Euphemia Haye Restaurant & The Haye Loft

We arrived for a Valentine’s Day Dinner special that was $175/pp + tax + 20% tip that was added on top automatically. My boyfriend was so excited about this one – he had great memories having had a dinner here before so we were both looking forward to it. Our experience was however beyond disappointing. It was a 4-course dinner à la carte style: we chose our options in the beginning. All courses came fast (too fast - once we were finished with one course they have the next one ready in hands. For the place like this and the price you’d expect all courses made personally to order, not just being ready and waiting for it to be taken out). Complimentary sparkling wine was so bitter we couldn’t have more than a few sips. Haven’t had something so cheaply tasting since college. Before the first course we were served Banana Bread and Butter (why dessert?). I understand it can be a funky take on Bread & Butter but for a historical high end restaurant like this it’s just silly. They did serve warm bread along with the first course though. And thank god they did, because the Chefs Pate had only the driest tiniest toasts imaginable. And giant slices of cucumber and tomato with tiny pieces of red onion. This course was only saved by the bread. Look at the photo: What do you expect me to do with: half a tomato, thick sliced cucumbers, bread that is beyond dry and hard as a rock… what is going on?? Baked Potato Soup was cold (!) and had something like Sargento cheese sprinkled on top – basically a cold grated cheese in a cold soup. 0/10. Caesar Salad was decent but not fantastic. They say it’s what they’re famous for, which is sad. I overheard the waiter telling the table nearby that they change the menu every week. Why? Why not perfect an existing menu and work on the presentation and the taste and sourcing the best ingredients. Simply the price has to be justified. Ceviche was delicious. If we were coming back to Euphemia it’d be for the Ceviche. It was so good. Quite possibly the worst dish we’ve ever been served in any restaurant was my boyfriend’s main course - the Veal. It’s a saucy thinly sliced meat on top of a pound of half-cooked spaghetti. Everything about it was unappetizing: from the presentation to the aftertaste. I had the Fillet Mignon for the main course. The presentation itself is pretty embarrassing/sloppy. But overall pretty decent. The dessert….. you’d expect the dessert to be at least pretty. I don’t recommend the Chocolate Mousse. It was some sort of cheap milk chocolate powder mixed with premade packaged whipped cream. Was surprised the menu had only 4 dessert options considering they have the whole dessert room upstairs with ready-made desserts. Overall, the service was attentive and the restaurant itself is gorgeous. Never coming back though nor going to recommend this place. I wasn’t the one paying the bill but even I think it was the worst waste of $500. Truly feels like my boyfriend was robbed of his money for trying to do something special for me for Valentine's Day. The only positive out of this whole experience was the comedic ride back home recapping how awful it was. This alone is a core memory that my boyfriend and I will never forget.

Nothing about this place has changed in 20 years since the last time I was here and I mean that in the best way! We stopped by the haye loft for a light dinner and some key lime pie and left happy. Few things in life are exactly the way you remember, but this experience was exactly what we hoped for. The staff was super friendly as well and brought some toys for my daughter when she was restless as well! Absolutely worth the visit if you are in the area.

Great place!! The deserts are next level. We had a piece of pecan pie, peanut butter pie, and probably one of the best apple pie’s I have ever had. Two people could easily split one slice of any of them. Must go to place if you’re in the area. And the bar is a small, well stocked cool place as well. A lot of options, and great service.

We just had a wonderful meal here tonight for our sixth anniversary! The food was excellent as was the amazing service and attention by our server, David L., and the wonderful sous-chef, Josh, who came to the table to discuss our dietary restriction (vegan) and prepared a really special meal for us! It was healthy and delicious, we loved it! Josh also came back at the end to see if we enjoyed it, which is above and beyond for the chef! The ambiance is beautiful, and the service was memorable in the best way… a marked improvement in our dinner experience here compared to previous years. We are so happy we chose to spend our anniversary here! We will definitely be back. Thank you!!

