Siesta Key Oyster Bar
Known by the locals as SKOB, the Siesta Key Oster Bar is a fun and relaxing place to enjoy great food in a casual environment. Of course, there are oysters raw on the half shell or steamed, but SKOB also has an extensive menu of other seafood delights. SKOB's flatbread pizzas are a must try and don't miss out on a grouper or mahi sandwich. Entrees like Shrimp and Scallop Skewers are hard to turn down. Siesta Key Oyster Bar is a favorite with locals and tourists alike not just for the food, but also the live music every night.

Javier's Restaurant and Wine Bar
Javier's Restaurant and Wine Bar serves authentic Peruvian food in an exotic and colorful location. Built to look like a typical Peruvian mountain cafe, filled with plants and flowers, Javier's is a local hot spot. The cuisine is likely unfamiliar to most, as Peruvian food is typical South American, but with an added spicy hot flair. Arroz con Pato is roast duck with cilantro risotto, but what makes this dish really zing is the red peppers. Lomo Saltado, beef tenderloin tips with garlic, onion, a red wine sauce and more spicy red peppers is tender and rich. Peruvian-style Surf and Turf, beef tenderloin and shrimp, with black beans and yuca frita is perfect for a Florida vacation, particularly if you finish off with a Key Lime Trifle. Chase it down with a Peruvian beer or a glass of fruity wine, and you have the perfect tropical meal.
