From
the day The Colony Dining Room opened on Longboat Key over 39 years
ago, it quickly caught the attention of the local sophisticates
and the international travel set alike. This classic restaurant
has a bevy of floor to ceiling windows offering Florida's finest
view of the Gulf of Mexico, here you will rediscover the true origin
of fine dining. The Colony Dining Room cuisine that we describe
as Contemporary Continental is not only inventive, fresh and seasonal
but true to the many indigenous local ingredients such as fruits,
heirloom vegetables and seafood caught just that day off shore.
You'll also enjoy one of the nation's finest wine lists and a wait
staff so well trained that The Colony Dining Room continues to receive
the most coveted national awards and praise year after year. Open
daily for lunch, dinner and Sunday Brunch.
