“We eat here at least once a week outside and we absolutely love every bit of our food! It is a bit hard to find at first....but well worth it ! It closes early but we go at any time of the day and they will serve breakfast for lunch or vice versa. I love their COFFEE and Spinach/bacon omelette and their delicious biscuits and grits and their seasonal chicken biscuit with egg and pimento cheese and bacon jam was unbelievable ! We love their mimosas and all their fancier pancakes and french toast options. Great shrimp and grits ! All of those are the best I have had.We absolutely LOVE ANNIE and we always hope she will be our waitress. She is super friendly and will answer any of your questions. She is always smiling ! You should go....you will love it !!“
“This place is always great. I don't think there's a single thing on the menu I haven't thoroughly enjoyed.My last trip was a Monte Cristo sandwich and I love their spin on it.Super convenient place to swing in and grab a coffee & scone if you're in a rush too!“
“I was good, not excellent! But to be fair, the prices were not bad. But, beware they add 20% for a tip automatically. Which is not that bad, but they don’t make you aware, or at least if it was on the menu I didn’t see it. I would have not been happy if we received bad service, but I would say the service like the food, was good, but not excellent. Also, to be fair I have eaten at quite a few restaurants that made you feel like you were a rockstar, so I have a high bar to get a 5 star.“
“I recently moved to the Bradenton, Florida area and once I found out that there was a Skyline Chili nearby I had to go get me some of that wonderful Cincinnati Chili.It has been at least 8 years since I've walked into a Skyline Chili restaurant. They're pretty much the same since most of them feature memorable of the Cincinnati Reds and Bengals.The one in Lakewood Ranch looks like the typical modern day version of Skyline Chili(as a kid I would eat at the one downtown Hamilton, Ohio that looked like it was set in the 1940s).Parking: Shared parking in a shopping center.Kid-friendliness: I've been eating Skyline Chili since I was a kid in the early 1980's. So I know kids of all ages would enjoy eating Skyline.“
“We recently had my brothers funeral brunch there. Everything from the time we walked in the door was fantastic! Great service, beautiful setup. My family and friends loved the food! So much of it too.Staff was so kind and sincere during this heartbreaking time for our family.Highly recommend it for any occasion or just a great dinning experience.Thank you River Grille !“
“The food was amazing! We stopped here for lunch before noon on a Monday in March.We had a part of four and ordered the Bottomless Chips & Salsa with Beer Cheese. They hit the spot and we ended up getting a second round (for free, since it’s bottomless). The beer cheese really makes it special and was delicious.Everyone ordered something different for lunch. I ordered the Chop (salad) and really liked it. It had real bacon and the ranch dressing tasted awesome.My husband ordered the Triple Decker Turkey, my son got the Buffalo Chicken sandwich and my daughter got the Classic Burger. See photos. Everyone loved their meal. The fries were great!We really wanted to eat outside (honestly that never happens, but here the weather was beautiful). But, it was really windy and the sign outside blew over and it was just too windy for us, so we moved inside. The outside seating is plentiful and has a nice view.I counted tried to count the number of televisions, I got 15 but that might not be accurate. They have a lot of TV’s.This place had a great vibe.As far as service, we had to flag down the waitress a couple times, since she didn’t stop by and ask if we wanted more chips/salsa (you could see the beer cheese was gone and salsa was almost empty) and when we were ready for the check. I’d recommend letting the wait staff know that they should check back in more often. The place only had a few tables filled so it wasn’t super busy.We don’t live in Florida, but would definitely go back to this restaurant next time we visit and highly recommend.This restaurant is in a great location within Lakewood Ranch in the Main Street area.Parking: There are a few parking spots right out front or there is a parking lot that is walkable that has plenty of parking.“
“I've been trying to put things off the menu, and I am really impressed with their ribeye steak, their prime rib, and their breakfast buffet on the weekends of filet mignon Benedict. Theirwedge salad is to die for.I don't care for their desserts, And I don't care for their fried foods, like their chicken fried steak or fried chicken, which are chicken breasts. I've had five different servers, and all of them were really professional and quite good. I've become a regular.“
