“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!“

“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 food really wasn't that great, but the service was and the atmosphere was pleasant as well. The manager was also pretty awesome. The best part was that we didn't meet the manager because of a complaint we met the manager because he was offering outstanding customer service to help his team. RESPECT!“

“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.“

“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).“

“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.“

“We had a great meal on the day after Thanksgiving. Abdullah was our waiter and he was the sweetest most helpful waiter we’ve ever had. We have 4 young kids and he took such good care of us.

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

“Great food and better at atmosphere!!! Burgers are best in town!“

“Good quality, low prices. Food is consistently fresh!“

“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!“

“Today was my 1st time at Culvers, I came to the one on Fruitville Rd in Sarasota, FL and I went to order on the drive thru, a young man greeted me and I told him this was my 1st time here and I didnt know what to order then he told me he could help me, I placed my order for a burger, fries and a drink. Went to pay and I saw the young man who took my order, Donovan was his name. I asked for a manager and I told him what a pleasant and great experience I had with Donovan. His customer service skills are phenomenal and management needed to know about it. We definitely need more people like Donovan to work in Customer Service.
Keep up the good work and the awesome attitude.
Thank you.
Alex.“
