“We’ve been getting our Cuban coffee, empanadas and Cuban sandwiches. Do not miss an opportunity to meet this delightful family! Charleen treats you as though you are a guest in her kitchen. A unique and incredible experience. Great sandwiches to grab at Osprey Marina if you are going boating in your own vessel or hire a charter! No hurricane damage…she’s open for business!“

“Excellent lunch experience! I enjoyed a fried shrimp basket. The shrimp was perfect! The cocktail sauce was great! The coleslaw was excellent! The fries were ok. Our waitress was on the ball, great personality, and provided an enjoyable experience! It was an absolutely perfect day to sit outside.

I can't wait to go back and take my family!“

“Just ate here for the first time I got the duo smash burger and OMG sooooo good! One of the best burgers I’ve ever had. Highly highly recommend this spot! Service was quick, staff was friendly! overall amazing!“

“Sharky’s (and Fins) was the perfect surprise after a long drive and a Venice Beach sunset. The hostess recommended Fins, and it couldn’t have been better. We started with chilled lobster claws and Oyster Rockefeller — both incredible. My friend, who thought she didn’t like oysters, called them the most delicious thing she’s ever eaten. We shared a petite filet cooked medium rare to perfection, paired with a glass of Pinot Noir that felt magical. The service was seamless, with both servers providing warmth, professionalism, and great energy. Combined with the amazing food, relaxed atmosphere, and a breathtaking view of the sunset over the beach, this experience completely exceeded expectations. I can’t wait to come back.“

“The best ice cream in Florida! Generous portions, friendly staff and a wonderful location. You can sit inside or outside, both are fun. Can't wait to go back, yummy!!!“

“We had dinner at Siegfried's Restaurant on Feb. 26th - our third meal there and we always leave with big smiles on our faces. The schnitzel and sauerbraten are both excellent, as are the sides and desserts. The staff is warm and engaging and we were so happy to meet and speak with the chef/owner. The restaurant is in one of the cozy-looking cottages on Fruitville Rd and is the perfect setting for this authentic German restaurant. Be sure you make a reservation and be prepared to enjoy a fantastic German meal!“

“Absolutely the BEST ice cream around. As a family we drive an hour nearly every week to eat Jake's ice cream...YES, it's that good! Incredibly kind owner and staff as well, this place is a must visit if in the Sarasota area (and beyond!) Once you've tasted Jake's ice cream it's hard to ever eat anything else, he's raising the standards for homemade ice cream with every flavor - although we all have our favorites we've never tried one we didn't like!! (My personal favorite is Salty Turtle)“

“Absolutely adored this lunch spot today! Great waiter, atmosphere, drinks and tasty food!“

“Tony’s Chicago Hot Dogs in Sarasota is the real deal. The hot dogs are deep-fried and cooked over hot coils, giving them a crisp bite and smoky flavor you don’t get anywhere else. Toppings are classic Chicago-style, fresh, and piled high. It’s a fun, casual spot that delivers exactly what you want from a hot dog stand.“

“Great food, service, and atmosphere!“

“Awesome place! Staff were great, food was delicious and can’t wait to go back!“

“There are several good coffee places in Sarasota, but this one is the best. The friendly warm couple who run this shop treat you like family, and offer a non-sugar, non-artificial vanilla ice coffee that competitors do not offer.“

“Outside tables in back of gas station/deli window but damn this is best Cuban sandwich I have ever had and can’t stop eating it. It’s loaded with a mild dill pickle that adds to the texture of the cuban seasoned meat. This is crack for lovers of Cuban food and who would have thought after visiting the store many times and never noticing until local referred me.“

“We came to Clayton’s as a group of 20 to celebrate an engagement. Freddie was an amazing server, the food was great and the staff were excellent. We will definitely be back!“

“I just tried the new soba noodles with Kim chi and it was fabulous. If you like some kick in your noodle s this is for you five stars plus“

“We had lunch today at Oak & Stone in North Port. Wellen Park! Great food service and pleasant atmosphere. 5 ⭐️“

