“The food and service did not disappoint. My wife had the mahi tuna salad. It was excellent and crunchy as described on the menu I had scallops. They were perfectly cooked and very tender. Service was very good. Everything arrived timely hot, and the waiter did not hover have eaten at hundreds of restaurants and this is one of the better onesnot exceptionally expensive and in a mall but quite good food and service and I highly recommend.“

“We’ve had the pleasure of being served by Raymond several times, and every experience has been just as wonderful as the last. He has an incredible energy, a genuinely warm and friendly personality, and is always attentive to every detail. My husband and I have both commented on how much his presence alone makes our dinner more enjoyable. His energy is absolutely contagious, and his amazing, full-of-life laugh is truly unforgettable. He brings so much joy to the dining experience and has a special way of making guests feel welcome. Outstanding service is one thing, but his personality takes it to another level. He is truly a gem and a big reason we look forward to coming back!“

“We were out on a walk and O Bricks was recommended to us for a great dinner spot and it did NOT disappoint. The food was absolutely amazing, quick, fresh and delicious. Our service from Manny and Monique was even better!! Highly recommend, and we will definitely come back next time we are in the area.“

“Our experience was nothing short of exceptional! Matthew, our server, was great — he helped us put together a custom flatbread and made a point of flagging our gluten allergy to the chef so we didn’t have to stress about it. That flatbread ended up being the star of the night, loaded with flavor start to finish. For entrees, we both went with the filet mignon, and it came out cooked exactly right. We’ll definitely be back for dinner soon!“

“I tried SoFresh The other day for the first time and loved it. Fresh and healthy. This is my kind of eating. I’m so glad they are nearby because I will certainly be going back.“

“I live in Lakewood Ranch and for some reason most of the restaurants on Main Street do not appeal to me. My husband and I tried Remy's out last week and OH MY!!!! Excellent food and reasonable pricing. I am a picky eater and there are so many choices, and I truly expected the food to be average and to my Suprise the food is EXCELLENT. I highly recommend this if you have not tried it would be a great choice to do so. GREAT JOB!!!! That was Sunday and I have already gone back for seconds - It's Wednesday. Will be a new regular spot for lunch or dinner.“

“We went to the location on Gandy Boulevard today. We were just passing by and saw it so looked up the menu online. At this particular location there was a kiosk to order and no indoor seating. There was a taphouse next-door that had outdoor seating so we grabbed a drink and ate our food there. The portions were large and everything was absolutely delicious! I was delighted to find vegan options. Everything was well seasoned and very flavorful! We would definitely come back again!“

“On 08-03-2025 I ate at the Sonny's restaurant at 631 67th St Cir E in Bradenton, FL. This is a family-style BBQ restaurant with a very comfortable and welcoming ambiance. I arrived for dinner and was promptly seated. I had their Big Deal Turkey on a bun with fries, a side order of baked beans, and an unsweet tea. My food arrived in a timely manner and was cooked properly. It came exactly as I ordered it and was very tasty. A variety of sauces were available, and I selected the Sweet sauce. My server during my visit was Danielle. She was very efficient, kept my tea glass filled, and responded to any and all requests I had. I have had Danielle for a server several times before, and I consistently receive superior service from her. She is always friendly and courteous and takes a genuine interest in her customers, making sure that they have a positive dining experience. She is a credit and an asset to the business. I recommend this restaurant and will be returning there again to eat.“

“My husband and I recently had the pleasure if dining at Sophie’s, in Saks Fifth Avenue in Sarasota. What an amazing experience. The decor both inside and outside so chic. We had Matty as our waitress. She was spot on with top notch service and a wonderful personality. We started with a bread basket of assorted toppings, delicious. He had the Tai chicken. Well prepared and perfect with seasoning. I had on of the best burger ever. Cooked and seasoned perfectly at medium rare with tasty fries. The manager checked on us several times, a nice touch you don’t see anymore. If you happen to be in the area at the mall, I highly recommend this restaurant. You will not be disappointed.

The friendly atmosphere of the waitresses/waiters, good food and being surrounded by regular customers make us feel special and at home. We think Peach’s on Lockwood Ridge Road needs a new photo ad.

“A very pleasant surprise that we stumbled upon. We decided to drive back into IMG at the 53rd Street entrance. We found the Legacy hotel. That’s where we found the cozy Icon grill. It happened to be happy hour an appetizers were half off along with drink specials. The food was excellent and we have shared this special place with many friends. The atmosphere was a bit loud since it sits almost in the hotel lobby. The outside is quiet and beautiful, sitting on a small lagoon.“

“My wife and I came for dinner. The New Age Flatbread was AWESOME. Crust was amazing.. Shrimp Cocktail Great! and Osso Bucco was to die for! The meat fell off the bone and melted in you mouth. Kirby was our server and was just terrific.. She was friendly and very attentive.“

“As always, the experience was phenomenal. Atmosphere and people cheery and helpful. Food was absolutely amazing! We had the pineapple, upside down, pancake, an omelette, fruit salad, muffins, BLT sandwich, grits, peach, cobbler, and scrambled eggs. The fruit was fresh and delicious. Everything else was spot on delicious!

This particular restaurant was the first one that we had visited back 25 years ago and it is so amazing that we have talked about it ever since. When we came back down this time, we had to stop here.
In fact, it was so amazing the other time that we came that we always joke that’s where we want to go for our birthday dinner.“

She made amazing suggestions and she was also the bartender that made my drinks that were also wonderful.“

“Absolutely amazing experience today! Delicious food and cocktails! Thank you Danielle for exceptional service. You made my day“

“An Exquisite Culinary Gem — Worth Every Bite and Every Moment! Euphemia Haye is nothing short of a culinary treasure on Longboat Key — a rare combination of world-class cuisine, romantic ambiance, and impeccable service that turns a meal into a memory. Extraordinary doesn’t begin to cover it. 😊Every dish was prepared with intentionality, artistry, and flavors that sing. The peppered steak was cooked to perfection, bursting with bold seasoning and succulent texture. Even the salads were elevated: fresh, inventive, and beautifully plated. But wait until you ascend to the Haye Loft — a magical dessert and after-dinner cocktail lounge unlike anything we’ve experienced. We were dazzled by the live music, the cozy, retro-cool vibe, and of course… the legendary dessert bar. From the banana cream pie to the flourless chocolate torte, every sweet was handcrafted, decadent, and delightful. Service was flawless throughout. The staff were knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food and experience. They anticipated our needs before we even realized we had them — the mark of true hospitality excellence. Whether you’re celebrating something special or simply want to enjoy one of the finest dining experiences in Florida, Euphemia Haye is unmissable. It’s more than a restaurant — it’s a destination. And we’ll be returning every chance we get. Bravo to the entire team!🌟“

“Service was great. Taylor C was very friendly and took great care of us. Food was excellent!!!“
