Island Flavor Meets Southern Comfort at Englewood’s Farlow’s on the Water

Farlow’s on the Water

Farlow’s on the Water isn’t just another restaurant; it’s one of a kind. Imagine Caribbean flavors, Southern comfort, and a lot of seafood, all on one menu. You’ll spot Southern Style Shrimp & Grits right next to Caribbean Seafood Delight, and then there’s the Martinique Cobia House Specialty, just to keep things interesting. This mix isn’t random. Keith Farlow brings the island tastes, Laurie Farlow brings a bit of Kentucky, and together, this husband and wife team has created something you won’t find anywhere else in Englewood, Florida.

Fresh Calamari

Keith grew up in St. Croix, surrounded by bold Caribbean flavors and the freshest seafood you can imagine. Laurie’s from Kentucky, and she knows her way around Southern classics. Put those two together, and you get a restaurant where the menu feels adventurous but still comforting.

Farlow’s is all about making people feel welcome, including your dog. The heated patio’s roomy, so bring your furry friend along. They do family meals too, but if you want a table, you’ll want to call ahead; this place fills up fast.

Tropical Mahi Mahi

When you want a standout meal in Englewood, this is the spot. The seafood’s always fresh, and there’s something for everyone. Regulars love starting with the fresh calamari—hand-cut, lightly breaded, and served with a house-made herb aioli. The Tropical Mahi Mahi is a favorite too, topped with a mango, red pepper, and pineapple chutney that’s all about the islands. And who can resist the Whole Fresh Fish? This dish is a showstopper.

And honestly, don’t skip dessert—the Kentucky Chocolate Pecan Pie à la mode, made with Maker’s Mark® Bourbon, is unforgettable. And to celebrate the season of love, check out Farlow’s special Valentine’s Drink Menu.

Whether you stop in for lunch or settle in for dinner, Farlow’s delivers a blend of Caribbean and Southern flavors you just don’t see every day. Dine inside or out, depending on your mood. You’ll find fresh fish, juicy steaks, and sides that go way beyond the basics. Great food, friendly service, and a relaxed vibe; people come back for a reason.

Keith and Laurie have poured everything into this place, and you can tell. They say it best themselves:

“Kick back and enjoy some of the best Caribbean-inspired dishes around. Keith grew up in St. Croix, surrounded by fresh seafood and vibrant island cooking. That love for Caribbean food is baked into every meal here. Laurie’s passion for Southern cuisine shines through, too—just try the Kentucky Hot Brown, corn pudding, or fried green tomatoes, and you’ll see what we mean.

Everything’s made fresh every day. The herbs? We pick them right from our own garden. Take a stroll, breathe in the scents of parsley, basil, and rosemary, and check out the boardwalk to see what’s happening.

Thanks for stopping by the Farlow’s on the Water website. We can’t wait to welcome you to our table.

Keith & Laurie Farlow”
