The Lovely Square is exactly as the name reflects! It's a LOVELY square! The Owner and Chef... Phenomenal! His lovely bride and Co-Owner has Exceptional attention to detail and top level customer service! Their beautiful French roots are shining through! The sweet cozy family feel is felt upon entering into the beautiful double doors! Come early to grab a table, because the secret is out! The Eggs Benedict... ya'll.... ya'll ... A- Mazing!! I have had the Finland version and many American versions... but this location has topped them ALL!!! Great for a ladies brunch, breakfast date, and even a refreshing lunch break! You CAN'T go wrong with this LOVELY square!🎉❤️ It's a Vibe!

Not only was the food really delicious, but I forgot my credit card there, flew back to NY, called them, and they mailed it to me. What nice people and what a great place! PS - pancakes were amazing

This is our favorite place and our breakfast and lunch go to! The owners are so kind and welcoming, but the food is what brings us back. They have from scratch, fresh, healthy options, and each dish is a gourmet meal. I crave their almond croissants! Definitely recommend!

A great addition to the Sarasota food scene. The blueberry pancakes were phenomenal; light and fluffy with a scrumptious sauce. The eggs Benedict was also delicious. The decor is a little strange, but the service is wonderful and I will absolutely be going back!

Absolutely amazing place. Lovely Square is easily one of the best casual spots I’ve been to.
The owners, who seemed French, have an incredible talent for perfectly combining ingredients and turning them into truly wonderful dishes. Everything is thoughtfully crafted — from flavor to texture to presentation. The plates are beautiful, the service is fast, warm, and genuinely welcoming.
We had pancakes, avocado toasts, and more, and literally everything was outstanding. What really impressed me is that even after eating plenty of delicious food, we felt pleasantly full yet comfortably light — no bloating, no heaviness — which is rare for a sweet breakfast out.
Extremely recommended. Without a doubt, one of the best casual places on my list, and a spot I’ll happily return to again and again.

Absolutely loved this place! The eggs Benedict were hands down some of the best I’ve ever had! Perfectly poached eggs, homemade hollandaise, and everything was so fresh and flavorful. The service was just as impressive! Friendly, fast, and super attentive
This is it, the best breakfast experience in Sarasota. Amazing and innovative food with monthly specials, a homemade pastry counter, and a true family run experience. The family that owns the restaurant is on the floor waiting tables and in the kitchen cooking.
My wife and I moved to Sarasota 4 years ago. We tried a different breakfast place in Sarasota and Venice every Sunday to find a new spot for our weekly tradition. Albane and the staff have treated us like family since day 1 and we will be here every Sunday.
Must tries: The Patty Melt, Bruschetta Avocado Toast, and Benedict’s are all incredible. The specials all come from the owner/head chef experimenting and never disappoint.
Spectacular breakfast and lunch venue in Gulf Gate. Food, service, and atmosphere all top notch. Very few great breakfast places in Sarasota County. This may very well be the best.

By far the best breakfast/lunch place in all of Sarasota. The pancakes are so fluffy everything is made from scratch. I'm not a huge soup fan but end up getting the soup of the day Everytime because they are so unique. Highly recommend
