“Came From Ohio. to eat with the mother in law. I bring down every year.. 1st time here Excellent. Food and service.... And Drink are on point“

“Went in today and.. wow!!!! Our waitress Emma was absolutely amazing. Our food was beyond good. Those green fried tomatoes were probably the best we've had! Mom's steak and cheese bowl was so good with plenty of meat. My prime rib sandwich was to die for. No lie. The actual best sandwich I've ever had. Sweet potato fries made perfectly. Clam chowder bowls were good. Not a fan of the bacon in them.. but still good!! Both of us being from Cape .. a good chowder is the place to be. Thanks for the amazing service, great conversation, and some of the best food!! We will definitely be back!“

“Casey Key Fish House was a fantastic stop during our Florida vacation! Everything we ordered was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor!

We started with the coconut shrimp and conch fritters, both of which were excellent! The coconut shrimp had a perfectly crispy coating and paired wonderfully with the dipping sauce. The conch fritters were cooked beautifully and had great flavor. My only small suggestion would be to serve them with a traditional Calypso or island-style dipping sauce instead of the sauce provided. I think that would really take them to the next level!

For dinner, I ordered the grouper, while my wife went with the red snapper special. Both dishes were absolutely delicious! What we appreciated most was how fresh, healthy, and light everything tasted. The fish was prepared beautifully, the vegetables complemented the meals perfectly, and nothing felt overly heavy or greasy. It was the kind of meal that leaves you feeling satisfied without feeling stuffed!

Overall, Casey Key Fish House delivered exactly what we were hoping for: fresh seafood, great flavors, and a laid-back Florida atmosphere. Definitely a place worth stopping at, and somewhere we’d happily return to on our next trip!“

“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!“

“Very attentive service, great outdoor seating, tasty menu with so many good options to pick from. Grouper catch of the day (blackened per server recommendation) added the scallop enhancement and sweet potato fries was phenomenal with a refreshing cucumber spritz mocktail“

“Love the food and the service“

“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).“

“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!“

“Great value and good food👍“

“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 family ate here multiple times on vacation! Food is delicious and service is friendly, fast and efficient. We miss it already!“

“Great food, great people.“

“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!“

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

“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 place! Nice & clean.“

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

“Food is good. I'd give it 5 stars but we have amazing places in Sarasota with extensive menu's. I like a good burger and theirs is simple and hearty. The atmosphere is old sarasota and I love the vibe. Service we had was from someone who most likely has years of experience because she was on point and non-intrusive. She read my mind on being a diet coke addict and had another glass ready for me before I finished my first one and made an assertive recommendation when I asked. Thats a win for me! What I assume was owner came by and greated us briefly to check in and didn't say anything more than how we were doing. Its similar to the look and feel of Siesta Key Oyster Bar. There is a great looking bar, good beach bar ambiance (not by the beach) and a stage for live music.“

“Great weekly specials, terrific service , and friendly atmosphere. Food is great and always. Wide variety. It has become the favorite breakfast spot ! Highly recommend .“

“Stopped into Duff’s Famous Wings on Clark Road and had a great experience! We sat at the bar, and April was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. The salad was fresh, the wings were outstanding, and it’s easy to see why they’re famous. Great food, excellent service, and a fun atmosphere. We’ll be back!“

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

“Fantastic Food, Well Prepared, Always Fresh, Always Delicious Fantastic Gracious Owners we have become great friends with! If you live in this part of Florida This Should Be Your Top Choice!“

“Absolutely love the place friendly people great environment. We go down every February and it is one of my must stops when I’m their!!“

“We came back and this time came for breakfast Delicious! Loved that they had fresh fruit -including berries -instead of potatoes as an option! Also the homemade jam was awesome Omelettes were delicious Friendly and attentive staff ! Def a place to come !“

“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.“

“This place is just amazing!“

“I will be back . Yummy everything“

“Jordan was our server last night and he was excellent. We were celebrating our 29th wedding anniversary. This is our second time eating here and it is our favorite seafood restaurant. From the cocktails that we drank to the lobster bisque and then we had grouper bites and lobster bites for appetizers. For dinner, my husband and I both had the seafood linguine with different sauces and it was good . The only thing I will mention is that the last time we ate there, my husband had the seafood linguine, and it was a lot different than what we had last night. The first time my husband had the seafood linguine, It was much more bigger shrimp and you could tell the seafood was a little bit more presentable. Whereas last night you could tell it was not as fresh, but I still give it five stars because everything was fantastic. I did not eat this last night but the last time I ate there, I had their grouper with the citrus sauce on it and that is the BEST I’ve ever had it. I highly recommend.!! We will be back again.“

“Came to this establishment after having a long day was seated quickly and had Emma as our waitress Emma was wonderful, she was very attentive and gave really good recommendations overall very happy with the experience an professionalism Emma provided! Keep up the good work and we shall see you next time!“

“Sage never disappoints and we love how the chef always loves to change it up. Not only is the inside beautiful but phenomenal rooftop bar. And the wait staff are always top notch.“

“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.“

“This restaurant is ABSOLUTELY amazing!! The food is soooo good (and original) and the service is top notch. 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!!“

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

“Friendly family fun :) tasty southern diner style restaurant“

“Absolutely delicious food! Very pleasant and efficient wait staff. We used the Savor Sarasota menu, and it was impressive with options of sauces and choices. Wonderful experience. We ate in the comfort controlled temperature, outdoor covered patio. Very pleasant, and lovely, even on a very hot day.“

“Best place to have a meal on the island! Amazing ownership & staff!“

“Muy buenooooo Excelente atención“

“Our server and the chef were phenomenal and took very good care of us! We were celebrating our son’s 15th birthday. He has multiple food allergies and doesn’t often get to eat at restaurants. They assured him his dinner would be safe. And everything was perfectly cooked and delicious! We are very grateful!“

“Their food is really good! We eat there every week. The one exception is their Skillets Potatoes - they're usually undercooked, then topped with green onions and broiled until the green onions are burned. Every Single Time. Come on, Corporate, Pay Attention!“

“Cod & chips to go was done perfectly, just like in the UK. They even have Heinz malt vinegar.
We’ve been to several higher-end sitdown restaurants in the area who have fish and chips on the menu and this is definitely the best we’ve had here.“

“Fabulous food...best in the village! Fabulous service and location...can't say enough! 5 out of 5 stars..Beau our server rocked!!!“

“Love this place. Great live music.“

“We dined here a few days ago, and WOW, the food was amazing! I had the maple-glazed salmon with sweet potatoes, and it was absolutely delicious. I was equally impressed by our server, Kara. She truly went above and beyond. When I asked if the brownies had nuts, since I do not care for them, she made a point to ask if I had a peanut allergy to make sure I would be safe. It showed a level of care that you rarely see. The owner also stopped by our table to greet us, which was a very nice personal touch. Between the excellent service, the quality of the food, and the owner's presence, this restaurant creates a wonderful dining experience. We will definitely be returning again and again!“
