The atmosphere & seating are perfect for both indoor and outdoor weather! The food is okay, had a good variety of seafood options. A wide selection of alcoholic beverages as well, usually has a live band that you can listen to when you sit outside.

Casual waterfront dining with indoor and outdoor seating. We dined outside for lunch. It was a lovely setting. Food was superb. Our waiter Marcus was very attentive and had a great personality. Huge menu with lots to choose from. Found out that they have a different menu for dinner and lunch. I will definitely be going back to try more things on their great menu. I highly recommend this place! Dessert was also delish but I dug in so quickly, I forgot to take a picture of our dishes! Ha!

Service was great, very quick. Rita, our waitress, was very friendly and knowledgeable on the menu. Jerk wings where very good. Ruben sandwich was great. I got mine with no mustard or pickles. I put some of the jerk sauce on it and some ranch dressing, 💯! Overall great food and nice atmosphere.

Two days in a row, because it worth! Amazing environment, just make sure to make a reservation to sit outside. Margarita is delicious. Sangria was good. Painkiller first time came boring. Only juice. So in the second day, we gave one more chance and it was delicious. Crab cake is bland. Tuna appetizer is very good. Their bread is good. Clam chowder is very tasty. The sliders is spectacular. BBQ ribs is boring. Ossobuco was soft, but not very tasty. Chicken with the wine sauce, amazing. Bread pudding is extremely sweet.

We are returning costumes of Farlow's on the water and I have to say - very happy customers...! The management and stuff are ALWAYS amazing, very attentive, they can't do enough for you (besides the food they're serving it's amazing for our taste). On our last visit - Saturday January 29, 2022, that it was specially shift manager Theda and waitress Terri, they didn't do just their work duties, they went above and beyond by being very compassionate human beings... To explain - it was little glitch with our online booking through the Tock (third party company they're using for their bookings), when I tried to make reservation for interior sitting (even we usually going for wonderful outside patio sitting or boardwalk sitting), because they were predicting unusually cold temperatures for this region. The earliest time I got was 2:45, which I took (actually we were aiming for very early dinner.) When we came to the restaurant, the hostess said that is actually still lunch time and I don't want to go to details, but let's say - her people skills were not so good (perhaps she should get better customer service training regarding situations like this) and we were very unhappy about the situation, but we still went in and that's when Theda and waitress Terri sensed that something is not right, promptly corrected everything what wasn't done perfectly with hostesses and that way they made us to stay and welcomed us and couldn't do enough for us... Theda went out and beyond and have our special dinner menus printed, (because they weren't ready yet) specially for us and they changed also our utensils for dinner time. We are so appreciative of their customer service and how much we were treated with dignity and respect, and we couldn't stop tanking them enough..! We definitely will be coming back..!

Have to say....I was craving a good steak and pickings are slim in englewood! Glad I got that much needed piece of red meat!! It was cooked to medium rare perfection! The corn coconut risotto was DELICIOUS! fresh veggies were just right! So to sum it up......great and satisfying meal! Also the service was equally as good.....I highly recommend this eatery....Go and enjoy

Down this way working my son and I ate lunch here. The place is great. Excellent service. We had the the Jamaican Jerk chicken wings... 15/10. Then I had the carribean sampler. The stuffed shrimp was 9/10, the small grouper (blackened) was just to small 7/10, scallops where big but not as flavorful as the rest. 6/10. Totally recommend this place.

We have been to this establishment before and the food is always great. This visit we got oven roasted cauliflower. It was cooked perfectly and was not mush. We had the chili crunch wahoo and the hogfish caught from the Florida keys and both were executed properly. As far as service it was subpar like always so if you’re in a hurry this place is not for you. The waiter was cordial but no sense of urgency. This seems to be the standard anymore. We had some wine which was great and complimented the dishes we had. When you have to close out the bill the server brings over a credit machine and stands there waiting for you to input the NOW 18/20/22 percent gratuity which is uncomfortable especially if it doesn’t warrant service. Let’s just encourage mediocracy post Covid. This seems to be the current way of processing credit now in all establishments. In closing, great place for Caribbean inspired fish dishes from a local spot for a weekend visit.

Sunday night, dinner for four plus a baby in a stroller. Called ahead for a 6:00pm reservation; were seated promptly upon arrival. Great food, drinks and service. Thanks Jonathon, you are one of the top professional servers we have had the pleasure meet. The entire staff paid meticulous attention to allergy notations and Covid procedures. Absolutely no fear in dining here. Wonderful dining experience all around.

