Restaurants in Sarasota

“Kaya,our server, did an excellent job. Food was very good; the Short ribs and Caesar salad were excellent. Plenty of outdoor sidewalk seating is available. Happy hour is until 6 every weekday.”

“We had a family gathering catered by Dolce Italia and everything was absolutely amazing! We had trays of the Trenne Dolce Italia with sausage, an eggplant dish and homemade pasta with meatballs, which was absolutely delicious. The Mista salad was beautiful, fresh and the perfect compliment to the meal. The process was easy thanks to Matthew’s suggestions and the food was hot, packaged well and ready to be served.”

“My dad and I went here while I was visiting and one of the waiters handing out different dishes named Ramon was fabulous. He was very funny, polite and overall gave wonderful service. This was my first time here and I’ll definitely be back!! The food was great, service and atmosphere were fantastic.”

“Food is off the chain delicious . Absolutely loved our first time there ! Great server in Alaura too!! 10/10”

“Wow Wow Wow! Absolutely delicious and authentic Italian food! I never order pasta from a pizza joint... I'm way too serious about my pasta. I took a chance on Capo as I'd had a slice of their eggplant pizza and it was fabulous. I orded the rigatoni bolognese, and requested penne as a substitute. It was heaven. The sauce was perfect - the amount of garlic was subtley handled as was the rest of the seasoning. No bitterness and not too sweet either. You can tell the sauce had been cooked awhike and not rushed. The meat was high quality and the coupe de gras was to burrata! A huge helping of cheese right in the middle of the dish. The serving was huge... I only needed it for myself and I got 3 meals from it. Of course as all pasta lovers know it was even better the second day. I had the good fortune to be offered a meatball to try by the owner. I went back the next week for an order of meatballs and tried the gnocchi. Highly highly highly recommend giving this place a try!!!”

“What a pleasant surprise! I had dinner at Antoine‘s last night and I’m still talking about what a fabulous dinner it was. The food was superb, and the atmosphere was quaint and inviting. Olivier and the staff were on top of service. I will definitely be back!”

“One of my favorite places to eat in Sarasota. Their crab cakes are some of the best I have ever had, and they always have a great oyster menu.”

“Great food, service, and atmosphere!”

“The 💣 diggity 🍣 🍱. Not only is the food out of this world but the atmosphere is killer. The 1st time we ate there the one and only 🎙️Mick Jagger was there. 5 ⭐️”

“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!!!”

“you added a bunch of meat options, and took out some very good vegan options. Very disappointing. You used to be famous for your Rice tots not nearly what they once were. We were regulars for sometime about a year ago disappointed there aren't many vegan restaurants and now you are not one anymore ”

“Tried this place today (based off of some recommendations on Facebook) and it didn’t disappoint! Pizza crust is perfectly baked, crispy on bottom yet airy and light. Owners are both very nice. We will be back!”

“The best! Met Jake tonight with my wife and son at the Bay Rd location! He was so welcoming and friendly! The ice cream is absolutely fantastic! We will make this a stop every trip down!”

“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!”

“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”

“Best dang tacos in the state! The fusion taco is my favorite. The shrimp quesadilla is incredible. I would bathe in the salsa but apparently that’s frowned upon. Seriously, great food and a great family business.”

“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!”

“Nice atmosphere & food was delicious”

“The coffee is exceptional! The atmosphere is very welcoming. I love it here. 💖💖💖”

“Ari and Avery were absolute awesome at the bar, entertaining and fun.
What started as a normal expectation afternoon turned into that other kind of afternoon. Their energy was high, and they gave the place energy. Glad it’s what I wanted to expect 🍻”

“great food like grandma and grandpa made it, great prices and friendly staff.”

“Amazing wine, food and service!”

