About the restaurant
If you live in South St. Pete, you know there are few good restaurants nearby. We’re ready to change that.

Whether you want to treat yourself after a long day or unwind in our backyard tiki bar, Mullet’s is about to be your new favorite spot for flavorful seafood fare and sharing a beer amongst friends (or strangers).

Bring your family, your friends, and your mullet.

Currently we cannot guarantee a specific seating section (indoor or outdoor) nor a specific table preference. All bar seats are held nightly for walk-in diners and all other seating is available to reserve. If you are running late, we hold the table for a grace period of 15 minutes before offering the reservation to our waitlist. Reservations are recommended, but we gladly accept walk-ins. For all reservations of 10 or more, please notify the restaurant.

Guests have a maximum of a 2 hour table time in order for us to accommodate all of our reservations.

I enjoy this restaurant. As I’m older I always have to be asked to be seated away from the music. They need to be more mindful of patrons who don’t want to be blasted by music. But the food is outstanding always. I am never disappointed by food or cocktails. They’ve expanded their parking which helps. I never needed reservations previously but lately don’t try going without a rez. It sure helps

About the restaurant
The Dry Dock Waterfront Grill is a “polished casual” restaurant over looking Sarasota Bay. We are located at the south end of Longboat Key behind the gas station. We are north of St. Armand’s Circle, and minutes from downtown Sarasota. Best known for Local Fresh Grouper and Red Snapper. Enjoy the second story dining area with a panaramic view of the bay, or enjoy dining outdoors on our dockside patio.

Our overall experience at Dry Dock was superb! We were seated immediately with our reservation, the hostess was very personable and welcoming. We can not say enough good things about our waitress, Carly! She was so sweet, attentive and checked on us several times to assure we had everything we needed. Totally recommend Dry Dock for anyone visiting Longboat.

In addition to the freshest of seafood, the extensive menu includes Filet Mignon and New York Strip Steak cut from tender Black Angus Beef and cooked to perfection.

What a phenomenal experience! This place has been recommended to us for years and we finally got to see why. The menu choice was vast. We ordered the lobster-cargo (lobster meat instead of snails) and it was scrumptious. Like I’m going to be dreaming of this until we come back good! I had the special “duo” - half order of scallops on a delish sauce and grouper in a creamy sauce. The perfect portion and so good. He ordered the pork chop. For being a seafood restaurant you’d think this was counterintuitive but it ended up being one of the best we have ever had. Caesar was top notch and the desserts were absolutely fabulous. Service was perfection and friendly: I cannot recommend this place enough! Make a rezzie - it’s busy - you won’t be sorry!

About the restaurant
Relax and enjoy yourself as you savor some of the tastiest dishes the Caribbean has to offer. Growing up as a child in St. Croix, US Virgin Islands, I came to love the local cuisine and the abundance of fresh seafood on the island. Love of the Caribbean and its food have helped make this restaurant a reality. My wonderful wife, Laurie, has a passion for Southern cooking and you will find a splendid southern twist in the menu, such as the Kentucky Hot Brown, Corn Pudding and Fried Green Tomatoes.

All our food is made fresh daily. The herbs used in our delicious dishes are grown in our garden here at the restaurant. We invite you to tour the garden and allow your taste buds to be teased by the scent of parsley, basil and rosemary and walk our boardwalk to see what’s jumping.

Thank you for visiting the Farlow’s on the Water website. We hope you choose to visit our restaurant soon.

We arrived shortly before our reservation time and were seated right away. Our server, Sarah, was great. We both ordered from the specials. My seafood crepe was the absolute best. My friend ordered Shrimp Scampi and she loved it. When I have visitors in town, I always take them to Farlow's. The setting and ambience is so unique.