Do not come here is you are looking for typical bad service and mediocre food. Farlow's is wonderful. You can taste the love in every bite. Cheesy? Yes but spot on. The service is top notch professional. The chef's create delicious food and will educate you if needed. This fish pictured below tasted like chicken. How? Why? I don't like fish, but this was divine. Do not come early because that's when I come so I don't have to wait too long. Make a reservation - this family owned and operated restaurant is Englewood's finest.

2 Stars, Well not good.... Service tonight was bad, some of the absoluteworst. Drinks took 30 mins to show up, well some of them that is. Apps and bread took over an hour to arrive and they were cold. Try and get another drink was an impossible task. I get it it was busy but this was beyond slow. We sat at 615pm and did not get served until 8pm. 7 years we been going here on Xmas eve. Food was not good either, apps were good, main course once it showed up was at best was ok. The pasta seafood dish was absolutely horrible, they even said this was a new dish. Baked fish was ok at best, it was more poached than baked. Overall we were very disappointed.

We finally got reservations to this hot spot in Englewood and it did not disappoint! The food is a fusion of Caribbean and American food, accompanied by soft jazzy music in the background. I recommend the Mahi Mahi with bell peppers mangoes and pinapple, Caribbean rice and baked sweet potato with buttery rum sauce. Also, if you're having the house salad, pls try their citrus balsamic dressing...it is out of this world. We had conch fritters as appetizer....it brought me right back to my life growing up in the Caribbean. Our server was Mike from Hawaii...what an amazing person. All his recommendations were spot on..Pls make reservations, it is hard to get in when the snow birds are here and on a regular night like tonight it was packed.

Recommend reservations for dinner, especially if you're dining after 6PM, made easy through their web portal. I chose email and text reminders which had links to easy adjustments to reservation through same portal, which I had to use. I chose to sit on the patio, since it was wet season. We still had a beautiful view of the water from our table and there were plenty of fans and the breeze kept us from drowning in our sweat. Farlow's has a huge variety of seafood choices! The calamari was not overly crunchy, or soggy, and had a good amount of meat. (not pictured) The fish tacos were rather bland, in my opinion, and the rice it came with was oily. However, my guests felt the Caribbean Seafood Delight with grilled blackened grouper was "a mouthgasm" and the Coconut shrimp with corn pudding was a staple they always like. The coconut risotto was very delicious and had many layers of flavors. Staff was very kind and knowledgeable about menu items, including fresh fish of the day and how it was prepared. We will return!

Good food, very, very busy. Staff was great. Good drinks. Nice crowd, good band. Had the Shrimp Scampi. Everyone else’s food great. Shrimp was just one step away from being spoiled. Weird, iodine taste; ( like fresh, then frozen, then thawed, sat around to long, then cooked). Watch quality control guys, our you could have a lot of people with food poisoning. Owners responded very kindly to my concerns; So I have changed my review from 4 to 5 starts. I wish them the best for 2021 and god willing we will return. I think, in part, a benefit of Google and it’s review process is to give customers like our family, a constructive outlet, to provide observations without a explosion of emotion at the time of the event. Call it a safety valve. We made no big deal at the restaurant, did not punish our server with a bad tip but wrote the above comment to management. They responded professionally and deserve credit for doing so. Thank you. Steve

Great menu. Lots of choices. Great service.

Fantastic food and the staff was exceptional

Thank you for existing! We thought there were no restaurants in this area that actually had really good food and real fresh seafood that wasn't all deep-fried! Farlows blew our foodie minds! We had the portabellow mushroom appetizer that was soaked for 24 hours in oil and balsamic vinegar and stuff with blue vrab and topped with tons of cheese. The main was blue crab stuffed triple tail and the island sword fish topped with a macadamia mayo cream sauce.....omg...im just saying their fish was so fresh so good and the flavors were out of this world. The two sides that really stuck out for us was the coconut rosoto and the corn pudding even down to the service was just amazing. If your visiting Florida and your looking for a REALLY good place to have a night out Farlows is it. Treat yourself! Worth every penny.

Excellent menu and food was fresh and delicious. Service was attentive and not overbearing. Highly recommend!

I got the sirloin sliders which were terrific BUT very little meat. 3 very small sliders with a thin small piece of meat between lots of bread. Disappointed in the quantity for the price.

The best locally!

Food was awesome. However, if you order the Caribbean Seafood Delight ask that they don't overcook it. Flavor was good however way overcooked and dried up. Soup sandwich combo great. Clam chowder great and loaded with soft clams. Crab stuufed portobello excellent! Even at a busy time service was good!

