Our server was speedy, kind, and had honest and helpful recommendations for the food. Everything was fast, fresh, and delicious.

“We were able to get seats at the bar. We enjoyed ourselves. The bartender Jen was great. It was busy and she was on her toes as she was the only bartender but made sure everyone was taken care of. The expeditor was impressive. His name was Brody. It was great to see a young man being so attentive to what he was doing and making sure that the staff knew what was going on. Our food was delicious.“

“Great location, excellent food and wonderful service. Lyuda was our server and she was awesome!!!“

“We’ve been to Juicy Seafood a few times now and it’s officially one of our go-to spots. Every single visit has been consistently amazing — and that says a lot. The food is always fresh, hot, and packed with flavor. The seafood boils are absolutely 🔥… perfectly seasoned, generous portions, and messy in the best possible way. But what really keeps us coming back is the service. Friendly, attentive, and fast every time we’ve gone in. It’s rare to find a place where both the food and the service are this consistently good. If you love seafood and haven’t been yet… you’re missing out. Safe to say we’ll be regulars for a long time. 👏🦐🦀“

“Our favorite place! We go a few times a month for NE steamers, and occasionally a few other items! Today we both had NE steamers, I had a bowl of Manhattan clam chowder and my boyfriend had whole belly fried clam plate. The chowder was delicious. I have had Manhattan chowder a few other places but this was chuck full of clams and ingredients! Our server told me they make all chowder and soups homemade. Next time I’ll try NE chowder, only reason I didn’t was because I can’t have flour and most have that in it My boyfriend also loved his clams and we both always love the steamers. They have a fish market also so you can get something to take home and cook for the next evening! We always sit at the bar. All servers are friendly and polite. We have been there tons of times and always had excellent service and fabulous food! Prices are very reasonable and we highly recommend Captain Brian’s! They are closed on Sundays . Love love this gem of a place!!“

“Always a nice fun and relaxing time at the Daiquiri Deck on the circle“

“Last night we celebrated our 27th anniversary. Cannot believe it's been 27 years! We dined Deep Lagoon Seafood & Oyster House - Lakewood Ranch, FL I cannot say enough about Deep Lagoon. Even we arrived we had a reservation and I asked for a game near the window, but there was a small wait, like 10 or 15 minutes. No big deal, we waited patiently as I figured they needed to set up a table or wait for diners to leave. Once we were seated we ordered drinks and an appetizer. The manager brought us Crab Rangoon appetizer on the house because of the wait. We were surprised and assured her we weren't upset at all about the wait. We had a lovely meal, calamari was fantastic, the scallops and swordfish were outstanding. We Donaghy with mandarin orange creme brulee which they gave us on the house as well. Our server Josh was knowledgeable and helpful and very pleasant. Prices are good as well. We will definitely be back!“

“Our visit was a Christmas gift from our son. The food was delicious. The drinks were on point. But the customers service was of top quality. We were greeted quickly for our 8pm reservation. Our waiter went above and beyond to make our first experience at this location a very pleasant one. We will definitely be dining here again. Thank you“

“What a pleasant surprise! I had dinner at Antoine‘s last night and I’m still talking about what a fabulous dinner it was. The food was superb, and the atmosphere was quaint and inviting. Olivier and the staff were on top of service. I will definitely be back!“

“Great experience. Friendly bar crew. Always asking if you need anything Bar food good“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Without a doubt the best restaurant in the area. Perfect, old style French. Family run.“

“Crafted cocktails are amazing - original, beautifully presented and quite tasty. Food delicious and well-presented. The fresh bread that evening was outstanding! Had a great table with a view. Valet was excellent. Whole experience top-notch.“
