“Very casual, local spot with great pizza and beer selection. We tried the vegan cheese on our veggie pie and was very happy with our choice. Happy to see vegan options available. Unfortunately I did not read the ingredients in the brussel sprouts but they were deliciousVegetarian options: Choose the pies without meat and you're safeDietary restrictions: Vegan Cheese available“
“We have had the BEST night hanging out at the bar! Brittney has been an AWESOME server. We can’t say enough great things about her. She was friendly, funny and super attentive. We have been coming to Siesta Key for 10 years, but this has been one of our best, most memorable nights. We plan to return this week for Happy Hour! We live Daiquiri Deck. Thanks again to Brittney for taking care of two midwesterners who were enjoying the NCAA tournament. Go Hawkeyes (women’s BB) and go Illini (men’s BB)!“
“This Place is a MUST Try in Gulf Gate, the food staff and atmosphere is so lovely. You feel like your transported to Turkey. I havent had one thing there I didnt like. Its also alot quieter than alot of restuants with loud music so it was a great atmosphere to bring guests you want to conversate with. LOVE “
“The food was amazing. I ordered a half pepperoni and half cheese pizza. It had a perfectly cooked crust and the flavor was immaculate. Other than the amazing food, the service was top tier. The owner took our order and engaged in conversations with us while maintaining professional. The atmosphere/ambiance in the restaurant was super positive. High energy and I felt the positivity through my whole meal. Definitely will go back whenever I'm in Sarasota.“
“Make a reservation, this place is busy. We went later on a Sunday night and still had a to wait.The food was excellent! I got the sesame tuna with baby bok choy and was not disappointed. The tuna "melted" in my mouth and everything is was seasoned to perfection. We took a gamble at a place we've never been and it was worth it.To be fair the place is beautiful inside. I really would like you to know that the inside seating is rather "intimate" with others around you. Our table was unusually close to the tables next to us. I imagine the reason for this is to maximize the amount of people who they can provide service to at the same time. One can't help but overhear conversations at the table next to them, and be sure that they hear yours.“
“If you come to this delicious place, make sure Justin is working as your server! He will help plan out your meal to fit what you are looking for. The food has such good, authentic flavor, I can promise you won’t be disappointed. Thank you for the excellent service, Justin!“
“The food is delicious! If you are looking for drinks, burgers, or pizza highly recommend. The staff is amazing. Tell Dave, David and D’Ann sent you. And don’t forget you can take your furry friends if their vaccinations are up-to-date and the have been spade or neutered.“
“99 Bottles is THE local spot in Sarasota for a terrific selection of beer and wine, delicious small bites, and the friendliest staff in town. The team is knowledgeable about everything they serve. Owner Mark makes a point to speak with everyone and chef Eddy makes amazing food. We spend more nights here than anywhere else, and we highly recommend for a great local vibe!“
“Good quality and tasty food and drinks, fast and friendly service, great competitive cheap prices. Really best fish&chips in town, salmon bowl is creative and awesome, taco bowl good portions and unique, tempura shrimp a must have, get the meatloaf if hungry, Irish stew will fill you up, burgers and home made mashed potatoes and mushrooms sauce, don't forget the jumbo all natural wings, onion rings, shrimp scampi, ..“
“The atmosphere was great. Our waitress Ashley was so sweet. But! the only dish that they know they're dead wrong for even throwing on a plate were the lettuce wraps. Lettuce wraps were trash. Chewy kabob-like meat with soft ass lettuce that felt closer to a rose petal than anything I'd see in the produce section. LOL. With all that said, everything else was pretty good considering. Thanks for the hospitality!“
“everything is wonderful ! we had lunch there, ordered the Brussel sprouts(a must) the bao bao buns and the chicken Tikka also a goat cheese pie for dessert. every single thing was perfect ! our server Ethan was great, very attentive and knowledgeable about every item. ! will definitely go back !“
