It was a wonderful experience between the beautiful interior, flavorful meals, great wine list ,sever Joe (Giuseppe) was very attentive along with sommelier pouring our wine.

“Inkawasi has became a favorite of ours. Every time we walked by since moving here a couple years ago we’d remind ourselves to try it. Once we did, we wish we went sooner! Always fresh, delicious & great gluten friendly options. After another amazing meal tonight I promised myself I’d write a review. Perfect meal from the sangria to a surf & turf special with the best fire roasted veggies & we shared the passion fruit pudding for dessert. And our server was amazing! Can’t say enough about it, we’ll be back soon!”

“My favorite place to eat shrimp 🍤 crabs 🦀 stone crabs steamed clam an oysters 🦪 I go there at least twice a month or more”

“We sat outside on their patio for Saturday brunch, we were eight plus a toddler. They had a great brunch menu in addition to the very French regular breakfast/lunch menu. Avocado toast, crepes, fried potatoes, side salads, mimosas, delicious coffees, Aperol spritz- all very good. The waiter was very helpful with the menu items and service was quick. Patio tables were moved around to accommodate our group size. No reservations, no wait either.”

“Michelangelo Pizzeria Cucina isn't just a restaurant; it's a heartfelt family. I feel so profoundly grateful to this incredible establishment for the love and kindness they showed my son, Finn, during his time with them. From the moment he started working there, he was welcomed with open arms by the owner, the manager, and the entire staff. They treated him like one of their own, fostering an environment filled with camaraderie and joy. Finn cherished every moment of his time at Michelangelo's, especially as he worked his way up to the “slices” position from bussing tables. At just 19 years old, he had been working since he was 16, and of all the places he joined, this was where he truly felt at home. Their generosity was boundless—they consistently provided us with free food on multiple occasions, and their warm-heartedness shone brightly during Finn’s Memorial Celebration at Bayside when they offered us free food to honor his memory. It was these selfless acts that made an indelible mark on our hearts, showcasing the kind of extraordinary people they are. I’ll never forget the evening of August 6th, just three days before Finn passed. I had the privilege of watching him work while enjoying dinner with my daughter. Sitting in the booth, I observed him taking orders, pulling pizzas in and out of the brick oven, and calling out orders with such grace. The way he juggled so many tasks with a smile on his face filled me with pride. I even managed to sneak in a few pictures, moments I will forever treasure. Thank you, Michelangelo Pizzeria Cucina, for being the supportive family Finn needed in a workplace. Your kindness, generosity, and community spirit have touched our lives deeply. We will always hold you close to our hearts. With heartfelt gratitude, Kyra, Luke and Family”

“Great food..... great staff......great atmosphere!!! If you have any food allergies, the wait staff is very well trained to ensure your needs are met. LOVE the smash burger-gluten free buns are available......the beet salad is divine!! Very ample dessert selections-including homemade ice cream!! You will not be disappointed!!”

“It was my first time. I dined with family & friends. My sister is a regular there. She recommended and took us there. It was excellent! Everyone was very happy with our choice.”

“I moved here about 2.5 years ago from New York and was SO thrilled to find 3 Natives. I love that they have delicious, nutritious, healthy food that is prepared quickly. Making sure I eat food to support my body so that it is energized, satiated, and strong is critical as a mom of 3. I have tried so many of the items on their menu and everything is 10/10! I LOVE their greek wrap - so delicious and the dressing that comes with it makes my mouth water just thinking about it. I am a New Yorker and their bagels are AMAZING and taste like true New York bagels- you have to try the everything bagel! I also love their smoothies- I highly recommend The Pump! I love the Nutella Crunch acai bowl. Honestly I haven't had anything I didn't love. The services is 10/10 as well. The food is prepared in less time than a drive thru BUT the quality is not even comparable- 3 Natives is beyond superior. They use fresh everything! The store is always maintained and spotless and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Every year, the teachers at my son's school request 3 Natives lunch as part of their teacher appreciation week (see pic) and for gift cards at Christmas. It has been 3 years and they can't get enough! And honestly, neither can I. You must try!”

“I love this Starbucks! I use this location all the time. I’m not usually a review person but this last time was so nice, I ordered a grande and they made it into a venti, with a cute note saying name twins on the cup! I thought I accidentally ordered a venti (which I do often lol) but upon looking at my order later, realized it was just a nice gesture they did and I wish I said thank you in person!!”

“Great coffee, great service, and they let me hang my art! :)”

“Heather, at the River Club Grill & Bar, served us the best buffalo wings this side of buffalo! They are really the best, in Sarasota/Bradenton! Meaty, saucy, and cooked perfectly! Do not change a thing 😊 The beef nachos were delicious too! Great service and affordable eats. Can't wait for our next visit!”

“prime rib special was delicious. reservations were at 6:15. it was so loud in the restaurant we couldn't talk to our friends at the table next time, I'm eating outside Then a couple came in with a southeastern guide dog who laid down by my leg I really didn't appreciate this since I am not a dog lover and it is an expensive place to eat.”

“I was at the University and Lockridge Rd. Location today around 1:00 pm. As soon as I walked in the door I noticed it smelled fresh and clean. I was immediately greeted with a smile and welcome by both employees. My smoothie was delicious as always with all my customizations made perfectly. The store was bright and clean and very relaxing. I noticed every person that came in was greeted and told they were appreciated. It was a very nice experience. Stephanie and Faith were a good team.”

“Amazing food, amazing service, amazing atmosphere, been on vacation in LWR for 21 days and eaten here 16 times 💪”

“Maddy, Maya and Jacob were all fantastic! Fresh salads, delicious fruit, amazing hospitality - a little slice of NJ here in FL. gotta love it! I know my kids and I do!”

“Excellent food and team! Friendly service.”

“This is a pizza place that's just down the street from where I live and these guys offered the best service and each time I go they welcomed me like family I got help last time by Jason and you can tell that he has so much passion for his customers and then tonight I got helped by a lady who can tell also has a strong passion for her customers making them feel very welcome this is the place I will definitely come back again”

“Stopped here on a whim yesterday with our 10 year old grandson. The smell of BBQ was amazing as you walked in the front door. We were greeted immediately by staff and found a table easily. Our server was friendly and attentive. The menu is large, and while it is often difficult for me to find things to eat, because I am vegan and gluten free...there was a beautiful salad available. My husband and grandson had the ribs, baked beans, Cole slaw and fries. They were very happy. The food, service and atmosphere were great. We will definitely be back again.”

“Everyone was very friendly and worked fast even during the busy morning rush. I didn’t know exactly what I wanted and the young man had an immediate suggestion served with a smile. Thank you.”

“Thank you, Grove, for a wonderful breakfast celebrating our friend! You graciously accommodated about 28 of us for an early Sunday morning brunch, and we truly appreciated the extra touches you provided for our group. The food was delicious, and Danielle did a fabulous job taking care of us and supporting her co-workers. Jennifer, the manager was very helpful! :)”
