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.“

“We went to Capital Grille to celebrate a birthday, and were not surprised that everything was done with excellence. We started with the crab and lobster cake, big, hearty and deliicious with awonderful sauce accompaniment. Two steak dishes and Scallops with risotto were terrific, as were the truffle fires, which are too good to resist. Service was top notch. Like everywhere else, prices were pretty darn high.“

“We hadn't been to a Longhorn Steakhouse for a long time and were pleasantly surprised with our experience at this one in Sarasota. It is busy but has a nice ambiance, excellent food, and excellent service. Ariel, our waitress, did a fine job. The steaks were cooked as ordered. Entrees came with salads and a side. The Filet and Lobster Tail with sides of Mac and Cheese, the Filet with salad and a sweet potato, and the Salmon and Shrimp with salad and a side of Brussel sprouts were all delicious. I would not hesitate to return.“

“Absolutely wonderful experience the food is excellent, probably the best steak around... But with Chris has been consistent for over 25 years. It's great to see that it still is. They chain can always do better with their interior decor, but the waiter (Granville ) was fabulous and the food was delicious and prepared perfectly!“

“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.“

“We stopped in an hour before closing time this past Sunday after flying in from New York. Ester took care of us and made the experience even better. She made us feel welcomed and didn't rush our stay.

Our food came out within 10 minutes and everything was delicious as expected.“

“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!“

“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.“

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