    Bread was a lovely, delicious start. Had crab cake appetizer, and then the ribeye with scallops, grouper, and filet with blue cheese crust plus the brussels sprouts and truffle mac. All were excellent, steaks prepared perfectly. The mac was pretty good. It was a nice evening out.

    Summer house lobster bisque
    Arnieliz S.

    Went here for my birthday, the service and food was great! Our waiter was very nice and attentive. For apps we had the lobscargot, it had nice chunks of lobster and escargot but a little too cheesy for our taste buds. We also had the lobster bisque, it was amazing, my husband is a big fan of lobster bisque and this is his fav, with the chucks of lobster and balanced flavor. Our main entree, I had the baked halibut and it was very delicious, it had everything, halibut, mash potatos, asparagus, lobster cream sauce . My hubby had the rigeye and a loaded bake potato, he said it hit the spot. Def check this place out if you're in the area!

    Great food! A must have dinner when I'm visiting Siesta Key! Never disappoints and always consistent.

    We brought in the centerpiece but the table was decorated with rose petals and a card, before we arrived. Nice touch for a celebration

    We celebrated my parents Anniversary at the Summer House last night. It was beautiful. Upon arriving, The table was decorated with rose petals and there was a nice decorative card with their names on it. Cheryl was our server who added to the elegance of the evening. She was very friendly and attentive. She even provided a champagne toast and apple juice for the kids to toast. All of the meals came out as ordered and everyone enjoyed what they ordered- steaks, lobster, scallops, fish, Mac & cheese, loaded potatoe..... delicious. The only drawback we have always had here is that the temperature of the restaurant is too cool and the drink prices are very high, even taking into consideration its Siesta Key prices.

    Sunday brunch. Let's talk. We took 13 people there. First of all crab legs. Cold is fine but they were so small and poorly cooked could not easily eat and full of water. Just ok small selection and was ok but for over $75 a person plus mandatory tip which is fine we had to keep asking waiter for things. Never re offered eggs drinks or anything barely cleaned plates from buffet. Broken lift for accessibility wheelchair 3 broken high chairs. Just honestly expect more than dead flat whipped cream and hard crepes. If this was good we'd be back. But maybe not now. Needs some serious work for cost. This was fine for maybe $45 and the mimosa was terrible juice. Juice was not fresh. Nobody liked them.

    I went to this restaurant last year and decided to invite some colleagues to join me for dinner there when I return to Sarasota. This place gets really busy so I highly recommend either making a reservation or going on the earlier side. They open at 4 PM. Our server was Joei and we had an amazing service. I recently became dairy free and they were able to make the halibut dish that I ordered without dairy. The oysters were fresh. There is a huge fish tank inside and it does get a little cold so bring a light jacket or coat. Come check this place out if you have a chance.

    Baked Halibut

    I want to come back to this place every day. The crab cake melts on your tongue. The lobscargo is incredible, so many flavors and they all mesh beautifully. I ordered the baked halibut as my entree and I would be doing a disservice if I didn't tell everyone to order it. The lychee martini was the best martini I've ever had. We were served by Amanda and she was SUCH a delight. Incredible restaurant, if you're looking into going... make your reservation now.

    everything was so fresh! i had an amazing experience with Noah, Wade, and Todd this Sunday morning! Definitely my best experience dining in Siesta Key so far!

    Chocolate tort

    I wanted to have a nice dinner and this place was about half a block from where I was staying. I made reservations and went at 6pm. They quickly seated me at a roomy table even though I was dining alone, which was really nice. It had a comfortable vibe, not overly fancy but nice. You wouldn't want to really come here with flip flops on. I had a glass of cabernet and started with a beet salad. It came with baby arugula, goat cheese, and candied pistachio. The menu stated that the dressing was blueberry vinegarette but I couldn't tell. The salad was dry with only a subtle hint of dressing in the middle. I ate the beets and the goat cheese and called it quits. For my entrée, I had the 12 oz Prime Angus ribeye. I asked for medium rare. I don't like overcooked steak. I also ordered some creamed spinach. The creamed spinach was great and the portion was quite large. I would say, 2 people can easily share this side and be food. My steak was overcooked, sadly. It came out more like a medium well rather than a medium rare. The taste was good but on the dry side from over cooking. I ordered dessert as well. I had the flourless chocolate tort but it was swimming in raspberry sauce. It was good but I couldn't finish so I took my leftovers back to the condo I was staying at. Service was excellent. I was impressed with how quickly things came to my table and how attentive the staff were. The food could have been better.