Great atmosphere and delicious food.

A friend and I just had the best dinner at Farley's on the water and even though they were very busy you were very much distanced and everyone was safely wearing masks and just a beautiful evening.

What a wonderful evening to enjoy a very good bottle of wine, while feeling the gentle breeze. The service was beyond exceptional! Everything on the menu watered my tastebuds! This is a must visit! They made my sisters birthday so special! Thank you!

Awesome waterfront dining! Our food was delicious, server was a nice gentleman who was attentive and the hostesses made sure my kids got a waterfront table after having traveled all day. We would definitely go back!

Farlows is absolutely amazing. The food is always incredible. The outdoor patio area is a fantastic place. Its almost like being inside. Menu has many options for almost any food preference. Highly recommended.

*Wow, food was top notch! *Staff was super friendly. *The only thing I didn't care for was the salad. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad. Just kind of like a normal salad you'd get before a meal at some old timer diner, or the dinner train. Personally, that salad before the meal is the reason why we go to Outback for dinner, so much. So I'd recommend upping that game... aaaand just putting it on some bigger plates. Mixing the dressing was tedious. *Will definitely come back to try some new things!

High quality seafood in a beautiful setting. Farlows on the Water offers a huge variety of fish and seafood meals as well as poultry, pork, and steak options. The menu is huge so there is bound to be something for any palette. Seriously, the menu is so huge that making a choice is difficult (in a good way). Oh, and the drinks and dessert menus are also quite extensive. Our experience at Farlows was lovely. There is mostly outside patio and garden seating, but the patio seating is covered with fans and the garden seating has umbrellas for each table. There is a dock right on the water where one can enjoy the beautiful scenery and even spot some of Florida’s local wildlife. The wait staff was friendly, speedy, and attentive. Everything from our drinks to appetizers to the main courses came out at a reasonable and consistent pace. The food was pretty tasty. We started with the appetizer combo with conch fritters, fried green tomatoes, and coconut shrimp. The conch fritters and coconut shrimp were perfectly fried and flavorful. The fried green tomatoes were good but cocktail sauce was provided instead of a traditional remoulade which is what I would have preferred. The salads (we all had Caesar salads) were cool and crisp, however, rather bland as the dressing tasted a bit watered down. The fish was fresh and flavorful and the portions are generous. I had the fish tacos which had great flavor but didn’t contain as much fish as I was expecting. Our son loved his lightly blackened red snapper. Overall, we enjoyed our dining experience at Farlows.

What a beautiful place to be! The food was delicious as well. The waiter was so helpful, attentive, and generous. If you haven't been there yet, it's time to go.

My family is visiting this week to celebrate my wife’s birthday and choose Farlow’s as their dinner destination. A nice waterfront view restaurant nestled in Englewood right off hwy 776. Farlow’s carry an ample dinner menu, especially seafood choices that will delight your taste buds, friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere. We had a variety of dishes since we had a large group. They were deliciously prepared and well proportioned. Everyone enjoyed our time together and made my wife’s birthday a memorable one.

We chose to come here because we were searching on maps for a reputable seafood and steak joint to satisfy the absolute void in our stomachs. To say that the steak and seafood pie we ordered satisfied and filled that void would be a serious understatement. They started us off with a shrimp cocktail appetizer that featured beautiful large and perfect shrimp and a cocktail sauce that was unique but rich and flavorful. After that we were served our salads, I got a Caesar and could not believe the quality of even the salads that this place puts out. It was so fresh and loaded with croutons and Parmesan cheese, with just the perfect amount of dressing already tossed in. I could've been happy with just a there salad... But I was still eager to try my main entree, and when it came out and I took my first bite I was blown away. The scallops, shrimp, and lobster meat in the seafood pie we're bursting with flavor and cooked to the perfect texture. The lobster sauce that it was smothered in was also just poignently delicious. Even both the sides, coconut risotto and garlic mashed potatoes, we're so good I couldve written reviews on those alone. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for somewhere nice to really enjoy a meal. Can't wait to go back!

You can't beat the setting. Garden, patio, and indoor dining options all offer views of the water. The menu features Carribean-inspired dishes with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables and local seafood. Reservations were limited and the prices reflect the prime location and upscale environment. Expensive but delightful for a family dinner. The garden and pati areas are particularly nice.

Very nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Food could use a little improvement. Seafood stuffed mushroom really didn't have much seafood and didn't have the greatest taste and Fish was raw.

