“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!!!“

“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)“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“Great food, service, and atmosphere!“

“We visit Coast To Coast Coffee often!!! We enjoy the all the choices and Gabrielle is amazing!!! Try it for yourself!!!❤️“

“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!“

“Not only way the food off the charts.. Wade our waiter was Fabulous! We will be back soon to see him and enjoy the most AMAZING Food Ever !“

“We were at Spearfish last night and would HIGHLY recommend it! We showed up around 7:00 pm with a party of 8. We were seated inside in under 20 minutes. Our server “A” was amazing and an absolute blast! The food was fabulous! The clam chowder was hot and delicious. The calamari was one of the best we have had and we would definitely recommend getting the hogfish fish and chips….soooo good! The icing on the cake was the family feel from the staff who have all worked there for 3+ years. We are here for a week and might have to go back again! It was that good!“

“🇩🇪 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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Best homemade ranch!!!!!!“

“Atmosphere great. Owner is wonderful Camille. Waiter is arrogant and never ever apologizes when food doesn’t come out prepared as requested. When an entire plate of steak frites is sent back undercooked doesn’t even offer anything as an apology“

“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.“

“I was in the area on a work trip and one of my co-workers recommended me visiting Siesta Village while here. After watching the sunset and very quick search of best places to eat near me, I decided to stop at The Cottage. Best decision I made. First the host didn't treat me any differently when I said I was dining alone. She was friendly and took me to a nice spot so I could listen to the live music. Then Cecelia....she was an absolute gem. Incredibly friendly and did NOT steer me wrong when I was stuck between ordering the Lobster Maki Sushi or the Seared Scallops. Based on her recommendation, I went with the Lobster Maki Sushi and it was the best decision. The flavors and mix of lobster with the shaved teriyaki tenderloin with just the right amount of char smoke was perfect...I cleaned my plate. But before that, I started with a bowl of the lobster bisque. I have eaten a lot of lobster bisque...it's one of my favorite soups. BUT the lobster bisque at The Cottage was one of the BEST I've ever had....certainly my absolute favorite! And on top of the amazing Cecelia and sweet host, I was checked in on by a wonderful woman who asked how I was, what I ordered, how I enjoyed everything...just made me feel so welcomed and at home...which helps a lot when you're stuck eating out alone. I didn't even know she was the GM until the very end when she introduced herself to me and we shared how I have a bracelet to follow a sea turtle and she has one to follow an elephant. If you haven't tried The Cottage yet, go now! I wish I was here longer so that I can go back again before leaving, but I'll make sure to be back next time I'm in town. In the meantime, I'll dream about that lobster bisque (and my delicious Mango Mule with Tito's).“

“Some of the best Indian food I’ve ever eaten in the United States. I’ve visited London and had the Indian cuisine there, this restaurant gives them a run for their money! Impeccable service and very clean/modern ambience. We ate family style and everything was incredible. If you’re feeling up for Indian food and you’re in the area, go here!!“

“Best French pastries in town along with they're fabulous double espressos. Their dog friendly. Love this place. We have always been greeted with a smile from the owner along with his son“

“Fantastic Gulf of America views, great food, super service, great array of frozen drinks! Nice way to eat and spend a leisurely afternoon!!“

“Really great poke! Would highly recommend. Will definitely be returning! I got a sushi burrito, and they gave me the extras on the side. I was worried for the price, that a small wouldn’t be much… but it was plenty of food! And so good!“

“Great tasting coffee based ice cream, yummy 🍦“

“We love going for coffee and donuts. Now that it’s warming up I tried the donut sundae! Yum! Taking my love for ice cream to the next level with a warm donut! 🍩“

“The seafood sampler was delicious- the scallops melt in your mouth like butter. The ocean scampi was good, but the garlic was a bit overpowering. Pleasant staff and comfortable outdoor seating… it was nice for a higher end meal.“

“Highly recommend this venue for your special occasion- the owner exceeded our expectations at every level. From the decor to the food- she made my daughter’s bridal shower exquisite!!! Everyone commented that it was the nicest shower they had ever attended! And the food and cake- omg- soooo delish! 5 ⭐️s!“
