Deep Lagoon Seafood and Oyster House is the most recent addition to Waterside Place, a lakeside destination that showcases a range of international dining experiences. The “upscale casual” restaurant features inside and outside dining and bars, with boundless lake views.

Waterside Place invites visitors to immerse themselves in a dynamic experience that offers more waterfront dining and shopping than any other locale in Manatee and Sarasota counties, including more than 30 carefully curated retailers and restaurants.

Begin with a morning cup of coffee, join colleagues for a leisurely business lunch, gather friends and family for a carefree dinner, and stay to watch a brilliant sunset or for one of the numerous programmed activities while grabbing a drink and strolling the street. Combined with the abundance of shops, self-care and beauty options, you can spend a few hours or an entire day at Waterside Place.

This regional destination is also home to the weekly Farmers’ Market, recently ranked No. 1 in Florida for the second year in a row; the world’s largest recreational cornhole league, the monthly Sights and Sounds arts series and Movies in the Park, and Music on the Plaza on Friday and Saturday nights. 

Waterside Place takes the best of dining, shopping and arts districts and combines them into one inviting gathering place for the community that’s never the same place twice. Bring your dogs and your kids and let them enjoy the abundance of green space, playground and splash pad, and park, all connected by trails and nestled around beautiful Kingfisher Lake.

Opening soon will be Allswell brew pub, Italian market Eatalia, and Carved, a gourmet sandwich shop offering crafted sandwiches, salads, soups, bowls, and more, which will give diners even more choices for a bite on the go or a leisurely meal.