    We arrived at around 6:40 pm without a reservation and were able to get a table within a few minutes! The hostess was kind and led us straight to our table. Our waitress-- Terry, was absolutely phenomenal! She read us the specials and was very attentive. I was celebrating my 21st birthday and she was the first person of the day to ID me!! She gave me a cute birthday card and congratulated me :) The food was PHENOMENAL. I have never had a steak with such an amazing crust yet still juicy and pink in the middle. I will say, the halibut dish was oversalted and overpriced for what the dish contained. The drinks were delicious but nothing special, I would not get it again unfortunately. As for the ambiance, it was modern yet cozy and a bit dim. If I were to celebrate another special occasion, I'd visit again (but not anytime soon as it was a bit pricey lol).

    Gulf Grouper L'Orange entree over bourbon Brussels. Delicious meal!

    My third visit and the quality and presentation is always excellent. Get the 16oz Tomahawk pork chop or a steak. Wonderful appetizers such as Lobscargot and oysters. Sides are sizeable so perfect to share! Loved our meal. Fine dining on Siesta Key!

    Chocolate martini

    Went here to celebrate my dad's 70th birthday. We made a reservation weeks in advance. Our table was ready early, and they messaged us by text, so we went early. We only waited five min for them to set up our table. We were surprised that they had handwritten a birthday card for my dad! What a nice touch. Service was excellent. The food was really good. They brought us some freshly baked rolls with salted butter. Yum!!!! We had a half dozen of seasonal oysters, the French onion soup (mom loved it!) and a siesta wedge salad but didn't want to get too filled up on appetizers. My husband and I split the 18oz NY strip. They offered to split it in the kitchen, which we agreed to, and appreciated. I asked for it with blue cheese- a good decision. My dad had the 12oz NY strip Oscar style with a side of seared scallops. Mom had the 6oz filet, my mother in law did as well, with a side of cognac mushroom sauce, and my father in law had the 10oz filet. We shared sides- bourbon bacon Brussels sprouts, grilled asparagus, five cheese macaroni with jalapeño and bacon crust, hand crafted Wagyu beef fat fries, and the wild local mushrooms and onions. All the sides were so good. Steaks were cooked to our preference and for once- mine had enough salt! Woohoo! They surprised dad with a complimentary dessert and a candle. Not a lot of places do that anymore. We were very grateful. We had a round of dessert cocktails- chocolate martini, espresso martini and some sort of alcoholic Vietnamese style iced coffee- which was fantastic! It had a whipped vanilla cream on top. We were in and out of there quickly as we didn't want to miss the sunset on the beach. Bathrooms are clean, valet parking (we walked), great service and delicious food. Plus they treated us so nice for my dad's birthday celebration. We are so thankful. I would recommend this place!

    Lobster bisque & bread starter
    Yanae S.

    Every time I'm in town relaxing at siesta key beach I come to this place for the most amazing steak & lobster dishes. Over the Mac n cheese I prefer the risotto & the lobster bisque was very unique and tasted like it took hours to cook. The service is always great & my drinks are pretty refreshing. After a day in the sun you could even split a steak and side dish with someone and after you each have a drink and the starter bread and/or app you will be satisfied. I prefer to have dinner right when they open verses later at night just because I prefer to eat in peace and get my food super fast haha. I've done both and was content recognizing the sweet time to have dinner drinks and dessert with an in and out peace included mentality!!

