Colony Restaurants

I enjoy the Colony Restaurants and have dined there many times on Longboat Key while staying on Anna Maria Island. It's a short ride over the bridge.

It is pricey but excellent. X Presidents and celebreties have stayed in the Colony and dined there, Dress appropriately and make reservations.

Enjoy!

We finally made it to The Colony for dinner...after living in Sarasota for 2 years. It was fantastic. Go around sunset - just beautiful. We went on a Friday evening and there is entertainment in the bar - a great place for a nightcap.

My family and I have visited the Colony every summer for the past few years and can't wait to return. This relaxing resort on Longboat Key is tennis-oriented but even non-players will find plenty to do here. If you do play tennis, there are many hard and clay courts throughout the property as well as excellent instructors. The resort is located on the Gulf of Mexico and has a beautiful, white sand beach that is well-maintained. There is also a relatively small pool located next to the beach. Two excellent restaurants are on the property, one more formal and the other an open-air, less formal one with a bar. The resort also has "kids camps" daily, a spa, and has a small gourmet market and two shops on site. Be sure to take advantage of special programs that include daily breakfasts or room credits.