5 Stars! A Gem of Longboat Key! Nestled upstairs, The Haye Loft offers a funky and fun atmosphere that stands out as the best vibe on Longboat Key. It's not just a dining spot; it's an experience. The desserts, housemade daily, are a bountiful delight with the chocolate cake, peanut butter pie, and brownies deserving a special mention! The magic of the place is further enhanced by Georgette, who not only provides insightful tours and history of the restaurant but also guides patrons through the tempting dessert options at the dessert bar. The service is nothing short of excellent, carried out by seasoned servers whose tenure spans years, and sometimes, decades. This continuity of staff adds a layer of warmth and familiarity to the service that is rare to find. In summary, The Haye Loft is not just about great food; it's about the magical experience that begins the moment you step in. This place should have 5 stars. Our orders: Shrimp Rolls Hummus Cesar Salad Peppered Steak Blacked Shrimp + Dessert

First time back to this restaurant after 2 changes of ownership and it is back on top form. Every dish is superb, most especially the sweetbreads, which are truly exceptional, and the duck - a signature dish. Cosy atmosphere downstairs with bar and dessert room upstairs. Prices are commensurate with quality; expect the best and to pay for it. Corkage fee is $30 for you oeneophiles. Overall, highly recommend.

My wife and I had returned here for dinner after a few years as we really enjoyed it. The atmosphere was great but that’s the only good thing about it. Everything else has changed . The Pasta was sent back, as it was a child’s portion for $34. (A pound of pasta is $2.50 and their serving 5-6 oz portions? . The bread was served just before dinner and after the old caesar salad they must have have gotten on sale. After I returned the Child’s portion pasta the waitress had an attitude. We still left a 20% tip but We’ll never be going there again.

Old rustic ambience. Food cooked to quality perfection. Veal Marsala must try if you’re a veal fan. Service was impeccable. The restaurant is house made into a restaurant. It’s down a little tiny road. Very interesting. There is a parking lot and barely no sign telling you it’s even a restaurant. On the upper floor of the house there is a bakery that makes homemade desserts, yum. Two separate checks. We had a very unique experience. We will definitely return in the future.

17-year tradition. Thanksgiving Day dinner at Euphemia Haye. I think we missed one or two years as we were up north and this year my plus one was not feeling well so it was take-out from the upstairs bar. Had a wonderful Jack Daniels Manhattan starter and the Caesar Salad while waiting. This place is absolutely the coolest coziest restaurant in the state of Florida hands down - very unique atmosphere. Turkey dinner plate special: standard fare, gravy, mashed, stuffing, and cranberry sauce. Menu item was Key West Snapper. Sides Creamed Spinach, Brussels Sprouts, Colliflower Mashed. Desserts Apple Pie, Banana Cream, and Pecan. The food and presentation with unique items and flavors will bring you back. It's difficult to get to from the mainland, basically about halfway between St. Armands and Ana Maria so no matter if coming from north or south causeways, it's a bear to get out here. Well worth the trip definitely put this one on your list to do. Check out the dessert room upstairs after dinner!!!

Very nice ambience. Bars are both nice and the dessert loft is beautiful. But...my dinner was overpriced and disappointing. I ordered the cannelloni. Who puts ground beef in a cannelloni? It should be sausage with spices. hamburger meat? Come on! Our server was very nice and Attentive.

First time visiting Longboat Key and this place did not disappoint. Longtime, neighborhood restaurant, got to meet the new owner which has done a great job of keeping the original appeal. White table cloth and deep wine list add to the Florida keys, eclectic vibe. The chef accommodated a picky child and did an off menu substitution - super nice and much appreciated. The grouper special with the tomato basil oregano sauce was light and definitely bread dip worthy to clean the plate! We also had the red snapper with pistachio crust was fantastic too. The filet mignon cooked to just right and was thick and juicy. Was told the Caesar salad was the same recipe and same guy making it from 1977 - old school, hint of anchovy - one of the best I've had. One unique part is the desserts. If interested, they bring you upstairs to the Loft bar and seating area to review the dessert options - wow! All made in house and we bellied up to 7 different choices (there were 6 of us) - pecan, key lime, peanut butter chocolate, banana crème, brownie ala mode, coconut crème and a chocolate ganache all sampled in a wine box paneled, wood heavy, throw back loft space. My favorite was the peanut better choc, lite but very rich tasting. Had to take my time savoring each. My one slight 'huh' moment was regarding the pasta that came with the shrimp scampi dish - several large clumps of stuck together pasta. I didn't let it detract from the meal as overall though. Will definitely come back and recommend to anyone.

