The New Shore Restaurant & Shop on Longboat Key





After three years of construction, Shore opened on Longboat Key in the summer of 2019 replacing Moore’s Stone Crab which operated for over 40 years. Purchased by Tom Leonard and Mark Caragiulo for $3.2 million, the new Shore which is sandwiched between the Longboat Key public pier and Mar Vista Dockside Restaurant & Pub sits on 400 feet of waterfront with a 300-foot dock that offers bayside access to boaters. Boasting clear, panoramic views of Sarasota Bay, the new Shore seems poised to become a Longboat Key staple. The restaurant features what owner Tom Leonard calls “stadium-style” seating, with a slanted design that gives every table an uninterrupted view of the water, and the outdoor seating area is covered by a retractable roof. Leonard says he wanted the restaurant to be warm and intimate, but modern at the same time. Shore's inspired menu of creative coastal cuisine showcases sensational dishes such as Key West Shrimp and Scallop Risotto, Lump Blue Crab Cakes, Lobster Sliders, Fish Tacos and their sensational Lobster, Shrimp & Crab Cobb Salad with avocado, bacon, egg and chopped romaine lettuce with a yuzu-tarragon vinaigrette.
