About this restaurant

Great for outdoor dining
Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem

Relax and enjoy yourself as you savor some of the tastiest dishes the Caribbean has to offer. Growing up as a child in St. Croix, US Virgin Islands, I came to love the local cuisine and the abundance of fresh seafood on the island. Love of the Caribbean and its food have helped make this restaurant a reality. My wonderful wife, Laurie, has a passion for Southern cooking and you will find a splendid southern twist in the menu, such as the Kentucky Hot Brown, Corn Pudding and Fried Green Tomatoes.

All our food is made fresh daily. The herbs used in our delicious dishes are grown in our garden here at the restaurant. We invite you to tour the garden and allow your taste buds to be teased by the scent of parsley, basil and rosemary and walk our boardwalk to see what’s jumping.

Thank you for visiting the Farlow’s on the Water website. We hope you choose to visit our restaurant soon.

We have come here several times for special occasions. The ambience is beautiful and the staff is always so helpful and takes allergies into consideration. Unfortunately on our last visit, we were served a steak that was inedible. We brought it to the attention of our waiter and he took it back to get remade. He was very apologetic and the manager also came out and apologized. They remade the steak and made sure it was okay, but by the time it had come out the rest of our party had finished eating and it was time to leave. So I did not get a chance to actually enjoy my meal while I was there and it was brought home in a to-go box. Although the staff was apologetic, we were a little surprised that there was no adjustment to our bill to try to rectify the fact that one person in our party had to wait the entire visit to be served their meal. Especially when you are spending over $40 a dish and several hundred dollars on the entire bill, you do have certain expectations that your food is going to be held to a standard. This will not make us stop coming here in the future, but this specific visit was disappointing

My husband and I and our guest celebrated a birthday. Even though we have lived in Punta Gorda for many years, it was our first time at this restaurant. We had always heard great things. We know that they are very involved in the community and tourism. Our food was absolutely delicious. Service was great. Everything about the food was awesome. We sat indoors by the door which was a little warm. They have a beautiful terrace, but I would think twice about eating out there in the Florida summer months. Great job Farlow's! Knocked it out of the park and we WILL be back.

Smallest sweet potato I’ve ever seen. Fish was thin and over cooked. We told the mgr but he didn’t seem to care. Waitress slammed everything on the table instead of placing it.
