“Great food and great service. Chef Joseph came out to greet us and talked to us about his special risotto preparation. It was nothing short of fantastic!“

“Best service imaginable from the extremely beautiful Marin! Her smile brightens the entire restaurant! I believe she serves and bartends, so go give her a visit! Best chicken tenders in the area, and the salmon bowl changed my life. So delicious! Great atmosphere with plenty of TVs for the sports junkie in the family, but the place is not centered around the TVs. Certainly worth a visit for anyone in the area!“

“Wonderful experience last night the the starters to the main course to desert was all absolutely delicious 😋 will definitely return. Staff was wonderful too .“

“We are from Tampa and came to Sarasota just for a couple of days to celebrate Valentine’s. Andrei!!! the waitress was awesome, he knew the menu and was able to recommend different alternatives, food was delicious and service was great, definitely coming back. My husband and I did not have a reservation but we were able to wait for a table at the bar which was also good 😊“

“Having only ordered delivery once so far, I will be back! Incredible size and everything was so fresh! Delicious too.“

“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.“

“Der Dutchman in Sarasota is a gem. The food is hearty, fresh, and consistently delicious — especially the fried chicken and homemade pies. The buffet is always well stocked, and the bakery items are worth taking home. Staff are friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere feels warm and family-oriented. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a traditional Amish-style meal in Sarasota.“

“Great Italuan waitress. Best salmon!!!“

“First time here , Attentive Staff ,Food was presented well and Tasty,The only complaint was it was a chilly / windy day and they would not close the doors, when asked because they said people would think they were closed.“

“Beautiful romantic upscale place is nearly all vegan with a few options for carnivores. This worked out well for my friend and me, and she loved all the things we tried. I have got to attempt making rice tots. Great wine list too. We liked it so much that we did a delivery a few days later, and it was amazingly fast. Very creative sushi. And we took home the blueberry cheesecake, so decadent. What a lovely downtown Sarasota has.“

“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👍“

“Been coming here for years. Usually sit at the bar, tended most nights by Kelly. She’s always smiling, knows her drinks & will take good care of you. Mondays from 5:30 to 8:30 you’ll hear the whiskey-voiced singer-pianist Joe Thayer, who plays jazz standards, soft & classic rock, and a few pop tunes. Food’s excellent…lots of choices & a few daily specials—which sometimes go fast. Can get busy during the season…best to reserve in advance. Great place for holidays if you don’t want to cook!“

“Walk into this Gem of a wine bar on the island of Venice and experience wines from Italy, France, Spain. Paired with exquisite food made by the owner Carmel. Enjoy charcuterie boards, pairing dinners, and some exquisite desserts. Excellent restaurant and highly recommended.“

The Drift at Lido Beach Club continues to set the bar for exceptional service and consistently delicious food.

I was trying to book a New Year’s Eve reservation online and everything showed as unavailable. A bit desperate, I called in and was warmly greeted by Patrice at the front desk. She could hear the concern in my voice and immediately went above and beyond. When I learned the restaurant was very popular and that I would need to leave a voicemail, Patrice took it upon herself to help — she kindly texted me her information so I could share my request directly.

Two days later, I received an unexpected call from Patrice letting me know she personally passed my information along to Dejon, the restaurant manager. That alone exceeded expectations — and then, just a few hours later, I received confirmation of our New Year’s Eve dinner reservation. I was thrilled.

We stayed on Lido Beach for two months last year and are excited to return for three months this year. Whether it’s breakfast or dinner, The Drift never disappoints. While we enjoyed great food throughout the area, The Drift truly stood out as one of the most consistent and delicious restaurants we visited.

The level of service says it all — Patrice’s care and follow-through, and Dejon’s professionalism, are perfect examples of what makes this place so special. We can’t wait to return, enjoy many more meals this winter, and continue making memories here.

Thank you Patrice and Dejon for truly going above and beyond, and for the leadership at Opal properties…their commitment to service starts at the top! highly recommend Opal properties all along the east coast (From the Wentworth Hotel in Newcastle, New Hampshire to the West Coast in Florida!).“

“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.“

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

“What an enjoyable night. The risotto was outstanding. Very busy and a little noisy but our server Traci made the night so fun and and enjoyable. Her attentiveness was outstanding“

“Best martinis ever….Stop by and see Henry!“

“Outstanding! In the hospitality industry, the objective is to create a pleasant experience for the patron. Food or service is just a tool to do that. Each transaction may be small $$, but the pleasant experience will generate return visits. A shout out to Brandy and Tiffany, as well as the others. Well-staffed. Attentive. Reasonable prices. This place is the model of how to do it right!“

“Very nice people, and the food is always great! My only minor complaint is that their toast is bread out of a bag. Good bread would make a big difference. I love Peach’s!“

“we are at the new location in Wesley Chapel, it's our first time here and I have to say the food was awesome the service was wonderful and the manager chris of this location and sever kyliegh was extremely nice. we will be back“

“The food is good. When you want Sonny’s you always know what you’re going to get. So consistent. The service is always great.“

“Bricks BBQ in Sarasota was an unforgettable dining experience! From the moment we walked in, we felt warmly welcomed by our waitress, Sasha. She was incredibly sweet, with a bubbly personality that made us feel right at home. Her recommendations were spot-on, and thanks to her, we had an amazing meal! The food was outstanding—true BBQ perfection. To top it all off, Carmen Forte Music set the perfect atmosphere with some fantastic live music. This place is a gem in Sarasota, and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!“

“Love this place. Great live music.“

“Fun place to eat. Very convenient, and delicious food.“

“Hotel food is usually not that great. However, we ate lunch here a couple times and it was really good food. I had a burger and a turkey sandwich with fries. The burger was juicy and the turkey sandwich was flavorful. I would definitely eat here again for convenience during meetings at the hotel.

The staff is friendly. However, getting service was slow even when they weren’t busy.“

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

“Everything was perfect. Food was delicious and our server (Rebecca) made us feel welcome and answered any questions we had.“

“Overall our stay was not bad . I just wish when booking they would let you know what time the pool and hot tub closes , which is fairly early 9 p.m . The pool and hot tub are nice once of the reasons we booked here ( and because it was close to the beach ) but the pool is all of 4’6 inches deep . . There is nothing to do or really eat around this area so you more than likely will be driving 30+ minutes looking for food .“

“Great staff and atmosphere“

“My husband and I had a wonderful dining experience @ Boca in Lake Mary. Our waitress, Brett, was so knowledgeable and helped us choose from the diverse menu, making the entire experience feel effortless. She truly catered to us like VIPs. We can’t wait to visit again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