    If you eat at 4, probably not. If you eat at 5 or 6 or later, yes definitely. Especially on weekends.

    Hello I booked online a party of 6 for today 7/12/2022 at 6:30 pmPlease confirm our reservations went thru online?Thank you Iris Ramos?

    You should get a text or email confirmation

    What is the attire -- causal vs dressy? Do they have a dress code?

    I would say just nice shorts and shirt nothing special. The food is so good

    Kid friendly? 4 month old. Would like to make a reservation for wife's birthday. Thanks!

    We took our 5 and 2 year old there, the staff was great and there were other kids there too. Request a seat by the fish tank and your baby will be mezmerized the entire time :)

    Do they have wagyu on the menu currently? I see reviews for it, but haven't seen it on the menu.

    Google their menu! Such a stupid request!!!!

    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.

My parents raved about Walt's and how wonderfully fresh it is, and we were excited to try. We were brought some smoked white fish spread to start out. I am not huge on smoked fish spreads but I did really enjoy it. We got the ceviche and hush puppies to start. I wouldn't get the ceviche again (shrimp and some white fish I don't remember), but the hush puppies were very interesting and we did enjoy them. For my entree I got the snow crab legs with the recommended seasoning. This was a great move. I loved the crab and with the seasoning it came with I didn't feel like I needed to use a ton of butter. My husband got the triple tail, being one of the day's featured fish. We weren't in love with it, but it was our first time trying triple tail so maybe we could've gotten something else. The atmosphere is great, with the fish market right there in the restaurant. There's a nice waiting area with bar access where you can even get some appetizers. The staff was cool and attentive. Would definitely come back to dine or shop!

Thanks to the recommendation of a total stranger, my husband and I finally checked it out earlier this week. Naturally, I had already done my due diligence by reading approximately 22 million Yelp reviews and looking at pics before walking in. I'd narrowed down my choices, but after chatting with our server, I went with the lobster burger. First of all- who decided to put the words lobster and burger together? It sounded confusing. And possibly unappetizing. Turns out, I owe whoever invented it an apology. The sweet server swiftly delivered a buttery brioche bun stuffed with big chunks of lobster, crisp lettuce, and a juicy tomato. I also requested a side of melted butter because...obviously. I feel like if there's lobster involved, melted butter is non-negotiable. Crispy fries rounded out the meal, and it was so ridiculously good that I pretty much unintentionally halted all dinner conversation to enjoy the party in my mouth. My husband ordered the ahi tacos with a side of duck fat fries. He inhaled every last bite of the tacos. They were piled high with fresh ahi and all the fixings, and the duck fat fries were rich and savory perfection- crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, exactly as fries should be. The restaurant itself is pretty small, with just a handful of tables inside plus some outdoor seating. I can definitely see this place being packed during peak hours and high season, so plan accordingly. We'll absolutely be back sooner than later.

The duck fries were amazing and the Steakhouse burger was tasty. My lady had one of their island bowls with shrimp and she enjoyed it. I can't say anything negative about this place. If I want to nitpick the establishment is located inside a strip mall and wedged in the corner between Birkenstock and a cafe. It is very small with inside seating for approximately 20 people and has some outdoor space as well. All in all a great place and worth going to.

Our party of 10 waited nearly two hours for the only table that could accommodate us. We understood the wait and didn't expect special treatment, but what was frustrating was the complete lack of communication or problem-solving from the staff while much of the inside dining area appeared to be sitting empty. Once we were finally seated, things only got worse. We waited another 30 minutes without a single server acknowledging our table. No one greeted us, brought water, or even let us know someone would be with us shortly. After going back to the hostess stand to ask if someone could please assist us, we still received no service. After waiting over two and a half hours between the wait for a table and the lack of service, our entire party made the difficult decision to leave without eating. We understand that restaurants have busy nights, and delays happen. What was most disappointing wasn't the wait itself, it was the lack of communication, urgency, and customer service. We hope management takes this feedback seriously because no guests should have this experience.
