Longboat Key’s Million-Dollar Dining

Reservations are not required. The menu consists mainly of seafood. Gorgeous Gulf views are part of the meal. The dress code is beach-casual. And USA Today named it “the most likely place to sit next to a millionaire and not know it.”

It’s Mar Vista Restaurant on Longboat Key, and it’s a hot spot for locals and Florida vacation rental and resort guests – including those who enjoy Longboat Key Club and Resort or one of our many Florida vacation rental properties. Serving up a taste of Old Florida, this restaurant dates back as early as 1912 and is recognized as one of the twelve oldest surviving structures on Longboat Key.

Among the many exhilarating outdoor dining experiences offered to Florida vacation rental and resort guests here, Mar Vista beams with views of Sarasota Bay, fresh seafood and a full-service bar. Families enjoying a Florida vacation rental or resort often prefer the restaurant for a complete casual dining experience, to ensure everyone leaves satisfied.

Florida vacation rental and resort guests can visit the historic restaurant and pub by land or by sea, as it is located on the bayside of North Longboat Key (south of Anna Maria Island), in the heart of historic Longbeach Village, across from a popular boat anchorage. Thus, this millionaire magnet is ideal for Florida vacation rental and resort guests – whether arriving by yacht or by kayak…by Bentley or by bike.
