“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.“
“I went there for lunch today and the food was delicious. I had the pork shank and it was like butter it just melted in your mouth. I also got some Wienerschnitzel to go and a lot of desserts for later. the staff was very nice and they even wrote Happy Birthday on my dessert box.“
“I called in 2 days before a birthday celebration ! And BAM !!!! They had everything ready and it was Absolutly perfect. From the Cakeballs to Cupcakes , Cookies and more. SWEET DOCTORS WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN. EVERY SINGLE BITE WAS MOIST AND DELICIOUS. THANK YOU TO THE Sweet Doctor and his wonderful staff !!!“
“I eat here weekly !! I don’t eat anywhere weekly But the food is not only delicious and different The presentation is a feast for your eyes And the waitstaff is equally as wonderful warm and welcoming I hesitate sharing Bc it feels like a best kept secret“
“An absolute delight! Last minute birthday cupcakes were needed and when I walked in, I was greeted with amazing service! I met one of the owners and he was so very sweet and informative about all of the sweet treats they had and made it extra special with the birthday signs for the cupcakes! They even have tons of Gluten Free options as well which is always a great find. Cupcakes were absolutely delicious and a hit. Thank you so much! Will be back when I need my next sweet treat :)“
“How very fun! We thoroughly enjoyed our first experience at Rodizio. Beautiful place, very clean and an absolutely gorgeous salad bar. We ordered the whole experience that came with 3 beef choices, 2 chicken choices, a lamb, a sausage, pork, and grilled pineapple. Everything was delicious. The meat servers were courteous and helpful. Our main server Raemond was exceptional, humorous and very knowledgeable. I do believe we have found our new favorite place to dine out.“
“Quite possibly the best crafted coffees you will find anywhere,, very informative barista ,,quite pricey if you buy whole beans and such .. but the per cup charge for what you get of lattes etc is actually almost cheap for the quality of the drink “
“A lovely little cafe in Sarasota with service and food that matches the pretty exterior. SlI stopped by on a Monday morning whilst on vacation, and though the place was quite busy, the staff was handling it very well, and the vibe was fast but comfortable. My experience when ordering was pleasant and bright, and that was an idiom kept by all staff working at the time.I got a stuffed croissant with egg and cheese and spinach, which was quite delicious. My wife got a stuffed everything bagel with ham, egg, cheese and spinach and commented it was tasty enough that she couldn't stop eating it. I got my children elephant ears that they both liked, and my wife and I split a maple pecan croissant that was decadent and enjoyable. Overall, it's definitely a spot I'd say to stop at if you're in Sarasota, as they also had dozens of other beautiful looking pastries, a vast drink menu and lunch options.“
“Lived in Ohio around Amish country.This location outside of Sarasota is the mirror image of the location in Bellevue Ohio.What a great place!Good was excellent and affordable.Staff was very attentive and friendly.Gift shop employees were very knowledgeable of the company and both areas in Ohio and Sarasota.I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone.We will be back!“
“OMG! Cookies, pretzels, brownies, scones, and more. Everything we've had has been amazing. Watch for Doodles at local events like Fruitville Grove this October! We just picked up some amazing cinnamon apple donut bites that were outstanding.“
“It's been years since I had one of their pies when they were on Swift Rd. I thought they were out of business and while searching Google maps for something I saw the Bee Ridge store. To say they're awesome still falls short. There goes my waistline.“
“I have had the pleasure of sampling several cakes (and cupcakes) by Ron at various events, and they never disappoint. Most recently was a lemon blueberry birthday cake - just as beautiful as it was tasty! I highly recommend these confections for any occasion, or no occasion at all - because sometimes you just deserve a decadent treat.“
“Great vegan pizza and regular cheese option for the kiddos! The cashew cheese was yummy! Also, don’t forget to try the fried artichoke app. And the espresso and tiramisu was excellent! We’ll be back for sure! Looking forward to trying it all!“
“The meals taste delicious and it takes the trouble out of meal prepping and transporting it to and from work. Patrick delivers to my job, on schedule, like he says he will. I love that the menu selection changes and that the food is fresh. It’s worth it to spend the money for me, because I know that I’m eating healthy food versus takeout or snacks throughout my workday. Thanks Patrick and helpers!“
