The lady who runs this restaurant was one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. She works so hard to pick her ingredients and homemake everything all by herself. The food was INCREDIBLE and the portions were huge! Definitely worth the price. I’m not from around here but I know every time I come to the area I’ll be eating here!Vegetarian options: All vegan options!Kid-friendliness: The restaurant was decorated nicely and would be great for a family mealParking: Parking is right out front of the restaurant, and there are many side streets as well to parkDietary restrictions: The food is raw, organic, and vegan

I was excited to try this place. Today I was in Sarasota on business. I was greeted but not warmly. I was asked if I would be dining in, I answered yes and was told to sit anywhere, but only at the smaller, 2 top tables. That's fine, it was only me. As I was looking over the very pricey menu (22.50 for a lunch item, is pricey, however good, nutritious and well prepared food is worth every penny, usually) I immediately noticed the menu has statements about gratuities. "Gratuity is not included" "parties of 3 or more have a 15% gratuity added". It was very clear a tip is expected and seemingly of much importance to this establishment or at least to the author of the menu. I found that off-putting. As I decided what I would order I received a call and needed to be on my way. I decided I would order to-go and told the lady. She immediately told me there would be a 15% charge for to go. That didn't sit right with me. I like to eat raw, organic food made from love and served from love. The vibe was "15% gratuity" one way or another. I would've tipped 18% as that is what I can expense and as I mentioned I was there on business. The menu prices seemed steep, to me. Still, I was willing to pay for the art of the food and tip accordingly. The constant mention of 15% gratuity took away from the attractiveness of the meal. I declined, politely, thanked her, and preceeded to leave. The lady continued to explain "that's what I charge, 15%" all the way out of the door. It felt harassing. I won't go back, nor would I recommend this place. Raw, organic, plant- based is synonymous with kind, warm and inviting, in my mind. My short experience at this restaurant was not that. I'm sure the lady will reply to this review with a finger pointed and for lack of a better term, with a mean response as she has the other mixed reviews. Still, I said what I said.

This is LITERALLY the BEST food I have ever had. It takes whatever you “think” is good, to an entirely new level! The freshest most creatively inspired energy infused dishes. I can’t not recommend enough you HAVE to go here.

If you’re looking for a meal that will leave you feeling energized and full of gratitude, look no further. While we’re used to fast food across the board, Rano curated a different experience unlike any other. Every ingredient and dish is artfully crafted and made with love that you may only find in your grandmothers kitchen. For all eaters, vegan or otherwise

Found this place on Happy Cow when visiting Sarasota and I'm glad I stopped in for lunch. It's a little pricey but everything is homemade, the service was fabulous and my lunch was delicious and filling.

The menu was revolves around my wife’s dietary needs but everything it tried was amazing. Highly recommended even if you are not Vegan.

HIGHLY recommend!!! My boyfriend and I came for an early dinner and had the guacamole + lasagna and it was so fresh, delicious and clearly made with love. The owner is so kind and a talented chef. Most of the menu is raw, but there are cooked options as well. Local gem + recommend to vegans and non-vegans alike!

Well crafted, yummy food! The food was prepped with love and care. The ambiance could use some work, maybe a live plant or two. Pretty eco-friendly. I love the eclectic plates. Street parking. Bathroom on site.
Place is so good. Best raw food! So much flavor and the owner puts so much pride and love into the food. I eat here every time I make it down to Sarasota!

If I could give this place zero stars I would. I drove 20 minutes to eat here and it was closed because they "sold out of food." At least have the decency to reflect your hours in Google so people don't go there and waste a trip on a Saturday night. I'm honestly shocked that they would run out of food and then not reflect their closing in their listings. Very unprofessional!

Amazing vegan restaurants with great ambiance and service I had the Ravioli a perfect quantity with side salad.For my drink I had the Saffron sun tea which is a light drink with not too much of flavors, but a great drink to go with your food.My mom had the Quinoa burger also a great recommendation.For dessert we had passion fruit with figs amazing flavors but a set of side plates is needed the plate is to small and very sticky.Overall a 10/10

We love this place. I leave there feeling fulfilled, content, grateful & healthy. All restaurants should be dedicated to serving fresh healthy meals like this. Sarasota is lucky to have such a quality vegan restaurant.
