“We had a fabulous anniversary dinner there! The food was excellent, staff very attentive. Highly recommend for a lovely dinner with a view of the Gulf. Looking forward to dining there again!“

“Absolutely the BEST ice cream around. As a family we drive an hour nearly every week to eat Jake's ice cream...YES, it's that good! Incredibly kind owner and staff as well, this place is a must visit if in the Sarasota area (and beyond!) Once you've tasted Jake's ice cream it's hard to ever eat anything else, he's raising the standards for homemade ice cream with every flavor - although we all have our favorites we've never tried one we didn't like!! (My personal favorite is Salty Turtle)“

“There are several good coffee places in Sarasota, but this one is the best. The friendly warm couple who run this shop treat you like family, and offer a non-sugar, non-artificial vanilla ice coffee that competitors do not offer.“

“Visited for the first time. Delicious breakfast, friendly hostess, fabulous service (shout out to Jeanette). Not sure why I’ve never been there, but will definitely return! 💟“

“Real Chicagoans know the real deal. This is it!!!“

“We’ve been getting our Cuban coffee, empanadas and Cuban sandwiches. Do not miss an opportunity to meet this delightful family! Charleen treats you as though you are a guest in her kitchen. A unique and incredible experience. Great sandwiches to grab at Osprey Marina if you are going boating in your own vessel or hire a charter! No hurricane damage…she’s open for business!“

“What a delightful ice cream find right here in Osprey Florida. Service with a smile and a delicious product. We're introducing our friends to this treat and the Janey's beautiful smile as she crafts each rolled treat. Try this, you won't regret it ;)“

“Great tasting coffee based ice cream, yummy 🍦“

“Our go to every year. The best fish tacos anywhere“

“Don't be fooled by the location...this place has the best Cuban food in Southern Florida! The chef/owner really knows her flavoring, and was so friendly and helpful. We traveled more than 2 hours to get to this spot for lunch, and it was worth it. I'd make that drive any day!“

“I rarely leave reviews for places but this place is sooooo good! Definitely try it!“

“Fantastically delicious! This place knows how to test your tastebuds♥️“

“Best French pastries in town along with they're fabulous double espressos. Their dog friendly. Love this place. We have always been greeted with a smile from the owner along with his son“

“Hands down, the best key lime pie in the state! My SWFL family has been going to the Keys at least once a year for the past 40 years & we've tried countless different key lime pies from Sarasota to Key West in search of the best one. There are some great pies in the Keys, but still none of them top Flo's in Sarasota. Her pies are just next level! We love it so much that we buy a key lime pie from Flo's and take it to the keys every year ? The whole family looks forward to it. Every layer of this pie is so good on its own - the key limey whipped cream, the perfectly sweet/tart filling, & the homemade graham cracker crust - but all together, it's to die for. I would buy barrels of each individual layer if I could, and just die happy in a key lime coma. It really is the best pie in the state, plus there are a ton of other pies & truffles & desserts she offers. I highly recommend checking out Flo's!“

“Shelby was our server and did a great job. Also the breakfast menu and many options and our food was very good!!“

“All the workers helpful for it being our first time here. Sliced the meat for the sandwiches in front of us. Prices can’t be better! Can’t recommend this place enough!
I’d like to add a very demanding woman with a lot of attitude was after us, and the workers handled her perfectly and diffused the situation and had her leaving happy! It was impressive to watch!“

“Ashly or i think that was her name was a great server“

“Quality of food. Life long member of the owners from Adrian Michigan. I don’t understand when I read comments as for “not authentic Mexican ingredients”. Does the sign not say “Tex-Mex”? In Adrian Michigan we have a large migrant population that prefers other Mexican restaurants over the grasshopper. Huge reason is that the taste buds of visiting Mexicans are used to hot, very hot. As I live here in Mexico I cannot sample any hot sauce because it’s too hot. So I bring my own hot sauce with me when I eat out. I don’t consider the menu as Tex Mex. The family founders brought recipes from Mexico but again, had to tone down the spicy seasoning for the northerners. HOWEVER, if you ask for the extra hot seasoning, they will make you a dishes that will set your mouth on fire upon request. I can’t explain the next topic, but that no one has complained but their menu prices that seem to never increase. As for the cheese dipping sauce? I haven’t been to the Sarasota location. But it’s a wise-tail in Adrian that the cook staff has to sign NDA’s just to know the recipe. Everyone has tried to replicate it but no one has ever gotten it correct. Linda/co-owner has been a lifelong full-time employee that worked every day beside her now ex husband that runs and operates the original Adrian Michigan establishment where his parents created the restaurant. She only hires the best staff and the staff are lifelong dedicated employees. In Adrian, no one visits for the decorations or environment because it’s nothing close to impressive, they visit for the food and service and the staff that brings you refills before knowing that you need one.“

“I love Skillets. Try the Bacon Avacado Skillet with egg whites and a multigrain pancakes! 🥞“

“Very welcoming as soon as u walk in, friendly staff, quant and cozi. I got the bruschetta, very good!!! Then a large sized garden salad which was good, then the capellini with maranara sauce and sausage and all wonderful!! I didnt feel rushed and my food came out as I finished one meal and not all at once, the pasta was not watery like most places and sausage was so good!! Not to mention the background music was great 😊“

“Ophelia’s is our favorite for a special dinner. Food is excellent, view is beautiful and the service is exceptional. Have never been disappointed. Menu changes daily and the options are top notch. Highly recommend!“

“While all servers here are excellent, we adore when we get Mikey as our server. His memory is wild and his service is always perfect. He anticipates our needs before we even realize we have them. Always pleased when we get seated in section. This place always has amazing service and wonderful food. One of our favorite places.“

“I will be back . Yummy everything“

“Had lunch there on 2/18/25. Had the lasagna, presentation was great with fresh basil on top, plenty of meat and sauce. served the way my Nonni would serve it in a big bowl. Bread was fresh and had a nice texture with some crunch. Service was great with such a large party inside.“

“Wait time was very quick“

“Always a great experience when visiting Parlor. Wonderful staff, clean environment and very delicious.“

“Waited at least 20 minutes for a table outside. They were crowded as usual. Waited 5 minues for Jennifer to bring us coffee and water. She said she'd be right back for order. 15 minutes later others were seated, and actually served. Our waitress rook the order fir a couple who had just been seated and then took ours. I complained to the hostess who took off our coffees. The waitress apologized for serving the other couple first. She didn't understand that we had waited an additional 20 minutes to PLACE our order. I never complain, I've been wait staff. The wait staff there has always been fabulous until today. She is clueless.“

“The food here is delicious!! 🙌🏽👌🏾😊 I had the Super Deluxe grilled cheese sandwich and the tomato soup….soooo yummy!“

“the grilled fish sandwich with regular tartar sauce, fries and mushy peas. everything was wonderful“

“Very bubbly and professional staff. Food was excellent. Will be back again.“

“I came in on Tuesday for an early lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the cute atmosphere and friendly staff. The food was amazing and tasted as good as it looked. I love that they have both indoor and outdoor seating. The girls that worked there helped me pick a great açaí bowl and checked in to see if I was enjoying it. The place was really clean and felt very relaxing.“

“Great wine. Beautiful people. good service and good entertainment.“

“Just one of those places that tugs on the past“
