"Mar Vista Dockside is our new favorite waterfront dining experience in Sarasota. My family had a fantastic Sunday afternoon-early dinner to end the long Thanksgiving weekend. We really lucked out by getting one of the tables right at the waters edge. I got my seasonal Stone Crab fix, which were perfectly cracked, cold and delicious. My wife had the crab cakes, which dare I say were better than any of the Crab Cakes I’ve had on several trips to Baltimore. Lots of crab and very little filler. My son had the Tuna Poke Bowl which was equally outstanding. The atmosphere under the trees along the water was just what we had been craving! Great service, food and atmosphere. We can’t wait to dine here again!"
