you!

Found this place because of my Yelp community! It is a little hole in the wall, dive (which are…read moreoften the best places!) just a couple of blocks from Siesta Key Beach. It would be completely a miss on your map. We waited for a long time for a table, well past what we were quoted. There's not a lot of tables inside and a couple of bar seats. It is very small, we almost left, and the host said he would bring us food if we wanted to go next door and grab a drink. But it was well worth the wait. The host as well as our server were so friendly, so laid-back definitely beach vibes. They talked to us about how the owner was originally from upper Northeast came down and opened up the shop and they all were friends and worked together. You felt a great sense of a family to the staff. He recommended the grouper Reuben, which, maybe to some of you sounds kind of gross, but it was literally the best fish sandwich. I think I've ever had in my life. And i grew up on and still eat a lot of seafood. It was melted cheese. The fish was fresh. It was packed with fish, just enough sauerkraut and thousand Island to give it just a hint of Reuben. The fish remained the star and the bread was incredible too! The environment as you can see from my pictures it's just what you would expect a surf shack type of place to be and you literally could walk from the beach although we did drive after being at the beach all day. Highly highly recommend 10/10! Seek this place out if you're ever in Sarasota in Siesta Key Beach, it is the best and so fresh you won't regret it.

The result were crabs that were under steamed. We called the store, and we couldn't have dealt with nicer people. Not only did they apologize, but went above and beyond to make it right for us! Everyone has a bad day every now and then, and you never know what people are going through. It always pays to be kind and courteous, and that's what you will get back more times than not in return. Definitely recommend and will buy from this store again!

Once again I struck gold at Walt's Fish Market/Restaurant. A day trip to Sarasota with the g/f and…read morea quick check of Yelp was all it took. The exterior very Tiki looking. The interior, a mixture of fish shack and fish market. Brittany, was our server. Very good at her job. Fast and decisive. When the girlfriend's fries were cold, we told Brittany. No defensiveness, just a quick fix and a smile. The difference between a good experience and an awkward one. First time I've had fish dip. It came complimentary as an appetizer. Very good. I'd have that anytime. I'm a convert. I had a shrimp Po' Boy and my girlfriend, the grouper Reuben sandwich. I could wholeheartedly recommend either. It was a very tasty visit. I commend Walt's and will be back.

I haven't been in awhile but love the new layout of the store. Seems like it was needed to fit all the products and to make the aisles more easily accessible. The line for sandwiches was 5 people deep, lines at all the checkout counters as well. Bought fresh peaches, cucumbers, potatoes, and more. Rave: do NOT leave the store with one of the new blueberry handpies. This is probably the best handpie I've ever had. I popped it in the airfryer and it came out so flaky and gooey. Not insanely sweet either. Wish I bought more of them. Ate it too quickly to get a photo so I looked one up, it's wrapped in parchment paper and in a basket next to the donuts.

They have complimentary valet right as you pull up, especially since parking is limited in the area. We celebrated my mother's birthday and the staff made the occasion so special for her. We opted to sit in the exterior patio, and we were fortunate to experience such beautiful weather and beautiful skies during sunset. We started off with a few appetizers: complimentary bread, eggplant crepes, and yellow tuna tartare nachos. Right off the bat, we could already tell how each dish was carefully crafted with intention with each of its ingredients. For the entree, my husband and I shared a surf & turf. The portioning was just enough for us, without leaving us too stuffed. The night ended with a glass of champagne for each of us and a pretzel bread pudding (not pictured because we ate it too quickly). Ophelia's is such a great place to celebrate any type of special occasion!

Yes, Turtles has all of that-and I'm so glad I found it by accident. I was restless one Friday and pointed the car south. I didn't plan to go to Siesta Key that day, but when I was in that area-and realized how long it had been since my last visit, I had to go. I tooled around a bit on the northern end that I'm more familiar with, then headed way south on the Key. That's where I found Turtles. With its beautiful setting-and a big ol' parking lot, I was immediately sold. There was lots of seating inside-with its happy, coastal vibe, but I chose the outdoor patio-which has two tiers-one covered, one not. It was late spring and I knew the days of comfy patio dining were coming to and end for awhile, so this was the time. Besides-it was even closer to the water. I ordered fish, which was fine... and a rumrunner, which wasn't. I will definitely switch up my order next time. The service was kind-but maybe a little slow. That's ok. You're so enchanted by the ambiance and so chill, it doesn't matter. This was instant vacation, less than two hours from home. Every glance in every direction was postcard pretty. I basked in it-and look forward to doing so again.