“Roessler’s restaurant is lovely - the atmosphere is beautiful and relaxed - our waitress was truly a professional - everything from our drinks to our amazing meals (duck,chicken,short ribs,scallops ,salads ) were prepared to perfection . A hidden gem in Sarasota for sure ! We will be making plans for a return visit - Tom and Karon Schandel”

“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.”

“I absolutely loved the food here! ! ordered the Greek pizza, the Almond Joy dessert, and the cardamom pistachio cheesecake-and every bite was divine.
The flavors were vibrant, fresh, and so thoughtfully crafted. As someone who adores raw vegan food, this place felt like a little slice of heaven. Highly recommend for anyone craving something nourishing, creative, and delicious!”

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

“Authentic location, awesome atmosphere, strong drinks…”

“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!!!”

“So delicious, everything is home made. It is a small intimate restaurant and the owners/chefs are so welcoming. The pasta is so delicious and the focaccia bread to the mussels appetizer to the lamb sauce over fettuccine was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The homemade mixture they serve with the bread is unlike anything we have ever had and it was their grandma’s recipe that made it extra special. I would suggest a reservation for this hidden gem!”

“Found this restaurant by accident. It was really good. Mike and Quin are a dynamic duo. They made our experience so much fun.”

“The food and service did not disappoint. My wife had the mahi tuna salad. It was excellent and crunchy as described on the menu I had scallops. They were perfectly cooked and very tender. Service was very good. Everything arrived timely hot, and the waiter did not hover have eaten at hundreds of restaurants and this is one of the better onesnot exceptionally expensive and in a mall but quite good food and service and I highly recommend.”

“What a gem! The food was AMAZING! We ordered hibachi and rolls from the lunch menu. Portions were plentiful. Service was great- our server was super friendly. We’ll definitely be back.”

“Bar Hana is a wonderful place. Cocktails, food, atmosphere and service are each excellent and consistent. Classy yet casual. If you are a seasoned patron of establishments which fit this mold you will recognize the poor reviews for what they are. Bar Hana should be on your short list for a visit to Sarasota.”

“excellent food, huge portions. the samosas are really good with the chick peas. tasty food, cozy establishment. It didn't hurt any that our server was hotter than the fresh food! 🫣😏 10/10 recommend and will definitely be back.”

“Incredible food, drinks and service at Veronica's Fish and Oyster Bar last night for our Anniversary 💍🍾🥂 Highly recommend! We shared the octopus appetizer. My hubby had the skirt steak. I had the whole branzino (not pictured BC the photo was too blurry) it came with the Greek salad. We shared the wild mushrooms and the roasted Brussel sprouts. They also have a fabulous selfie mirror in the ladies room 😍 Our waitress Alexandra was amazing and even brought us a free dessert to celebrate 🥳”

“We came here for the first time this week. Our waiter was incredible. The food is probably some of the best Italian that Sarasota has to offer. We will absolutely be back. Thank you so much for a wonderful date night!”

“Have passed this restaurant many times and never eaten there until today. Excellent Chicken Salad sandwich! Highly recommended!”

“the food was absolutely delicious 😋 and the staff!!! Magnifico!!!”

“Amazing from start to finish! Had dinner last night with 4 other ladies and EVERY single dish was my favorite! So hard to choose! The drinks, the service, the menu, the food…couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Don’t miss this place if you’re in town! Thank you Chef Jeremy!”

“I had the pleasure of working with Kourtney, she was the first vendor I connected with when planning for my wedding. I found her to be very kind, professional, detail-oriented, and extremely helpful. Her recommendations were excellent, and her honesty was appreciated. The fact that she understood my needs, offered feedback, and always had a get-it-done attitude, was greatly appreciated. Mattison's is extremely lucky to have her. Not only was Kourtney a joy to work with, but Mattison's food was amazing, too! During our tasting, we were blown away by how good the food was (appetizers, salad, entrees, sides, you name it). We couldn't stop talking about how excited we were to eat such a wonderful meal. At the wedding, it was no different, everything was just as great as we remembered! The wait staff and bartenders were extremely kind and willing to make sure my husband and I, as well as our families and guests, were taken care of. We highly recommend them! To relive our wonderful memories, my husband and I look forward to visiting Mattison's again soon. If you want great customer service, amazing food, and a wonderful overall service experience, look no further!”