“Small, cozy bar off S Tamiami Trail. We went on a Friday night, and there was a 30-minute wait for regular seating. The bar had open seats so we decided to just order there. I got the stuffed jalapenos, and they came out hot and fresh. Crispy bacon exterior, with a cheesy mozzarella interior. For my main course, I went for the Hawaiian burger, which did not disappoint. It was cooked perfectly to temp with two grilled pineapple wheels, LTO, and bbq sauce on the side. Two thumbs up. My wife got the cheese steak and said it was good but not the best. Both of our main dishes were served with crispy steak fries and a pickle spear. I normally dont like thick cut steak fries because they aren't normally cooked with an exterior crisp, but these were. Service was a bit slow but only because of how busy it was. Service bar drink tickets were printed nonstop, and the bartender did a great job managing wait staff drinks while still tending to her bar guests. Overall, good food and service.“
“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!“
“heard many great reviews and so glad we finally had a chance to try them. Cozy comfortable pet friendly outdoor seating was a very welcome alternative to the busy bustling inside. Fast service and a menu to die for. Delicious waffles, french toast and their special mango butter is a real treat. The fresh baked mango muffins are, seriously OH MY GAWD! Cannot wait for our next visit and try other dishes from their very creative menu and.... of course bring home more muffins.“
“The coffees, pastries and breakfast sandwichs are very good. The staff is amazing. They are quick, courteous, accurate and extremely pleasant no matter how busy they are. The staff at all of Captain Curt's businesses are awesome. Kudos to the HR person(s).“
“This place not only has delicious food and provides gluten free and vegan options. It also has yummy boba and the interior is gorgeous! Sit in or out with lots of plant friends! Such a vibe and great place to get with friendly staff! Cant wait to go back!“
“One day last week the girls finally had a day out shopping. We stopped in the afternoon to check out this bakery and market. After some cookies I asked about bagels and they only had frozen ones left. I brought a half dozen bag of cinnamon raisin bagels home. Just like the cookies and cakes, the bagels are to die for. They are brought in from New York every morning and baked in the store. I knew my fiancé would love it here. We rode our bikes using the legacy trail from Venice, and since Sarasota has wonderful bike lanes, we easily found our way to the bakery. Now to back up to the beginning of our ride, I took a nasty spill in the first mile and just tried to keep my wound clean along the way and continued my ride. When we rolled up to the market, I cleaned it with water again. Before I knew it, a sweet employee came out to ask me if I needed a bandage. We went in to get the first aid and they fixed me up. It was so nice to see humanity at its best. I really want to thank them for their hospitality. We then went to the bakery and enjoyed their fresh Fruit Tarts. Yummy! Planning another trip with our car to be able to shop the market properly. I highly recommend the gourmet food and the bakery but especially the customer service.“
“This place is a little dive bar gem! The High side is connected to Precision Cycle, so it's basically the biker bar. That being said, the people are super nice, the food is cheap and the service is fast. My sandwich was tasty enough that I ate the whole thing and got a $3 glass of wine to top it off. Seriously, where else can you get a giant sandwich and a drink for $11? They've even got a pool table.“
“one of the best decisions I have made in this new year was stopping by and checking this shop out while on a walk through downtown Sarasota.... amazing donuts and the lady who served me was as friendly as a person could be. Definitely will be driving two hours to stop by again from time to time. #Dunkinwho“
“Two great meals and amazing staff to boot. Weary from travel this restaurant delivered the best dirty martini thank you Tobias, and pan seared Cod with Marsala sauce topping and a tomatoe Pearl onion with capers lemon butter sauce. Mmmmmmmm don’t miss this right off Hwy 75 outside Sarasota.“
“Lots of great flavors and toppings are particularly impressive for the variety. Is your standard self serve yogurt fare. I appreciated that you could try the flavors. They have free waffle cones on Wednesday but the woman working the task wouldn't give it to us because we didn't put it in 1st. That was annoying and frustrating. The yogurt itself was good.“
“A pleasant little deli and coffee shop in the always buzzing St. Armands Circle area of Sarasota. I stopped by around breakfast/brunch time for takeout after taking my daughter to get her ears checked (ear infections oft being the bane of all vacation plans).I ordered the veggie burrito, which had a lot of flavor and a bunch of fresh tasting veggies along with cheese. My wife got the avocado toast, which she remarked had way more avocado than she expected, which is a good sign for the more meager price tag. My children split a simple egg and cheese on toast, which they both enjoyed. Overall, it was good and filling breakfast fair for what could definitely be considered a bargain for the area where it resides.“
