“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.“

“First timers but def won’t be the last! The crabcakes, lobster bisque, tuna tacos, & beef short rib were the tastiest & freshest food we had while here. Wished we would have tried it sooner in our trip cuz I’m going to bed thinking of the food!! We sat out back where a guy was playing guitar & it was just a whole vibe. We love love love good food!! Service (Monica, I hope) was exceptional. This will be one of our faves for sure. Portions were perfect. Did I say how delectable the tuna was? Mmmm….⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Best Rubiens I have ever eaten. Perfectly made. You won't be dissapointed.“

“Very lucky to have this in Sarasota. Love“

“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.“

“This is truly a very special place. The food, wine, service and ambiance is exceptional!“

“Wow! What an impressive evening at every level. Do not hesitate and book this restaurant for your next food adventure. The moment you walk into this establishment, you know the vibe is cool and these people know their food & spirits. The food is incredible and different than the typical Sarasota restaurant that has the same boring food offerings. I was impressed with the Iberico pork dish and unusually amazingly flavored vegetables and spices that accented the smoky, tender pork. The yuca side dish was similar to a potato but more flavorful and crispier mixed with an addition of corn, pickled cabbage and other vegetables. I haven't found a dish that impressed me more in recent years. The crispy salmon was a "oh wow" moment for my friend, who hails from the Pacific Northwest as do I, where Washingtonians know a thing or two about salmon. This restaurant provides your palate something different and if you're a veteran of dining out constantly, this is a welcomed change from the ordinary. The New York steak included an amazing demi glaze exploding with flavor and had the perfect consistency which can be a challenge to make right but State Street Eatinghouse + Cocktails got it right. I highly recommend the fried Brussell sprouts appetizer as they were a flavor explosion in our mouths. The bacon amplified the sprouts with the accompaniment of the balsamic glaze. My friend's husband and mine, who usually don't like this vegetable, were pleasantly surprised and ate more than the obligatory "try one" bite. State Street Eating House + Cocktails is owned by the same people that introduced us to tapas restaurant "Beso", which I recently tried, and awarded it my "Best Restaurant in Sarasota" award. This restaurant belongs in the "Restaurant Hall of Fame" of Sarasota or even US restaurants. I love it! My waiter, Dana, was super attentive and impressive. His vast knowledge of the drink and food menu was spot-on and his candor and expertise added to the whole evening's experience. What an amazing restaurant! I can't wait to book my next reservation and I'm kicking myself for not trying it sooner. Cheers! Dietary restrictions: I appreciate they were mindful of my cow's milk allergy which makes eating out difficult since most dishes have butter and/or cheese. Thank you for helping me feel confident about eating here.“

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

“Had a party of eleven. Put in a request for a table to accommodate and when we got there it was ready. Great variety to choose from on the menu...everyone enjoyed their meal. Server Lindsey was fantastic, she kept our refills without having to ask and was extremely pleasant.“

“High quality dishes for either lunch or dinner - my go to place in Sarasota. Menu is mostly vegetarian/vegan, but dishes are clearly labelled Vegan. Many locally sourced and organic ingredients. The seitan chicken sandwich is great, as are the many bowls options. Their several unique vegan sushi rolls are probably my favorite - but is hard to pick one! The staff are always great. Would give five stars if Happy Cow didn't reserve that rating for restaurants that are wholly plant-based.“

“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!“

“Really Great Food ,and service.“

“great menu,great service priced well“

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

“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.“

“Wonderful lunch! Plenty of healthy fresh choices. We’ll be back!“

“Venice location: our 1st visit! Friendly service. Delicious burger and fries. Yummy chicken tacos. Love a la cart sides, so we can order what we want instead of wasting food we don’t want. Will be back many more times.“

“They cook on site, homemade sauces, smiling faces, reasonable prices, all in all I give them a five star rating“

“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“

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

“This place is amazing!!! The waiters treat the customers with care. I dropped a fork on the floor and they picked it up, put it in their pocket, and replaced it immediately. The food here is even better!! The food is placed with care and everything is so good. But best of all, the wait isn’t even that long!!! Only like 5 minutes and you’re being served 5-Star Salmon!! And the view… Astonishing!!! You can see the whole city bellow you and I feel like I’m looking at earth from a satellite!! 5 stars 100%.“

“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.“

“Venice location: our 1st visit! Friendly service. Delicious burger and fries. Yummy chicken tacos. Love a la cart sides, so we can order what we want instead of wasting food we don’t want. Will be back many more times.“

“Best brunch in town. We always recommend Made to out of town friends.“

“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!“

“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!“

“We’ve had the absolute pleasure of staying at The Beach Residences for the past two months, and it’s been nothing short of a dream (LOL, basically my most favorite week-long vacation times eight)! A major highlight of our stay has been Ridley’s Porch, the on-site restaurant. With its stunning view of the pool and Gulf, it offers some of the most breathtaking sunsets you could ever imagine.

