30 Best Salad Restaurants in Sarasota

“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!!!“

“absolutely amazing Focaccia bread. Crispy on outside and fresh soft inside like the old days! soups are fresh and homemade as well! Best of Sarasota list! I always stop by for my treat and taste of heaven.“

“We went to the location on Gandy Boulevard today. We were just passing by and saw it so looked up the menu online. At this particular location there was a kiosk to order and no indoor seating. There was a taphouse next-door that had outdoor seating so we grabbed a drink and ate our food there. The portions were large and everything was absolutely delicious! I was delighted to find vegan options. Everything was well seasoned and very flavorful! We would definitely come back again!“

“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! 🥰🍜“

“We had our first visit to Maestrale last Sunday, March 1st. Our group of 7 was exceptionally pleased with our meals (we've never seen our 3 1/2 year old granddaughter eat so much!), the attentiveness and the ease of scheduling the reservation. Our meals were all amazing and it was the first of many visits as we expect to enjoy many more meals at Maestrale. We can't wait to go back!“

“Bar none the best restaurant I Siesta Key!“

“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“

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

“This is my 3rd time ordering from here and wow! I am not even kidding the very best pizza I have ever had. I've had to same waitress and I don't remember her name but shes also fabulous and needs the credit too! I live about an hour away but I will forever go out of my way for this pizza if I can. The best crust thats not too thick and filling but also the perfect amount of sauce. I can't wait to try more items. Good quality food seems to be becoming more scarce but not here! I can't speak on the other locations but hopefully they are just as amazing.“

“My wife and I stopped by today, and once again, it was such a great experience. This Chick-fil-A really stands out from the other locations in the area, and I truly think that starts with the owner and the way they run their restaurant.

The food was fresh and warm, our order was correct, and my wife actually got ALL of her sauces which deserves some recognition! 😂 It’s the little things that make a difference.

Every time we come here, the service is friendly, the employees are helpful, and there is a noticeable level of care and attention to detail. You can tell this isn’t just about getting people in and out the door. They genuinely seem to care about the customer experience.

We’ve been to plenty of Chick-fil-A locations, but this one consistently stands out. The owner should be proud of the team they’ve built and the standard they’ve created. It’s clear that good leadership makes its way all the way down to the customer.

We always have a great experience here and will definitely keep coming back. Thank you to the entire team for consistently doing a great job!“

“I went into 3Natives yesterday for the first time and I wanted to get a wrap. I asked the lady that was working, Noemi, which was the best wrap to get and she was very helpful answering my questions. The lobby and floors were super clean as well which was great to see! This overall experience was amazing and I will definitely go back again.“

“One of the best places to get delicious fresh pizza. And you can feed the whole family for cheaper than fast food. They have great promotions, and you can add healthy salad to your meal. Very fun atmosphere during a weekend visit! Great job to the owner and management 👏 Loved it.“

“2 out of the 5 front workers were nice and interactive. The time was 545pm. Maybe 5 tables were occupied. We tried to sit at 4 tables but they were all dirty. So I went to an employee at the register and asked them to clean our table. Which they did with a smile. Both trash cans were over flowing. For the price of your food I expect more from you Cava.“

“The food was exactly what keeps people coming back. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. It’s great comfort food at a fair price, and it’s hard to go wrong with the menu.

The service was also friendly and attentive throughout our visit.

The only downside is the atmosphere. The restaurant was quite loud and crowded, making it difficult to have a relaxed conversation. It lacks the cozy, authentic Italian ambiance you might expect and feels more like a busy chain restaurant than a place to enjoy a leisurely dinner.

If you’re looking for good food and great service, Olive Garden delivers. Just don’t come expecting a quiet or intimate dining experience.“

“Neat health food spot offering smoothies, salads, wraps, sandwiches, & smoothie bowls. Perfect for a post workout meal or light refreshing snack. I tried their Tequesta Dragon bowl with a very delicious dragonfruit base for the smoothie portion & tons of fresh berries on top with granola blended in between. The portions were pretty reasonable and the preparation was quick. In and out service is always the best. The staff was very friendly and had some great recommendations.“

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

“Went in there on a spur of the moment about it sounded good super glad I did got me in the family some smoothies they all enjoyed it quite well the employees especially my server Erica were super friendly very impatient with me because I've never been into a smoothie shop before“

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

“cheddar broccoli soup......“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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“

“My DoorDash order was incorrect, so I stopped by the restaurant to have it fixed. The young men working at the counter immediately apologized and replaced my order without any hassle. Jacoby was especially kind, patient, and helpful throughout the entire experience.

Unfortunately, my interaction with the manager was much different. She insisted that I was the reason my DoorDash order was incorrect, even though the salad I received wasn’t the one I had ordered in the first place. She continued to argue with me over which type of chicken I had selected, despite the fact that the entire order was wrong. At the end of the day, I simply wanted the correct salad.

Despite the situation, Jacoby went above and beyond. He made sure I had extra ketchup, the correct dressing, and even a fresh drink. He handled everything professionally while the store was busy and made what could have been a frustrating experience much better. He deserves recognition for his excellent customer service.“

“Very cozy and calm place that gives peaceful Christmas vibes. One thing I truly value is how friendly and polite the staff are. Sometimes the food delivery pick-ups disturb the atmosphere a bit, but that’s understandable — people are trying to survive in a world where AI and machines are taking over. Overall, I recommend stopping by.“

“Great efficient service here. I ordered a you pick two with apple something salad and the upgraded tomato soup. Love the new it seems as if it has more of a tomato base than a green base. My friend ordered a smaller version of the You pick two which is a cool option. She ordered a chicken salad sandwich and a delicious tomato soup each of the items with two selections comes with a side automatically, a delicious baguette, but I’m always careful to ask for the Apple.
