“No Name” Oyster Bar Opens on Siesta Key

"No Name" Oyster Bar

This past weekend Siesta Village was crowded with vacation families, locals enjoying one of the first warm days in months and college Spring Breakers. Something else happened in the village this weekend that was a little more under the radar. The very soft, soft opening of what I’ve been calling the “No Name” Oyster Bar.

Wedged in between The Hub Baja Grill and Blu Smoke Island Grill is a new addition to the local Siesta dining and drinking scene. The building was most recently the rental office for the Tropical Breeze Resort. It was just transformed into a great casual place to meet for a drink.

Ultimately, it will be more bar than restaurant. When it’s fully up and running, they plan on serving a limited raw bar menu. That should include fresh oysters and clams as well as some steamed items. The details on their menu will be coming soon.

In the meantime, you can stop by for an ice cold beer and check out Siesta Village’s newest place to soak up some island lifestyle. The “No Name” Oyster Bar (I’m calling it that until something better comes along), should be a hit with locals and visitors alike. Oh, if you would like to suggest a “real” name, leave a comment here or drop us an email.

Freshly Shucked Oysters: Slurp Them Up!

Monday, November 16th, 2009

A full platter of freshly shucked oysters is a sight to behold. They can be elegantly displayed or thrown onto a beer tray with a bed of ice. No matter the presentation, oyster lovers will slurp down these culinary delights with glee. Here are a few examples of what the ocean or the gulf gives up for the benefit of the bivalve mollusc lovers out there.

These photos were taken at the Siesta Key Oyster Bar (SKOB), but, there are lots of places to eat great oysters here in Sarasota. You can also slurp down a few just down the street at the Daiquiri Deck Raw Bar.

There are three Sarasota/Bradenton area, Anna Maria Oyster Bar locations to choose from. Their Landside restaurant is located just north of the SRQ airport on North Tamiami Trail.

They offer a great menu of local seafood to tempt your taste buds. It’s also a comfortable family place, so it’s a great spot to take the kids for a meal. It’s stone crab season, so there’s a great reason to stop by. They also serve a good New England Clam Chowder. Be sure to give that a try.
