34 Best Salad Restaurants in Sarasota

“Great lunch, drinks and service“

“We have been here twice and guess I missed posting a review the first time.

That being said, Naked Farmer is an excellent choice for a healthier and cleaner fare.

Our first visit, was so good, we brought friends for the second.

Nice selection of proteins, bases, and sides. The menu rotates with the seasons and everything is prepared perfectly.

This time I had the charred chicken atop a squash farrow base with roasted carrots and a squish medley for sides. I added a little harissa sauce for some tingle (that's just my preference). Even had a small bottle of sauvignon blanc too.

The only downside to this location, is the location. It is tucked away in the center strip behind UTC. Traffic and parking are a nightmare, especially on the weekends.

No fault of the restaurant by any means. Just be advised.

Service is good and prices are certainly fair for the times.

We'll be back again soon.“

“Amazing food Great people!“

“Wow Wow Wow! Absolutely delicious and authentic Italian food! I never order pasta from a pizza joint... I'm way too serious about my pasta. I took a chance on Capo as I'd had a slice of their eggplant pizza and it was fabulous. I orded the rigatoni bolognese, and requested penne as a substitute. It was heaven. The sauce was perfect - the amount of garlic was subtley handled as was the rest of the seasoning. No bitterness and not too sweet either. You can tell the sauce had been cooked awhike and not rushed. The meat was high quality and the coupe de gras was to burrata! A huge helping of cheese right in the middle of the dish. The serving was huge... I only needed it for myself and I got 3 meals from it. Of course as all pasta lovers know it was even better the second day. I had the good fortune to be offered a meatball to try by the owner. I went back the next week for an order of meatballs and tried the gnocchi. Highly highly highly recommend giving this place a try!!!“

“Lenny'z has a great atmosphere. The pizza was fantastic - New York style of course. The meatball appetizer was especially good. Our server Caleb brought the whole experience together with skill and a great attitude. He was outstanding. Thanks.“

“The Creamy Curry is a constant craving in our house. This dish has been my Birthday and Mothers Day request 2 years in a row! 🥰🍜“

“Excellent Italian cuisine. Service and food were outstanding. Highly recommended!!“

“The coffee and food were absolutely out of this world. The only thing better than the wonderful atmosphere and cuisine was the service! Will definitely be requesting to sit in Angela’s section next time we come in! 10/10 stars!“

“We love this place! Great food, great service, reasonable prices. It’s everything I’m looking for when going to get breakfast with my fam.“

“Great place to get a quick gluten free lunch. I have celiac's so the gluten free part is EXTREMELY important and I can happily say I've never had an issue after eating here. Even the gluten free buns are sealed to prevent cross contamination. A+ job on the food. The staff is really friendly and happy to chat or slip me freebies through their app. Kudos to Mark and all of the staff over there.“

“Excellent place to relax! Great people, great food.“

“Gave this place a shot super-late one night when nothing else was open and couldn’t have been happier. The pizza was great and they keep serving food in the hours when everyone else has closed or shut down their kitchen for the night. Now that I know about it, I’d go back even when everyone else in the area is still open/serving.

Update: Ordered from them a few times since I wrote my original review (?) five years ago and my last experience was really rough. The pizza was just so poorly made and not at all up to the standards I’d come to expect from them. Hopefully it was just a fluke but it was so disappointing that I haven’t been back since. I’m only dropping my review to 4stars because of all the good experiences I had before but… that last one was pretty bad.“

“Having an stellar sandwich and excellent coleslaw, a must try if you are downtown SRQ.“

“Lived here for 12 years and just discovered this place. Definitely the BEST Italian restaurant around. Everything tasted like my mother and noni had prepared it. Caesar salad was the real thing. Gnocchi truly melted in my mouth. Sauce was exceptional.“

“Best wings ever! Dog friendly seating outside. Favorite pizza in Sarasota and a healthy roasted veggie salad“

“I came in on Tuesday for an early lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the cute atmosphere and friendly staff. The food was amazing and tasted as good as it looked. I love that they have both indoor and outdoor seating. The girls that worked there helped me pick a great açaí bowl and checked in to see if I was enjoying it. The place was really clean and felt very relaxing.“

“Found this little place when in Sarasota for work.. beautiful atmosphere with authentic French feel and music, the server was very nice and helpful with food recommendations. The food was fantastic; looked and tasted amazing !!! I’ll definitely be back for another treat. I’ve had the swamp grass crepe and loved it!!!!