From the moment we arrive at Ridley’s Porch, the exceptional Ritz-Carlton service shines through. The valet team—Fico, David, and Thomas - always greet us with warmth, setting a fantastic tone for each visit. We’ve enjoyed chatting with them about life and admiring the beautiful cars that line the driveway!

During our stay, we were fortunate to attend both the French and Spanish wine dinners. The food was outstanding (thank you, Chef Eddy, and Sous Chef Austin!), the wine pairings were impeccable, and we learned so much about the vineyards and varietals. The service was top-notch, and we were lucky to have such great company at our table.

Whether dining indoors or outdoors, at lunch or dinner, the service (servers and runners), food, and drinks were consistently exceptional. We especially loved how the menu evolved during our stay, giving us new and exciting options to try.

One of our favorite moments was enjoying happy hour at the bar after a relaxing day at the beach. The set menu offers delicious food, and the daily drink specials are a great touch. It’s the perfect way to unwind while catching the sunset. Cyrene and Michelle were fantastic—so friendly, they made us feel right at home, like we were at one of our favorite local bars. One evening when I wasn’t feeling the best, Yonney kindly suggested and made me a ginger and bitters…and I immediately started feeling better!

We also took advantage of the takeout, which was always delicious, particularly the fresh salads, which were packed so thoughtfully.

During our stay, I had a bit of a last-minute dilemma on Super Bowl Sunday when I needed food for a boat ride. I remembered meeting Juan Cordoba, the Director of Beach Club Operations, one evening during sunset and again at a beach party. He was working alongside his team, which showed how hands-on and dedicated he is. Juan listened to my needs and quickly arranged a menu that from kemp’s Market that allowed us to enjoy a leisurely boat ride before the Super Bowl, without interfering with my preparations for the evening. The food was ready before the restaurant even opened, and everything was perfect—huge thanks to Juan and the Sunday morning kitchen staff for going above and beyond!

As we prepare to leave later this week, it’s definitely bittersweet. We’ve truly loved our time here and are already looking forward to returning next year. If we were residents, there’s no doubt we’d be members!

I’d be remiss not to mention the fantastic team members we encountered along the way at Ridley’s Porch—special thanks to the Ladies and Gentlemen – you are an amazing team!
• Culinary Team: Chef Eddy and Sous Chef Austin
• Food Runners: Piero, Alian, Patricia, and Adriana
• Bartenders: Eric, Cyrene, Michelle, Britt, Yonney, and Joe
• Ridley’s Porch: William, Clarissa, Anna, and Angelina
• Kemp’s Market: Francesco and Carlie
• Valet Team: David, Thomas, and Fico
• Leadership: Jay and Caitlin, who are always on and behind the scenes supporting the team in every situation.

PS: Dining at Ridley's Porch is also an added benefit when staying at the Ritz Carlton, Sarasota. The hotel also provides a bus shuttle service to take you door to door!“

“Diane was a stellar server and helped us with everything we needed. Prime Rib special is good. If you order the grouper with spinach, tomatoes and olives be ready for no spinach. Got two leafs!“

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

“I love having breakfast here after I’m on the water fishing in the morning Jamison’s, corn beef hash and Keylime pie“

“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!!!“

“Love this place. Great live music.“

“I've stayed at this hotel twice now when I come to visit my husband's family. It's honestly a super convenient location close to all the things we like to do, the staff is always friendly and helpful and the amenities and outdoors of this hotel are great. The rooms definitely could use a good refresh they are getting very worn and are looking dingy and dirty. I stayed in a holiday inn the night before on our way traveling to Venice and for less money we had a way nicer room much, much better. For this I cannot leave a full 5 star review but we do love staying here so i think 4 stars is fair.“

“Excellent food, atmosphere and staff. Britney is excellent and our new BFF!“

“Great staff and atmosphere“
