“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!"“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“Love this place. Great menu and food. Service is good and the atmosphere is really nice. A great place to take the family for a nice evening out. The billionaire burger and truffle fries are quite good and the Lobster Maki Roll is the best sushi I've ever had. A definite recommend when in Siesta Key!UPDATE: Came back 6 years later and it's still AWESOME! One of my favorite restaurant's, period! Had the Lobster Maki Roll again and truffle fries. We had 6 people in our group and everyone had great things to say. This is a must-go in Siesta Key!“
“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“

“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!“
“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!“
“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!“
“This was my first time here. Words can’t describe how amazing the Pulled Pork sandwich was. I ordered it with the Pimento Mac and Cheese, which was also out of this world!! I sat at the bar and Stephen was bartending and took great care of me. The service by was top notch. My glass was always full and he was super friendly. I can’t recommend this place enough and I would give them more than 5 stars if I could!!! Keep up the great work!! :-)“
“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 !“
“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!“
“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!“
“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!“
“Omg, go here, I'm not exaggerating, comment me back if I'm wrong. Ok my taste, do you ?, I went with BOWL: Kayla, they have two different once, I chose the one that is not the kayak Ceaser only cause I'm on restrictive diet aka losing weight,then I added Spinach, then topped with garbanzo beans, it's mild spicy but in a good way, then brousals, I added broccoli but they charge 2.70 for additional sides, protein I went with blackened chicken, all the avocado I can get(that's free ? and healthy), and all the additional sides tomato, and well you get the picture, finally I went with balsamic dressing, amazing, came out to 20.00 with tip at the most may have been two or three dollars less not exact on it but not over 20.00. And I got a free up of water and yes I got water, the soda/water machine is in the corner, a little hidden. Then before I left I refilled with water and mixed some soda as a sweeter, just because I love sweets. You will love this place. Also you can order online which is much faster and no stress about rushing to order cause the place can get full. Plenty of seating inside and outside place is very clean will be back and give it 5 stars easy would give ten if it were a star option“
“Surprisingly good old fashion. Great burger options and cobb bowl was tasty. Loved the fresh cut fries and the fried pickles with the jalapeno ranch. Great atmosphere to catch a game. Reasonably priced unlike most places here. Our server was super sweet and made great recommendations.“

“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!“
“Fabulous as always! We had a perfect quiet table (as I requested they accommodate if possible) and impeccable service by everyone, especially Mike. Everything was delicious and the special sous vide duck breast sandwich was amazing! Thank you for having such a special little place.“
“This is definitely a go to spot for dinner. They have a good variety and selection of food choices as well as some great beers on tap. The restaurant has high tops, bar area seating, booths and regular table heights for larger groups. Plenty of TVs all around to view your favorite sports programming. You know, the service and food are good because they are always busy. Their wings are cooked to order, which is rare as some other local restaurants blanch them then they just douse them in the type of flavor profile you want. The pizza is outstanding, and they make a great buffalo chicken salad. Start out with Howl at the Moon Fries! One of the great things about Wolves Head is the wait staff. They have some outstanding servers who make sure you have a great experience while you are there. Ian, Danny and Aubrey are best in class when it comes to Customer Service. The best Customer Service I've seen in a long time , if something is not right with the order one of the owners will come by or management staff to find out what occurred and then make sure you have what you need. You should really experience eating there.“
“This restaurant provides truly refined andexcellent food and is worthy of a "big city". The challenge is whether Sarasota is "big enough" and sufficiently sophisticated for it at this stage. Come on Sarasota, prove that you are up to this challenge, or is it to be burgers and pizza for you all for ever?“
“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 ?“
“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.“
“Always great food. This time we had the caprese board and burgers. My 9yr old daughter loved the blackberry fojito and ate almost her whole burger. Our server was great and we finished with the lava cake. It is always a bit loud, but still great atmosphere.“
“We enjoyed an early dinner at Stonewood Grill last night and had an amazing experience! Wonderful food and drinks! Salmon and Chocolate Bread Pudding is very tasty and delicious! The service was excellent! Staff was very friendly and attentive to our needs, especially our server Bethany and manager Julio. We will definitely be back!“
“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!“
“It's okay. Kinda like a step up from fast food. Nothing really noteworthy about the menu. One thing that was so weird....a robot brought our food to the table....yes, I said robot. The robot was rude....he said "take your food" (No please???) That means someone from the table has to stand up and serve all of the meals. It just keep getting closer and closer to fast food. You need a food runner.....seriously! #Weird“