As loyal & very longtime customers, we were so excited to return & so happy it reopened!! Our family has so many great memories there! Unfortunately each dish was a bit lacking & missing that "specialness" that had us returning for so many years. The service was not as attentive as it should have been & this was disappointing as well. Of course we will return but hoping the staff takes some of these comments & can bring back more special to detail.

The food was ok. The service was poor. The young women at the reception desk were rude and chewing gum. The ambiance was ridiculous. Very hard enjoying a meal with the presence of several screaming or crying very young children.

A terrific dinner and overall experience! Started upstairs at the bar for a terrific espresso martini by the bartender Jhon. He is a true professional. He recommended that we have dinner in the flambé room, which was a great recommendation. We first ordered escargot, which was perfect. Then their house-special Caesar salad, which was fantastic. I ordered another house-specialty, the pepper steak and that was cooked to perfection.They also make a fantastic old-fashioned. This was my first time at Euphemia Haye and it was absolutely worth it. Sorry I waited so long, but I will absolutely be back soon.

This place is a local gem Highly recommend for any special occasion! Make a reservation via OpenTable. Our 2nd visit to Euphemia Haye was just as lovely as the first! Maybe even more special since the staff went above & beyond to shower my MIL for her 60th birthday. (Shout out to our server, David). The food was exquisite & all 4 of us ordered a different dish: Key West Snapper Lamb Shank Peppered Steak Veal du Jour We were lucky to be seated in the back room where we had a nice view of the sous chef station (where the peppered steak topping and salads are prepared). And of course we ended the evening upstairs in the dessert loft. The birthday girl's prayers were answered when we learned there was fresh coconut cream pie in the bakery case. It's a simple touch, but you should absolutely order the French Press coffee if you have a chance- served in a personal coffee press. Every dessert was scrumptious as always.

The snail appetizer was watery and tasteless. The duck entrée was dry and the sauce was sour. The peppercorn steak and cocktails were good. The waiter was dismissive. Not worth $400! And there was a dog in the restaurant that clearly wasn't a service dog that the staff seem incapable of dealing with . And it just wasn't us. Several customers were upset about it as well. Simply put repaid with the tip $400 for a meal that was reported to be a five star restaurant however the restaurant was more like an outback restaurant.

This was our first visit to this restaurant. Everything was wonderful from the very charming atmosphere, to our server, and the absolutely delicious dinner. My husband and I both had the black grouper. Special with a sweet chili glaze. Absolutely superb! Caesar salad was one of the best as well! Wish we lived closer so we could go there on a regular basis, it is a gem!

Terrific food, great waiter, and great atmosphere. We went upstairs to the Haye loft after dinner for the most elegant desserts I have ever seen.

I ordered the steak Madagascar. The sauce was copious and rich but tasty. Unfortunately the meat itself was tasteless and so after two bites, I couldn't bring myself to eat any more of it. I explained to the waiter that it was not what I expected. He never offered to replace the dish. Unforgivable in a restaurant that claims to be "fine dining."

Stopped in for after dinner dessert and loved their banana cream pie! Love the 'old school' 1980's decor of the place. Really personable bar tenders upstairs. Highly recommend!

