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.

    This was the second time my wife and I at Farlow’s. Both the drinks, appetizers and entree were wonderful. We always enjoy well prepared seafood,

    I always enjoy my visit to Farlow’s. I drive 90 minutes to visit one of my favorite restaurants, not only is the food delicious but the atmosphere is just amazing, you will definitely want to go back for more. From the management and the servers you will be well taken care of. Compliments to all staff members especially the chef. ☘️

    We waited for 15-20 minutes for a server. Kaitlyn took our drink order then food order. We waited over an hour for food. My husbands Reuben had no kraut, I got 3 scallops on my salad. My brother in law ordered sweet potato fries and got regular. No slaw came on our plates. We saw our server once after our order about an hour later. I don’t think I’ll be back. Food way overpriced. Terrible service. Poor follow-up with our server all for $130!!! You need to do beater than that for us folks who live here full time!

    Very disappointed! Made reservations 2 weeks ago for out doors and they put us inside despite my objections. My 27 year old son was carded for a drink and forgot his wallet so no alcohol for him on my husbands 70th birthday. No treat offered after dinner for the birthday. Food is incredible but we won’t be back based on this evening….

    Farlows is the best restaurant in Englewood and Port Charlotte. Every wait staff is exceptional at taking care of their tables. I think our waiter was Richard and he was superb. The food portions are very generous. There is everything to like at Farlows. Cant’ wait to return. I highly recommend. Reservations important—it is crowded every single day.