“Stopped in and was instantly drawn to the birthday cake donut as I'm a huge sucker for sprinkles. The donut was fantastic and the guy working the counter was just as sweet as the donut. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town! Thanks Five-O! ??“
“Might not be the best pizza I've ever had- but it is definitely one of the better ones. Truly adhering to the New York style pizza making tradition, this is a very thin pie, but one that manages to be both crunchy and chewy, as opposed to just cracker like.I ordered takeout and got the 3 cheese, with the addition of lump ricotta taking the flavor of the pizza to another creamy level. The sauce was good,and it's the kind of pizza where the crust is possibly the best part, as opposed to an afterthought. Definitely deserves the fanfare it has gotten on review sites and notably from Dave Portnoy.“
“Absolutely the best ice cream and service in Sarasota! Gentleman behind the counter took his time sharing information about the different ice creams and happily dishing up samples. Extremely generous portions and even better tasting ice cream! We will be back!“
“Our group of old guys having lunch ate at CPK today. They had a nice but smallish menu including lunch specials. Very decent prices for very nice selections. So, that is a good value situation. Isabella of the waitstaff took good care of us today.“
“Man okay first let me start off by say the service here was great the staff was so nice and accommodating. Our waitress was so nice and on her game. 10/10 on service. The inside and outside of the restaurant was so gorgeous. I loved the paintings and the color skeem of it all. Just beautiful 10/10! With that being said that's where all the niceness stops. Let me put it this way if you're a person that has never had authentic Asian cuisine of any kind then this is for you you'll like it. HOWEVER if you're a person that has had authentic Asian cuisine of any kind or find yourself "cultured" then this is not a place for you. Don't believe me then go try it for yourself. Chang's Lettuce Wraps: these were not very good if anything just okay. Under seasoned and the protein we chose was chicken and yet there was little to no chicken in it. The saving grace was the sauce that we dipped it in. But we personally wouldn't order again. 5/10 Pork Egg Rolls: these were probably the best thing we had the whole night. These egg rolls were very good, hot, and fresh tasting. Would definitely eat again! However the dipping sauce for them was so bad we were afraid to try it twice it was very strong with an acidic vinegar taste that was extremely unbearable! Egg rolls 7/10 the sauce 1/10 Vegetable Fried Rice: we ordered a side of vegetable fried rice only to receive it with no vegetables, the most it had was little bits of carrots here and there. On top of that it was so dry as if it was days old and extremely lumpy and clear as day had huge hunks of white rice where it wasn't properly cooked and evenly coated. 3/10 Sesame Chicken: was okay at best I have eaten sesame chicken for years and this was not standard. Like I said it was okay just had an off flavor. I actually ended up eating and enjoy the broccoli, onions, and peppers more then anything. 5/10 Beef With Broccoli: this was actually pretty decent flavor was there but it's weird it's called beef with broccoli and yet we only received like 5 pieces of broccoli on the plate. You'd think there would have been more right? 7/10 Chocolate Souffle: this one was weird the raspberry sauce was the worst part it didn't pare well with anything very strong and tangy it was off-putting to the tongue. The chocolate souffle was very dense and fudge like and I wasn't very into it. If it wasn't for the vanilla ice cream we probably would have stopped eating it. It was almost as if it was uncooked. Not sure if it was supposed to be that way but it wasn't what we expected. 2/10 All in all I'm probably never returning back here again. It reminded me of an overpriced Panda Express and I hate Panda Express. It's over priced and was not worth anything! Food: 5/10 Service: 10/10 Atmosphere: 10/10“
“Food came extremely fast & hot! Calamari was good but very small portion for $20. Our pasta dishes had alot of flavor. Waitress wasn't the greatest. She never refilled our drinks nor checked on us after we got our food. Overall, we will definitely return.“
“Amazing service and amazing food. The home made pasta and the other dishes were light and enjoyable to have. Reasonably priced too. Was surprised that it was at that price point after the meal with how high quality it was.Parking: Lots of parking.“