“We absolutely love FOOD+BEER SRQ Rosemary District. Dom the manager is absolutely awesome especially leading his staff to success! Kat by far is OUR favorite we specifically go and see her at least 2/3 times a week. Her energy is contagious she is a huge asset to this company 100%. If your looking for great food friendly servers and a fantastic atmosphere support our local friends here at FOOD+BEER! - Sarasota Salvage“
“We stopped in for what was supposed to be a quick drink before heading out to celebrate St Patrick’s Day and ended up staying a couple of hours. Managed to get seats at the bar and were served by a very talented and entertaining bartender. Love the atmosphere. We definitely will be back, next time to try brunch with bottomless mimosas!“
“Husband and I had dinner here for the first time. Got the island hopper burger (thousand island dressing on it) and he got the slawstone sandwich. (Pulled pork, Gouda, and slaw) Both our meals were very good. The fried cheese curds were awesome and we couldn’t stop eating them. Zach the server was just excellent.“
“Lovely little place. I've been driving past it for quite a while and finally had a chance to stop. I wish I wouldn't have waited so long. Great ambiance and the service is outstanding. Had the burger and tots and they were excellent. Good selection of drinks. Plan to make this my regular stop. Take the time and check them out. Not your typical restaurant or bar, nice and relaxing. I really enjoyed it.“
“Geckos is always our place to go for a quick, casual meal. The service is terrific and the menu is extensive. The food quality is very very good. I love their burgers and their tuna poke bowl. They have great salads and pasta and tacos and quesadillas. Their fish sandwiches are good too. My husband loves their tuna crunch wrap. It's a big portion and we sometimes share it.The restaurant is always busy but we rarely have to wait for a table more than 10 minutes. Geckos is a sports bar and they have TVs everywhere.Give it a try!“
“It is the best food. Grew up going here and still drive 13 hours to go at least 2 times in a weekend best flame broiled chicken best pitas. Best gyros 32 years of eating here the families that run this place are like family to me. Planning a trip soon.“
“My girlfriends and I had a wonderful dinner at Made. The service was great and the food was so good. We started with the cornbread appetizer. The cornbread was light and fluffy with a great flavor. Our meals varied from the taco salad to the ribeye special of the day. Everything was delicious. We will definitely be going back.“

“An early dinner outside on the patio admiring the beauty of nature all around us! Picture perfect! Food was excellent. Generous and perfectly cooked salmon topped a fresh Caesar salad. Lovely triggerfish on spinach and rice, yummy cocktails and hummus appetizer. We enjoyed the entire experience.“
“Excellent location to watch the sunset and we had the most kind and attentive server. We shared the Greek Salad and both had the Open Blue Cobia which was hearty and absolutely delicious. Mine was on the butternut squash risotto. The two paired together was perfection.“
“Camilo took amazing care of me at the bar. Had a great chicken pasta. Really enjoy the hotel and the staff. I’ve stayed here a few times and the same people are here each time, which is a good sign in my opinion. Quality place to eat and rest!“
“Looking for the ideal spot to kick back and relax? Look no further! Whether you prefer cozying up indoors, basking outdoors, or sipping a drink by the bar, this place has it all. We indulged in their delectable tuna tataki, Avocado egg rolls, and the unique rock shrimp & blue crab lollipops — the tuna tataki was a definite win for me. To heighten the experience, we sampled an array of martinis and cocktails. The grilled pineapple caipirinha stood out, and the Texas Paloma didn't lag far behind either. Don't miss their Happy Hour— they offer an all-day option on certain days, but it's exclusive to the bar area. Make sure to check their schedule for Happy Hour deals!“
“Meadows village pub it's bob it's a great little hidden place, Great atmosphere, a lot of fun and the food you can tell it's a freshly made . This is my third Time with my friends, all the dishes were great. Awesome, awesome muscles in wine garlic sauce.Great burgers and the salads to die for.“
“Had dinner there last night. We started with cocktails and a crab cake stack and it was delicious. For entrees, I had the grouper and it was fresh, perfectly cooked, beautifully presented and absolutely incredible. My friend had the Roast duck and it was the best duck I have ever eaten.(I was the fortunate beneficiary of her limited appetite)I am an outdoorsman and I am considered to be a pretty good cook myself, and I have cooked a lot of duck on my own but never duck this delicious. Another wonderful dinner at EnRich. Thanks Rich (P.S. - I saw the other guys review about masks and I want to thank you for having your employees wear masks.“
“We have been going to Peach's for years as a family, and we love the reliability of knowing what to expect when we spend so much just to eat nowadays! Although our experience today wasn't a 5 star experience, I have to share about an exceptional server (tall male with glasses), who always goes above and beyond the call of duty to ensure guests are taken care of and needs are met. He always seems happy to help even when we are not sitting in his section. We were not seated in his section today, but our server was swamped, and this extraordinary human didn't think twice about bringing us our food and then responded to all our other requests and did so without making us feel unwelcome or inconvenient to him. I wish we could have tipped him because he was the all-star! I hope the servers that go above and beyond are recognized and appreciated! Because of him, we will be back!! Thanks to Peach's for finding the gems that keep people coming back!“
“We always have a decent meal here. What is the best, is the service! People open doors when you walk in and out (who does that anymore)?! Love it. Servers are always so nice and on top of things. Our last visit, I believe Patrick took care of us and we didn't ever want for anything. He came by often and had a great personality.“
“Excellent service during Friday night dinner. Our waitress, Danielle, was friendly and provided fast service. Their sweet tea is THE BEST! We got loaded tots as an appetizer and they were so good! My pulled pork and baby back ribs were awesome, and both my girls enjoyed their kid's meals. Good place for the whole family and inexpensive.“
“Our waitress Gretchen was fabulous!!! They were super busy and under staffed and she handled it with a great friendly attitude!!! We were patient and ordered drinks and appetizers and just waited for the crowds to clear out and had a nice relaxing dinner. The wings and Ribs were excellent the sliced brisket was a little dry and not much flavor.“
“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 :-)“
