I drove an hour to find out they were closed, but had an OPEN sign outside. Saying the kitchen is closed then it is in the fridge. It's not hot. "No, they can heat it.." wait the kitchen is closed. Yah but no one is here so they will heat it. I can't have ginger. It said online made to order. Then online it doesn't say that parking is paid for.So I paid 10 dollars to park to find out they are closed.I'm not happy. Mind you I am writing this outside. They came out and still left the open sign up. No one has walked in. Door is now locked. Open sign still up.Ick business. Wouldn't know if it's good because they are horrible at online community stuff.

Ristorante vegano vicino al bayport di Sarasota. Menù abbastanza completo, abbiamo preso l'avocado toast e gli Zpaghetti. Buona la qualità delle materie prime utilizzate ma non siamo rimasti entusiasti dei sapori nel comolesso. Prezzi giustiDietary restrictions: Veg friendly

I would give this place ten stars if I could. Finally stopped for the food after getting the juices at the farmer's market and WOW! Restaurants like this one are so necessary. The food good for the body and the soul- and DELICIOUS! You can tell that the owner is truly passionate about the food that she makes and the community she feeds. She is always so kind at the farmer's market and welcomed me with a hug into her beautiful space today. I had the falafel gyro, which was so delicious, filling, and fresh. I also snagged the most incredible strawberry cheesecake! It was hard for me not to buy everything. I will definitely be back. 100% an amazing place to nourish yourself.

Lovely lunch spot, amazing menu for Vega and gluten free! We'll be back, what a great find! I think it was the owner explained who it all to us, she's such a delightful woman! We had the buckwheat pancakes, the gyro, celery juice, and the root chakra tonic. Yumalicious!!Vegetarian options: EVERYTHING is vegan!Dietary restrictions: EVERYTHING is gluten free!

We wish we lived closer. The place is immaculate and we'll appointed. The help was wonderful and the menu so diverse. We each lived our meal (The Martin and Tostadas) and "The Shake" is amazing!

Ione is like an Oasis in the city of Sarasota. I come often to recharge my body with “True Blood” - an excellent blend of beet, lime, ginger, and apple. Remarkable, every single time I come here it feels like it’s food and juices that feed the soul, heart touching nutrition. The space is pleasant and conducive to a few moments of tranquility and peace. I recommend Ione’s if you want to leave with a heart full of gratitude every time. ??

My wife and I went to Ionie for lunch today -- somehow we have missed this gem before -- and it was five-star in every regard. Delicious and creative food, interesting drinks, lovely staff, beautiful atmosphere, and all-vegan/organic. We cannot possibly recommend it highly enough!
Delicious, healthy meals and always fantastic service from Dominic, Eric, and Ionie. I would recommend this place to anyone even if you are not vegan! My favorites are the Thai Noddles, Tostados, Greek Pizza, and Golden Milk :)

We love this restaurant! The food is fresh and delicious and we always feel uplifted from the moment we step inside. The staff is warm, friendly, and helpful in explaining the menu. I love The Martin handheld and the sushi. The desserts are heavenly too. If you haven't been, give it a try! We can't wait to go back.

Ionie living foods & tonic is superb. The atmosphere, the people, the vibe, and most importantly, the wide variety of scrumptious and mouthwatering vegan food that they have if some of the finest that I have had the pleasure of experiencing. This place sets the bar so incredibly high in nutrition, taste, consistency, and flavor profiles that it’s hard not to keep coming back.It’s the definition of a hidden gem, in that it is right across from a Whole Foods and I had driven by it numerous times only to miss it. It’s my luck that I was looking up vegan restaurants that this was one of the first matches to come up. When I walked in, I was greeted by a really friendly gentleman named Dominic. He was so open, warm, compassionate, and caring, that it was quite easy to speak to him and get his ideas on what he may suggest considering he knew the restaurant better than I did, at that point.I tried the falafel and it was so mouthwateringly delicious that I as a vegan was still blown away that it’s vegan ?. The next time I came back, I tried the Thai noodles and my pallet was so happy for days that I think and feel I’m going to keep coming back to try every single Item on the menu. Better yet, after eating her food, I feel better. I don’t feel weighed down, lethargic, and I sure as hell don’t feel like I’ve eaten something healthy, I just feel the good good.I met Ionie by sheer luck and she is so lovely. She feels compassionate, intelligent, dignified, and quite funny. She was so humble when I found out her name and asked her if she was the owner and she said “so that’s what they tell me” ?.Thank you for opening your restaurant, I’ll make sure to tell everyone I know about it so you get all the recognition and the customers that you deserve. Looking forward to next time ??.
