Following last year’s hurricanes, when all three Manasota Key Group restaurants and our Marina sustained heavy damage, we were overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support from across the country. Without our loyal staff, guests, and friends, the obstacles to recovery and reopening might have been insurmountable. You stood by our side, and we are forever grateful.
Around 2024 holidays, once the muck was cleared and rebuilding had begun, we launched a special offer: a discounted price on $100 worth of gift cards valid at Lock ‘N Key, SandBar Tiki & Grille, and Magnolias on the Bay. Even though our doors were still closed, you responded with resounding enthusiasm.
Orders gushed in from Florida to Alaska until all 50 states were represented. Seeing our nationwide community of locals, snowbirds, and vacationers rally around us was deeply moving. Your support reminded us that no matter how far away you are, you’re part of the Manasota Key family.
Here’s an update on each of our restaurants:
SandBar Tiki & Grille – The first to return, SandBar burst back onto the Manasota Key scene in February 2025 with live music, mouthwatering BBQ, and creative cocktails. The tiki vibes are better than ever. Come see for yourself! www.sandbartikigrille.com
Lock ‘N Key Restaurant – Just a few weeks later, Lock ‘N Key reopened its doors, and since then our amazing team has been knocking it out of the park serving up the coastal flavors and relaxed ambiance our guests love. Englewood, it’s good to be back! lockandkeyrestaurant.com
Magnolias on the Bay – We’re counting the days until we can welcome guests back to an even more refined experience at Magnolias. Soon you’ll be sipping fine wines and savoring chef-curated dishes in our newly enhanced setting. www.magnoliasonthebay.com
Every day, we count our blessings knowing we couldn’t have come this far without you!
As a token of our gratitude, we’re bringing back our Holiday Gift Card Special: Buy $100 in gift cards and receive a $25 bonus card, valid at any Manasota Key Group restaurant.
It’s our way of saying thank you, and the perfect way to share (or gift!) the Manasota Key vibes this holiday season.
From all of us at Lock ‘N Key, SandBar, and Magnolias: thank you for being part of our journey! Here’s to good food, great friends, and brighter days ahead on Manasota Key.
