Mar Vista

Busy because of the spring breakers so we had a longer wait than normal. Seemed like most of the staff was pretty stressed. Not one smile from the bartenders as we had a drink and waited for our table. Food was good- as always - but small mistakes on both of our lunches. Easily fixed. We like the place and it's sister properties.

The food was excellent and the atmosphere was wonderful. Our waitress Holly was excellent also and very pleasant and professional. I will definitely go back

Excellent seafood restaurant. Last time we visited, ordered prime rib and Blue Crab claws. Both were excellent.
Blue crab was very sweet and fresh.
Prime rib, cooked perfectly, was among the best I've had anywhere.
Friendly, attentive, knowledgeable service.
Excellent margaritas are made with Mar Vista's private label tequila.

This place is spectacular!! Anytime I bring friends and family to Longboat Key this is our must stop destination for dinner! Only a mile away from the beach and right on the water. Has a GORGEOUS outside atmosphere and I cant stress that enough. If you dont mind dining under the stars, with the sound of waves crashing against shore, as you enjoy your amazing Sea Scallops in Plum Sauce under some beautiful tree tops.

Very good and very popular. Got there around 1:30 PM and still had to wait 45 minutes to get a table. They are in the middle of a remodeling project so that may have been a factor. Lunch was good. ????