“Had an awesome first brunch experience here! The French toast hit the spot — perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, and that syrup was amazing. Plus, the whipped cream? Chef's kiss! We also dug into a steak omelette which was just as tasty. Def coming back for more!“
“Quisiera expresar mi gratitud hacia nuestro mesero ANDREI por su excelente servicio durante nuestra visita. Su atención fue impecable, siempre atento a nuestras necesidades y brindando recomendaciones acertadas. Su amabilidad y profesionalismo hicieron que nuestra experiencia fuera aún más placentera. ¡Gracias por hacer de nuestra comida una experiencia memorable!"“
“I went to Circo for food and drinks with my friend's and had a great experience. Our bartender Nik was amazing and made me a jalapeño mango margarita and it was the BEST margarita I’ve ever had! I highly recommend anyone to come here if they’re looking for good drinks, food and amazing service.“
“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.“
“Absolutely hands down one of the best meals I’ve had all year. Highly recommend the gnocchi, the raw scallop appetizer, and the tartine appetizer. And for the rest of my life, if someone asked me what I’d want for my last meal, I’d say “give me the gnocchi at Meliora”. I cannot emphasize how much it stood out despite everything else being so good already. On my first bite, I had to close my eyes and stop chewing so that I could comprehend how amazing it tasted and how light the texture was. Throw everything you’ve ever described as “pillowy” in the trash because this gnocchi should be the only thing in the dictionary under that word. While the drinks are pricey and the meal overall was higher than average for a night out, it is 100% worth it. We were swept off our feet.“
“Updated 3/30/24 with more photos.We visited my parents in Sarasota and this was our first time at Seasons 52. We loved it! The atmosphere was awesome, the food was great!I love their scallops, they are just perfect along with the risotto. On a more recent visit 3/24/24) they had asparagus with the Scallops instead of the broccoli.My parents love the Salmond salad, but my dad commented that on our most recent trip (3/24/24) that the salmon was a little dry.From 3/24/24, my husband said the lamb was good but a little chewy, he had to chew a lot.There is plenty of parking in the parking lot on either side of the mall.Parking: The Sarasota restaurant is located in a shopping mall, so there’s lots of free parking.“
“We tried Tripletail for the first time and it did not disappoint. Our stunning server, Lily, was very attentive and knowledgeable. My husband tried a smoked bourbon and said it was very good, I had a tasty white sangria. We shared the shrimp and crab dip app. Our entrees were delicious. We had the tripletail, and we highly recommend this. I had the crab stuffed shrimp and they were equally as good. We highly recommend visiting Tripletail Seafood in Sarasota.“
“Such a lovely place on the water with a great ambiance, good food and live music daily. It's a fun place. We tried their file fish and liked it better than the grouper. Had the file fish Rubin and it was good. I had a grouper sandwich blackened and thought it was dry and the bun was hard but the side salad was an excellent choice instead of fries. It's a fun place to meet friends. Will definitely go back. Great service and wait staff was excellent!“
“I can’t say enough good about Rosemary and Thyme! The food and drinks are wonderful, and the service is next level. From management to bartenders to servers- such positive interactions, attention to detail, and thoughtfulness. We always book on open table, and typically go for special occasions, and they’ve made it so special each time!“
“The minute you walk in the door you’re treated like family. The food is delicious and a great value for your money.Our server Chris was pleasant and very attentive to our needs.Every time I eat here Jaider and Jonathan are the best. They make sure everything is right and always go above and beyond.Parking: A huge lot is available.“
“I thought this little breakfast spot was excellent! I got a veggie omelette that was delicious! My wife’s spinach and feta omelette was great too! My daughter had pancakes that looked awesome too! Too bad we live in Cleveland and can’t visit more often! Also, it’s nice that they were considerate of little people and children when installing the urinal so close to the floor! ?“

