Siesta Key Florida Restaurants

Are you here for a Spring Break and looking for a Siesta Key restaurant so you don’t have to drive to the mainland? You can find almost every cuisine on Siesta Key. From a little deli to waterfront elegance, each restaurant on Siesta Key has its own special charm.

Spring Suggestions:

Start out your morning at the Broken Egg. Now seating 105, the Broken Egg continues the tradition of “the casual dining experience.” The Portobello Benedict with English muffins, poached eggs, grilled Portobello mushrooms, tomatoes and Hollandaise sauce is one of my favorites. Located at 140 Avenida Messina.

If you are in the mood for a grouper concoction, stop by and try the grouper taco at The Siesta Key Oyster Bar – yummy. The atmosphere here is beachy fun and vacationers and locals mix for lots of conversation. There’s music here in the evening. Located at 5238 Ocean Blvd.

Another lunch tradition is Anna's Deli where they have been serving their world famous "Surfer" sandwhich since 1971. There have two locations on Siesta Key, one in the Village and teh other by the south bridge to Siesta Key.

For a happy hour, stop by and chat with the bartender at the Blasé Café. You’ll find this local restaurant charming, eclectic and the food outstanding. Martinis are special at the Blasé, and the meals are extraordinary. Located at 5263 Ocean Blvd., #9.

Siesta Key Condos for Sale at The Crescent

Siesta Key is a favorite vacation spot with a world-famous beach. The Crescent, built in 2007, offers condos for sale right on this world-famous beach. With a liberal rental policy, owners can recoup some of their maintenance expenses by renting their units during season.



One of the first questions a seasonal renter asks about condos when searching for a rental is "how far is it from the beach?" This is a must see complex if you are planning to purchase a second home and wish to rent it part-time. If you are an investor in Siesta Key condos and just want to rent, it's a "no-brainer."


Siesta Key FL is located approximately 90 minutes from Tampa International Airport. Take the Clark Road Exit in Sarasota from Interstate-75, cross the Stickney Point Bridge, turn right (north) and Crescent will be on your left.


The Sarasota MLS currently reports only 5 condos available for sale at Crescent Siesta Key. Prices range from $1,249,000 to $2,599,000. Amenities at Crescent feature: on-site management, concierge, swimming pools as well as famous Crescent Beach.

We can show you any Siesta Key Florida condos for sale including buildings on Sarasota Bay with boat docks. Some buyers prefer condominiums which are like single family homes. Hamilton Club and Somerset Cove are town-house style condominiums offering high ceilings and beautiful water views to their residents.


Shop, dine or just stroll in Siesta Key Village. Walk the beach, fish or just sit and listen to the sounds of the surf. If you get bored, which is rare on Siesta Key, Sarasota Florida is a short drive to cultural venues.