To be fair, the service and ambiance was great. Otherwise, I don't get it. After all the hype from friends and after reading all the 5 star reviews I had high expectations for an amazing dinner experience. I was totally disappointed. My wife and I shared a caesar salad, which was fine, with the exception that they charges us a $4 sharing charge. My wife order the pistachio crusted snapper which she loved. I ordered the pepper steak, huge mistake. The sauce over powered the dish and the steak was tough. I also did not like the pepper, for $59 I would have expected a top quality pice of steak. The mashed potatoes was the best thing I eat. We had a total of 2 well cocktails and the bill was $200, don't mine price for a quality meal. For me they missed the mark. OPOR

Wonderful restaurant Best Service & Food The upstairs for coffee and dessert or after dinner drink is amazing

Delicious desert offerings in a very peaceful location. We only had desert upstairs but look forward to trying this place for dinner sometime.

Not great. This is a place that has a long history they try hard but I just don't think it's very good compared to other options

Having enjoyed another phenomenal meal at Shore, Longboat, we thought stopping by here for dessert would be a treat. We called ahead since it is a small place and they graciously allowed us to stop by. What a time warp circa 1970?? or so.... It struck me as the type of place my grandparents would have thoroughly enjoyed back in the day. Sorry for the low rating but in reality, I go to restaurants to eat and service is a secondary benefit. We were quickly offered a view of the various dessert options on display upstairs. Service was prompt, desserts are $10 minimum and cocktails were $10 to 14 each. We were seated upstairs around the corner from the upstairs bar where I am guessing locals were have a great time. Not many options at this part of the key. Hubby chose the apple pie ala mode and I went with the server's recommendation for the chocolate strawberry layer cake. Although the portions were generous, both were rather tasteless. Quick taste, sip and go. Despite the fun retro atmosphere that included lights in the hanging planters, we will not return. Menu prices quite high and odd dated food options..at least in my opinion.

Only had dessert but what dessert it was... Visited in late August which I understand is the "slow season" . They were able to accommodate 8 of us without a wait for dessert and drinks. -Espresso martini....delicious -Bananas foster ...very good -Brownie sundae.... delicious -Warm pecan pie....amazing -coconut cake ...good -chocolate cake...good -chocolate cake with espresso frosting...good (All of the cakes were delicious but a smidge dry. Maybe due to refrigeration?? By no means we're they bad, I just prefer the sponge a bit more moist. A wonderful time! Very cozy with amazing ambiance for a relaxing, laughter filled evening with friends. We'll definitely be back! (I'm getting the pecan dessert next time!)

Love coming here! It's a stable for my family on LBK. Must order: Caesar salad, pate, fried tomatoes, the pepper steak, and the key west snapper. Plus most nights they have great specials too! They had a special the night with mashed potatoes and they were unreal (they added them to the regular menu). Bonus: after dinner go upstairs at haye loft for dessert and an after drink cocktail - bartenders Sam and J-hon feels like home - they're the best!

I had not been to Euphemia Haye for several years and was incredibly disappointed in my prix fixe meal tonight. I ordered the salad and requested blue cheese dressing, which the waitress advised was available. The salad arrived with no apparent dressing and a small a amount of Gorgonzola cheese. The shrimp scampi was oily, watery and had an overwhelming acidic taste. I asked the waitress to describe the brownie. There was no mention of ice cream. It arrived with a large scoop of ice cream. I'm not a fan of ice cream on brownies, but was able to push it aside. Was amazed to find a $10 upcharge for the Gorgonzola with no dressing on the salad as well as the ice cream. This was not a good experience and doubt that I will ever return.

Not to have your employees cussing continuously while having guests coming through the doors and sitting in the bar area. Employee continuously used the F word and N***r constantly. Makes having a nice dinner uncomfortable.

Everything about this place is just amazing! The service, the food and the dessert room upstairs...that is a must for anyone dining there!

Meh, sat in the Loft upstairs and ordered the moose Pate appetizer, eggplant parmesan, and a salad with chicken on it. None of it was great the eggplant Parmesan was extremely thick and tough. The pate was just ok. The salad was pedestrian. For the prices, it's a total rip-off. This used to be a special place but it has lost something. I would go back just for some cocktails, but the food is definitely not what it used to be. High prices, very mediocre food.

