“We met a friend here for brunch and thoroughly enjoyed it.The food was delicious and the service was excellent!!!We were able to sit and enjoy ourselves and our conversation without feeling rushed or being constantly interrupted.Being first-time visitors, we were given an order of the Biscuit Beignets ---- and they were fabulous! They would definitely be on our order the next time we visit.“
“This place is always great. I don't think there's a single thing on the menu I haven't thoroughly enjoyed.My last trip was a Monte Cristo sandwich and I love their spin on it.Super convenient place to swing in and grab a coffee & scone if you're in a rush too!“
“I was good, not excellent! But to be fair, the prices were not bad. But, beware they add 20% for a tip automatically. Which is not that bad, but they don’t make you aware, or at least if it was on the menu I didn’t see it. I would have not been happy if we received bad service, but I would say the service like the food, was good, but not excellent. Also, to be fair I have eaten at quite a few restaurants that made you feel like you were a rockstar, so I have a high bar to get a 5 star.“
“I recently moved to the Bradenton, Florida area and once I found out that there was a Skyline Chili nearby I had to go get me some of that wonderful Cincinnati Chili.It has been at least 8 years since I've walked into a Skyline Chili restaurant. They're pretty much the same since most of them feature memorable of the Cincinnati Reds and Bengals.The one in Lakewood Ranch looks like the typical modern day version of Skyline Chili(as a kid I would eat at the one downtown Hamilton, Ohio that looked like it was set in the 1940s).Parking: Shared parking in a shopping center.Kid-friendliness: I've been eating Skyline Chili since I was a kid in the early 1980's. So I know kids of all ages would enjoy eating Skyline.“
“We recently had my brothers funeral brunch there. Everything from the time we walked in the door was fantastic! Great service, beautiful setup. My family and friends loved the food! So much of it too.Staff was so kind and sincere during this heartbreaking time for our family.Highly recommend it for any occasion or just a great dinning experience.Thank you River Grille !“
“The food was amazing! We stopped here for lunch before noon on a Monday in March.We had a part of four and ordered the Bottomless Chips & Salsa with Beer Cheese. They hit the spot and we ended up getting a second round (for free, since it’s bottomless). The beer cheese really makes it special and was delicious.Everyone ordered something different for lunch. I ordered the Chop (salad) and really liked it. It had real bacon and the ranch dressing tasted awesome.My husband ordered the Triple Decker Turkey, my son got the Buffalo Chicken sandwich and my daughter got the Classic Burger. See photos. Everyone loved their meal. The fries were great!We really wanted to eat outside (honestly that never happens, but here the weather was beautiful). But, it was really windy and the sign outside blew over and it was just too windy for us, so we moved inside. The outside seating is plentiful and has a nice view.I counted tried to count the number of televisions, I got 15 but that might not be accurate. They have a lot of TV’s.This place had a great vibe.As far as service, we had to flag down the waitress a couple times, since she didn’t stop by and ask if we wanted more chips/salsa (you could see the beer cheese was gone and salsa was almost empty) and when we were ready for the check. I’d recommend letting the wait staff know that they should check back in more often. The place only had a few tables filled so it wasn’t super busy.We don’t live in Florida, but would definitely go back to this restaurant next time we visit and highly recommend.This restaurant is in a great location within Lakewood Ranch in the Main Street area.Parking: There are a few parking spots right out front or there is a parking lot that is walkable that has plenty of parking.“
“Fabulous meal! My new favorite steak place. Great for a date night or group gathering. After 7:00, the place turns into a delightful, energetic night time club in atmosphere. There's a piano bar with 2 singers. Very popular since several people couldn't get seats. Fantastic food and excellent service. No problem with parking. I would call this place a hidden gem in Lakewood ranch. Can't wait to go back!“
“We really enjoyed our first visit to Grove! I had the Seafood Cobb salad and my husband had the stuffed chicken and we loved them both. My husband had the smoked old fashioned and said it was one of the best he's had. We look forward to going back! Our waiter Tim was awesome!“
“Quisiera expresar mi gratitud hacia nuestro mesero ANDREI por su excelente servicio durante nuestra visita. Su atención fue impecable, siempre atento a nuestras necesidades y brindando recomendaciones acertadas. Su amabilidad y profesionalismo hicieron que nuestra experiencia fuera aún más placentera. ¡Gracias por hacer de nuestra comida una experiencia memorable!"“
“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.“
