I'll be staying at the Resort at Longboat Key in a couple of weeks. Any restaurant recommendations for Longboat Key, Anna Maria Island, Siesta Key, Bradenton, and Sarasota areas? Never been to the area so any help would be appreciated. Go Noles!

I saw some where that there was some sort of environmental crisis causing hundreds of fish to wash up on some gulf (?) beaches.
Here's three on Longboat Key
Mar Vista (North end of longboat) casual local and on the water.
Dry Dock Grill and Chart House (South end, different sides) pricier fare but very good
of Course St Armands on Lido Key has Columbia and if you haven't eaten at one you should. Just make reservations, because there is a very long wait at that location.
Another decent cheaper local place on Lido is Salty Dog which is right across from Mote Aquarium. Nothing spectacular, but great location on the water and decent casual food.
There are a number of places around Bridge St on Anna Marie Island.
Unfortunately one of the best restaurants on Longboat is in a private club. Portifino in Longboat Key club is really, really good, but also very expensive and you can't go unless you are a member or staying there.
Dry Dock , owned and operated by a loyal SEMINOLE family. Strong supporters of F. S.U.
Made a rez at Columbia and staying at the resort so will check out Portofino - thanks!
I'd rather eat at the ice cream shop in St. Armands before trying Columbia again.
I haven't eaten at that one, but have at four other locations and never had a bad meal. According to the website Armand shares the same extensive menu as the original one in Ybor.We ate at Columbia about a year and a half ago in St. Armands. I was very disappointed. The food was very dry and the menu was limited compared to the other Columbias. I'd rather eat at the ice cream shop in St. Armands before trying Columbia again.
You eat your fish while they are still alive? I like sushi, but that's as fresh as I will go.

Sadly the one with the best view is gone. Darn corrupt politicians tore down a perfectly good pier in St Pete.
I think Maison Blanche on longboat key is legitimately a top 5 restaurant in Florida. Maybe top 1. Pricey. Worth it.I'll be staying at the Resort at Longboat Key in a couple of weeks.

There will be some spots on Bridge Street in Bradenton Beach for that. I forgot but Mr Bones BBQ up the road is supposed to be good. Planning on going there next time...Any nearby game watching locations?
We have some time to kill in on Sunday before departing TPA @ 7:15. Any suggestions? Good brunch location? Cuban sandwich spot?

I’m still ticked about what they did to the pier. And it’s not just some modern place, the location is historic as the first million dollar pier.

That can't be the finished product can it? That looks like something you'd see in Bangladesh after a typhoon came through...
