“Absolutely adored this lunch spot today! Great waiter, atmosphere, drinks and tasty food!“

“So delicious, everything is home made. It is a small intimate restaurant and the owners/chefs are so welcoming. The pasta is so delicious and the focaccia bread to the mussels appetizer to the lamb sauce over fettuccine was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The homemade mixture they serve with the bread is unlike anything we have ever had and it was their grandma’s recipe that made it extra special. I would suggest a reservation for this hidden gem!“

“Great food, service, and atmosphere!“

“Der Dutchman in Sarasota is a gem. The food is hearty, fresh, and consistently delicious — especially the fried chicken and homemade pies. The buffet is always well stocked, and the bakery items are worth taking home. Staff are friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere feels warm and family-oriented. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a traditional Amish-style meal in Sarasota.“

“you added a bunch of meat options, and took out some very good vegan options. Very disappointing. You used to be famous for your Rice tots not nearly what they once were.

“I submitted a review through Google, but I will include it here as well. I cannot recommend this shop enough. First time coming was in early Summertime. Came in with friends, craving some ice cream. Not only did this place deliver, I have come back time and time again since receiving the same incredible service and atmosphere Ryan and his team brings. The rotating flavors are a wonderful dream of variety. If anyone is ever looking for a place for that sweet tooth, or a beautiful way to end your Downtown venture, achieve Great Heights. You will leave soaring through Great Heights.“

“We had dinner last night and can’t stop talking about how much we enjoyed the food and service! We were celebrating my husband’s birthday and the host treated us to prosecco while we waited for our table. The filet, the halibut, the lobster tails, the desserts (especially the chocolate cake!) was all absolutely delicious!! Our server was wonderful as well! Very personable and had great menu recommendations. We will be back!!“

Talked me through all the appetizers. I got all the ceviche dishes. Tried a vegetarian one. It was all so good! I loved the ceviche mixto most but all of it was so fabulous. I love it there. I am so going back! 10 stars“

“Highly recommend this venue for your special occasion- the owner exceeded our expectations at every level. From the decor to the food- she made my daughter’s bridal shower exquisite!!!

“We ordered a custom carrot cake for my mom’s 65th birthday back in November 2025. Ordering was quick, easy, and Richard was so helpful! The cake design was so beautiful and exactly what we asked for. Not to mention, it tasted absolutely delicious as well. Will definitely be ordering again.“

“Fresh delicious food, low prices. If you find the bowls too pricey, you can go on the app and order a la carte items, sides are $2.75-4.75 each and Protein a la carte main options start at $5.75 mushrooms $5.80-7.50 for the chicken ,up to $9 for their grass fed steak . Salmon at $10.25
Lots of vegan and vegetarian options the mushrooms are amazing and most sides are gluten free and dairy free the Mac and cheese sadly is not.
But it's better than Panera their cheddar Mac is $10.49 now! compared to naked farmer at just $4.75! it's my hubby's new favorite treat he's been craving their mac n cheese since he first tried it.“

OMG I dont have words for how fantastic this place is but with every bite we found ourselves saying “Wow”! Please please please open a Waffle Monkey in Apollo Beach!!!!“
