“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!🌟“

“Andrei! Was an absolutely fantastic waiter. So attentive too! The food was delicious from the French fries and salad to the pizza and pasta. A great experience! A special birthday donut with candles was delivered to our table as well. Highly recommend! Andrei made it more enjoyable too.“

“We had dinner last night and can’t stop talking about how much we enjoyed the food and service! We were celebrating my husband’s birthday and the host treated us to prosecco while we waited for our table. The filet, the halibut, the lobster tails, the desserts (especially the chocolate cake!) was all absolutely delicious!! Our server was wonderful as well! Very personable and had great menu recommendations. We will be back!!“

“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.“

“Our favorite restaurant when we come to Siesta Key. Had dinner last night, my husband had the skirt steak, I had the pork tenderloin..Both were perfection. Be sure to make a reservation.“

“Really great food and portion sizes. Menu is 90% Ⓥ and has meat and dairy options for some reason, too. They swear they separate grills ect for meat vs veg prep. It’s in A swank part of Rosemary District in downtown Sarasota. Very active street with lots of cafes and restaurants nearby. Really liked their kale Cesar salad!“

“Having an stellar sandwich and excellent coleslaw, a must try if you are downtown SRQ.“

“Great casual fare. We shared the delicious recommended Shrimpy fondue and followed with their dry rub ribs (The best in a long time) and a Cap'n Shannen's Pineapple Boat filled to the brim with deliciousness. A very friendly staff and 5 stars to our server Missy. Her recommendations were right on! The service she provided was top notch!“

“Our server, Amber, was knowledgeable, professional and put the “S” in service. She made our time very enjoyable.“

“Station 400 is hands down my favorite breakfast spot in Sarasota. The food is always fresh and delicious with fun twists on the classics. It has that Cheers vibe—friendly, cozy, and family owned, so you always feel welcome. Megan and Austin are awesome servers and make every visit even better. If you want great food and a place that feels like home, this is it! Try the Lemon Curd & Fresh Blackberry Pancakes and Blood Orange Mimosa.“

“The food was great and the atmosphere top notch! However, our waiter seemed new and waited 20 minutes between coming back to our table. Coffee refill, 20 minutes. Second English muffin, 20 minutes before I could order. Check after knowing we were finished, 20 minutes. Luckily we weren’t in a huge hurry, but if it would have been busy, I can’t imagine how long it’d take. Overall though, we will be back for the great food.“

“A wonderful experience. Great atmosphere and food.“

“The unique setting of a train car decorated with lots of memorabilia from both stage & circus, offer a one of a kind dining experience. Kudos!“

“Wonderful dinner experience as usual. The food, drinks and service was terrific. There were 6 of us...2 had the Chateaubriand, 2 had the Chicken Francais and 2 had the short ribs. All of our meals were amazing including the salads and desserts. The ambience is chic, warm and so inviting. And unlike so many other restaurants on the island, this one takes reservations! Definitely one of the best dining experiences on the island!“

“best Cuban sandwich around. fry sauce and Brussels are obscenely good. I've literally never had a bad meal here. Sometimes, we drive over on a random weekday and grab takeout for dinner. They've also perfected the sweet tea. 😋“

“evoq restaurant in the Westin was great! We only had breakfast, but if their lunch and dinner is anything like their breakfast, you probably won't be disappointed. The food is delicious, prepared with great detail and generous portions. If you're staying at the Westin, no need to look any further than evoq for your morning start. We ate breakfast here both mornings and all meals were excellent! We had the classic eggs benedict, the quinoa power bowl, the banana Foster's French toast, and the ham and cheese omelette with braised pork belly and tavern ham. Perfectly done! Tables available street side. It was a bit noisy but manageable.“

“Found this restaurant by accident. It was really good. Mike and Quin are a dynamic duo. They made our experience so much fun.“

“This place had THE BEST bagel breakfast sandwiches! Fresh and REAL ingredients and the owner and staff were amazing! We will definitely frequent this place a few times whenever we’re blessed to be on the island. They made you feel like old friends, like we were locals. We talked about it the whole way to the airport. Thanks Jackie for the wonderful send off! Curious George and Jenn.“

“The Riverhouse Waterfront Restaurant setting is spectacular. It is located at a gorgeous marina. The food is excellent and the staff are very attentive and friendly. There is inside and outside seating. They have a few tables that are built around a fire pit.“