“Even though we live in Venice, we go there very often . Crepes are delicious, best prime rib ever! Prices very reasonable and very good service. Highly recommended. I hope we get a whole Food Market here in Venice with a Brasserie Honore!”

“MS.NICOLE HELPED ME AT THE WINDOW 100/10 service sweetest lady ever. I truly am grateful that there’s still people with a smile on there face in there working environment. I will be coming back.”

“A charming, small, quiet local spot with a varied menu. The quality is consistently good (been there at least a dozen times in the past couple of years) with nice sake choices as well. Service is always good and staff and chefs are welcoming. Parking has become more more challenging lately, but definitely worth the trouble.”

“The best poke and ramen spot in Sarasota!! So many fresh and healthy options, it never disappoints 🥰”

“Cannot say enough good things about this place. Had amazing conversation with Charlie him and his wife work tirelessly to make this place spectacular. 1st time visitor, turned into regular customer for the foreseeable future.

“Good food and service at the Wilmington, DE location”

“Just had my first visit to Hashtag Cafe in Sarasota, and I'm already counting down the minutes until I can go back! This isn't your average coffee shop; it's a unique blend of Moroccan and German influences that creates a truly special atmosphere. From the moment I walked in, the owner made me feel incredibly welcome – a truly pleasant start to my morning. The menu is an exciting array of coffee and tea options, promising something for every palate. But let's talk about the homemade pastries... absolutely divine! I highly recommend the spinach and cheese pastry; it was truly to die for – flaky, flavorful, and utterly satisfying. It's not every day you stumble upon a place like Hashtag Cafe. This hidden gem offers a warm, inviting ambiance and a delicious taste of something different. Super happy I discovered this spot and can't wait to explore more of their offerings. If you're in Sarasota, do yourself a favor and check out Hashtag Cafe – you won't be disappointed!”

“Wonderful experience. Can't wait to go back.”

“The Creamy Curry is a constant craving in our house. This dish has been my Birthday and Mothers Day request 2 years in a row! 🥰🍜”

“I It’s so unexpected to eat at a restaurant that truly blows you away but tonight we experienced just that. We ate at Djonisi’s Restaurant and let me tell you, it was one of the best meals we’ve ever had. The server gave us his name - Djonisi of course, it’s his family restaurant! And his mother was cooking tonight - we suspected we were in for a treat. Everything, and I mean everything, we had was delicious and cooked with love. The grilled octopus, may be the best we’ve ever had. PeiThe eggplant, feta red pepper, and taramosalata dips, and dolmades, the lamb chops were incredible. And the grill for two! They brought a mini chaffer to the table to keep it warm, perfect. Baklava and custard pie for dessert. We took home almost half the food the portions were so big. The lemon potatos and the tomato rice served with each meal - just proves they know exactly what they are doing. Amazing Greek food, such a nice Greek family, super clean and priced well. We will be back. Once we make some room in our bellies from this feast! And I’m Greek… I’ve been eating this food my whole life so you can trust me, I’m a professional 😂”

“With only eight tables and reservations in constant demand, we somehow managed to secure a weekend spot by calling more than a month in advance. I was genuinely grateful just to be there. They seated us at a little two top tucked into the corner by the window. Normally I am not a fan of two-seaters because they can feel like an afterthought. But this one felt intentional. From our spot we could see the whole intimate dining room and watch the chef cooking away. It felt cozy, not cramped.

We started with a bottle of white and two appetizers that set the tone immediately. The tuna tartare was bright and fresh, perfectly balanced. The sausage over spinach and broccoli was warm and rustic and full of flavor. Simple ingredients done really, really well.