“We found this little place on line and were missing our Greek places from back in NY. We picked a day that someone hit a power pole so no lights. That did not stop them from serving, all but the soda machine. Amazing Gyro and Chicken Slovakia. Our server was a sweetheart and made sure everyone was taken care. Best Pita we have had in a while!!!! Thank you for making lemonade of or lemons!!!!“
“We tried Vernona Gourmet - Authentic Hungarian Restaurant earlier this week and we were very impressed and happy with the whole experience. Definitely in the rotation now. I have a new favorite comfort food now too - chicken paprikash - yum!!“
“First time diner here. Great food, great mix of flavors, and well prepared with large portions. Probably the best Trout Almandine I have ever had. It's may not be as well known as its next door neighbor, but the food and service to us are better at 481 Gourmet. Give it a try.“
“Always great! Lizzy is polite and attentive. What is not to like. So many choices of dishes or just go to the hot or cold salad bars. Amish food at its best. If your a pie, cake, or pastry person you will have a smile on your face from the choices. If it's Amish donuts you favor this is a must. They also offer occasional theatrical /performance in the adjacent hotel which are always thoughtful and fun to see for a small fee. You will be happy with your choice for breakfast , lunch or dinner here.“
“I took my nephew on a date to this incredible restaurant. We loved the atmosphere and all the lights. The food was the best I’ve had in Sarasota so far. The beef carpaccio was for sure the best I’ve ever had. I have been coming to the area for the last 22 years and I will definitely be back to this incredible restaurant.“
“This is definitely one of my new favorite restaurants! The food is amazing and they have tons of vegan and gluten free options. Best vegan sushi you can imagine and they have such a great variety of options in general. Shout out to our server Shayne - he was so kind, attentive and pleasant and really made our night. He made excellent recommendations and was really knowledgeable about the menu.“
“How does this place only have a 4.1 out of 5 rating, 4.8 MINIMUM!!! We come here three to four times a year every time we come on vacation in Sarasota and I’ve never had more of a consistently perfect meal anywhere. Prime rib is literally perfection. Professional waitstaff and excellent bartenders. Manager has always right before your meal has finished stopped at the table to make sure you’re happy. A+“
“It was pretty good. The food was good, but it was not great considering the price. We spent $40 for two meals. One breakfast of eggs and bacon, nothing fancy. And I had the chicken wrap. We had waters to drink. The place was super busy, so the servers were really spread too thin. Maybe they were short-staffed? The portions were really big, so that was good. Although we didn't sit outside, it looked really nice! Good place for the snowbirds, but as a local, we have other top choices!“
“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 !“
“Arrived early and got a prime spot on the outdoor patio yesterday. The service is fast for how busy it is and the food is AMAZING! from the shrimp and grits, to the lemon blueberry pancakes to just coffee even...this is a must stop while in Siesta Key! Worth the wait!“
“Massive shoutout to the manager Branick, Jared, Will and Audrey for doing an INCREDIBLE job for our party of 50. It was a dinner party for a coworker that retired and they took the guess work out of everything, handled our huge group and all their needs like champions and helped make this night unforgettable. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough and will be using them for all of our future needs. THANK YOU ALL SOOOO MUCH!!“
“What a great late lunch choice! Summer was a very professional and attentive server! The food was hot and tasted delicious! The french fries are fantastic and the nashville hot chicken sandwich is amazing! This place did not disappoint!! Excellent!!!“
“Visited here with my friends today and we were greeted with Sarah as our server. She was absolutely wonderful and extremely attentive with us. She always made sure our drinks were filled and had an amazing personality. I will gladly be coming back here next time. Sarah truly gave us an experience of a lifetime.“
“Love this place. Great menu and food. Service is good and the atmosphere is really nice. A great place to take the family for a nice evening out. The billionaire burger and truffle fries are quite good and the Lobster Maki Roll is the best sushi I've ever had. A definite recommend when in Siesta Key!UPDATE: Came back 6 years later and it's still AWESOME! One of my favorite restaurant's, period! Had the Lobster Maki Roll again and truffle fries. We had 6 people in our group and everyone had great things to say. This is a must-go in Siesta Key!“
