Clayton’s Siesta Grille
If you are looking for recommendations for a great restaurant, just ask the locals. People who live in the area will be the first to point out where they celebrate special occasions like Mother’s Day or Christmas when a beautiful meal is necessary to make the festivities complete. They will tell you that for date night, ambiance is key and a friendly and professional staff makes or breaks the mood. And, when a family just wants to unwind from a hectic week and leave all their cares behind, Siesta Key is known to calm the nerves and heighten the senses with Gulf winds and abundant sunny skies. For all of these reasons and more, Clayton’s Siesta Grille is on the tip of everyone’s tongue when asked, “What is your favorite restaurant?”
Since opening in 2004, Clayton’s has become the premiere dining destination on Siesta Key and in the surrounding Sarasota areas. Serving locally sourced, healthy foods with an upscale, beachy twist makes this restaurant a staple for locals and provides tourists with not just a fantastic meal but a true Siesta Key experience. And who doesn’t want that? With the best beaches in the world and reality stars to boot, people are starving for Siesta Key and Clayton’s is enriching their lives with amazing foods and tantalizing views. From macadamia nut-crusted grouper to brick oven pizza and perfectly prepared filet mignon, the choices are mouthwatering to say the least. And did you hear? You can spend the day on the boat with friends catching fresh seafood, bring it into Clayton’s and they will prepare it any way you desire. How is that for service? Leave the mess and fuss behind, because Clayton’s will serve your uber-fresh fish with truffle French fries or wild mushroom risotto as just a couple of the amazing side choices. When it is all done, save room for the bananas foster, okay?
As a member of the IBE family for many years, Clayton’s has enjoyed beneficial trades on many levels. Clayton’s accepts IBE payment on holidays and throughout the year, so many loyal customers have been made via IBE. They have been able to purchase a pool table, pavers, patio awnings and repairs to the restaurant thanks to IBE trades. For the past several years, Arlen has come by to change the air conditioning filters, thanks to IBE, and Terry’s Plumbing has taken care of maintenance issues in the restaurant. They use Absolute Payroll to ensure their human resource and deductions are taken care of in a timely manner and have used Dr. Larson for chiropractic and massage needs. Though in the restaurant business themselves, the owners of Clayton’s Siesta Grille also enjoy being patrons of neighboring restaurants like Ophelia’s and Off the Hook. There is nothing better than walking into a nice restaurant with a $100 IBE QR in your Barter Wallet to foot the bill.
If you live in Sarasota, chances are you have not only visited Clayton’s but it is likely your go-to establishment for an amazing meal and stellar scenery. With an impressive list of chef specials, your next night out can be this evening. After a hard day’s work, Clayton’s Siesta Grille will welcome you with a cold drink, an exquisite meal, and a friendly atmosphere to let you know you are valued. No wonder the locals cite Clayton’s as the best restaurant on or off the key.

We visited Clayton Siesta Grill on the recommendation of a friend. Could not be happier to have found this little place! We had the macadamia nut grouper, and the braised beef. Both were spectacular! Our waitress was super sweet and the manager even came out to ask us how our evening was. Five starsfrom start to finish… We will be back!

This place was the best restaurant we ate at our entire trip! The food was delicious including the fresh catch, short ribs, jerk chicken, key lime pie and chocolate torte. The owner Mavis is the sweetest lady you’ll meet and is so welcoming. Service was impeccable. Highly recommend stopping in!

I scheduled a dinner reservation on the same day as our fishing charter because I heard that Clayton’s offers a "cook your catch" service if you bring in your fish cleaned and cut. We had half of our catch fried and the other half blackened, and it was amazing! The chefs exceeded our expectations. It's a fantastic way to enjoy the fruits of your fishing trip. We will definitely be returning in the future.