I especially love that they wheel the menus over on chalkboards instead of handing you a printed menu. Our server Gus was great and carefully explained each item. You can tell the chef works with whatever is best that day. That detail alone says a lot.

My husband, who is very picky about pasta, ordered the lobster pappardelle in red sauce with a little kick. He was thrilled. I had the shrimp and lobster pappardelle in a sauce that I honestly cannot even describe properly. It was just incredible. Rich but balanced. Every bite made me pause.

Everything was marvelous. I have not enjoyed a meal that much since Florence. And finding that kind of experience here in Florida felt like a little gift.”

“Very special place with delicious, authenthic food. Lovely wait staff.”

“Enjoyed a cold beer and a cheese steak sandwich. At the bar. Place was packed with people waiting at the door. Watched some basketball and listening/watching 70s and 80s MTV videos.”

“Super chill, cozy vibe, fun people, great coffee!”

“Our favorite place to eat breakfast on vacation! Melissa is the best waitress & the food is always delish! The grilled muffins are my husband’s favorite and he looks forward to them all year! 10/10!! 🩷”

“I was absolutely delighted with the amazing service from Karla and Marcos. From the moment I arrived, they made me feel very welcome with their kindness and professionalism. The service was fast, and everything was fresh and delicious. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!”

“Decided to finally check it out after trying it at Reggae Rise Up. Christian and Isaac gave us 5 star customer service which is definitely hard to come by these days. Great kids, great food will definitely be back.”

“Best homemade ranch!!!!!!”

“Love the food and the service”

“Best place to celebrate a special occasion! We were treated like royalty and enjoyed a fabulous meal. Top notch food, several & ambiance. ❤️”

“Dinner was fantastic, but Josh made the entire night. The steak was spot-on, but his service was even better. He was so genuine and sweet the entire time, and honestly one of the funniest servers we've had in a long time. His sense of humor was subtle, perfectly timed, and made us feel like we were in great hands. He checked in exactly when he needed to, kept the vibe light and warm, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever hovering. You could tell he truly enjoys what he does. We left full, happy, and already talking about coming back. If you get the chance, ask for Josh -- he'll make your whole meal better! We will for sure be asking for Josh when we come back!!”

“I bet you never taste Philly Cheesesteak like this one! Do yourself a favor go NOW and try it! It’s SO full of juice and flavor!! Bread is another fantastic element! It’s ridiculous cheap for such a quality. Burger was awesome too! Finally someone cook it to our liking! Rare is actually rare! No doubt it’s my favorite lunch spot in downtown now! There is nothing what you can compare this place with! We been all over and this is a spot to eat! Tables outside and inside.”

“We went on Smashburger night. A dark and cozy atmosphere inside the wine shop with a full bar. A great alternative to the normal restaurants. Very friendly and attentive staff.”

“We had made a reservation in advance to celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary, and our experience was absolutely amazing! We were seated right away and found a lovely anniversary card and rose petals on our table, which was a wonderful touch to commemorate our special day. Our server, Erin, was warm and engaging, and manager Scott stopped by to wish us a happy anniversary and offer a delicious cheesecake dessert on the house. Our filet and shrimp were cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. We also enjoyed the house salad and garlic mashed potatoes. Everything was outstanding, and we look forward to our next visit very soon!”

“Wonderful service and delicious food Friday night. Table of 7. It was perfect.”

“My husband and I have eaten here twice so far- great food and even better service. Holly and Beth were personable, friendly, efficient- very impressed with their customer service! We asked for the manager and told her they represented the restaurant well. Great place to go eat, relax and was within walking distance from where we stayed.”

“So so so so yummy! They have delicious ice cream. Especially their key lime ice cream!! Their key lime ice cream was the best ice cream I have ever had. They are all very kind as well. Super cute ice cream shop. Absolutely recommend!”

