Restaurants in Sarasota

“Fantastic all around. Food is fresh and delightful. The staff are so kind and helpful. The cocktails are bright and refreshing. Highly recommend this to anyone, regardless of whether you’re local or visiting. Classico always comes through for us, and we’re sure they’ll come through for you.”

“Not sure why I waited so long to try Beso. Table of 5, tried 12 different dishes. Each offering was a hit. There was nothing that was just ok. We also tried all of the sangrias, each was very unique and we struggled to find a favorite with those too; each drink was so interesting and good. Some favorites the liver mousse (never thought I’d say that), anything chimmichuri, the artichokes, the croquettes… honestly I don’t think you can go wrong here. We also slide the seasonal paella, chicken tikka masala, wonderful and actually lighter than I expected which was welcomed. We ended the night with their flan and it’s honestly the best I ever had. Service was great. We kept our server, Matt, busy running plates and he really helped us pick some great dishes. The owner, Jason, spent some time at our table and we really learned what the restaurant was about. The night was a great way to share an experience with family and friends. Can’t wait to go back!”

“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.”

“Great happy hour at Brine the other day after a successful closing on my clients condo. Opted out for a nice Absolute Cosmo $8 and 6 happy hr oysters, Sweet Lucy that evening. Decided to have more 🦪, picked a variety along w Lemon crush cocktail . Light delicious dinner in the books. Looking forward to trying other things on their delectable menu.”

“Absolutely delicious! Very authentic food. Clean, casual, friendly, busy (make a reservation!) Menu is concise. Not overwhelming. Everything on the menu we had was outstanding. Prices very reasonable. Large portion sizes. Beer and wine menu. MUST TRY ?”

“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!!!”

“Best meal in a few years along with great atmosphere! We started with corn ribs, sweet potatoes, sautéed mushrooms and hummus for appetizers. Drinks were great, old fashioned, midnight, Cassandra and the Normans! Then we had steak kabobs, steamed octopus, the burger, shrimp and lemon potatoes. Deserts were manna split, soft serve with sea salt and olive oil, custard pie, sticky croissant with pistachio. Everything was absolutely perfect, and spectacular! If you come to Sarasota be sure you go the Florence and the Spice Boys! At UTC mall area.”

“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!!!”

“Old money roll was the bomb! Spicy tuna ,avocado apple inside ,top with scallop ,seared with Japanese mayo ,black caviar gold flakes! Yummy 😋! I also ordered cherry blossom roll that was good too. They have various sake flights-how fun! Great service, lovely atmosphere! I shall return there I hope soon!”

“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)”

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

“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! 🥰🍜”

“For 100% vegans, this fine dining experience is worth the extra cost. The food is delicious and diverse. However, tonight I tried a dish I wouldn't order again: the filet for $49. While the texture was appealing, the flavor was lacking and became unexciting after a few bites—I truly wanted to love it! Unfortunately, they only had butter as a sauce option. The accompanying mashed potatoes were enjoyable, and I appreciated my mocktail, a fig espresso martini.”

“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.”

“First of LOVE the name definitely a Vibe. To start I had the carne asada tacos 🌮🌮🌮 best I've ever had hands down top notch! everything was cooked perfectly the meat was super tender and well seasoned fresh toppings the limes were juicy 🤤 EVERYTHING was on point! The owners are super friendly so are the staff definitely will be returning to try more of there menu. Highly recommend. 😋🙌🏾🤌🏾🤙🏾💥💯🔥🔥🔥🇲🇽⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My new Taco spot ❤️🙏🏾😊”

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

“My wife and I come to Siesta every year. Spearfish Grille is one of our favorites. Last night was amazing. Giovanna, Jasmine, Taylor, and Jada were excellent and fun. We had the special fish with shrimp and a lobster sauce. outstanding. Thank you.”

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

“Nice atmosphere & food was delicious”

“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.”

“We love IONIE!! We have enjoyed this wonderful restaurant since 2022! I should have posted a review then. We have ordered most things on the menu and everything is super fresh with amazing flavors! The atmosphere is friendly, food consistently fabulous and a beautiful ambiance. Always great service! Updated from previous review on 2025-02-09”

“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.”

“Great food, service, and atmosphere!”