“Great Happy Hour If you can score a seat at the bar or at a table in the bar area and it’s before 5:45pm, you can get a great deal. Drinks, including their house cocktails and most of their wines, are half off. There’s a nice list of small plates at excellent prices that are also available. We started with a couple of good cocktails. Then we shared the delicious happy hour fried shrimp. We followed that with the happy hour mussels—one of the best bowl of mussels I’ve had in a while. It was served with a basket of bread that was perfect to sop up the lovely mussel broth. Next we had the happy hour ceviche which was a generous serving and really tasty. We moved off the happy hour menu to get the Monkfish, which is discounted in the early evening. You don’t see monkfish on menus very often, and this one was very good. It comes with a soup or salad and we chose the delicious clam chowder. The plate it nicely composed with a starch and veg accompanying the monkfish. A shout out to our server, Barbara, who was very kind, helpful and efficient and moved us along at a pleasant, unrushed pace. We enjoyed our dinner very much and we hope to return.“
“Nice friendly staff. The food is delicious and has large portions.. Two people can split one dinner if you want. The chips are fresh and hot and some of the best salsa around.Has a nice counter bar at the back. Drinks and food are reasonably priced. They also have happy hour. My new favorite Mexican restaurant in the area even though they've been there for a while I just found them.“
“As always, the ambiance, food and service were delightful. This restaurant is an oasis of comfort, grace and uniquely prepared flavors and components. Scratch cooking always takes longer than par cooked bulk cooking found elsewhere, plan on sitting back, savoring your companions, the atmosphere, and cocktails-you can always hear yourself think and have great conversation. A unique experience.“
“My husband and I visited for the first time in October during our 3 week vacation. I cannot say good enough things about this place! The people there are so friendly and welcoming in true Irish spirit! The food was amazing and worth every penny spent! We even got to talk with the owner while we were there…both times. It was so good that we made sure to go back a second time before we came back home to Ohio. I’m so sorry we didn’t check the place out our first week there because that probably would have become our second home while we were there! Eileen is awesome!“
“I've seen so many different versions of "dive bar" I never know what to expect. Overall, I very much recommend this one. This is a nice bar with a dark yet cozy interior. It's comfortable, and there's a good bit of seating inside with a little more outside. There's one unisex bathroom here that was clean and stocked.The crowd seems to be "older" couples and tourists with some college kids from Ringling stopping by from time to time. Friendly bartenders and staff.It's got decent prices for the area and honestly the food is quite good. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the potstickers and poutine. I haven't gotten the wings yet, but everytime someone at my table orders them, I regret not getting any myself because they look very good.Parking: There's a parking lot around back. I've never had an issue finding a spot.“
“This was my second visit, I sat at the bar, craving just simple fish fry. The bartender was (not sure of her name) amazing to watch. She was kind, attentive, and fast, with a great personality.This visit sat outside, beautiful day, food was great, service was amazing. I wish drinks were bigger.“
“Amazing restaurant with excellent service and food! Service was great! Kyra, our waiter was the absolute best! Definitely recommend coming between 3-6 for half price apps and happy hour! Appetizers were amazing and very large portions for a great price!“
“We enjoy the food and service at The Tamiami Tap - and mostly appreciate the local, neighborhood spirit. Mark and his team make everyone welcome, whether it is a beautiful evening or the day after the hurricane… oh, and the nachos, sliders, pork sandwich, small little salad… and… and.. are great!“

“The food is incredible. This is last nights dinner being enjoyed for breakfast. Shrimp fajitas! I sub the corn tortillas for flour, and at home this morning, I added sautéed mushrooms and Greek yogurt to sub sour cream. The birria tacos, chicken quesadillas, Reynas plate, suedero taco’s, chicken tacos, and fish tacos are all delicious. We add all the hot sauces and smokey salsa. Diana is probably the biggest treat of all. She’s upbeat, helpful, explains the specials throughly and will make you smile for sure. Be sure to tip her well, as she works hard! Thanks Diana for being awesome. Sitting outside enjoying beautiful Sarasota weather while dining on fantastic food with my hubby and laughing and making a friend! Love this place. ❤️“
“My wife and I decided to try this restaurant on Saint Armand's Cirlcle in Sarasota since it was pretty lively and had outside seating- both positives when trying to handle a 2 year old during dinner without being a major bother. Even though it was a busy weekday evening in the circle (which is standard there), we were seated quickly and easily, and the service was nice throughout.I ordered the grouper tacos, which were rather good, and accented well by the seet plantains and black beans. My wife got a salad, my daughter got mac and cheese and my son the chicken thumbs, and they all seemed happy with their choices. The price is unsurprisingly pretty high considering, though that's standard for the area. Overall, it was a nice stop and worth a look if spending some time on the busy circle.“

