euphemia haye restaurant

expensive mediocre dinner. had heard great things about this restaurant, but afterdinnerlast night, was truly disappointed. the house wine was good, and the zucchini appetizer was outstanding. that's the end of the "good". the duck entre was dry, which i thought would be impossible with duck. my wife's filet was not at all seasoned and remarkably tasteless. the asparagus side was just ok. the make a big deal out of deserts served upstairs. the banana cream pie and the apple walnut pies were run-of-the-mill at best. for $220 fordinnerfor two, the meal should have blown our socks off. as i left the restaurant, i noticed i was still wearing mine.

not a place for touriest. while visiting the anne marie island attempted to havedinnerat euphemia haye restaurant. it is clearly a place for the locals only.
the staff was very rude, discourteous and put out by newcomers. i have travel a great deal throughout this country and have never been treated so poorly by staff simply because i was not a regular.

a bit high in price, i would reserve euphemia haye for a special occasion yet recommend you check it out at least once. ifdinneris out of the question, at least try the desserts offered in the loft

enjoyable for all. we really enjoy euphemia haye restaurant on longboat key. ourdinnerparty that was there just recently was comprised of all age groups, vegetarians, meat lovers - you name it. everyone was exceptionally pleased with their food. luckily we did have an oil executive at the table with us - the bill was high but the food was excellent!

i liked most everything about this restaurant. i took two potential clients here from bradenton because it was the best rayed around. longboat key is a bit of a drive but this was well worth it. we started with the pate' and escargot. both were fabulous. the pate was creamy and flavorful with an assortment of olives, capers, etc. with toast rounds. the escargot was in a garlic butter with mushrooms. while not necessarily great plating the snails were delicious. we ordered their two signature dishes; the pepper crusted steak and the duck. they cook the steak on a hot grill right in the dining area, nice touch. it was ina brandy citrus sauce, if i recall correctly. the steal was incredible. i thought that the peppered crust would be too much bit it was delightful. now, the one part i did not like; the duck. it was horribly dry and overcooked. the chef came by and asked how everything was and my guests were enjoying thiers so much, i took one for the team and dis not send it back. after your meal you are escorted upstairs to the haye loft for a selection of amazing desserts, coffees and afterdinnerdrinks. this was a great touch. we shared the peanut butter mousse pie with a meyers rum chocolate layer on top. just wow! the bad news is that i can only imagine how could the ten others might have been. despite the duck, i would not hesitate to reccommend and return.

it may be expensive, but in twenty years i've never had a less than wonderful meal at eh. and don't miss the haye loft, the room upstairs where you can choose from a limited menu ofdinneritems and/ or the best desserts ever. the key lime pie is tangy-sweet with real whipped cream on top--no fake stuff here! the apple crumb pie is piled with slender, succulent slices of apple that melt in your mouth. on longboat key, there is no equal.
