“I wanted to be able to give a higher rating as the food, the location and overall vibe here is amazing. An art deco culinary experience in one of the most serene settings in Florida. However, the service staff, in particular our server was beyond terrible. A foul attitude and no professional server skills whatsoever. From the fact that she never asked my wife and I if we wanted another drink, to not giving us a kids menu even though we came with our 18 month old.The restaurant has a beautiful waterfront walkway and so my wife and I went to take pictures. Instead of understanding that this is common for guests to do, our server thought we were leaving entirely and chased us down. Why don’t toy worry if we have enough to drink or are ordering dessert instead of thinking we were just leaving.To the management, you need to address a cancer to your business with servers like this. Just terrible and if we’re do go back I worked refuse to be served by this amateur with a terrible attitude and no ability to understand what professional hospitality means.“

“Great mom and pop restaurant. Amazing home cooking and a quaint little place. If the weather is nice, you can sit out back on the patio and watch the kayakers fall in the basin. Do not leave without getting a cup of the soup of the day. Zesty cauliflower, beer cheese, and loaded baked potato are some of my favorites. This is where the locals eat.“

“Excellent dinner last night at Mar Vista. Sitting under the trees by the bay can’t be beat. You must try the gourmet tator tots to start. We had shrimp and grits and their fresh catch risotto. The seafood was cooked perfectly with great flavors on both. Our server, Hannah, was great!“
“There use to be an AMEX commercial that said "membership has its privileges " and the Longboat Key Club adheres to this mantra. The food and service at this restaurant are top shelf(4.5 stars) and the menu rotates. Mondays is Burger bonanza night with all the trimmings. All other nights the food is wonderful and the menu diverse. Daily lunches are served from about 11AM to 3PM.Unfortunately, you must be a member or resort guest to enjoy this establishment.“

“I was pleasantly surprised when I tried their delicious coffee, and asked for their brand. And the waiter told me it's COLOMBIAN COFFEE?. I ordered my normal breakfast, and another advantage was that I was able to walk from my resort to there. The guys are perfectly fluent in English, but I noticed different accents from Latinoamérica?“

“We have celebrated our anniversary dinner for the last 3 years and it never disappoints. My favorite dish is the snapper with key lime beurre blanc sauce. Amazing! Their caesar salad is one of the best also. Go upstairs for dessert for a special experience. You won't be disappointed!“

“I went to Circo for food and drinks with my friend's and had a great experience. Our bartender Nik was amazing and made me a jalapeño mango margarita and it was the BEST margarita I’ve ever had! I highly recommend anyone to come here if they’re looking for good drinks, food and amazing service.“

“Absolutely hands down one of the best meals I’ve had all year. Highly recommend the gnocchi, the raw scallop appetizer, and the tartine appetizer. And for the rest of my life, if someone asked me what I’d want for my last meal, I’d say “give me the gnocchi at Meliora”. I cannot emphasize how much it stood out despite everything else being so good already. On my first bite, I had to close my eyes and stop chewing so that I could comprehend how amazing it tasted and how light the texture was. Throw everything you’ve ever described as “pillowy” in the trash because this gnocchi should be the only thing in the dictionary under that word. While the drinks are pricey and the meal overall was higher than average for a night out, it is 100% worth it. We were swept off our feet.“

“We tried Tripletail for the first time and it did not disappoint. Our stunning server, Lily, was very attentive and knowledgeable. My husband tried a smoked bourbon and said it was very good, I had a tasty white sangria. We shared the shrimp and crab dip app. Our entrees were delicious. We had the tripletail, and we highly recommend this. I had the crab stuffed shrimp and they were equally as good. We highly recommend visiting Tripletail Seafood in Sarasota.“

“I can’t say enough good about Rosemary and Thyme! The food and drinks are wonderful, and the service is next level. From management to bartenders to servers- such positive interactions, attention to detail, and thoughtfulness. We always book on open table, and typically go for special occasions, and they’ve made it so special each time!“
“We found this little place on line and were missing our Greek places from back in NY. We picked a day that someone hit a power pole so no lights. That did not stop them from serving, all but the soda machine. Amazing Gyro and Chicken Slovakia. Our server was a sweetheart and made sure everyone was taken care. Best Pita we have had in a while!!!! Thank you for making lemonade of or lemons!!!!“

“First time diner here. Great food, great mix of flavors, and well prepared with large portions. Probably the best Trout Almandine I have ever had. It's may not be as well known as its next door neighbor, but the food and service to us are better at 481 Gourmet. Give it a try.“