“Michael's on East (MOE) is one of the best fine dining establishments in Sarasota and has been in business for nearly 40 years. Ive been a customer for nearly 30 of those 40 years and despite its maturity, MOE is still hot, hopping and a crowd pleaser for those who enjoy great food, wines and service. During its nearly four decades, MOE has been wowing patrons with its fine cuisine, decor, and outstanding service. Don't be surprised if you see actors, comedians and musicians who might be performing at the Van Wezel during the winter season, sitting next to you because the concierge at their hotel recommended MOE as one of the desirable restaurants for a sensational meal, wine and service. MOE is rich in Sarasota heritage and is the perfect choice to celebrate a special occasion with that very special guest or guests. It's a delight in every way.“
“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.“
“Updated 3/30/24 with more photos.We visited my parents in Sarasota and this was our first time at Seasons 52. We loved it! The atmosphere was awesome, the food was great!I love their scallops, they are just perfect along with the risotto. On a more recent visit 3/24/24) they had asparagus with the Scallops instead of the broccoli.My parents love the Salmond salad, but my dad commented that on our most recent trip (3/24/24) that the salmon was a little dry.From 3/24/24, my husband said the lamb was good but a little chewy, he had to chew a lot.There is plenty of parking in the parking lot on either side of the mall.Parking: The Sarasota restaurant is located in a shopping mall, so there’s lots of free parking.“
“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.“
“Butterfields Family Restaurant is a beloved local eatery that exudes warmth and hospitality. From hearty breakfast classics to comforting homestyle dinners, each dish is made with love and care. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service make it the perfect spot for a casual meal with loved ones. Whether you're indulging in their fluffy pancakes or savoring their famous pot roast, Butterfields Family Restaurant promises a dining experience that feels like coming home.“
“Great food with a wide variety of foods and prices. Specialty drinks are very very good! I love coming to Baker & Wife. My partner and I love sitting at the bar and watching the mixologists create yummy concoctions, and watching the chefs create pizzas and focaccia in the wood fired oven. Very entertaining!“
“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+“
“This is definitely one of my new favorite restaurants! The food is amazing and they have tons of vegan and gluten free options. Best vegan sushi you can imagine and they have such a great variety of options in general. Shout out to our server Shayne - he was so kind, attentive and pleasant and really made our night. He made excellent recommendations and was really knowledgeable about the menu.“
“I placed the catering order and I had to pick it up today (Friday the 29th)Because they were not taking any more orders for Saturday that was no problem I decided to that I might as well eat while I was there as I arrived around 10:45 after waiting a while to be seated I fixed my first plate off the breakfast buffet. My waitress was not very friendly the first time around I just figured she was having a bad day, I've had dental work done so I could only eat a one side of my mouth and I also received a business call that I had to take I was slow eating and not even halfway through my meal the waitress set down the check I thought it was odd I didn't say anything, after I tried a couple of the breakfast items I went back and tried a couple more things on the breakfast buffet then I noticed that the lunch buffet was open so I had one piece of chicken a little bit of beef and noodles and about a bite of sauerkraut with two pieces of sausage. I returned to my table and the waitress walk by I asked her for a refill seem to be a bother to her keep in mind I was there Thursday night with my family who was some out of town eight of us and I eat there probably once every other week and I've never had an experience like the one I had today also keep in mind I was there to pick up $115 catering order. When she brought back my soda I gave her my credit card thinking okay she wants to turn the table as she returned I noticed she took off the breakfast buffet and charged me for the lunch buffet I would not have had a problem with this other than she should have said something I saw multiple people eating off both sides I wonder if their waitress that I hope was in a better mood than mine would inform them that they were paying for the lunch buffet not the practice granted it's only $5 but it is a principle of the thing in my book I felt like she thought I was trying to scam or something it made me feel uncomfortable. I was not only disappointed in her doing this but I was disappointed in the service. I do hope that this message gets reviewed and that you guys as a management team come up with a process to inform people that if they take one or two