The Shore on Longboat Key: Coastal Cuisine

Overlooking the sparkling blue waters of Sarasota Bay, Shore opened on Longboat Key in 2019 replacing Moore’s Stone Crab which operated for over 40 years. With clear, panoramic views of Sarasota Bay, Shore has quickly become a Longboat Key staple. Tiered "stadium-style" seating gives every table an uninterrupted view of the water, and large windows allow natural daylight to flow through the building. The design aesthetic has an old Florida feel with a mid century and modern twist, with all of the booths and tables made reclaimed Balinese teak and locally sourced cypress. 

Shore's inspired menu of creative coastal cuisine, dreamed up by talented chef Dylan Elhajoui, features dishes from around the globe, and showcases dishes such as Key West Shrimp and Scallop Risotto, Lump Blue Crab Cakes, Lobster Sliders, Fish Tacos and chef Elhajoui's sensational Miso Marinated Black Grouper served with crystallized ginger basil sticky rice cake and sake-braised shiitake mushrooms. Former Moore’s Stone Crab Restaurant co-owners Alan Moore and Robert Hicks even act as consultants during stone crab season, making it a culinary marriage of the old and the new — it's a 'shore' thing.