“Loved this place so much, I'm planning on making many return visits. The food was great, the atmosphere was vibin' and the service was top notch. Loved the drinks, especially the frozen daiquiri in the refillable mug...what a deal!! Live music, that actually was good and played music I like was a special treat. Definitely recommend!“
“Just had the nicest time at the Elixir Tea House. My friend surprised me with a birthday high tea. I didn't know what to expect as I'm not a big tea drinker. When we got there, we were escorted to a cute little room with sofas and chairs and a table full of tapas sized sandwiches and desserts. We had great conversation in a cozy little room while we sampled six different teas (they had 80) and had a glass of champagne. The service was wonderful, the food was fantastic and the teas were absolutely lovely. What a special little place. I will definitely return!“
“This is a great place for karaoke I love the people! Unfortunately I have to make people aware of somebody who’s there on a regular basis. Tui is looking for another couch to sleep on. He’s abusive and he’s left my dogs with no food or water let them go to the bathroom all of my house all weekend while I was out of town. He’s looking for another place to squat. I had to kick him out. Buyer beware i’m sure a lot of you know him Tui. He can be a really nice guy but there’s a whole Nother side to that. He’s destroyed my relationship with my daughter. He is not a good person and he was somebody that I trusted“
“Definitely a nice little place, don't know how I really feel about it being that there were some questionable individuals there. However the bartender was very nice and definitely keeps watch over her bar and definitely cpuld tell she kept an eye out for the women which is a really good bartender if you ask me.But To be fair about seeing the questionable dudes I was there briefly to pick up my "lady":) ? after she had some drinks with some friends. So I highly doubt that's the Norm. Bar is clean and doesn't smell like a or look like a hole in the wall next time I will spent a little more time there .“
“Quaint little place on Osprey Avenue. The small interior leads to a very intimate atmosphere with a side bar available if you want to just stop in for a few drinks. Outstanding service with quick attention paid by the server. The burger was very good and cooked well, along with generous pieces of bacon. Seasoning on the fries was delicious, as well. A definite hidden hole-the-wall gem that should not be missed.“
“We were looking for a good place to eat lunch. We found Mellow Mushroom, and it was way better than Mellow. It was extravagant. ? Never had better pizza before. We got the house special pizza, and mmmmmmm this was amazing. The style of the restaurant was unique, and the restaurant was very clean, even the bathrooms! Overall nothing bad to say. Straight gas?Kid-friendliness: ??“

“Layout/atmosphere*Exterior of building looks like a red barn; horseshoe bar in center of room; nine TVs; internet jukebox; pool table; foosball table; golf arcade game; five seat window counter; smoking permitted; parking in front; tables outsideFood/drink*No food menu*Snack food (chips, pretzels)*“
“Good local hang out. Nice patrons. No crazy, drunken, stumbling, spilling drinks on you types. Drunk, yes. Frat party atmosphere, no. Late 20s through mid 40s crowd. It's Sarasota, so a few older. Beer and wine only. Fridge full of Twisted Tea, White Claw, those types of drinks. Let's you bring in food--we brought in pizza. No smoking inside. Outside high top tables, inside table area and bar, and one FREE pool table in the back. Wish the music was a little louder, but with all the fun talking you have to talk loud anyway. Concrete floor, bathrooms sanitary. Let's you run a tab. Overall chill, good ol' boy, welcoming, local spot.“
“Visited for St Patrick's Day. They handled the crowd very well and with good humor. It's a small pub and most people stayed outside in the parking lot or in back. Nobody got rowdy and the atmosphere was fun. They provided a limited menu of corned beef sandwiches and Reuben sandwiches plus a kid's menu. They had music, including an excellent piper. Shamrock is a soccer-focused pub and is probably Ground Zero for big tournaments. My only suggestion would be to have plastic bags on hand for those of us who did carryout (five sandwiches + chips). The sandwiches were very tasty!“