“If you want fresh, authentic Thai food you've found your people ! Jayna and her husband Monty are the real deal. Jayna makes all her dishes with the freshest ingredients, hot and ready to go, while Montys grilling the pork skewers. You can't beat the prices and the authenticity. My family has made it a tradition to have the Curry every weekend and if we get rained out it's a huge disappointment ! Monty and Jayna are good good people. Thanks both of you for the best meal we eat all week. Peace and love”

“Their food is really good! We eat there every week. The one exception is their Skillets Potatoes - they're usually undercooked, then topped with green onions and broiled until the green onions are burned. Every Single Time. Come on, Corporate, Pay Attention!”

“Our family ate here multiple times on vacation! Food is delicious and service is friendly, fast and efficient. We miss it already!”

“The tea house was charming with a different t theme in every room. Service was fabulous, food was delicious, and we were served a lovely ginger licorice lemongrass tea at the end . We sat in the Alice in Wonderland room which we all loved! A special thank you to the owners for meeting our special dietary needs, for taking countless pictures for us and for making our experience one of the best!”

“We ordered Pizza and it was delicious!! The service was great!! Sophia made us feel welcome and was very pleasant. She must have visited our table 6 or 7 times making sure we were doing ok.”

“Best pizza in Sarasota hands down..will be getting again tomorrow with friends!”

“Delicious and creative craft tacos, cool atmosphere, very clean bathrooms. 5 stars, will be back again and again. The only thing that would have put it over the top for me is a mocktail menu.”

“Celebrating our youngest daughter’s birthday and engagement, what a beautiful morning, great pastries, amazing croissants, and the drinks were divine!”

“I submitted a review through Google, but I will include it here as well. I cannot recommend this shop enough. First time coming was in early Summertime. Came in with friends, craving some ice cream. Not only did this place deliver, I have come back time and time again since receiving the same incredible service and atmosphere Ryan and his team brings. The rotating flavors are a wonderful dream of variety. If anyone is ever looking for a place for that sweet tooth, or a beautiful way to end your Downtown venture, achieve Great Heights. You will leave soaring through Great Heights.”

“We had the most delicious breakfast there today. Terrific, helpful server. Immaculately clean, wonderful menu choices. We'll be regulars!”

“Amazing pizza! Nothing close even compares.”

“We go to Sarasota twice a year and every time, Shakespeare's is our first stop. We always get the burgers and fries for lunch and we are full for the rest of the day. Also love their beer selections. I am an IPA beer drinker and it's like they know my favorites because they always have at least one of them. Servers are nicer than nice and service is always perfect. One of my favorite places to eat. I highly recommend!”

“Order delivery from here often. Quality is always good.”

“Great casual fare. We shared the delicious recommended Shrimpy fondue and followed with their dry rub ribs (The best in a long time) and a Cap'n Shannen's Pineapple Boat filled to the brim with deliciousness. A very friendly staff and 5 stars to our server Missy. Her recommendations were right on! The service she provided was top notch!”

Highly recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful meal and a great vibe. A must-visit!”

“We've eaten at Big Top at least 10 times and the food and service is always outstanding. This time we went for the Dueling Pianos and it was great! We were surprised that it wasn't too loud to hold a conversation. Our server was very attentive and the food and drinks came out quickly even though it was pretty busy. We can't wait to go back!”

“I recently ordered catering for an office party and the team had a blast. The Acai and the Pitaya bowls were awesome. The portion were good size and there were plenty toppings. We will order again. Thank you Raining Berries Southside Village.”

“WONDERFUL lemon curd cheesecake, quaint store, good latte. Served with real plates and silverware by a very kind, patient man. I’m so glad I decided to try this bakery!”

“Genuinely my favorite coffee spot! I get the Nutella latte literally every day (I work in the mall right next door, don’t judge). Such a sweet couple owns this and genuinely everything is made with SO much love. I truly could not recommend more! So yummy!”

“Great good, great service!”