“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 😂”

“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.”

“Whenever I eat sushi, I usually go to a place in Venice, but I wanted to try something new since I was in Sarasota that day, and I'm glad I did. I definitely will be returning again. The food was delicious.”

“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.”

“Fantastic food and service. We had chips, queso and 4 tacos. Probably should have only had 1 taco, but had to try another one! The chips are unique and delicious too. Very casual atmosphere. Feel like they take the quality of their food very seriously! You can tell. We ate at the Bee Ridge/Tuttle location.”

“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 delicious!, Small, intimate, great service, and oh so delicious”

“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”

“Great lunch, drinks and service”

“What a wonderful dinner last night ! Was suggested the 2 appetizers both amazing then for dinner I got the butter chicken and my friend got the Josh lamb both outstanding . I can't wait to go back and try more dishes. Staff was all so nice”

“Food was superb. with the dessert being a surprize. Coming from Texas I am highly critical of place. The service was quick and effecient, and also knowledgable of the menu. Food was tremendous, from appetizer to entree. Desert was a surprise, with just the final touch of sweet. Only negstive was the condition of the restroom.”

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

“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.”

“Had a yet again wonderful dinner experience there this past Saturday. The food was great, bested only by the wonderful service and welcoming atmosphere. I called them this morning in search of my credit card that I was frantically looking for. I believe it was the owner who answered, and even though they were closed at that time, volunteered himself to go the restaurant to see if my card was there. He called me within a half hour that it was there. He waited until I got there to give me the card. He was an absolute gem to do this of his own accord. I can’t thank him and his wonderful restaurant enough!”

“Excellent Italian cuisine. Service and food were outstanding. Highly recommended!!”

“The sushi and salad combo were delicious, as always. Our server, Ms. Darling, added to the enjoyment of the evening---always available when needed and very pleasant and knowledgeable.”

“We had an excellent meal. I had the tuna steak which was cooked perfectly, tasted exceptionally fresh, and seasoned exquisitely. Husband had the filet which was also wonderful. We enjoyed cocktails which were spot on. The espresso chocolate cake topped off the evening. Our server Alex was attentive but not intrusive and gave excellent suggestions. Service was top notch. We love the Capital Grill and will continue our patronage especially after a night like last night.”

“Simply said, PHENOMENAL! Emelio, Rosie and staff are fantastic! The food is sensational! I certainly think it’s one the best restaurants in Sarasota! Bravo!! Can’t wait to go back!”

“Found this restaurant as a recommendation on a local Facebook group. We decided to give it a try. The restaurant is clean. The service is excellent. All of the staff were very friendly. The food was delicious. All of us were very satisfied with our meals. They give you a lot of food and we all had leftovers to take home. This is a hidden Sarasota gem. I highly recommend and we will be back.”

“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.”

“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 🥳”

“Waffle Houses will never be know for great ambiance, but they can provide a filling breakfast quickly and pleasantly. The food was very good and arrived promptly. The cheesy steak and eggs with toast and hash browns was a hit as was a Grand Slam.”

“Had a great nite with Family & friends. Drinks were cold , bartenders were great attentive, and very personable. I great place to relax , meet people and enjoy being with family & friends!”

“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!”

“Amazing sundown experience. Started my afternoon at the Tiki bar which was a good call. They were short staffed and helping with orders on the beach. Though Solo, it was a semi quiet bar family and children friendly. Shout out to (Joe) who attended to me and was very attentive. After my meal I went to lounge. Beach waiters were attentive as well i.e water bucket and umbrella etc. I felt well attended to though I did not require much. I want to applaud management towards the etiquette and team spirit the men and women had. I could hear many complaints of orders being skipped or taking too long, yet felt the crew did thier best by compensating in other area's. I do have to say to update the beach lounge chairs they are very uncomfortable.”

“Wawa is a great spot for a quick and tasty breakfast! Their breakfast toast is delicious, with fresh ingredients and the perfect crunch. The egg and bacon burrito is also a solid choice—warm, flavorful, and satisfying. Whether you’re grabbing something on the go or need a quick bite, Wawa never disappoints!”