“I gave Shore 4 stars for not for the food but for the atmosphere. It's a sexy cool spot in heart of St. Armand's Circle. The staff was friendly. We went at 2pm thinking we'd missed the lunch crowd. The place was still packed. We only had to wait 15-20 minutes though. Drinks were great, had the Bee Keeper, Barrel Aged Cocktail and Espresso Martini. Started with the Crispy Bao Buns. I got the Tuna Tartare as my entree, hubs had the Faroe Island Salmon, you can see by his empty plate (forgot to take a before pic) that he enjoyed it. The tuna tartare was fresh and light. I feel there is "always something" good, bad or indifferent when dining out. My "always something" for Shore was the crispy bao buns. I know it says it in the name but I think one of the great thing about bao buns is the pillowy goodness and these crispy ones just missed the mark for me. All in all Shore is a great place to go grab a bite while shopping St. Armands Circle.“

“Very very very good sandwiches! We had a Korean BBQ beef sandwich, a beef brisket burger and what felt like half a ton of sensational fries. Drinks are “refill”. The staff was very friendly and we received our food quickly. The places outside are also quite nice.“

“I took my nephew on a date to this incredible restaurant. We loved the atmosphere and all the lights. The food was the best I’ve had in Sarasota so far. The beef carpaccio was for sure the best I’ve ever had. I have been coming to the area for the last 22 years and I will definitely be back to this incredible restaurant.“

“I'm not vegan. In fact, I occasionally eat red meat. So I was a little skeptical when a friend suggested Lila. It was amazing! I had the Med Bowl and chose not to add a protein. Beautiful presentation and wonderful melding of flavors. The service was friendly, efficient, not rushed. The ambiance is upscale casual. I'll be back!“

“It was pretty good. The food was good, but it was not great considering the price. We spent $40 for two meals. One breakfast of eggs and bacon, nothing fancy. And I had the chicken wrap. We had waters to drink. The place was super busy, so the servers were really spread too thin. Maybe they were short-staffed? The portions were really big, so that was good. Although we didn't sit outside, it looked really nice! Good place for the snowbirds, but as a local, we have other top choices!“

“How does this place only have a 4.1 out of 5 rating, 4.8 MINIMUM!!! We come here three to four times a year every time we come on vacation in Sarasota and I’ve never had more of a consistently perfect meal anywhere. Prime rib is literally perfection. Professional waitstaff and excellent bartenders. Manager has always right before your meal has finished stopped at the table to make sure you’re happy. A+“

“Wonderful meal and fun atmosphere in the village part of Siesta Key. Friendly and attentive service. The mussels, short rib appetizer, garlic bread and salad were all great. The calamari were a bit overcooked and we weren't wild about the dipping sauces. But otherwise it was great.“
“We went with family while in Sarasota on vacation. The restaurant was not busy at all because the tourist season is starting to wind down which will last only about a month. Staff was friendly. The menu had some great choices. From fish to ribs to fried chicken. All were well prepared and not too salty. Everything came out hot. The specialty drinks were very good too with a good variety. A little pricier than some other restaurants on St. Armand’s circle, but not by much. I highly recommend this establishment for an excellent meal.“

“A nice little cafe with patio seating in downtown Sarasota. The ambiance is very nice with the restaurant's indoor and outdoor seating - you can people watch during the farmers market. Food quality is superb here. The breakfast bowl was delicious in every way. Service was efficient but not the absolute best. Prices are a little bit inflated for the offerings, but typical Sarasota fare nowadays.“

“Well this is our first time here but our captains been here several times since highly recommended. Arriving around 10 o'clock results in about a half hour wait that's a guesstimate there's six on the waitlist right now. But it moves quickly. My better half Peggy is browsing the menu Likes all the options if you can't find something then you need to go someplace else they have something for everybody. Menu has a variety of options. Will be back.“

“In plaza in downtown Palmetto next to Walmart. It is noisy but it is a sportsbar. Has games, darts, and pool. My husband and I usually sit at the bar and no matter how busy they get our service has always been superb! Food is delicious, and great selection of beer. Definitely do the garlic cheese curds! I like the burgers and Jaxx chicken sandwich as well. Reasonably priced for quality of food. I would prefer a leaf of lettuce rather than shredded but that is just my personal preference.Parking: depending on time of day or night parking can be a challenge but for the most part we always get a spot.Kid-friendliness: a few games for kids and it is loud so no worries bringing the kiddos“

