“Really great meal and great cocktails“

“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.“

“The food was absolutely amazing! The chef and all the staff were super nice. You can tell these people love what they do. Food is cooked with love!“

“Atmosphere great. Owner is wonderful Camille. Waiter is arrogant and never ever apologizes when food doesn’t come out prepared as requested. When an entire plate of steak frites is sent back undercooked doesn’t even offer anything as an apology“

“Just had breakfast this morning. Will not return. Ordered two eggs benedict breakfast. Awful. Eggs came out hard-boiled on toast. Sauce was runny and weak and did not have the creamy consistency. Eggs were cold. Waiter brought out what appeared like a mandatory 20 percent gratuity. I complained to my waiter and to my family from out of town. Will walk across street next time.“

“Everyone in our party enjoyed the breakfast crepes and the wonderful food. The orange juice was freshly squeezed and delicious with no bitterness. The place was nice and quaint. The staff was very nice and respectful including Andy who has a heart of gold that will accommodate the best of your needs. Thank you The New Jersey Family!“

“My party and I visited for dinner on St Patrick’s Day. The food was great, service was impeccable, and the owner was so kind. Definitely recommend!“

“This small French restaurant was such a treat! We were in from out of town and my dad loves this restaurant. Not white table cloth but a cozy, more casual atmosphere. I have the escargot (excellent) and the filet mignon which was legitimately one of the best I ever had. My wife had the lamb chops which she loved and we shared the peach Melba desert which was a special, it was delirious! The service was by a lovely woman and very timely. If you are looking for a hidden gem while in the Sarasota area, I highly recommend!“

“The AMI team is the absolute BEST! We accidentally made a reservation for a party of 15 people at a different location that was meant for Anna Maria Island and when we rolled in the small staff was terrified. This happened to be during spring break which is a super busy time and all restaurants are packed. But they quickly accommodated us and pulled together a large table. They worked extremely hard to handle our group and all the food was fantastic. We got really lucky they could have easily turned us away. They were even able to accommodate a family member in a wheelchair. Just amazing. At the end of the meal we gave them a standing ovation. So sorry to other location we accidentally made the initial reservation…we’re very sorry.“

“Real French bakery. Amazing!“

“This place just makes you feel at home. It’s cozy, and the waitresses are all kind.You get your food very fast, but at the same time there’s no “rush” that you see at other breakfast places, as in no fast paced panic. In all honesty; I was having a horrible morning before I walked in with my family, and the atmosphere here just exudes happiness and kindness, for lack of better words. You really have to try it to experience the warm, home-like feeling. I will visit this place every time I am near Bradenton.“

“My favorite. Amazing pastries.“