“Awesome place to eat great service all servers and managers are great God bless them all”

“I visit this McDonald's for breakfast often. I use the mobile app now for every order. The drive-thru is normally quick and I get on my way without delay. This location gets the orders right and I appreciate it. Would recommend this McDonald's location in the Sarasota area without hesitation.”

“They accepted my breakfast order even though the drive thru menu switched to lunch while I was waiting in line. I thought we might get cold food, but once I paid they asked me to pull forward. After only a few minutes, a very polite young man "presented" me with super fresh sausage egg biscuits & hot hash browns! I appreciate their kindness & the fact they serve breakfast till 11:00 a.m. (In this case, a few minutes after.) 😉 Thanks again!!”

“Awesome experience. Amazing ice cream! Highly recommend for all!”

“Amazing cookies . Their chocolate chip walnut is my favorite . We live almost 2 hrs from them and the owner delivered it themselves. Cookies were perfect . Can’t recommend them enough 👏”

“So we've been here two years from the metro DC area hunting for a good Indian restaurant. Mind you, our expectations are high because we've become accustomed to over the top Indian flavors and varieties. Since here we've tried 3 places. One was terrible the other 2 were ok. Today, we found our new go to spot for Indian on Fruitville and Honoree called Royal Peacock. Food fresh, great taste and aroma, impeccable service, not over the top pricing and a clean pleasant atmosphere. We had Palak Panere mild and chicken Vindaloo spicy, both white and saffron rice, along with butter nane. Don't waste your time at the others this is the real stuff. JK”

“First time and the food is authentic. It is definitely homemade food. I think he is the owner who served us. Made us feel welcome and the food is amazing. Have to come try it.”

“It was amazing, I asked the gas clerk how the food was and he recommended the fried rice with chicken. I have to say it smelled yummy and when I got home and had some it was amazing. Love trying new places to eat and love helping the community. Go try them out. Friendly service as well.”

“Found this amazing pizza on Sunday while driving through Gulf Gate! Delicious, fresh ingredients and reasonably priced- go try it if you are looking for something more exciting than your average pizza!!”

“Deliciousssss!!!!!!!!! 💙 🍍”

“Excellent service, I loved the place, I will definitely return, a lot of kindness and professionalism on the part of the staff. The attention was 10, with a lot of love and above all I enjoyed a breakfast like I hadn't done in a while. Thanks for everything. Wait for me soon.”

“I was there on 7/31, was served by Jamie. S He was very professional, courtesy, and knowledgeable. I don't know if this is the place to bring my complaint about her supervisor, but you can emaemail and I will explain. I would hire Jamie anytime.”

“We hadn't been to a Longhorn Steakhouse for a long time and were pleasantly surprised with our experience at this one in Sarasota. It is busy but has a nice ambiance, excellent food, and excellent service. Ariel, our waitress, did a fine job. The steaks were cooked as ordered. Entrees came with salads and a side. The Filet and Lobster Tail with sides of Mac and Cheese, the Filet with salad and a sweet potato, and the Salmon and Shrimp with salad and a side of Brussel sprouts were all delicious. I would not hesitate to return.”

“Excellent!!! the hostess was so friendly. the waitress very attentive . I highly recommend it !! I just moved from Texas . I'm so happy !!”

“Fast, friendly, cheap, high quality, tasty, healthy treats, breakfast and lunch sandwiches, soup and salad too.”

“Atmosphere is nice, clean and cute, outside seating is available too. The food is delicious and fresh, they have authentic Hungarian and new contemporary creation options to choose from! The staff is very friendly, kind and polite! Overall an excellent experience, I would recommend this place to all who visit the area!”

“ALLES!!! Das Essen, den leckeren Kaffee, die tolle Atmosphäre, die Freundlichkeit und die Sauberkeit . Wir kommen wieder”

“Real Chicagoans know the real deal. This is it!!!”

“Absolutely great pizza at a great price and amazing service. It has the perfect crunch and the cheese they use enhances it all. Definitely will come again and recommending to friends and family.”