“We had a great experience here at AMO! The hostess, Isabella, was welcoming and helpful from the start. Our server, Carlos, was top notch and made everyone's day with his humor and positivity. The food came out hot and fresh and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals! We had the tropical chicken bowl, the true north fish sandwich, fish tacos and a burger - it was all delicious. It was a great atmosphere with beautiful views of the water! Would highly reccomend.“

“What a nice hidden gem for Bradenton! Since moving out to rural southern Hillsborough County, we have longed for a higher-end restaurant experience. Our daughter turned us on to MJ's and, with high hopes, we set off to find this rather non-descript exterior tucked next to a convenience store just off SR64. Don’t let the exterior fool you. Inside, the food, service and ambiance exceeded our every expectation. Five of us sampled six different menu offerings and all of us were struck by the complex flavors a good kitchen can produce. A clearly well-experienced server, Mattie was knowledgeable about the entire menu, attentive to our needs -- but not to a fault -- and allowed us to proceed at our own pace. Can’t wait to return and try some more dishes!“

“A busy Saturday morning, at such a fantastic establishment, you can expect a wait, but it is well worth it. Hands down the best breakfast we've ever had, outside of my own kitchen! The brioche French toast was light and fluffy, the option to get real maple syrup is a perfect pairing. The apple wood smoked bacon is absolutely fantastic. Veggie omelette, was so delicious and full of veggies! The home fried potatoes are seasoned and cooked perfectly. My absolute favorite was the marble rye toast, the most delicious bread I've ever had. And our server Ken was great!“

“At first was not sure about this place, but after the food came I realized why this thing has a great review. Food is home style and amazing. Home made sausage has a slight hint of spice. I ordered the Brave and it was delicious.I love that it say No WiFi.You are here to eat and not do your computer work.“

“My wife and I decided to try this restaurant on Saint Armand's Cirlcle in Sarasota since it was pretty lively and had outside seating- both positives when trying to handle a 2 year old during dinner without being a major bother. Even though it was a busy weekday evening in the circle (which is standard there), we were seated quickly and easily, and the service was nice throughout.I ordered the grouper tacos, which were rather good, and accented well by the seet plantains and black beans. My wife got a salad, my daughter got mac and cheese and my son the chicken thumbs, and they all seemed happy with their choices. The price is unsurprisingly pretty high considering, though that's standard for the area. Overall, it was a nice stop and worth a look if spending some time on the busy circle.“

“We loved our anniversary meal where each dish provided a fantastic balance of flavors (pork belly, mushroom bisque, and 2 amazing burgers). The service was wonderful: from the hostess who happily reseated us to accommodate our preference for the quieter room, to our waitress Olivia's attention to detail. We enjoyed the entire evening and hope to make Indigenous an anniversary tradition.“

“Beautiful decor and ambiance embrace you at Sage restaurant. I was eyeing this place for months. Would it stand up to my expectations?Started out the evening on the rooftop bar with a fireplace. The bar was casual, mostly covered, and nice.Surrounded by family, lifelong friends, and new acquaintances, we celebrated my 50th birthday!When we walked into the restaurant, the "air" filled with beautiful music from a solo violinist. He played soulful modern tunes, which encapsulated the memories.The Thai Bouillabaisse and Porter house steak were a MUST! The porter house steak was HUGE. More than enough to feed two. My only wish was a side of risotto, less butter, and more vegetables. Otherwise, the steak was cooked to pure perfection.Honorable mentions were Seared Halibet with Wasabi Plumb Sauce and Yakisiba Noodles with grilled chicken.Thank you to the Sage restaurant for cooking up a wonderful 50th birthday ?“

“I like the sandwiches and hot meals they have but the aged steaks are far better quality than anything you will find at Publix.I’m not sure where the beef comes from but it’s next level. The sausages they offer are really good. (Italian brats hotdogs.) all very good. Great place. Scott I think is the owner and is a really kind gentleman.“

“Worth the hunt for this location, and don't let the outside dissuade you from grabbing lunch here. What is missing in outdoor ambience is made up for many times over inside. How many days can you say that your waitress is a member of the Wallenda family (yes, THAT Wallenda high wire family, and she still flies in the summer circus )!!! The menu is short, but made with love and really tasty. Hubby had the mushroom/bacon burger and I had the grilled Brie and raspberry sandwich (heavenly) served with a side of their homemade chips, which were crispy and delicious! Bob is the ringmaster of this restaurant, in charge of the Ringling circus car restoration efforts, chief story teller AND cook! He has a million stories that he loves to tell, having married into the circus family. Check the website for lunch hours and make the trip--the memorabilia alone is worth the trip, and the inexpensive, delicious lunch a bonus!“