items off the lunch buffet they're getting charged I can afford it what about people who can't?I do have to say I didn't tip her because I felt the service was bad and I also felt that that extra $5 that she put on my bill what's her tip I wasn't trying to be rude or sarcastic but it did make a point. All in all a disappointing way to start my afternoon..I did pop my head into the office and make a very short statement that I was disappointed in her action and got a sides look from one of the people who were sitting at the desk and a small apology from a lady who was standing there..You may think wow why is he making such a big deal out of this the big deal was it was bad service she had an attitude I was very nice to her she should have pointed it out to me she made me feel cheap and she made me feel like I was scamming the restaurant over..I did pick up my catering order and believe it or not I actually had money to pay for it I don't know if she thought that I didn't have any money I'm not sure what she thought but I do know this the policy should be changed she should have said we're now on the lunch buffet and since you had two items on charging you for the lunch buffet..So this $5 difference between the breakfast and lunch buffet has left a terrible taste in my mouth and I will be hesitant to come back for a while.I hope this young lady learns to treat every guest like a welcome guest!Best regards.“

“First time here and greeted with a wonderful hostess named Heidi. She claims she’s the best…she was! Great recommendations and suggestions. Omlette was tasty but the real winner was the loaded hash browns!Dietary restrictions: Ask for the gluten free menu!“
“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!“
“We tried Vernona Gourmet - Authentic Hungarian Restaurant earlier this week and we were very impressed and happy with the whole experience. Definitely in the rotation now. I have a new favorite comfort food now too - chicken paprikash - yum!!“
“Arrived early and got a prime spot on the outdoor patio yesterday. The service is fast for how busy it is and the food is AMAZING! from the shrimp and grits, to the lemon blueberry pancakes to just coffee even...this is a must stop while in Siesta Key! Worth the wait!“
“We are Sarasota locals but never had the opportunity to have dinner at this restaurant. We have definitely been missing out.The atmosphere is amazing. Elegant but very comfortable. The food is amazing. We shared 2 plates. Great way to try different things. The service was above and beyond great. We felt spoiled.We will be returning soon.“
“Visited here with my friends today and we were greeted with Sarah as our server. She was absolutely wonderful and extremely attentive with us. She always made sure our drinks were filled and had an amazing personality. I will gladly be coming back here next time. Sarah truly gave us an experience of a lifetime.“
“We absolutely loved The Cottage! We unfortunately had to wait much longer than what we were told and they made up for it with flying colors. The manager bought us a round of drinks and appetizer - which were all out of this world! The food, service and atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for. Such a great and fun spot! The painkiller drink is 100/10!“
“Upon entering, the hostess were very kind and engaging, we were also seated right away which was great especially on a Friday night. Even though it was a bit busy we got our food in a timely matter and it was superb! One of the best pizzas in Sarasota. The manager Patty was great, she checked up on us to see how everything was going and we told her our server Katie and the service was outstanding. We would definitely come back with the whole family since we love craft beers!“
“We discovered the Shake Station because it was highlighted on WFLA and decided to take a ride down from Clearwater. We're so glad we did! What an excellent experience! There was about a 15-minute wait for a table, which gave us a chance to look at all the decor and check out what people were ordering. Once we were seated, our server came right over and took out drink orders and answered a few questions we had about the menu. She was very pleasant and did not rush us. We ordered the "hand dipped" shakes, and boy, were they good! So thick we had to use a spoon. For food we had the fish and chips basket and the foot long Philly cheese steak. Both were hot and delicious. Prices were reasonable and fair. We can't wait to go back!“
“Locally owned by good people, the service is outstanding, the food is consistently delicious and hot. Would recommend to anyone who asks and everyone I know! I would give them 6 stars if I could ?Kid-friendliness: Kid and pet friendly ? Seating is available inside and outside!“
“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.“
“Outstanding food and service! After living here full-time for nearly a year, we finally found a place with superb filet! While seafood is readily available, I have struggled to find a good steak or filet. We went here with friends, who all enjoyed their surf and turf, but the quality of the filet I had was good enough for me to write this review. A special thanks to Sean our server for making recommendations on both the food and the wine, outstanding! We will definitely be back!“
