A FRESH TAKE ON CATERING

Thoughtful food. Familiar favorites. Done the Lazy Lobster way.

Sarasota has some wonderful caterers — but we kept hearing the same thing: the menus were starting to feel a little predictable.
Our catering is built the same way we build our restaurant menus — with care, balance, and crowd-pleasing dishes made from quality ingredients. From seafood favorites to comforting classics, everything is prepared fresh and designed to travel well, without losing its soul.

outdoor dining on our beautiful garden terrace

No reservation? No problem.

Our garden terrace is always welcoming walk-ins, offering a relaxed way to enjoy fresh seafood under the open sky. We also offer hi-top seating in the lounge and a cozy 12-stool bar — perfect for a casual bite, a glass of wine, or lingering longer than planned.

Private dining AND GROUP RESERVATIONS

Some gatherings deserve more than a standard reservation.

Our Private Dining Room comfortably accommodates groups of 10–16 guests and offers an intimate setting for celebrations, business dinners, and special occasions. For larger gatherings, we can host groups of up to 40 guests in our main dining room while still delivering the attentive service and warm hospitality we’re known for.
