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.
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 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.
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.
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).
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!
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!
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!!

Made reservations for four on a Sunday evening. We sat down at the bar while we waited for our other party of two, but was never approached about ordering a drink. Eventually, our party arrived so we moved to our table. Our waitress was super friendly and very helpful with ordering. We started with the Lobscargot which was amazing! The lobster pieces drenched in butter were soo good. Three in our party ordered the filet and it melted in your mouth. My husband ordered the baked Halibut and loved it. He doesn't usually order fish, but he said it was incredible. Highly recommend this restaurant for a nice night out. It's definitely a nice change from the bar food along the strip. read more

Hi, I tried to send this email to the restaurant direct and was unable to . My wife and I had a special date night last night. Terri offers great service and is great to work with. My wife ordered the 6 oz filet and it shows up on a plate with the filet and one pepper. Not a presentation that we would expect from such a high end restaurant, pretty disappointing. The steaks were cooked to perfection. I hope you take this info and enhance your meal presentations in the future. Ed read more

We had a great experience at Summer House. The food and drinks were amazing and our server was very friendly. We also celebrated two birthdays while we were here and they had a birthday card on the table for us when we arrived! read more
Had to try it a few times to make sure it wasn't fiction. Personal service - Ginger the hostess texted me from her phone to confirm; and when we walked in was so pleasant. Amanda our server- and the previous two gentlemen were over the top friendly & attentive. Food? Perfectly cooked & served. Would come back here every night. (Be patient, some of the staff have lost everything from the hurricane but yet show up with smiles & so courteous). read more

First off, I don't give places a 5. Second off, they seated us near the bathroom. We got the brussel sprouts and mac and cheese. I got the ribeye and my wife got a filet steak. Our kid got the kid flank steak. It was great. Everything is great and I will definitely come here again. read more
Great experience! We had a birthday party with 13 people. We were promptly sat and greeted with waters. The waitress explained the specialty cocktails and gave a run down of the menu. Once we ordered drinks, they were all brought together along with a few plates of bread for our table. We ordered appetizers, salads, soups and entrees. The apps and soups/ salads were brought out together. Filet mignon was delicious and so was the Brussels sprouts and French fries They brought out a complimentary dessert for the birthday girl and we sang happy birthday cake The carrot cake was to DIE for! We ended up splitting it between everyone because it was so big! read more

Summer House continues to be an absolute must when visiting Siesta Key. Just like last year, the pork was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. The wagyu sirloin was incredible, as I didn't want to splurge on it last year and knew better this year . It was crispy with a beautiful crust on the outside and cool in the center, exactly how I like it. The fries were tasty, and while I couldn't enjoy the mac and cheese this time due to a newly developed severe dairy allergy, it looked so amazing I almost considered it with my EpiPen ready! Eric, our server, was fantastic, friendly, funny, and attentive throughout the night. We enjoyed warm rolls, lychee martinis that were both strong and sweet, and even birthday green tea shots, which Eric kindly offered. The ambience was wonderful for our Sunday 8 PM reservation, and the handmade birthday card briught to our table by the manager was such a thoughtful touch. Summer House remains one of our top dining experiences and will always be a Siesta Key staple for us. read more
Very modern and chic restaurant. Reservations a must here. Great food but comes at a higher cost than other restaurants in area. Food was great as was the service. Great spot, but be ready to spend a bit more on your dishes. read more

For our 15th wedding anniversary, we returned to the Summer House. Reservation, reminders, and communication were on point. They asked for info to make our time special. We enjoyed our first meal, so we ordered our favorites again. French Onion soup boast flavor with sweet onions and was not strong or salty, just perfect. We got a single crab cake with big chucks of crab. The beet salad had amazing texture with goat cheese, pistachios, blueberries, and arugula. We shared the ribeye, which was seared with a crisp edge but with med-rare inside. The lobster risotto was really rich with strong lobster flavor, which was cooked well but very rich, so a little goes a long way. We were treated with a light creamy custard dessert with biscotti. Joseph was an excellent server and made our dinner pleasant. We shared our meal, and he had the kitchen split it for us. We don't drink alcohol but had refreshing mocktails. The blueberry lemonade had fresh blueberries and hit the spot. We enjoyed our special anniversary meal and will keep the sweet anniversary card they gave us. Perfect touch! read more

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!!!!
