Looking For A Casual Restaurant In (or near) Englewood, FL
I'm flying to FL from CA to visit my mom on Mother's Day. We have that day covered but I'm looking for a nice but casual place to take her to lunch for her birthday on Monday. Maybe a nice walk on the beach to follow. Any suggestions? I'm sure dinner will be something simple at her home that evening as I am flying out of Tampa very early the next morning.

When my aunt and uncle lived on Englewood Beach we always met for lunch at Mad Sams which is right on the water by the bridge to the island. Decent food, nice atmosphere, great location. I really don't know of any others to compare with, but that was their favorite.

Ah, cousin Linda says the BEST place for lunch in the area, casual but good is Lock N Key on Manasota Key (Englewood Beach). You can call ahead for priority seating. It is directly across the road from the public beach on Manasota Key.
She also says Gulfview Grill is very nice, and more upscale, but only open for dinner?

Neopolitan, had a very nice lunch at Lock N Key with Mom on her birthday followed by a LONG walk on the beach. Thanks for the suggestion. We passed by the spot where Mad Sam's used to be and mom commented how everyone loved that place.
