Oh! My salmon viviana was just so delicious, just perfect. Husband had grilled swordfish which again was perfect. Service is good and the fish tank is amazing, a good talking point for guests and fascinating to watch whilst waiting for your food.

Had lunch with two friends and was somewhat disappointed in the food. The fried fish sandwich was overdone and way too salty. My friends had watery lobster rolls. The place itself is nice and clean and friendly. .

When visiting the USA there are always loads of places to eat. Any price range is always available no matter where you are. Sometimes you deserve a " wee treat". Smart casual is what I would call the LAZY LOBSTER. The food is also under that banner! The overall price for a very nice meal was approx $170. The starter,... More

We recently visited a friend in Longboat Key and asked her for a recommendation for a good place to eat. She decided we should all go to the Lazy Lobster. This was about 5:15 on a Sunday evening. She said they have early bird specials, which they do. The problem was, even at that early hour, they were all booked... More

On the first night of our vacation to Longboat Key, we sought out a nice place to dine. This restaurant was rated as #1 and we decided to check it out. Without a reservation we decided to go early in hopes that they would be able to accomodate us. We got there at 5:30 PM and the house was full.... More

Prior to our trip I read restaurant reviews on Trip Advisor and decided we had to try the Lazy Lobster. It was the best decision we made as the food was incredible! Not only good to eat but the presentation was something I am not used to in reasonably priced restaurants. As I said in the title - a real... More

Have holidayed in Longboat for the last 10 years so have been to most of the other restaurants around the area. Had dinner at the Lazy Lobster for the first time last week and was impressed. They have a great selection available on the menu. We all ordered something different and all four meals and sides were perfect. Our hostess... More

Recently, our friends suggested we meet at the Lazy Lobster on Long Boat Key, which was about a forty minute drive for us. The resturant is located in a cute mall with several interesting gift shops and eating establishments. We made phone ahead reseverations and were seated within five minutes. The ambiance of the Lazy Lobster was warm and inviting... More