Best food in Sarasota! Interesting creative menu that's well executed. Desserts/bakery could use quite a bit of improvement in terms of flavor/complexity. Would love to see the desserts executed on the same level as the food. Pastry chef's skill level is def much sub par to food served

We had dinner for 2 at Euphemism Haye. We started with the mushroom soup (tonight's special - my spouse called it heavenly), the pate (fabulous) and the shrimp appetizer (pretty good). We had the pistachio snapper (absolutely super) and the duck (very yummy). Added the delicious cauliflower mash to the meal. We then moved upstairs for dessert and had the berries with whipped cream and the pistachio cheesecake - very very good. Not inexpensive at all but prices were appropriate. Staff was knowledgable and friendly. Unsure how some posted pictures show the water from the restaurant.

4.67 overall. 3 of us at Haye Loft for dessert and coffee. French press was good. Apple walnut crumble pie with ice cream was massive enough for 2 rated 4. Pistachio cheesecake a 5.0. Coconut custard pie a 5. We skipped dinner and made dessert the meal. It was a good decision. It had been a number of years since we'd been there. Under new ownership but the place was exactly the same. Upstairs bar menu looks interesting and it's first come first serve there along with a piano player.

Old fashioned FL restaurant Service was brusque and Not refined They have an established clientele that loves the place. IMO everything is overcooked and unrecognizable from natural state. Fish, shrimp and veggies. You can get that idea from the menu. The pepper steak, a dish they are known for, was very good, I just don't understand why people love that - the pepper taste does not come through. Fried green tomatoes were interesting ,- prob best part of the meal. Good sauce and unusual presentation We went upstairs for dessert, which has maybe 20 diff choices. No delicate hand here - butter, flour , sugar. Fruit taste did not come through in the cobbler. Not my thing. Might suit others

Very poor service, mediocre food, especially for the prices. We will not go back - ever!

Delicious! We didn't have reservations but the upstairs bar area was like stepping back in time. Everyone was very friendly and happy... like everyone, it's a vacation area so that might have something to do with it. We just had appetizers and drinks but left full and happy! The fried green tomatoes had a very subtle sweet and sour sauce that was delightful! Bar tender nailed my aperol spritz!

Great food and the desert room is worth the visit. The service is always good and the food is always hot. I love to stop and bring desert home even if we don't have dinner there. It's a beautiful cozy spot on LBK

Horrible experience with a cockroach! High expectations with the open table reviews and there website, left very very disappointed! Food was overcooked had the duck and pistachio crusted grouper. Presentation of the Duck was plain pecans and apricots thrown on top. Not a white linen worthy restaurant..Service was ok. Left after the cockroach climbed on top of the table onto my glass. So grossed out! Awful ick yuck! And it's sooo loud in there! Worst meal we had on our trip!My open table review hasn't been posted yet but oddly all my other restaurants reviews have posted, so wanted to get this on yelp incase they are hiding mine. Go to Sage SRQ or Dry Dock you won't be disappointed there!

Very poor service, waiter was not understandable. Threw silverware down on the table, which was dirty and not replaced. Ordered NY strip, medium rare, came out extremely rare a full of gristle. NOT a happy Mother's Day, will not return!

This is a real stalwart of a restaurant on LBK and a place I have been dining at as a kid and since relocating when I visit family. Food is great with classic dishes. Service is generally good... not Michelin level but the waiters care about your experience. The separate dessert room and bars add to the immersive evening feel of the place. Highly recommend!

A quaint, homey feeling little place with an incredible ambiance. From being greeted at the door with a friendly face to having beyond 5 star service from our wonder server Spencer. From his recommendations to his attentiveness he surpassed expectations. He was a pleasure to be around. Each and every food item I tasted was wonderful, surprising and delightful. Extensive wine list as well as full bar. For the finale, head upstairs for the dessert tour and single malt scotch bar. Again, cannot thank Spencer enough for the great service. Wonderful food. Wonderful atmosphere. We will most definitely return.

