Lazy Lobster Longboat Key

Been coming to anna maria for years and never tried much outside the island. Heard about thisnplace from a friend and decided to check it out. Not sure why we haven't been here before but we are regretting not coming here sooner. This will be a yearly thing when we come to anna maria. This is a short drive from the island on longboat key. The food was excellent. While a little pricey, it was well worth the money. We only had 1 complaint and they was the lobster bisque. We ordered a lot of food for a party of 10 and everyone agreed the lobster bisque wasn't right but it could of just been that night. Everything else was excellent. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting some good seafood and nice place to hang out and have some drinks with friends and family. Shout of to Ben for checking on us and making sure everything was good. They comped the bisque with no questions asked as well.

This restaurant is the best restaurant on this island and possibly in Florida! The Lazy Lobster entree and the Grouper Madeline are so delicious. And the lobster bisque is something I will fantasize about. Ask for Eric to serve you, he is amazing and recommends the best dishes. Trust me, forget going to Anna Maria Island, eat here. It'll change your life.

Had a wonderful dinner last night! The lobster bisque soup and bay harbor meal were delicious. Our waiter John superb and try the fall themed sangria, delicious.

Don’t sleep on this one! It doesn’t look like much from the outside when you drive by. However, the food is AMAZING! It’s cozy and classy , a bit more upscale inside, very nice ambience inside and they do offer a patio with a little more casual atmosphere outside when it’s warm enough. We come back often and so far everything we have had had been extremely good! My favorite is the sea bass and the lobster escargot. Definitely recommend!

Just have to give a huge shout out to Michael Garey, owner of Lazy Lobster in Longboat Key! I dine out a lot and most places disappoint in one aspect or another. Not at Lazy Lobster. There was absolutely nothing about my first time visit to Michaels establishment that I could comment negatively about. We were greeted in the most delightful way and seated immediately where we were once again greeted by our awesome waiter, John. John was attentive, accommodating and just overall, the perfect waiter. Our meals came and everything was delicious, even my request for part of my meal to be cooked a certain way was perfect. Dessert was a dream and our entire experience was just a delightful way to welcome Christmas. The long drive to get to Lazy Lobster is so worth the experience. (To have the owner go to every table to ensure you are a happy customer reminds me of the days of excellent customer service, a rarity these days.) If you want a phenomenal dining experience I highly recommend this restaurant!
