“We had dinner at Siegfried's Restaurant on Feb. 26th - our third meal there and we always leave with big smiles on our faces. The schnitzel and sauerbraten are both excellent, as are the sides and desserts. The staff is warm and engaging and we were so happy to meet and speak with the chef/owner. The restaurant is in one of the cozy-looking cottages on Fruitville Rd and is the perfect setting for this authentic German restaurant. Be sure you make a reservation and be prepared to enjoy a fantastic German meal!“

Our server “A” was amazing and an absolute blast! The food was fabulous! The clam chowder was hot and delicious. The calamari was one of the best we have had and we would definitely recommend getting the hogfish fish and chips….soooo good! The icing on the cake was the family feel from the staff who have all worked there for 3+ years. We are here for a week and might have to go back again! It was that good!“

“Michael's on East (MOE) is one of the best fine dining establishments in Sarasota and has been in business for nearly 40 years. Ive been a customer for nearly 30 of those 40 years and despite its maturity, MOE is still hot, hopping and a crowd pleaser for those who enjoy great food, wines and service. During its nearly four decades, MOE has been wowing patrons with its fine cuisine, decor, and outstanding service. Don't be surprised if you see actors, comedians and musicians who might be performing at the Van Wezel during the winter season, sitting next to you because the concierge at their hotel recommended MOE as one of the desirable restaurants for a sensational meal, wine and service. MOE is rich in Sarasota heritage and is the perfect choice to celebrate a special occasion with that very special guest or guests. It's a delight in every way.“

“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.“

“Some of the best Indian food I’ve ever eaten in the United States. I’ve visited London and had the Indian cuisine there, this restaurant gives them a run for their money! Impeccable service and very clean/modern ambience. We ate family style and everything was incredible. If you’re feeling up for Indian food and you’re in the area, go here!!“

“Delicious and fresh seafood! Love this place! Brothers Jose and Juan are great team and always make you fell welcome.“

“I read the reviews online (I’m from out of state) and couldn’t be happier w the cake I ordered for my father’s 80th birthday. The customer service was outstanding, especially the woman who I met in the store when I picked up my order. She was such a lovely person and so helpful. She helped me pick out some other pastries and helped me carry my goodies to the car. The chocolate buttercream frosting on the cake reminded me of the icing my grandfather used to make. Everything was wonderful and so delicious. Everyone loved the cake! Thank you!“

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.“

“If you’re looking for an amazing spot for fresh ceviche, this is the place we’ve gone here a couple times and every single time it is spot on it is hot fresh delicious the service except is exceptional and the restaurant is super cute and authentic.

“Amazing fresh food and great service! Plus super creative offerings!“

“The go to spot for breakfast is in downtown Sarasota“

“Quality of food. Life long member of the owners from Adrian Michigan. I don’t understand when I read comments as for “not authentic Mexican ingredients”. Does the sign not say “Tex-Mex”? In Adrian Michigan we have a large migrant population that prefers other Mexican restaurants over the grasshopper. Huge reason is that the taste buds of visiting Mexicans are used to hot, very hot. As I live here in Mexico I cannot sample any hot sauce because it’s too hot. So I bring my own hot sauce with me when I eat out. I don’t consider the menu as Tex Mex. The family founders brought recipes from Mexico but again, had to tone down the spicy seasoning for the northerners. HOWEVER, if you ask for the extra hot seasoning, they will make you a dishes that will set your mouth on fire upon request. I can’t explain the next topic, but that no one has complained but their menu prices that seem to never increase. As for the cheese dipping sauce? I haven’t been to the Sarasota location. But it’s a wise-tail in Adrian that the cook staff has to sign NDA’s just to know the recipe. Everyone has tried to replicate it but no one has ever gotten it correct. Linda/co-owner has been a lifelong full-time employee that worked every day beside her now ex husband that runs and operates the original Adrian Michigan establishment where his parents created the restaurant. She only hires the best staff and the staff are lifelong dedicated employees. In Adrian, no one visits for the decorations or environment because it’s nothing close to impressive, they visit for the food and service and the staff that brings you refills before knowing that you need one.“

“This place is awesome!! What a huge amazing set up and a large variety of high quality delicious craft beers made right there. In fact you can see the whole operation! They even can their amazing beers. The best part is the prices!!! I have been to many breweries and so many of them are charging up to TWICE as much as they do for these awesome beers. The staff is just as amazing. Next time I come down I will have to get back here!!“

“good authentic korean food with all the sides one could ask for“

“When we were seated the booth was a little tight for 7 of us, but as busy as they were Richard moved us to a bigger table. The service we received here from Richard and Nathan was exceptional and they were extremely busy. The food was very good as well, with huge portions. Had a great meal!“

“Hidden Gemstone! While visiting FL my group found this place on a whim and I am soooo glad we went! Amazing authentic food. Amazing and friendly staff! Got to meet Heidi herself and her energy was infectious~ quick witted with sarcasm, she had us dying of laughter!! I will definitely be back for the food and the laughs!“

“I love Skillets. Try the Bacon Avacado Skillet with egg whites and a multigrain pancakes! 🥞“

“A terrific place to dine and have a great meal. Plus, kudos for coming back after the storm. Muchas Gracias.“

“Great friendly place, best thin crust pizza ever“

“Really Great Food ,and service.“

“Really great food and portion sizes. Menu is 90% Ⓥ and has meat and dairy options for some reason, too. They swear they separate grills ect for meat vs veg prep. It’s in A swank part of Rosemary District in downtown Sarasota. Very active street with lots of cafes and restaurants nearby. Really liked their kale Cesar salad!“

“Great place and great people and the food was great Dan and Nick were the best can’t wait to go back the special burrito was outstanding“
