Eating Out on the Gulf Coast

[Clare R]

Any chance that this section can be widened out to include restaurants in Sarasota, Englewood, Port Charlotte, Boca Grande, Naples etc? Those of us with Gulf Coast homes do eat.

Prime Time
Johnny Leverock's
Steamer Crab and Ale House
La Stanza

End Zone - more of a bar
Fisheries

Boca Grande - Loose Caboose - excellent crab cakes

Port Charlotte - Nav-a-Gator (on the road to Arcadia)
- Red Lobster
- Sam Seltzer

There are some on your list I have not tried yet Clare but I can also recommend

Palm Island – Rum Bay

Englewood – Farlows, Lickerty Split Café and Gulf View Grille

Boca Grande/Gasparilla – The Pink Elephant (for a special treat) and South Beach Grill

Venice – Crowes Nest and Sharky's on the Pier

Think I had better start the diet before our next trip