Lovely decor I felt in a traditional restaurant in France. You are greeted by your own owners and when you sit down the chef welcomes you or he comes in the middle of the dinner to ask you have you feel and that is very typical of sophisticated restaurants. About the food I don't have any complaints I only have good recommendations each plate was perfect too tasty. Same thing with the service kindly people, all recommendations were very very good. The wine list is pretty good and they have a lot wine from Europe (Spain, France). Dessert experience you have to pay the check and then go upstairs to see how many cakes they have! It's unbelievable upstairs!!! Was my second time here and I have nothing bad to say about this restaurant.

Arrived a few minutes early for my reservation and seated about 10 minutes later by a hostess who showed us to our table and simply dropped the menus. My mother and I sat for 17 minutes before anyone took our drink order...the bread did come right away. Two tables were seated after we were but received their drinks before our order was even taken. I ordered the Caesar salad and angel hair with shrimp, while my mother ordered the Cannelloni. When my salad arrived, one came for my mother as well- which was not ordered but added to the bill. Dinner arrived and my shrimp was completely overcooked, yet the waiter was nowhere to be found. I tried to get the attention of another waiter and busboy but only received "a look"; the Cannelloni was tasteless. We opted to leave after the main course. When leaving, the hostess was too engaged on her phone to say anything to us. I am not sure if this restaurant is under new ownership/management, but two years ago and prior, it was delicious...

Holy sugar coma. We just went for late night dessert and it was pretty packed upstairs. It's very cozy and dark up there especially by the bar and piano player. Great place for an intimate dinner or night cap/dessert. We had the Candy Corn Cake (as it was near Halloween) and it was just so moist and delicious. Lots to choose from. If you are driving from Sarasota - it's a bit of a haul out on LongBoat so might as well make a night of it. My only critique is the beer lines need to be cleaned out, the Stella tasted gross and I'm glad I didn't get sick from it. Anyway, great service and desserts. It's a nice place to end the evening.

After 30 plus years of enjoying this restaurant, we will never go back or recommend again. Service was slow. Food was cold lemon blueberry cake old and dry! Waitress gave us attitude after we politely let her know that our food had come out cold after waiting 40 minutes for it to arrive!

First and last time we will go to this restaurant. First off, they ran out of fish of the day 15 minutes after they opened for the evening dinner service. I ordered the duck, a dish I was told was their specialty. Well, it was overcooked and dry. The size of the portion was large but there is no excuse for overcooking it. Also, they don't give you any type of side dishes with the entrees, you have to order them separately ala carte. I tried the potato pancakes and they were decent. My wife had the sweetbreads which she could not eat because they were terrible. Tasted nothing like sweetbreads. After being extremely disappointed with dinner, we figured we'd go upstairs and try the desserts. It's hard to mess up desserts right? We tried the peanut butter mousse which was not good. Tasted like it had cream cheese in it. Cinnamon vanilla cake we had was actually very good. The other desserts looked decent. All-in-all, an expensive meal with subpar quality. There are so many better restaurants in Sarasota, so avoid this place.

Ran into this little gem on a Thursday night and it was way more than allright. Straight up Outta Site! Great food (pepper steak, ceasar, chicken Florentine and 3 kinds of pie, that's right 3 types Jack), pepper steak was the standout and old school dish, try it with jasmine rice and mix together with the sauce - you got to do it! All other dishes great as well. Had a nice red wine to mix with the meal and couldn't have been better. Service was proper and suberb. Our waiter had been working there for 45 years and gave us a little history on the area which was great. Went up the desert room after and shared a couple pieces of pie with my sweety and then took one home for later. Very cool end to the meal and awesome spot overall.

Ate there tonight with my wife, sister and brother in law and had the worst service we have ever had. We waited an hour after ordering before our appetizers came. It took longer for drinks to come. Then the second round did not come until AFTER our main courses, and then, only after we complained. We were then charged for things we did not receive. The things we did receive were dry and overcooked. When we brought the foregoing to the attention of the management, they were dismissive. It was terrible.