“Locally owned by good people, the service is outstanding, the food is consistently delicious and hot. Would recommend to anyone who asks and everyone I know! I would give them 6 stars if I could ?Kid-friendliness: Kid and pet friendly ? Seating is available inside and outside!“
“A nice little cafe with patio seating in downtown Sarasota. The ambiance is very nice with the restaurant's indoor and outdoor seating - you can people watch during the farmers market. Food quality is superb here. The breakfast bowl was delicious in every way. Service was efficient but not the absolute best. Prices are a little bit inflated for the offerings, but typical Sarasota fare nowadays.“
“My husband and I were visiting from Illinois and decided to try your restaurant. We were extremely happy with the food and service. Quinn was super nice and very knowledgeable about the menu. He deserves a raise!!!! Kathy & Robert Miller Peoria Il“

“Outstanding food and service! After living here full-time for nearly a year, we finally found a place with superb filet! While seafood is readily available, I have struggled to find a good steak or filet. We went here with friends, who all enjoyed their surf and turf, but the quality of the filet I had was good enough for me to write this review. A special thanks to Sean our server for making recommendations on both the food and the wine, outstanding! We will definitely be back!“
“Well, much of the food at the Yard House is excellent, what we're coming to believe is that they really know how to cook meat properly. The pork chop that I had was the best pork chop that I've ever had in my life and the steak my wife ordered was amongst the best steaks I've ever had in my life. Great service! Absolutely delicious food, and I can't wait to go back and try some of the other things!“
“In plaza in downtown Palmetto next to Walmart. It is noisy but it is a sportsbar. Has games, darts, and pool. My husband and I usually sit at the bar and no matter how busy they get our service has always been superb! Food is delicious, and great selection of beer. Definitely do the garlic cheese curds! I like the burgers and Jaxx chicken sandwich as well. Reasonably priced for quality of food. I would prefer a leaf of lettuce rather than shredded but that is just my personal preference.Parking: depending on time of day or night parking can be a challenge but for the most part we always get a spot.Kid-friendliness: a few games for kids and it is loud so no worries bringing the kiddos“

“What a nice hidden gem for Bradenton! Since moving out to rural southern Hillsborough County, we have longed for a higher-end restaurant experience. Our daughter turned us on to MJ's and, with high hopes, we set off to find this rather non-descript exterior tucked next to a convenience store just off SR64. Don’t let the exterior fool you. Inside, the food, service and ambiance exceeded our every expectation. Five of us sampled six different menu offerings and all of us were struck by the complex flavors a good kitchen can produce. A clearly well-experienced server, Mattie was knowledgeable about the entire menu, attentive to our needs -- but not to a fault -- and allowed us to proceed at our own pace. Can’t wait to return and try some more dishes!“
“We (my family) loved the meals we ate here recently- the availability of personal pizzas made sure all could be satisfied and explore whatever they wanted to taste. The mixed green salad was so fresh, cold and nicely dressed with a citrus vinaigrette! Liked that a chicken breast could be added for protein and that the sliced radishes, cucumbers and strawberries were artistically arranged and tasted wonderful... Our server, Cameron, was friendly, knowledgeable and made excellent suggestions. The setting was clean, cool and music was at a reasonable level. Staff members were kind and polite. Outside of restaurant was clean and parking more than adequate. Good experience!“
“This was my first time here. Words can’t describe how amazing the Pulled Pork sandwich was. I ordered it with the Pimento Mac and Cheese, which was also out of this world!! I sat at the bar and Stephen was bartending and took great care of me. The service by was top notch. My glass was always full and he was super friendly. I can’t recommend this place enough and I would give them more than 5 stars if I could!!! Keep up the great work!! :-)“