“I was there the night that the recent 1 star review was left.That group came in very rude and almost seemed like they were looking for a fight from the very beginning. The males in the group were threatening to kill people and the girls were screaming at poor Hannah, calling her white trash and worse. The females in the group even started to verbally assault me before I ever spoke a word. Their behavior was so wildly out of line that another patron called the police.Hannah has served me many times and is always the kindest and most professional bartender to EVERYONE! As far as water getting thrown I didn't see it and saw no evidence of it happening after the group left.“
“Was visiting from out of town when we stumbled into this establishment. The bartenders and patrons were very friendly. I had inquired about a specialty drink (Surfer on Acid) and instead of brushing me off, they took the time to look up the recipe and delivered on my request. Thanks for the hospitality!“
“Mike and the crew do a great job making this bar "your" bar. While they do not serve food, I believe you can bring in your favorite eats from nearby, and there are plenty of choices. Sure, there may be places that lend themselves to being trendier, with loud music and a barrage of lights, but this place makes you feel relaxed and at home. Clearly this is a family ran establishment, and they gladly invite you to be part of that! Thanks guys, see you all again soon!“
“LGBTQ means,more than what most people think.look up the true meaning of each category qnd you will find out how the words mean more than just what most people really know what they mean LGBTQ is a way people want to be inside of life without the crude qnd senseless meanings others think.being one of these is more about love.respect honor and friendship. Example QUEER mean ====HAPPY PEOPLE SO before you judge someone else think before you speak .you'll find probly a little of these in yourself somewhereParking: They need more spaces“
“Large selection of draft beers, good selection of hamburgers etc. if you are a Ford fan, they have old model A (I think) chassis inside, Ford server uniforms, cloth napkins held with a hose clamp and washrooms using car parts for sinks and urinals, very cool !“
“Place is very nice! Every Thursday they hold Smash Tournaments and it gets pretty busy. Service is great! Although it is somewhat slow compared to other places as there is only one person manning the entire operation, but the place is nice so I didnt mind the wait and it is not too long. I highly recommend it if you like anime as well! The decoration is great and they have anime running in the TV.The food is good, especially the fat boy ramen, and the coffee is great!“
“This place was awesome! Food was excellent and service was good. You can sit right on the water which is nice. We had the seafood stuffed oysters, seafood stuffed shrimp, and fried seafood platter (they let us have a few of the items blackened instead of fried). All the food was excellent! The best seafood stuffing I have ever had. Best meal of our trip.“
“We ate the classic cheeseburger, fries and chicken wings with the homemade sauce here. It was tasty, cozy and the service was quick and friendly. Parking right in front of the door. Prices per person including drinks approx. $20. It's a sports bar. 12 TVs, but not loud.“
“Loved this little place! A little unconventional as you order your food up front and then pick it up yourself... But it was so kid friendly right on the bay where the kids can look and play in the sand! My kids loved this place as well! Drinks were absolutely spot on. get the Pina colada with the shooter on top you won't be disappointed ?Kid-friendliness: They are on the bay and the kids can play in the sand and watch the water without you being nervous about them falling in and hurting themselves...“
“Took a unplanned roadtrip up north, and decided to try out this upscale Mexican restaurant off of Tamiami Trail in Sarasota. It was an inspiring experience as I made friends at the bar and great conversation with Nancy, the bartender. The ambiance, the food, the wine, and good conversation made my day!“
“This is by far the best bar in not only Gulf Gate, but Sarasota as well. Not only is the owner Brandon an amazing person, but the bartenders are top tier. They make you laugh and want to have a good day also. I will never go to another bar.“
“Anytime I'm in the area I have to stop by. Been drinking at that bar for 20 years and it's changed owners but my feeling toward the place hasn't. Shot n a beer with a good conversation and you may catch a game on. Even got offered pizza last time I was there. Great place.“
“Sinbad was amazing! He made our time at the tiki bar so much fun. The Jell-O shots were so tasty (and strong) and he made very good suggestions about what drink to order. He’s so friendly and sitting at his bar was a such a good time. He is a siesta key staple! Go visit him!“