“Another flawless dinner with the most exceptional service. We've never had a bad meal at Summer House. Worth every penny, every time. Thanks to the amazing staff who always make it special!“

“Just had lunch at Spearfish Grille and had a great experience with Adriana as our server. She is very attentive and has a great personality which makes her very personable with customer’s. Thank you for the excellent food and experience!“

“🇩🇪 Wundervoller Besuch – absolut empfehlenswert! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🇭🇺 Wir waren gestern in diesem liebevoll geführten Laden und sind rundum begeistert! Der Baumkuchen war ein Traum – frisch, saftig und mit viel Liebe gemacht. Dazu ein hervorragender Kaffee, der das Genusserlebnis perfekt abgerundet hat. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir die unglaublich freundliche Eigentümerin, mit der wir ein sehr nettes Gespräch führen durften. Man spürt sofort, mit wie viel Herzblut sie ihr Geschäft führt. Auch der Service war aufmerksam und herzlich – man fühlt sich sofort willkommen. Das Geschäft selbst ist sehr sauber und gepflegt, mit einer warmen Atmosphäre, in der man gerne verweilt. Wir kommen definitiv wieder – ein echter Geheimtipp!“

“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.“

“We had an amazing dining experience at Cuba 1958 in Sarasota! There were four of us, and we enjoyed every single dish we ordered — from the appetizers to the main courses, everything was absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich and authentic, the service was outstanding, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was both beautiful and welcoming. This place is a gem! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful meal and a great vibe. A must-visit!“

“I visited this store with my girlfriend because she saw the “key lime pie” sign on 41. We turned around and got it and it was very good (one of the slices was frozen but when it thawed it was good). We also had the key lime truffles and they were WAAY too sweet. However, the key lime pie was so good my girlfriend went back and got some. The first time we went, the girl said she could cut it into 6 or 8 if we bought an entire pie. When my girlfriend requested it to be cut, she said that she wasn’t able to. We’re confused why that was. For a $30 pie, requesting to get it sliced doesn’t seem like a big ask. It was also frozen.“

“Fresh fish prepared well awesome sides to choose from. Great small joint vibe with Live Music and an awesome back yard. Get there early the line gets deep fast. 10 out of 10!!“

“Best homemade ranch!!!!!!“

“I rarely leave reviews for places but this place is sooooo good! Definitely try it!“

“I had an amazing experience at 99 Bottles! The atmosphere was fun and welcoming, and they have a fantastic selection of drinks for everyone. But what really made our visit stand out was Bart, our server.

From the moment we sat down, Bart went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. He knew the menu well, gave great recommendations, and had the perfect mix of professionalism and personality. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does and cares about his customers. Our food came out quick, our drinks stayed full, and he checked on us often without ever feeling intrusive“

“The Sarasota Farmers Market is one of the best parts of downtown on Saturday mornings. It’s not just about fresh produce — though the fruits, veggies, and locally grown herbs are always excellent — it’s also the atmosphere. You’ll find artisan breads, pastries, fresh seafood, local honey, handcrafted soaps, Olive Oil from Italy, jewelry, and unique gifts. The vendors are friendly and take pride in their work, and there’s a real sense of community as you walk through the market. Street musicians add a lively touch, and there are plenty of food stands for a coffee or breakfast while you browse. It’s a great place for families, locals, and visitors alike, and it captures Sarasota’s mix of creativity, culture, and coastal living. Highly recommend spending a Saturday morning here — you’ll leave with full bags and good vibes.“

“Had a wonderful lunch yesterday at Bodrum Restaurant along with 7 other ladies. Food was delicious and Tansel was a most charming server. Solicitous and humorous. Planning to attend their fashion show and luncheon in December.“

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

They even can their amazing beers. The best part is the prices!!! I have been to many breweries and so many of them are charging up to TWICE as much as they do for these awesome beers. The staff is just as amazing. Next time I come down I will have to get back here!!“
