Suzanne was absolutely right: Hidden gem! Fun atmosphere, and surprisingly good food. We had the Crabby Cakes and the Quinoa Salad, a pairing I'd do again and again: the crab cake was tender crab, lightly sautéed, and delightfully seasoned (refreshing after the crunchy, rubbery cakes found elsewhere). The kale and other lettuces were perfectly dressed, topped with a toasted quinoa: a delight of flavors and textures! Nice wine-by-the-glass offerings and we had a refreshing Prosecco. Our now favorite eat-at-the-bar go-to place!

WOW! What a great experience! The service was wonderful, the food was amazing! Superb date night experience.

We absolutely LOVE the food and service here! It's one of our fave “Sarasota Secrets”. Cocktails are a bit pricey but food is top notch. Thank you Julianna!

Jersey is AMAZING! Came down by myself the first couple of days of my stay and she made me feel so comfortable! Can't wait to have another great pool day with her!

Jersey is the best. She was able to make the most refreshing and crisp margarita I’ve had in a minute. As someone who grew up in Sarasota, this is very hard to find. Stop by asap!

Walking by, and spontaneously stepped into WINK WINK MODERN LOUNGE, as was kinda lost in the pleasant interesting neighborhood. Amazing service, welcome, and thirst-quenching creative non-alcohol juice drink from server at the bar. Fascinating tour of the attached hotel, Sarasota Modern which turns out is a Marriott, one of my faves. Pool, jacuzzi and a cold-plunge tucked away preciously. Nice friendly staff running the place.

This is the second time we visited.
The restaurant is part of The Modern hotel. It is very difficult to park there but the hotel has valet parking and your ticket will be validated by your server.
The restaurant has a large round bar in the middle of the room with tables around it and a small additional dining area.
The menu is modern American and changes regularly. The food quality and service are outstanding. The roasted Brussel sprouts are always superb. The meatloaf and grouper dish were also outstanding. The last one is named The Tourist Trap. Not an inviting name, but I would not mind being trapped in such a place for a long time.
It is not a cheap place but the food quality and service matches any of the luxury restaurants in the downtown area.

The reviews were great. It was attached to a Moxie hotel but there was hardly anyone in the restaurant the food was good, but not great and the prices were very high considering the whole experience would not be going back again

went for just drinks for my birthday ! good cocktails, cute environment, quiet. Didn't get food but menu looked yummy

Cute place.
Interesting food options, great presentations and tasty beverages and food!
Only thing odd was there was NO one else inside the restaurant... and few people at the bar and several in outdoor patio. It was 7ish on a Wednesday, but still-
Lovely place, nice vibe.
