Lido Island Grill
is owned by a family who works together to create a casual atmosphere to eat and enjoy the company of your own family or friends. Lido Pavillion hosts Lido Island Grill in a beautiful spot on Lido Beach right in the heart of Sarasota. Island flavors take your palate worldwide with spices and foods fresh from the ocean. Try the blackened Mahi Reuben sandwich or Gulf grouper sandwich.
