MAGNOLIAS ON THE BAY – Seafood
Waterfront dining on Manasota Key, with Lemon Bay filling the windows and an open kitchen you can watch from the room. Magnolias on the Bay runs two kitchens at once — a sushi bar turning out rolls alongside a fine-dining line sending out Chilean sea bass, filet mignon Oscar and pan-seared scallops — and rotates the menu by season. Happy hour starts at two, dinner at four, Tuesday through Sunday. Diners single out the octopus, the tuna and the room's sunset light. Dressy enough to matter, casual enough to enjoy.