“Hoshi Sushi is the BEST SUSHI in Sarasota! This family-owned gem is run by Starr, the incredibly sweet and kind owner who makes every visit feel like you’re part of the family. The sushi is always fresh and bursting with flavor, and their miso soup is hands down the best I’ve ever had. Our favorite sushi rolls are the sweet potato and avocado – they’re simply amazing! Don’t miss the edamame and the bento boxes, which are perfectly balanced and absolutely delicious. The service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. I highly recommend Hoshi Sushi to anyone looking for an unforgettable meal! 🍱 🍣”

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

“We enjoyed Fam! We ordered today for delivery. My baby loved the tofu scramble! We would order again!”

“I recently hosted a group dinner at the Mellow Mushroom in Sarasota for 80 Sarasota High School baseball players and their moms and it was AMAZING!!! Everyone had such a great time! The food was delicious! Service was awesome! And dinning area and set-up were perfect and for our group! We'll definitely be back! Owner, Karen Atwood, is so supportive of our team! She's awesome!”

“Very lucky to have this in Sarasota. Love”

“Amazing ambiance and food! Beautiful decor and the culinary presentation is top notch! Anthony Bourdain would be impressed! Julianna was wonderful!”

“great take out services, plus DELICIOUS food”

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

“Such an awesome, little hidden treasure in Sarasota! 🌸Must check out!!”

“Excellent excellent excellent. I've tried most of their subs now. It's becoming a habit. The subs are a bit spendy but huge. Two meals easily, so I think their pricing is appropriate. I get to go, eat half one day and half the next. Keep up the good work Faicco's.”

“Haven't been let down yet. This is my go-to spot recently! The drinks are always great & I love doing a beer flight to try different drinks. The food is always fresh & everything I've tried is great. I love the philly + steak bowl.”

“First time trying this place and I really enjoyed my visit. Lily gave me excellent customer service and I will definitely come back.”

“We love wood fired pizza and Atmosphere delivers in every way! This small friendly spot on Beneva has the best wood fired pizza we have ever tasted in FL -”

“Finally tried their food today. Everything was amazing! Will defiantly go back. I wish they posted their specials on Facebook but other than that everything was perfect!”

“My wife and I met two friends there for happy hour and had a great time eating and talking. All of the food and service was great. Food was fairly priced and cooked perfectly and the service was the best. All of the mixed cocktails were great tasting too. I would highly recommend Ruth’s Chris for happy hour or dinner.”

“Flemings UTC went over the top in Making sure our 30th Wedding Anniversary celebration was special! Food, Service, and atmosphere was outstanding!”

“This place was highly recommended by a friend. My expectations were completely exceeded. Small quaint place that feels like you rolled into a bistro right from a cobblestone path in Tuscany. One chef, one prep line, small kitchen that creates big bold flavors. Food reminded me of Nanas cooking from childhood. We never went without anything as the service matched the food. Hands down one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Thank you chef and wonderful staff for an amazing birthday meal.”

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

“Amazing steakhouse people .. Steaks are cooked to perfection, juicy and full of flavor. The sides are delicious, especially the garlic mashed potatoes. Cozy atmosphere with attentive service. Great wine selection too. Perfect spot for a date night or celebration. Highly recommend I do to anyone”

“We were a party of four celebrating a Ruby wedding. A card was waiting for us on the table. Our server Adam was terrific. Cocktails and wine were excellent. My husband’s ribeye was tender, tasty and served rare, just as he requested. The rest of us had Chilean sea bass, which was so delicious! The sides were also good. I don’t eat dairy and it was no problem to alter dishes for me. The ambiance was perfect and for us, dining at Hyde Park is more than a meal out - it’s an experience! Highly recommend!”

“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!”

“Lenny'z has a great atmosphere. The pizza was fantastic - New York style of course. The meatball appetizer was especially good. Our server Caleb brought the whole experience together with skill and a great attitude. He was outstanding. Thanks.”

“Hands down the BEST craft ice cream in Sarasota. The passion and heart the owners put into every scoop is evident at your very first bite. I highly recommend this amazing ice cream. You just gotta try it!”

“Absolutely love this place. My wife first got me into 99 Bottles through one of their Sunday community walks — a couple miles with a great group, followed by waters, mimosas, and New York bagels back at the bar. The whole thing is super well-organized and just has a great vibe. Bart (one of the owners, I think) is the man — welcoming, thoughtful, and clearly cares about building a real community around this place. The food’s great, the menu’s creative, and the service is always on point. We’ve met some awesome like-minded people through their events and it’s become one of our favorite spots in Sarasota. Just a genuinely good place run by genuinely good people.”

