11 Best Steakhouses in Sarasota

“It was my first time -there - we were celebrating 2 friends Birth Days - we had an amazing Server - Lady Tracy - she was beyond wonderful. Very caring, always checking - if everything was OK and if we needed something else...She was FABULOUS. Great staff like this is hard to find these days...The food also was wonderful and delicious...So glad we went there, and I will be back for sure....THANK YOU!!!!“

“A perfect night for the taste of UTC restaurant specials at CG. We sat on the front porch with a cool breeze accompanied by great service, friends and food!!! The Tomahawk lamb chop was spectacular. Great wine choices and drinks too. One of our favorite spots for sure.“

“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+“

“Usually frequent the other location in town because I had a few bad experiences here, but I was pleasantly surprised. Our server was the best! She was funny, accommodating, and efficient. Made a point to tell the manager he's lucky to have her. Food was good, but it's so difficult to get a steak cooked to taste in terms of rare versus well-done. Came close. Wish they had outdoor seating like the other location, but now willing to patronize either.“

“Bit costly $$$ but one of the best places I have been in. I don't review all places I go to but this is totally 5 star. We had 6 people and we ordered some appetizers and lab chops as main plus other things. Every plate and drink was delicious. But mostly this place worth its money is the stuff (sevrers)! All of them nice and polite even management.“

“It is disappointing these days to go out and get mediocre food, service, and no ambiance for a price you regret. We took our Son out for his 31st birthday and ordered the Cowboy Ribeye, what a flavorful steak, cooked perfectly with outstanding sides and bottle of wine. OMG what an experience. We all enjoyed our meals, the ambiance, and superb service. I highly recommend this restaurant, but bring your gold card. Great Job Guys!!“

“Had dinner here on Tuesday evening and can I just say it was the best Filet Mignon I have ever had. The seasoning was light and not overwhelming. The mashed potatoes were so creamy and smooth. Our waitress was fun and attentive. All dinners were cooked to perfection and I cannot wait to go back. If you want the best steak you have ever had, this is the place to go. Thank you for an amazing dinner and a really good time!“

“There celebrating family birthdays! My family and I are a vibe whenever we are gathered together wherever!Vegetarian options: If you desire vegetarian, you can have your meal as you want it prepared.Kid-friendliness: Yes, very kid friendly.“

“So I had a great experience at this restaurant tonight. I sat at the very full bar and Jess welcomed me and offered me a drink within 3 minutes and we both had good conversation for a bit of time. I ordered my food and it was delivered by Matt. As someone who was a bartender at Flemings Steakhouse for 8 years in Sarasota, I know what our “secret shoppers” look for. These two are rockstars! I’ll be back more often.Sincerely,Jeff Wicks“

“So the steak was not melt in my mouth like buttah and yes I got the filet, normally don’t. The rest of the meal was fantastic and wine but I was surprised the steak was not as good. (I think Capital Grille does an outstanding steak by comparison)“

“10 stars! My Fraternity hosted a 90th Birthday party attended by twenty-five brothers at the Lounge. The service was impeccable; the food was hot and perfect; the staff went above and beyond to ensure that everything went on without a hitch. I would give them "10" stars, if I could.“
