Delicious food (the snapper crudo was divine) & lively environment. Our server was amazing. Would definitely recommend it as menu is pretty diverse with many great options & price point appropriate for serving sizes are rather large. Really such a cute restaurant.

My husband and I are from Chicago area and were visiting family. We always love St Armands for shopping and dining. However, we have never dined at Cafe’. Well, it will be our go to from now on. We sat at the bar and had wonderful service from Tom and Angelina. The Charcuterie Salad is a must! They have an extensive wine list and the cocktails! Angelina made me a “Strawberry and Cream”. Fantastic! Not too sweet and just the right amount of boozy. Its a pretty drink too… perfect for photos😊. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. My husband had the Spanish Gin and Tonic. ALSO HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Lets just say we highly recommend Cafe’. Great food, creative cocktails, and excellent service. The gem of St Armands. ❤️

We've been to St Armands Circle often but never stopped into The Cafe before. That was a mistake - this place is great. Inside the restaurant is much bigger than it looks, and its just had a big rebrand. The food is really good, affordable Mediterranean cuisine. We had excellent service from Alex and the other staff.

I'll be honest, the food just was not put together well.The recipes on the menu is nothing.What it actually tasted like. It was like Walmart food stuff.I cook at home every night and made a mistake.I'm not sure who designed the Menu or dishes. I paid fifty dollars for a half of a half of a grouper over red onions and a half of cucumber. Are you kidding me. Couldn't even give me the whole filet of grouper. The spinach and rice peeltasted like a mistake or when I was running out of food in my refrigerator I would mix something up on the side. A Three hundred dollar bill Later. My beautiful lady chose the pasta and chicken. Which was a chicken thigh or should I say a half of a chicken thigh roasted over three day old pasta that was heated up in water. I usually don't tattle tail on restaurants.But I expect a lot more if you're going to charge high end prices. Definitely would not go back here again

This place is so cute and romantic, it does transport you to a far away place. I highly recommend the mushroom flatbread. Manny our esteem waiter was wonderful! We walked out and was reminded we're still in the U.S 😞.

Located on the outskirts of one of the quadrants, cafe St Armands is a blend of Mediterranean and southern Italian food. Food itself was good, but overpriced for the value of it, as it was nothing too crazy fancy or over the top. We did a walk in which they said was completely full for the night, but was able to seat us and it dint seem too busy. Definitely make a reservation for nights.

Great little spot. I love the happy hour options, plus it's a long happy hour from 2-6! It's nice that they also have a coffee bar until 2pm. That's really great with Starbucks not returning since the storms.

I would give it a C Plus the door is pretty good but not great
We love the rebrand, the breakfast menu is a refreshing variety from most breakfast places. I especially loved the Buddy Brew coffee and the ample drink menu. Service was great as well!

I wanted to leave an additional review. Carlos was great. Attentive, kind, fun, and knows his job. He has a passion and it comes through.

On the hunt for another one of a kind experience. Set your eyes on the “Mediterranean soul in the heart of Sarasota” this Café is far more than that. With plenty of covered/uncovered out door seating, to the quaint cafe feel once inside. You might not notice the extravagant bar and private dining areas unless you venture off into the restaurant.
The menu has plenty of options which of course you can’t go wrong when starting with an O.G. Greek salad. It’s like they knew who was coming! Eli expressed his love for the Moroccan Crispy Duck, and as the photos show it was exquisite. So eye catching and packed with beautiful aromas from the sweet potato’s and glaze that the guest across from the way went with the duck as well. To tie everything together, Abby treated the table with the Lemon cake. Which was still warm from being freshly baked.
To be able to sit and enjoy such delicious options one year after being completely devastated by Hurricane Helene, goes to show the heart and soul put back into this beautiful city. It’s worth stoping in even if you only want a cocktail or coffee durning happy hour. You won’t be disappointed. Truly special thanks and gratitude to Abby and her entire team.