“Love their food”

“We bought a small variety of cookies and brought them home to eat, and they are excellent.

Kid-friendliness: My 11 and 12 year-old enjoyed the store and the selection. Most of all, they enjoyed the cookie taste!”

“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”

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

“Great tasting coffee based ice cream, yummy 🍦”

“You can’t have a better rare burger and service with a smile anywhere in world. Take this opinion to the bank.”

“Finally a sandwich shoppe that knows how to make an Italian Sub. The best I have had. It reminds me of when I was a kid, we had an Italian Sub shoppe in our town. We would go there whenever we had enough money to get a sub. This is the best sandwich shoppe in town. Excellent! Incredible and Thank you. Can't wait to go there again for the meatball sub.”

“I just wanted to let you in on a little secret. I have lived in Sarasota for 3 years and i have found the best ice cream shoppe in Sarasota. Pinecraft Ice Cream is the best. Located at 3350 Bahia Vista St. They have a delicious variety of ice cream some even dairy free. My favorite is the soft serve twist. While your there order a pizza from Village Pizza By Emma. Reminds me of the great pizza when I lived in New York. Tell them Bob sent you.”

“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!”

“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”

“can't have enough superlatives for this local fish themed restaurant. as well as fish and seafood, there are some carnivore options as well. portions and pricing attractively appointed too. give it a try. you won't b disappointed.”

“What a wonderful restaurant. I have traveled extensively in France and found this hidden jewel in my backyard. The food is not only exceptional, but also true to French cuisine. You have to try the croissants and baguettes which are freshly prepared daily. The crepes and sandwiches are superb as well as the desser pastries. I strong recommend this restaurant. It is definitely worth the drive.”

“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!!!”

“Great food very clean we love the hibachi and sushi!”

“Very good food. Delighted to Eat there again.”

“Always an enjoyable dining experience especially with friends. It gets better every time we go. Presentation can't be beat especially when the server prepares the 1905 salad at the table, a work of art. Iced tea glass never got below half full for long. Looking forward to our next visit. The entire staff make you feel welcomed and provide a unique dining experience every time.”

“Very lucky to have this in Sarasota. Love”

“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”

“My husband and I just stopped in on our way home from Alabama and we were absolutely blown away by the food here! My husband’s steak could be cut with a fork it was so tender! Definitely looking forward to stopping in on our next road trip!”

“😀We were told to try Yoder's and we finally did and I wish it hadn't taken so long. Great food, great desserts and great service at affordable prices. You gotta eat here!”

“We were a party of four celebrating a Ruby wedding. A card was waiting for us on the table. Our server Adam was terrific. Cocktails and wine were excellent. My husband’s ribeye was tender, tasty and served rare, just as he requested. The rest of us had Chilean sea bass, which was so delicious! The sides were also good. I don’t eat dairy and it was no problem to alter dishes for me. The ambiance was perfect and for us, dining at Hyde Park is more than a meal out - it’s an experience! Highly recommend!”

“I absolutely love Flower Child but their reward system is by far the worst I have ever seen. It’s very complicated.

The atmosphere is fantastic and the service is always really Strong. Today I went in and Molly was absolutely super helpful. She really knew the menu and was very patient and kind.

The salads 🥗 are phenomenal and the enchiladas were absolutely delicious. 5 stars if the reward system was better. Great job 👏”

“This coffee shop is a true gem! The coffee is absolutely amazing – rich, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality beans. And the food? Don't even get me started! Everything I've tried has been delicious. But what truly sets this place apart is the incredible customer service. The staff is so friendly, welcoming, and attentive. They go above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. It's clear they genuinely care about their customers. I highly recommend this coffee shop to anyone looking for delicious coffee, fantastic food, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. You won't be disappointed!”

“I love Potbelly!!! We just moved here a year ago and I’m so glad they opened my favorite sub shop in Sarasota. The Avo Turkey and the Meatball are my two favs. And I love you can get any sub skinny so there is less bread. We moved here for my son to go to IMG so we are by the school in Bradenton so I’m glad it is close enough to uber eats.”
