We had dinner at the Gasparilla Inn on Boca Grande last night. The food was excellent, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was excellent. You must dress for dinner, which is a nice change. Had a window seat overlooking the gulf course. We were treated with dignity and respect. Would return again. A very special place !

What a beautiful place to have a romantic occasion or to celebrate something special. You are treated royally from the moment they seat you until you walk out the door. The choice of bread is wonderful. The shrimp cocktail was delicious and the Caesar salad is very uniquely presented but tastes just wonderful. The chef must be creative and amazing.... More

Went during busy season but it wasn't too crowded. First of all there is no sign or anyone waiting near the door to tell you to choose your own seat. Finally a server told us to sit anywhere. Once we did several servers walked by us for over 10 minutes and never said a word to us. Not one of... More

We had been to this restaurant before and loved it, and it did not disappoint in any way. We were celebrating my husband's 75th birthday, and could not have found a better place to do so. The property is just our style - grand, traditional, understated, and elegant. The service is superb without being overbearing. And the food was wonderful.... More

We were staying at the Inn so knew in advance about the dinner jacket requirement. We loved the service, our waiter was from Turkey and so pleasant and professional. It was really a dining experience. The bread was even divine, and offered throughout the meal. I got the Caesar salad which was very creatively presented. My fish was excellent as... More

Charming atmosphere and very friendly staff set me up to expect a great meal. Unfortunately, it didn't happen. On the advice of our dinner companion, I chose the lobster. $44.00 for a little baby that had been sadly overcooked. And I noticed that the crab appetizer someone else had was portioned awfully small. I know I had dessert, but I... More

I love breakfast. Love. Dinner is very elegant for me and I feel in Dowton Abbey. There is certainly nothing to dislike.

Prices were higher than you would normally pay for breakfast but the food was quite good. Nice menu options for those who like seafood and those who do not care for it. Attire is neat casual... More