This place is a wonderful experience of great food at water setting. The tiggerfish and redfish were amazing as were the conch fritters. On the pricey side but we thought it was worth every $$$.

It was my 75th birthday today. Before my husband was killed in a car accident, he always took me to Farlow's on the Water to celebrate my birthday. I live alone with no family near. I decided I would go to dinner even if I was alone. I am so glad I did! The stuffed triple tail was so amazing. The service was fantastic! Some of the wait staff and hostesses paid for my meal. I was so grateful and surprised I couldn't remember their names. I have eaten there many times and the food and the dining experience is always amazing! Thanks to everyone who made my day special.

Staying in the Manisota Key for vacation and always spend time researching restaurants and ensuring their menus work for everyone in my family. Shared Farlow's menu with my daughter who is a vegetarian, and she liked the options that were available and we headed there for dinner. We arrived and were able to get a table in the outdoor patio area which was a very nice area. Doug was our server and was quick to arrive ar our table and being first time guests, gave a brief overview of the cuisine we were about to experience. He also asked about food allergies/ dietary restictions and while they did not apply, always happy when servers ask. Despite many appatizers, we were a bit stuffed from a late lunch and just ordered entrees. I did order a Hazify ( New England IPA) from Palm City Brewing which was served nice and cold on a warm summer evening. My daughter ordered the The Bad Hunter (Herb roasted cauliflower steak and potatoes served atop our house made pepita pesto and accompanied with grilled asparagus) and I ordered the Peter Island Scallops (U12 sea scallops lightly blackened and layered over fresh blue crab meat then topped with sautéed spinach, artichoke hearts, lemon, white wine cream sauce, topped with shredded Asiago cheese) With my meal, I had a choice of two sides and picked the Boursin Herb Mashed Potatoes and the Quinoa Salad. Both our meals also came with a side salad. Overall our meals were great. The vegertain options available to my daughter were something different that is not very common in restuarnts that serve steaks and seafood. Clearly I enjoy both and finding places that I can bring my daughter is challenging and Farlows did a great job. We both enjoyed our meals and had a great time and enjoyed the overall dinning experience. Love the area and will definitely return the next time we may be down this way.

Amazing place! Love the food!! Exquisite fresh salad with grill shrimp 🍤 😋 👌 cooked at perfection!! I recomend this place with 10! And its beautiful 😍 ❤ clean.

We came here only because we wanted lunch but I wanted a cocktail with lunch and they have a full bar. What we experienced was not expected. We figured this was your usual bar and grill on the water, ho hum, you can toss a coin to the next when near the water. The place is beautiful, open airy. There is full outside dining, a covered and protected patio for dining, a bar, and inside. I understand they have their herb garden you can walk through but being a blustery day, we chose the comfort of inside. The place is clean, and there are barriers between booths. The menu has a regular lunch menu and a specials menu. When you usually see “island fare” it’s usually some Cuban dishes and or Jamaican and maybe something a bit off the beaten path if lucky. Here, you see Barbados, St Croix, Trini, St Kitts, Anguilla, etc. Wow! They use organic bits, fresh blue crab for stuffings, clean meats. There are also lots of southern foods that are elevated to finer dining. Here’s the thing, yes, the menu reads beautifully and lots of awesome choices but to be real, the food is what makes it. It’s not just “food”. It’s art, it’s passion, it’s amazing. I ordered what read as a standard quinoa and kale salad with Trini pepita pesto and seared tuna. The kind of thing you can easily put together, right? Not here! There was an apple and jicama salsa that was in the quinoa. The baby kale was fresh and lovely. The pepita pesto was smooth and tasty. The tuna... was buttery soft and melted in your mouth. It was just like what you expect at a really good sushi restaurant, buttery tasting, melts in your mouth deliciousness. There was amazing care taken for every part of the dish. They do this with all the dishes. They aren’t just slapped onto a plate, they are artfully arranged and every component had lots of thought go into them. You can taste the heart and soul. This is what sets this place apart from other waterfront places. The pricing is fair. It’s not cheap, but you can eat cheaply. It’s not crazy expensive, but some of the higher end dishes do sport a higher end price, that I find justified. Not everything has a price listed. Yes, it’s kinda that place, but in a good way. The drinks are poured generously. 2 and you are in no pain. The “Fruit Punch” is oh so smooth and yummy. We cleaned our plates. Stuffed to the gills, we didn’t want the experience to end so we actually ordered dessert and a dessert coffee. The pineapple cheesecake- oh my wow. I’m not one for crust but I did nick a chunk off the remaining bite. We went back for dinner, as I thought I left my glasses there. I did not. I need glasses to find my glasses! The menu and specials changed. The pricing went up. I think you can easily drop $100 before tip, but with this restaurant, it’s worth it. You really do get some great bang for your buck. It’s the kind of place I will watch my pennies during the week to save up for a meal here. I don’t do that very often. I find this place well worth it. I will certainly miss it after we sail off in a few weeks. But, I think I would absolutely make my way back if close enough. I want to tell you go! Enjoy! Just please, leave a table open for us.

