Staff are amazingly helpful and sweet…it’s beautiful inside…there are just no downsides to this place. The falafel rainbow bowl is my new favorite lunch. ❤️“
“BEST Mediterranean food / Turkish food I’ve had. Best food in Sarasota I’d say and super affordable aswell. The owner is sweet and helpful. I come here atleast 2 times a week & try new things and its amazing every time! The place is clean and the desserts are also delicious. Lots of vegetarian options here aswell. I usually don’t write reviews but I had to. Much love to this business ?“
“This is hands down the most flavorful and delicious Lebanese food I’ve ever eaten. I highly recommend the shawarma plate. You get a taste of everything! The staff is extremely friendly and you feel at home here. If you’ve been thinking about stopping by, do it! You won’t regret it.“
“The best greek salad that I’ve had in North America! Reminded me of the Greek salads that I would get in Greece when I went 5 years ago. Also had the tzatziki with pita and was superb! Service was just as good as the food, the restaurant was very clean, and loved the Greek themed decor! Definitely recommend for anyone looking for really good authentic Greek food.“
“This place is so elegant and quaint. The food was very AUTHENTIC Greek and lots of organic options. The four of us all got different dishes so we could try each others. The wine was Northern Greece and great. Pietro was a gracious host and loved hearing his stories. I felt like I was eating in a little Greek village and tasting their cuisines for the first time while hearing stories from the locals. Loved the whole experience.“
“D’Corato Ristorante is absolutely the best Italian place ever and is a hidden gem! From the warm atmosphere to the superior service, this place knocks it out of the park. Every meal I have had there has been amazing! The precious family who owns this restaurant goes above and beyond every time! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“We came after Thanksgiving and were very disappointed to hear that the pizzas had been removed from the menu. We've had them in the past and they are delicious. We did have the pasta special. I thought it was good but my wife thought it was so so. Kelly, the bartender is great!“
“True fresh Greek cuisine. Went back 3 times after giving it a try. Food is amazing and the service is great. Glad we tried it. Skip all the other restaurants at the circle and try this place. Grilled calamari and Greek potatoes were over the top the best.“
“Trying to find a place to celebrate my birthday with my closest friends, we came accross Sprig of Thyme. The minute my husband called to make a reservation Luigi was absolutely welcoming, kind and very excited to host us. We felt appreciated and very excited to come to the restaurant after our conversation with Luigi. Luigi took his time to make sure we had everything we wanted to celebrate my birthday prior to our reservation. When we got to the restaurant yesterday, we had a beautiful table set up for our group of friends. We had the pleasure to meet Jessica (Luigi’s wife). Jessica was also very welcoming and kind and was very happy to host us. The servers, staff and the atmosphere in this place was absolutely excellent! The food was incredible, we all tried different items from the menu and every single one of them was great, but my favorite was the duck! It was amazing!!! If you are looking for a unique, exclusive and high quality place, this is the place for you, where not only food is amazing, but you are treated like family!!! We will definitely be going back very soon! Thank you Luigi and Jessica!!!“
“Fantastic service, superb food, wonderful atmosphere. Live music really set a fun vibe for the whole restaurant. Mae, the manager, made sure our experience was top notch! She was extremely professional, kind and helpful - I thoroughly enjoyed it with my family and highly recommend.Dietary restrictions: Many gluten free optionsParking: Plenty of parking, all close to entrance“
“In the past there were tables for 2, 4 and groups according to your reservation. This time all tables were for 6 and you were seated with strangers. We didn't really like this. But the buffet itself, as in the past, was excellent with great variety and first rate quality. Come hungry.“
“First time here today and place filled up quickly. We were served the most delicious Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food available. Everything was freshly made. I'm sad I found this fantastic restaurant at the end of my stay here in Sarasota but look forward to eating here alot upon my return.“
“It was great. The waitress served us very well and gave us all the help and incredible Elba and I don't know his name but I can say how polite and friendly a man who, with all due respect, served us water and walked around the room was always attentive. Congratulations to the kitchen, everything is “
“One of the best restaurants in Sarasota. We eat at many places but this one is truly at the top of our list. The food is excellent, the service is superb & the atmosphere is exceptional. We were there to celebrate my friend’s anniversary & the restaurant truly helped us make it a surprise. Edwardo was the most attentive server. He was excellent & we observed all servers doing such a great job.FOOD: Try the Brussels sprouts for appetizers. It fed 5-6 of us & had a great flavor. Dinner: I highly recommend the yellow fin tuna steak. Oh my gosh, the flavors that are married into this main course dish were delicious. They blended so well into the tuna steak (which was cooked perfectly & not overdone) melted in my mouth. Others at our table ordered the filet mignon which they said was excellent. My husband had the open-faced shrimp on pita bread which gave plenty of shrimp, perfectly cooked & the dressings were a delight. Even the coffee after dinner was great.SERVICE: These servers were so attentive, & as noted, Edwardo was excellent. He is bilingual, speaking Spanish & English. He anticipated all our needs, from drinks to food, to checking that we were happy with the way our food was right after it was served. He handled many tables without leaving us to ask for anything. How do they do all of that? A perfectly organized kitchen, chef, management & all that put this restaurant at the top.ATMOSPHERE: Seating includes inside & outside, both of which packed quickly but no one was left standing to wait. It is decorated perfectly, making great use of space, was clean as a whistle (even the bathrooms), & outside area.Overall, we love coming g here & will continue to do so. A great place to eat, shower your guests with the great flavors of Sarasota & terrific dining.Edwardo: Gracias!“
“Our server, Veronika, was excellent. She explained how the menu works and various dishes. The food was also excellent - the Hummus with Lamb Ragu also the baked Feta, and kebabs. I can't remember the name of the dessert cake - yummmmm. Don't miss it.“
“A friend recommended this nice Turkish restaurant to me. My daughter and I had a wonderful lunch. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. The Borrek was light and fresh with the tzatziki. The Doner kabab and Iskender were both excellent and with large portions. Highly recommend both.“
