If you're in the mood of fish, try the seared mahi fillet with celery root puree. It’s a hit and a favorite of many diners. Located at 29 N. Boulevard of the Presidents on St. Armands Circle, Cork is just above the Bottle Shop.

St. Armands’s has many popular restaurants, but Cork Restaurant is exceptional. Buy a bottle of great wine to enjoy at home from the Bottle Shop on your way back to your Longboat Key home! If you can’t get a table at Cork, try Columbia, Hemingway’s Retreat or the always popular Columbia Restaurant.