“We had a special celebration last night and I just can’t say enough about the experience at Miguel’s. The food is always delicious but the service and kindness of the staff is above par for many restaurants that I’ve been to. This beautiful restaurant is a such a gem, as well, for its culturally rich ambiance and long standing reputation. We are so fortunate to be able to celebrate the important moments in life at Miguel’s.“

“Having only ordered delivery once so far, I will be back! Incredible size and everything was so fresh! Delicious too.“

“El mejor restaurante de esta área, servicio al cliente y comida excelente. los mejores quesa birria 😋“

“Food wasn't bad. Service was good. If you're looking for a more quiet place to dine, this would not be it. If you're looking for a place with more chatter and laughter, then I suppose this would be the place for you. In any case, though distracting, customers seemed to be having a good time. Bon appetite“

“I recently visited the local Tropical Smoothie Cafe and I have to say, Dana, Zandy, and Shuanna truly made my day. Not only did they greet me with warm smiles, but they worked together with an unwavering level of efficiency to ensure that my order was prepared and served flawlessly.

The atmosphere was energetic and fun, and their menu was filled with a wide array of refreshing and healthy smoothie options. But what really stood out to me was the trio's attention to details and commitment to customer satisfaction. They even went the extra mile to make sure I left with some promotional materials, definitely worth visiting again!“

“Ordered the grilled chicken and egg white sandwich yesterday morning with the minis and the bacon egg cheese buisciit for my boys. We love breakfast here before school. Makes the Day better!!!“

“My husband and I are visiting from Orlando and stopped in for an açaí bowl. It was delicious!! Generous serving. Lots of fruit! The girls were friendly and helpful. The place was clean. We ate inside because it was too hot outside. I can’t wait to go back again.“

“This was a unique experience and you should try it at least once. Choose your toppings from just cheese to just shy of the kitchen sink! My wife's pizza was literally piled high and I wasn't so sure it would cook all the way through!
I loaded mine with jalapeño peppers and other spicy toppings. Excellent!
Service was quick and efficient. Customers came and went but the place never looked sloppy or overwhelmed.“

“We generally don’t eat at Panera because some of the other locations have been less than impressive in the past. On a whim, we decided to give this location a try and it was the BEST decision my fiancé and I have made recently! This Panera location ROCKS! Every member of the staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about their job. The food is insanely fresh, hot, and delicious, and they NEVER skimp on portions/ingredients! The menu items actually come out looking like they do in the advertisements - and they are loaded full of flavor. I recommend one of the new toasted baguette sandwiches; in particular, the Buffalo chicken is to die for! In addition to phenomenal food and service, the location is adorable and convenient; the outdoor seating is very cozy and inviting - you feel like you are eating in a garden. This is our new favorite casual dining spot to hit up at the UTC mall. Definitely check it out if you are in the area, you will certainly not regret it!“

“As a Jersey native, this pizza is GOOD. They did not skimp me on extra cheese. I tried the battered corn bites, I wish it came in like a garlicy and herb sauce, but it tasted exactly like it would: fried corn balls. Definitely recommend! Will be coming back :)“

“cheddar broccoli soup......“

“I really enjoy Cava’s food and drinks, but this review is more to give thanks to a lovely staff member. Marietta was so pleasant when I stopped in. Not only was she professional, she brightened up my day with her kindness. Cava’s lucky to have her.“

“Through the recommendation of friends we went to the Sarasota location and we were surprised and delighted with our server Casey!!!! She suggested some summer cocktails What a delight to have a server who is good at their job and knows how to wait on thank you Casey for an amazing experience“

“This Panera always has great service and just as good food. I felt I had to write a review since my server Judge was just exceptional! He is so friendly patient and very helpful with deciding your order and explaining things. For instance the menu changes. Panera you are lucky to have such a valuable employee!“

“You can get chicken here. And waffles fries. That's pretty much all they do, and they do it pretty well. They'll fry it for you or heat up the grilled chicken bites- they'll even throw it on a salad if you want. Eventually, even you will get through the drive thru line. Or you can eat inside if there's enough room. There's so many people in there. I recommend getting the sauce“

“Jon, the manager, is a great guy. It is hard to run a corporate semi fast food restaurant that is always short staffed and limited on product. Nevertheless, John runs this place as if it was a fancy restaurant. His attention to customer service, politeness, and professionalism is exemplary. This place runs well, despite the challenges, because of managers like him.“