“My husband and I were visiting from Illinois and decided to try your restaurant. We were extremely happy with the food and service. Quinn was super nice and very knowledgeable about the menu. He deserves a raise!!!! Kathy & Robert Miller Peoria Il“
“We (my family) loved the meals we ate here recently- the availability of personal pizzas made sure all could be satisfied and explore whatever they wanted to taste. The mixed green salad was so fresh, cold and nicely dressed with a citrus vinaigrette! Liked that a chicken breast could be added for protein and that the sliced radishes, cucumbers and strawberries were artistically arranged and tasted wonderful... Our server, Cameron, was friendly, knowledgeable and made excellent suggestions. The setting was clean, cool and music was at a reasonable level. Staff members were kind and polite. Outside of restaurant was clean and parking more than adequate. Good experience!“
“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!“
“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“
“Amazing restaurant with excellent service and food! Service was great! Kyra, our waiter was the absolute best! Definitely recommend coming between 3-6 for half price apps and happy hour! Appetizers were amazing and very large portions for a great price!“
“everything is wonderful ! we had lunch there, ordered the Brussel sprouts(a must) the bao bao buns and the chicken Tikka also a goat cheese pie for dessert. every single thing was perfect ! our server Ethan was great, very attentive and knowledgeable about every item. ! will definitely go back !“
“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.“
“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!“
“You must go! Overall a truly enjoyable dining experience for our group of 6 from NYC, Boston and CT. The service is impeccable, atmosphere is casual and lovely, while the food is creative American fine dining, with whimsy, such as the Birthday cake ice cream for dessert. The local red snapper dish was the best seafood dish that 3 of our guests have ever had. Highly recommend the Pickled Peppers and such, Parmesan Beignets and the Berkshire Pork as well. The attention to detail and flavors for each dish is Michelin Star quality. We have dined at the finest restaurants in NYC. If we lived in Sarasota, we would go back to Indigenous over and over. You will not be disappointed. Can not recommend highly enough.“
“There are lots of tables and they sat people pretty far apart to keep everyone safe. There's a few tables outside too which is nice. We were very impressed. The staff wore masks and were very kind and of course the food was excellent.“
“My mom and I went to a late lunch for my 25th and our server Rob B. was incredible. The best server we’ve ever had! Definitely request him! We sat on the patio and enjoyed $10 bottomless mimosas, my mom had the purple cactus cocktail 10/10 stars for sure. We loved our brussel sprout appetizer, brisket burger, and burrata cheese and tomato’s. Service exceeded our expectations, food was phenomenal, and we can’t wait to come back.“
“I fully expected bar food when I arrived. I ended up being amazed. I got blackened chicken "Mediterranean style" with artichokes and spinach with black beans and rice and roasted vegetables. I could only eat most of it. In fact, if I had room for dessert I would have just saved my leftovers for that course.Also, Amanda was efficient and engaging. But the amazing thing is that it is obviously a great atmosphere when someone like Chris, who's not even your server engages with you when they pass your table.All great people, but without great management, it's hard for even the best people to be this amazing doing such a high paced and stressful job.Kudos.“
“We enjoy the food and service at The Tamiami Tap - and mostly appreciate the local, neighborhood spirit. Mark and his team make everyone welcome, whether it is a beautiful evening or the day after the hurricane… oh, and the nachos, sliders, pork sandwich, small little salad… and… and.. are great!“
“This place was fantastic. Husband is a meat eater and fish and chips afficianado and declared best fish and chips ever. I am vegetarian and had the buffalo cauliflower tacos. Amazing flavor and presentation. Lots of tables. Quick service. Highly recommend!“
“We had a truly amazing experience at Remy's. We had made a reservation for a group of "25" people that turned into about 32. The staff was incredibly efficient, effective, friendly, and skilled in managing a group of hungry boys and their parents, they rolled with it when we had lots of extra people, they could not have been nicer throughout, and it was an outstanding experience all around. And the food was excellent as well-- a whole bunch of people came back the next night on their own because the food was so good.In short, if you want to have a happy group of people, send them here :-)“