“A busy Saturday morning, at such a fantastic establishment, you can expect a wait, but it is well worth it. Hands down the best breakfast we've ever had, outside of my own kitchen! The brioche French toast was light and fluffy, the option to get real maple syrup is a perfect pairing. The apple wood smoked bacon is absolutely fantastic. Veggie omelette, was so delicious and full of veggies! The home fried potatoes are seasoned and cooked perfectly. My absolute favorite was the marble rye toast, the most delicious bread I've ever had. And our server Ken was great!“
“Beautiful decor and ambiance embrace you at Sage restaurant. I was eyeing this place for months. Would it stand up to my expectations?Started out the evening on the rooftop bar with a fireplace. The bar was casual, mostly covered, and nice.Surrounded by family, lifelong friends, and new acquaintances, we celebrated my 50th birthday!When we walked into the restaurant, the "air" filled with beautiful music from a solo violinist. He played soulful modern tunes, which encapsulated the memories.The Thai Bouillabaisse and Porter house steak were a MUST! The porter house steak was HUGE. More than enough to feed two. My only wish was a side of risotto, less butter, and more vegetables. Otherwise, the steak was cooked to pure perfection.Honorable mentions were Seared Halibet with Wasabi Plumb Sauce and Yakisiba Noodles with grilled chicken.Thank you to the Sage restaurant for cooking up a wonderful 50th birthday ?“
“At first was not sure about this place, but after the food came I realized why this thing has a great review. Food is home style and amazing. Home made sausage has a slight hint of spice. I ordered the Brave and it was delicious.I love that it say No WiFi.You are here to eat and not do your computer work.“
“You must go! Overall a truly enjoyable dining experience for our group of 6 from NYC, Boston and CT. The service is impeccable, atmosphere is casual and lovely, while the food is creative American fine dining, with whimsy, such as the Birthday cake ice cream for dessert. The local red snapper dish was the best seafood dish that 3 of our guests have ever had. Highly recommend the Pickled Peppers and such, Parmesan Beignets and the Berkshire Pork as well. The attention to detail and flavors for each dish is Michelin Star quality. We have dined at the finest restaurants in NYC. If we lived in Sarasota, we would go back to Indigenous over and over. You will not be disappointed. Can not recommend highly enough.“
“There are lots of tables and they sat people pretty far apart to keep everyone safe. There's a few tables outside too which is nice. We were very impressed. The staff wore masks and were very kind and of course the food was excellent.“
“This place was fantastic. Husband is a meat eater and fish and chips afficianado and declared best fish and chips ever. I am vegetarian and had the buffalo cauliflower tacos. Amazing flavor and presentation. Lots of tables. Quick service. Highly recommend!“
“I fully expected bar food when I arrived. I ended up being amazed. I got blackened chicken "Mediterranean style" with artichokes and spinach with black beans and rice and roasted vegetables. I could only eat most of it. In fact, if I had room for dessert I would have just saved my leftovers for that course.Also, Amanda was efficient and engaging. But the amazing thing is that it is obviously a great atmosphere when someone like Chris, who's not even your server engages with you when they pass your table.All great people, but without great management, it's hard for even the best people to be this amazing doing such a high paced and stressful job.Kudos.“
“My mom and I went to a late lunch for my 25th and our server Rob B. was incredible. The best server we’ve ever had! Definitely request him! We sat on the patio and enjoyed $10 bottomless mimosas, my mom had the purple cactus cocktail 10/10 stars for sure. We loved our brussel sprout appetizer, brisket burger, and burrata cheese and tomato’s. Service exceeded our expectations, food was phenomenal, and we can’t wait to come back.“
“We had a truly amazing experience at Remy's. We had made a reservation for a group of "25" people that turned into about 32. The staff was incredibly efficient, effective, friendly, and skilled in managing a group of hungry boys and their parents, they rolled with it when we had lots of extra people, they could not have been nicer throughout, and it was an outstanding experience all around. And the food was excellent as well-- a whole bunch of people came back the next night on their own because the food was so good.In short, if you want to have a happy group of people, send them here :-)“
