“We're from out of town and found out that there wasn't a large selection of Mediterranean restaurants near our area, but we found one with good reviews, so we decided to try it out.The gentleman behind the register that took our order was friendly and helpful.We ordered the beef and chicken shawarma plate with hummus and yellow rice. The meat beef and chicken both had good flavor, the rice was nicely cooked, and the hummus was tasty.The only dish we didn't enjoy was the beef kaftka dish we ordered. The meat was overcooked and quite dry. The flavor wasn't there either. I wish we would've just stuck with the shawarma plate and ordered a salad on the side.“

“The best greek salad that I’ve had in North America! Reminded me of the Greek salads that I would get in Greece when I went 5 years ago. Also had the tzatziki with pita and was superb! Service was just as good as the food, the restaurant was very clean, and loved the Greek themed decor! Definitely recommend for anyone looking for really good authentic Greek food.“

“Trying to find a place to celebrate my birthday with my closest friends, we came accross Sprig of Thyme. The minute my husband called to make a reservation Luigi was absolutely welcoming, kind and very excited to host us. We felt appreciated and very excited to come to the restaurant after our conversation with Luigi. Luigi took his time to make sure we had everything we wanted to celebrate my birthday prior to our reservation. When we got to the restaurant yesterday, we had a beautiful table set up for our group of friends. We had the pleasure to meet Jessica (Luigi’s wife). Jessica was also very welcoming and kind and was very happy to host us. The servers, staff and the atmosphere in this place was absolutely excellent! The food was incredible, we all tried different items from the menu and every single one of them was great, but my favorite was the duck! It was amazing!!! If you are looking for a unique, exclusive and high quality place, this is the place for you, where not only food is amazing, but you are treated like family!!! We will definitely be going back very soon! Thank you Luigi and Jessica!!!“

“One of the best restaurants in Sarasota. We eat at many places but this one is truly at the top of our list. The food is excellent, the service is superb & the atmosphere is exceptional. We were there to celebrate my friend’s anniversary & the restaurant truly helped us make it a surprise. Edwardo was the most attentive server. He was excellent & we observed all servers doing such a great job.FOOD: Try the Brussels sprouts for appetizers. It fed 5-6 of us & had a great flavor. Dinner: I highly recommend the yellow fin tuna steak. Oh my gosh, the flavors that are married into this main course dish were delicious. They blended so well into the tuna steak (which was cooked perfectly & not overdone) melted in my mouth. Others at our table ordered the filet mignon which they said was excellent. My husband had the open-faced shrimp on pita bread which gave plenty of shrimp, perfectly cooked & the dressings were a delight. Even the coffee after dinner was great.SERVICE: These servers were so attentive, & as noted, Edwardo was excellent. He is bilingual, speaking Spanish & English. He anticipated all our needs, from drinks to food, to checking that we were happy with the way our food was right after it was served. He handled many tables without leaving us to ask for anything. How do they do all of that? A perfectly organized kitchen, chef, management & all that put this restaurant at the top.ATMOSPHERE: Seating includes inside & outside, both of which packed quickly but no one was left standing to wait. It is decorated perfectly, making great use of space, was clean as a whistle (even the bathrooms), & outside area.Overall, we love coming g here & will continue to do so. A great place to eat, shower your guests with the great flavors of Sarasota & terrific dining.Edwardo: Gracias!“
