Tarpon Lodge & Restaurant

Tarpon Lodge is a winding drive through Pine Island, getting there is part of the fun. Dining here gives you a glimpse into the so-called "old Florida," days gone by, where time slows down and superb service takes over. Bronzed Gulf shrimp, deconstructed bruschetta and blackened "fish bites" prepare the palate for the finer things yet to come. How fine? Try these on for size: pork tenderloin, freshly caught local fish of day, famous crab cakes and flavorful dishes for plant based diners. In addition to the outstanding fare, the lodge also delivers a friendly bar, an eclectic wine list and spectacular views of the water, especially at sunset.