If you're over 90, you'll love this place. Menu from the 80s, weird service, sauces on every meal. It's such a bad restaurant I can't believe it's still so popular. After our dinner of dry but rubbery duck, fish drowning in pink sauce, and $15 salads with store bought croutons, we were ushered upstairs for dessert which is a whole new weird experience. The ambience upstairs is even weirder. This is not fine dining, not fine food. But the prices are insanely high. Avoid. Unless your grandparents are paying and you have no choice.

If you want to overpay for mediocre food this is the place to go. Have been there a few times hoping it would be better, but alas. The menu looks good but there are no flavors or taste in their food. The Shrimp Taj Mahal in particular looks and tastes like a curry that someone just plastered together without actually measuring ingredients (or reading a recipe). The last time it came out smelling "shrimpy" and caused me to breakouts on my face (no previous or since allergies btw). Complete let down for the exorbitant price of $42. The duck confit was also dry and served with a couple of slices of apple. Needed some sauce to balance the dry meat. The peppercorn steak was also exactly that. A medium cut of meat lathered with pepper for $55. They will offer to seat you upstairs for dessert. Great gimmick to turn tables for dinner, but dessert portions while huge we're also underwhelming. The chocolate cake couldn't be drier or more stale. At least it tasted so. The wine list is a similar story. The display of explicitly nude women "art" in the men's restroom is also somewhat questionable given the locale and clientele with families. So bottom line - they're trying to be a fine dining experience on LBK with a rustic feel and charging so, but not delivering on the experience or menu at all. Would advise against wasting your time and money at this establishment, as there are far better dining options available that offer superior quality and value.

Quite disappointing; had high expectations for this restaurant. The vibe and ambiance is nice but that's about it. I like that they start off with banana bread and warm bread. The service however sucks. And the food is not great. My potato pancakes were really good but other than that I'm very disappointed. My steak arrived undercooked and very rare so I sent it back and then it arrived burnt to the taste. Couldn't finish it. Mashed potatoes were okay. Server totally forgot my wine order when everyone else's arrived in a timely manner. Water service is good but they rush you to finish appetizers and entrees. Dessert was pretty good. I had the brownie. Won't be back.

Delicious food, incredible service, and the dessert bar was wonderful! This was our first time here but we'll be back!

Diane the upstairs manager/hostess was rude and dismissive to us when we asked to be moved to a bigger table (from a small four top to a larger 4 top). We did not even order dinner because the table was not even big enough for appetizers . On a positive note Billy B was very polite and attentive.

Excellent cuisine, superb Service was great, fresh catch with preparation was exquisite. Well above expectations!

Euphemia Haye has a lovely homely atmosphere, but it is overpriced. The food was delicious, but not worth the money. We went upstairs for the dessert bar, which was very fun. Not all of the desserts were special, but I would definitely go back for the triple berry pie. The espresso chocolate cake and banana cream pie were also good. I don't love the chocolate cake or coconut custard pie.

We have been visiting Longboat Key for nearly 15 years. We, my wife, I and the couple who own the timeshare where we stay, have a bunch of favorite restaurants on the island. So much so, we can't fit them all in during our week's stay. So during this past visit we met up with another couple who now live permanently to the island. They wanted to go to their favorite restaurant, Euphemia Haye. Now this place is walking distance from the timeshare, but we've avoided it in the past due to its notoriously higher prices. But, when in Rome.... Well the prices were a bit higher, but not ridiculously so. And we checked. Their steaks were within 5-10% of the other restaurant on the island. But, it was well worth it. The Caesar salad my wife and I shared, was both, big enough to share, and probably the best Caesar salad I've ever had! My roast duck was really superb, and my wife's filet mignon was super tender and flavorful. And the sides were right on point as well. Two of our table mates had the Peppered Steak, (which I think is their signature dish), and proclaimed it delicious. We ordered both a red and white wine (which may be where the pricey reputation comes from) to accompany our meal, and the service was attentive and professional. Everyone really enjoyed their dinners. All told, the check (pre-tip) came to just a smidge over $100 pp. Certainly not cheap, but I really believe the value was there, and I have no problem paying for value! So I guess we will have to stay a few extra nights next year, to get in all our favorite restaurants!
