“Came for a dinner on Wednesday and had a great time. Sat on the rail near the water and watched the local fish swimming bye. Very casual and inviting atmosphere. We both had the blackened grouper sandwich which were hot and fresh, and the fries were great as well. I can't remember our waiters name but he was really friendly and attentive. We will be back.“

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

“The Point did not disappoint!!! We had our rehearsal dinner and sip & see welcome party at The Point and cannot express how fantastic of an evening it was. The food, the service, the staff, the atmosphere were all incredible! I recommend having any event at The Point without reservation! Thank you!“

“Absolutely love it here… The pasta, sauces, and dressings are all homemade. The pizza with their homemade dough is phenomenal… which also comes in a gluten-free option, for those of you… My favorite thing about this whole place is the server and manager, Johnathin. He brings a personal and enjoyable experience every time. 10 out of 10 I highly recommend.“

“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.“

“Amazing spot for large groups! We hosted a networking happy hour here for a group of 50! The service, atmosphere, drinks & food couldn't have been better!! Thank you Jason, Troy, Dana & bartending gals for your wonderful hospitality! Everything about your venue was a hit! Thank YOU!“

“I love to share my food experience with other people, as local guide I write reviews and share photos of the best restaurants, bakeries, pizzerias and cafés I have tried during my world trips. I travel a lot and it allows me to try many places in US and abroad. Especially I love to try vegetarian dishes, even I’m not 100%, but only about 80% vegetarian. Surprisedly I found this very nice place almost next to my house in Sarasota. It’s not so easy to find restaurant with a very good sushi, colorful and 100% vegan in such small town like Sarasota. If you’re looking for a phenomenal not only vegetarian lunch or dining experience, look no further than LILA. Their menu is a culinary masterpiece, offering an incredible selection of dishes that cater to diverse tastes and preferences. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is friendly and attentive, making every visit a true pleasure. I’ve dined at Lila several times and have never been disappointed – it’s truly a must-visit destination for any food lover (not only vegetarian).“

“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.“

“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!“

“Nice bar atmosphere, with friendly service. The wings are good and they have good cocktails with beer if you want. The real star is the cheese steak. This thing is good. The wings are good, don't get me wrong, but I can not get enough of the cheese steak. They have plenty of seating and we have never had to wait even though it has always been pretty full of people. The bathroom has all of these pictures of famous people eating duffs wings, it's funny. I really like this place, I wish they were closer, but I don't mind the drive.“

“Great food and ambience. Very professional and courteous staff. The Ribs and Salmon were both amazing!“

“Great Italuan waitress. Best salmon!!!“

“Today, Saturday the 2ns of May was the first time I visited any of these Restaurants. So I read all the negative responses of other customers. I had quite the opposite findings. 1. It was lunch and not dinner but there was no waiting for a table for 5. 2. We had a student waiter and his coach that were very attentive. 3. The first thing I asked for was Unsweetened Ice Tea and they had it. 4. I had heard about their meatballs being so great, and they were great but small. 5. It was the best Spaghetti sauce I've ever had in a Restaurant. Most are under cooked, this one wasn't.. Being raised in an Italian family, this is the only one I would come back for. 6. The Wife had a Salad and enjoyed it with enough to take home. 7. The food came out in 15 minutes flat. The drinks were immediate. 8. The Men's room decor was perfect and clean.. While others had bad service and other problems, we had excellent service and good food.“

“Love the atmosphere! visit every time I'm in town.“

“my husband and I went to Abby's today, Sunday May 19th. This was our 1st visit and we will be back. Out server was awesome and friendly as all the staff were. Great and food and price. We sat outside which has a nice breeze.“

Food was good. Prices were fair and view was fantastic.“

From the beautiful smile and warmth that we were greeted to by Marilyn, to the friendly and phenomenal service by Lauren, and to the wonderful conversation and love exuding from the owner Suzanne…this place is a GEM. We were so blessed to come here for Easter brunch. Looking forward to (ALWAYS) coming back in the future!!“

“I’ve been to this restaurant a good few times and will definitely come back. The atmosphere of restaurant is a classy, yet coastal feel. Everything is kept clean as well. There is also a nice waiting area by the front desk as well if waiting for a table. I have gotten the Al Forno dish and it is very good. Staff is very friendly and willing to help with any questions!“
