Dry Dock Waterfront Grill

412 Gulf of Mexico Dr, Longboat Key, FL 34228, USA
Stunning views, lively atmosphere, and a cool vibe make this spot a must-visit for a memorable outing.
Great stop for my gluten free besties. Food was delish. Service was amazing. Server was well versed in GF restrictions. I got grouper tacos (chefs kiss). Grouper and Snapper are locally sourced...even better.
La Norma Italian Restaurant
Gluten-free options
5360 Gulf of Mexico Dr, Longboat Key, FL 34228, USA
Popular spot with great food, but some are feeling the pinch from rising prices—definitely a hot topic among regulars.
La Norma has long been one of our go-to restaurants while staying in our place on Longboat Key. We have always loved their food. However, I'm sad to say I am very unhappy with how the prices have increased. Last weekend, we ordered a gluten-free pasta dish (I was super happy to have that option) and a 14" pizza and the bill was $60! My pasta was $26.50 PLUS a $4 "GLUTEN-FREE CHARGE" (??). The pizza was $18 PLUS $5 for sausage and $3 for mushrooms. Come on, y'all. This is ridiculous. I get that covid times were tough and I ordered a lot of take out to support the local restaurants but, let's get back to normal prices.
Harry's Continental Kitchens
Gluten-free options
525 St Judes Dr, Longboat Key, FL 34228, USA
A cozy breakfast spot with an inviting vibe, where you'll find a welcoming owner and consistently amazing dishes that keep guests coming back.
Do NOT come here if you are gluten intolerant or celiac. Items are labeled (gf) and at the bottom of menu it specifically states to ask/tell your server to request the item gluten free. I did this and the waitress said “it’s already gluten free”. The dish I ordered was absolutely not. It stated ‘orzo-rice” on the menu and it had orzo which is a gluten pasta. I stated this to the waitress and she said “no it’s rice”. I insisted it has orzo pasta and had her ask the kitchen, which confirmed I would have ended up violently sick if I had ate it and trusted her. She didn’t offer to take the plate or re-plate, I had to ask for side of rice. Extremely disappointed and we will not be returning. Fish portion was small and under salted for a $35 dish.

Ideal for long, laid back dates with stunning boat views and a consistent cooling breeze, magestically hidden in Longboat.
Top 5 restaurant in Sarasota / Longboat Key. My wife loves the grouper and crab cake (gluten-free!). I love the kale caesar salad.
Mar Vista Dockside Restaurant & Pub

With a stunning waterfront vibe, cozy heaters, and a fantastic drink menu, this spot creates a memorable dining experience.
So disappointed to not see the salmon lemon risotto on the menu anymore. As someone who if gluten free this was the best gf meal on the island! disappointed with my experience, especially as a gf customer!
