    Outside tiki fun with live music!
    Alicia P.

    Pleasantly surprised with the service, food, live music... wish I lived closer, I'd be here all the time! Really enjoyed the mellow one-man show... played kind of a yacht rockish setlist, but he sang, played guitar and was right up my alley. This is an extension of the Captain Curt's right across the road, but 2 totally separate entities. You'll get part of the Captain Curt's menu, lots of drink options, live music of course and great service. I had beer - the Graffiti Orange (S7vth Sun), it was in the can, but poured in a cup and was brought nice size chunks of orange to enhance it. I ordered the grouper basket, it turned out to be like big fish sticks. They were good. And others ordered the friend pickles (in spears - not chips) and a few other things that I didn't get pics of, but they enjoyed it. I would definitely be back...the stools around the spool tables were a bit uncomfortable, but that could just be my butt's problem.

    We came here day one for some drinks and chowder with friends so the wife and I came back tonight. I had the clam chowder again and it was even better. This is the best NE clam chowder I have had. I also had the fried file fish and WOW!!! My wife had the Cuban and it was legit. The servers we've had both times were great. Have to love the location on the gulf. When we came back they had karaoke and we're having a great time. Place fills up so come early. If you're come to Siesta Key/Sarasota don't miss it.

    The service was great considering how busy it was. It's a cool tourist family place no doubt. I got a cheeseburger and fries and me lady got the shrimp and fries . I have to give both I think what we ordered was frozen food the shrimp where breaded but that was soft and not much flavor the burger WELL there's a lot better products out there in burger land BUT the bun was banging and the bud light was delish and thirst quenching. Hey if you don't eat you will still have fun.

    Cute place, good music. Has an overhang area with seating. The drinks are good and the service is attentive. Coconut shrimp was good; I like the sweet chili sauce better with coconut shrimp but the orange sauce wasn't bad.

    The food and service was pretty good. The best part about this place is they have live music or karaoke every day!

    It's a nice full service tiki bar. What is better than listening to to live music with some sort of rum drink in your hand

    We love the new setup at Sniki but bumping down to 3 stars because of the lack of ventilation to deal with all the smoking.

(Hence the 4 stars vs 3) If you are stopping in for regular lunch or dinner, then I would go in with average expectations. My husband, son, and I popped in for lunch before the beach one day because I was, in fact, dying to try the chowder. It came out piping hot in a cute mug, totally overflowing. I scraped out every morsel. My baby really enjoyed it too! I always feel the need to get fried shrimp at least once on a beach trip, so I got shrimp and french fries. I asked for a side of a type of Ramailo to dip my fries in. It was just an average basket of shrimp and fries. My husband got gator bites and they weren't nearly as good as the ones we get in Ohio, which is saying something since skaters are caught fresh in Florida... The dipping sauce they came with was better than the gator bites themselves. We didn't park because we took the trolley, which dropped us off a few blocks away. Prices were fair for seafood in a vacation town. Our server was kind and attentive.

But there's a reason behind this. The owner is on site quite a bit it's nice to see him. While the place certainly has quite a few miles on it mostly because it keeps getting beat up during hurricanes it bounces back. Feel free to bring a dollar and staple a dollar to the ceiling or if you're a copper firefighter bring your patch and they will hang it proudly. When I'm on vacation I like my food very simple. A simple double smashburger and fries 100% does me in. For servers are definitely all smiling another staple and not really an expectation but I'm so glad to see it. My wife got a chicken quesadilla not really adventurous again for the same reason.

Plus who doesn't like cheaper raw oysters from 3-6PM EVERYDAY??! Servers were friendly and efficient. I like how you can nail a written on dollar bill on the wall. It's a cute, interactive idea.

Po Boy Oyster 10/10: This was fried the best considering we went to other restaurants and ordered the same dish. We'd be happy to have this meal again. Seafood quesadilla 8/10: Can't go wrong with this! I have a small appetite but still almost ate the whole thing.