Great menu!

Been here pre-Rona & it was delicious * I had specialty rib plate & BF savored every piece of his fried Hog Fish 🐠🐟 went again just yesterday to pick up a bday Hog Fish plate to go & was very delighted by every employee in a mask & tables were spaced apart accordingly 👍👌 even made reservations for Valentine's which was so easy & the gals were just so 🙂 nice & helpful....can't wait to head back & try another delicious creation 😋

Seafood crepes were delicious.

Farlows is the absolute best restaurant in the area!

Seated imediately with reservations Sat outside. Service fast and courteous. Food great! Large menu for lunch. Deserts to die for.

Wonderful atmosphere, great menu variety, delicious quality food, friendly & courteous staff.

Great Dining experience food was great.

Wide variety of great food!

A most pleasant surprise! Food evidently from a scratch kitchen - everything we had was to-notch. They use high quality foods (fresh and wild-caught seafood), and everything was as delicious as any five-star restaurant we've dined in (though the prices were very reasonable). Our server (Jen J) helped make the meal even more pleasant. Even though Farlow's is an hour drive, we will not hesitate to enjoy it again soon.

We enjoyed our first visit to Farlows. The food and service was very good. We had the fish tacos based on others recommendations and the chicken something both very delicious. For Englewood this is the best.

Very nice place, good food atentive service. COVID protocols in place, this limited tables. Suggest a reservation.

For dinner we ordered the St Croix cranberry chicken salad with citrus vinaigrette, Jerk naked wings and kids tenders with french fries crispy. Food was great. Cooked to order, fresh. Cant compare to anyone else. We ordered curbside. Not sure if we need to request plastic ware, but we will next time just in case. Everything came out timely and servers were very friendly. They took good care of us. Thank you!

Tonight we had the most lovely dinner. We live over an hour away and it is always worth the drive. As always, our food was scrumptious, we especially like the Johnny cakes. A must with each visit. Our waitress Nikki was very friendly and attentive. Can’t wait to return for another yummy meal!!!!

Beautiful outdoor seating, friendly staff and delicious food. Drinks were well prepared and desserts are large enough to share, highly recommend the bread pudding dessert.

Delightfully good food, beautiful atmosphere, reasonable prices and excellent service. Everything you ask for and expect from a fine restaurant!

Great food, great service.

Great food and very nice ambiance.

Great food and staff

Food was delicious!

Loved it, food was fabulous and service was great

Good food, nice place.

Food was good. Service was excellent.

A little pricey but outstanding food atmosphere and service. little pricey but outstanding food atmosphere and service.

Good food.$$$$ Great staff. Go at 11:00am for lunch. Not crowded.

The food was very nice however, the service was what gave this restaurant 3 stars. First the hostess act like they hate their job. We where placed in an area with no sun and no heater outside. When I asked if we could move not only did the waitress say it wasn’t in her section but also said it in front of us again to the hostess walking by. This made us feel very uncomfortable and almost wanted to walk out. You shouldn’t make your guest feel bad because the want to feel comfortable. Lastly, we watched some else’s food sit in front of an empty table for more 10 minutes before it was taken to the right table. I hope this also did not happen to our food as well. Overall, would not recommend for sit down service but maybe if you want it to go.

Atmosphere. Service. Food

Our server was great, the Lady From Boston! The Food was fantastic and Farlows was clean!

We enjoyed a late lunch yesterday at Farlow’s. The covered patio is spacious and the view is lovely. All our meals were wonderful and the Bread Pudding dessert was amazing! Our server Ashley said this was only her third shift when we complimented her on her service - well she was a great server! I wish we could have the recipe for the House Dressing - I loved it! We’ll definitely be back.

We went for lunch today. The food was great, tables were socially distanced and the staff treated us well. I do wish, however, a dress code would be enforced at this nice restaurant. Cut off sleeves, ratty t shirts and baseball hats just don’t fit a nicer restaurant like Farlows.

Always love thos place but the chicken and corn bread not so much

Food ,friendly service and nice outside seating!

The food was amazing and our server Kristina was right on point, thank you.
