By Lazy Lobster - Longboat Key
Thank you for your interest in our Private Dining Room at The Lazy Lobster. For Christmas Day and New Years Eve please click on "View all" to the right of Experiences. This warm, intimate space is ideal for celebrations and special gatherings, accommodating 12 to 16 guests. No Room Fee: We do not charge a private room fee. Minimum Guest Requirement: A minimum of 12 guests is required. If your party falls below this minimum, a surcharge of $25 per missing guest will apply. (e.g., a party of 9 would incur a $75 surcharge) Seating Times During season, the Private Dining Room operates on a two-seating schedule: First Seating: Guests are welcome to arrive anytime after opening until 4:30 PM Please note that the room must be vacated by 6:30 PM to allow us time to reset for the next group. Second Seating: Begins at 6:45 PM or later. We kindly ask that the timing of your gathering respects these transitions so we may continue to provide a comfortable and timely experience for all our guests.
Available Times
From November 24th through Mother's Day, Our Private Dining Room room may be reserved for any time after 4:00 PM. Any party booked for 7:15 PM or later is considered to have exclusive use of the room for the evening. Menu selections can be made in advance, or guests may order à la carte from our full dinner menu, available at lazylobsteroflongboat.com. We may adjust pricing due to inflation, but rest assured—we never charge more in the Private Dining Room than what’s listed on our regular menu. Please be aware that the room’s capacity is limited to 16 guests. If your group size increases beyond that—especially at the last minute—it is unlikely we’ll have an alternate space in the restaurant to accommodate your party. Early coordination helps ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for all. *Reservations may be made up to 90 days in advance.
