11 Best Steakhouses in Sarasota

“The food and service did not disappoint. My wife had the mahi tuna salad. It was excellent and crunchy as described on the menu I had scallops. They were perfectly cooked and very tender. Service was very good. Everything arrived timely hot, and the waiter did not hover have eaten at hundreds of restaurants and this is one of the better onesnot exceptionally expensive and in a mall but quite good food and service and I highly recommend.“

“I dined at this high-end restaurant and the experience exceeded all expectations. Impeccable service, outstanding attention to detail, and truly cultured, professional staff. The food was exquisitely prepared and beautifully balanced. A place that reflects true quality and sophistication.“

“I took a friend there for her birthday. Food and service were both excellent. The restaurant itself is noisy with loud music blaring through the speakers. This in turn caused loud people sitting next to us to be even louder. Because of the noise we were unable to carry on any sort of meaningful conversation. Would have stayed longer for dessert and coffee but went to my house instead to do that in peace and quiet.“

“We have visited all (27) Ruth Chris within the state of Florida and this location was by far one of the best. The moment we entered the restaurant, we were met with a smile and a welcoming greeting. We were promptly seated, even though we arrived early for our reservation. Service was excellent. The ambiance and overall appearance were amazing! Steak was prepared with perfection. Certainly, will be returning to this location (Lakewood Ranch).“

“My husband and I just stopped in on our way home from Alabama and we were absolutely blown away by the food here! My husband’s steak could be cut with a fork it was so tender! Definitely looking forward to stopping in on our next road trip!“

“This was our first visit. I say first because we will definitely be returning. What a great experience. We went on a random Tuesday, so I knew it wasn’t going to be terribly busy (off season bonus!) Amelia, our server, was so friendly and knowledgeable-and just the right amount of attentive. Gave some good recommendations and both our selections were excellent. Steak was done exactly as requested and was, as my husband puts it… like butter. Au just was off the hook. Basically, if you are looking for a casual place to enjoy a really good steak (or anything on their menu), this place is it. Oh and we also visited their butcher counter and brought some of their selections home with us.“

“We celebrated our 41st anniversary here last night and we were thoroughly impressed. First of all the dining room is beautiful, the staff was amazing and we were served by the manager and general manager. The table was nicely decorated with a card signed by the entire staff and rose pedals were so beautiful spread across the table. The food was delicious and prepared perfectly. From the lobster escargot appetizer to the dry aged ribeye to the huge sides of pancetta corn and Gruyère au gratin potatoes everything was on point. Best steak we have had in our 41 years and best service as well. Forget other steakhouses and come to Hyde Park.“

“This Longhorn steakhouse on Fruitville Road is one of our go to’s when we want the best mushroom appetizer in town, and the bone in ribeye is not to be missed. They have one of the best chicken dishes in there Parmesan crusted chicken and they also have excellent choices for side dishes. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. They make sure your eating experience is very enjoyable. I highly recommend if you’re in the area to stop in checkout their very vast menu, I can honestly say we have never had a bad meal there.“

“Jillian is an amazing waitress, who is very attentive and made the meal an enjoyable experience. The food was incredible as always and I would highly recommend stopping in here for lunch or dinner. If you have a chance to have Julian as a server, you’re in for a treat.“

“Celebrated our anniversary here for the second time and probably will for all to come. The food is absolutely delicious and the steaks are always cooked to perfection. Our waiter William was the best; efficient, personable and engaging; he took excellent care of us. The anniversary desert was delectable. Everyone on staff made our special day truly memorable. Thank you Ruth's Chris Sarasota. See you next year!“

“Wonderful service and delicious food Friday night. Table of 7. It was perfect.“
