Linda and I went for the first time about a week ago. We should have gone sooner. The food was so good and the decor was refreshing. Great service and a great meal. We're going again tonight.
June 2025
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...

We've come and stayed at the beach the last 3 years with another couple and last year we discovered this place. We couldn't wait to go back this year, and it did not disappoint! Cassandra was our first server tonight and was so friendly and accommodating, answering all our questions, and making us feel unrushed. It seems the servers share the tables, and they were all very attentive and friendly. Love all the books in this place, and the general vibe and feel is relaxed....
