Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Longboat Key

Clean, sheek restaurant with friendly staff. First visit here. Thought it would be more of Mediterranean type food. Food service was fast and very tasty that we chose in limited menu ( which we like ). I had GF flank steak while my husband had the wagu steak and we shared sides of potatoes and carrots. It’s a la cart. A little pricey, but do recommend this place.

We’re spending two months on Lido Key and feel so fortunate to have discovered Blu Kouzina early on! We stumbled upon the restaurant while walking by during the day and were immediately drawn to the charming outdoor seating area. Due to the chilly weather, we decided to dine inside, and the warm, inviting atmosphere instantly made us feel at home. We made a reservation for a Tuesday evening, not really thinking it would be necessary, but we’re so glad we did! When we arrived, the restaurant was buzzing with energy and at full capacity, but we were quickly and graciously seated. From the moment we walked in, we felt genuinely welcomed by the entire staff. Our server was exceptional—despite being busy, she never rushed us and made us feel like we had all the time in the world to enjoy our meal. She provided great recommendations, and we were thrilled with our choices. I had the grilled calamari platter, which was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. My husband opted for the lamb wrap with fries, and he absolutely loved it. We didn’t have room for an appetizer or salad this time, but we’re already planning to come back soon to try those as well. Blu Kouzina is definitely on our list for repeat visits! Cheers!

What a gem of a restaurant New to the area and liked the menu on OpenTable Delicious food service friendly and efficient and great atmosphere with lively music. So glad we dined here highly recommend!!!!!

We had an incredible experience celebrating our wedding anniversary here! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel truly special, even surprising us with a thoughtful handwritten note. The food was absolutely fantastic, and I was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion sizes, especially since I had expected smaller servings. Every detail was carefully attended to, making it the perfect setting for a special occasion. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to celebrate in style!

Food was very good. I will go back. Ambiance was good. Could not see the belly dancers from where I sat, not sure what they added to the atmosphere. Good value.
