“Sinbad was amazing! He made our time at the tiki bar so much fun. The Jell-O shots were so tasty (and strong) and he made very good suggestions about what drink to order. He’s so friendly and sitting at his bar was a such a good time. He is a siesta key staple! Go visit him!”
“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!”
“Great service and good food. We enjoyed our bartender immensely but were bummed the drinks are all wine based? Good food and friendly staff. Nice bar inside (skip the line and see if the bar has room!)”
“I rarely leave a review, trust the process, four years in a row this restaurant is the most consistent, amazing restaurant I’ve been to in Florida. The best service, food quality and ambiance in Siesta Key. Can’t give a better review if I tried.”
“We absolutely loved The Cottage! We unfortunately had to wait much longer than what we were told and they made up for it with flying colors. The manager bought us a round of drinks and appetizer - which were all out of this world! The food, service and atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for. Such a great and fun spot! The painkiller drink is 100/10!”
“We absolutely adored this place and ate here 3 times during our trip. From the owners to the hostess and servers, everyone was so attentive and friendly! And the food was amazing. I'd say our favorites were the croque monsier.”
“This little hideaway is fabulous. Everything is plant-based, although a carnivorous eater would not taste a difference. There is no wait and Carrie is very friendly and accommodating. Their acai bowls are fabulous with no added sugar. Their smashed avocado toast has REAL, PURE avocado, which is not mixed with anything. Their pure squeezed juices and shots are everything they should be, delicious, no added sugar, etc. Thank you, Carrie for the excellent food, service, and great "tasting bites".”
“Great coffee/smoothie place on the Main Street near siesta key beach. I ordered the chocolate banana smoothie for $7.25 and it was delicious! My mom got a matcha tea latte and that was also very good. Great atmosphere and service”
“Always excellent food - great ambience. Normally attentive and unrushed service. Visit during Spring Break did not meet those qualities. Food service was rushed and we left with disappointment in what is normally a very pleasant dining experience.”
“The tacos are amazing. I had the carnitas tacos, three tacos were the perfect amount and the pork was grilled to perfection. 100% recommend when in Siesta Key.”
“My boyfriend and I came down to Siesta Key from Tampa for a little staycation, we decided to stop at Kilwins for some ice cream and a caramel apple (which was fantastic!). Bailey was so helpful deciding on flavors, she was also so sweet and kind to everyone in line. It's so nice to see a young lady that knows how to carry a conversation all while efficiently taking care of all of the guests in the store. She made sure to be kind to every single person in there shining a little bit of light on everyones day. She made our experience at Kilwins so wonderful. Thank you Bailey! Keep being the cheerful person you are!”
“The most delicious and beautiful sushi I'll EVER have ❤? tonights server was a zero star but in forgiveness it was pretty busy. Never have had a problem before with this place. Absolutely one of my favs.”
“Very casual, local spot with great pizza and beer selection. We tried the vegan cheese on our veggie pie and was very happy with our choice. Happy to see vegan options available. Unfortunately I did not read the ingredients in the brussel sprouts but they were deliciousVegetarian options: Choose the pies without meat and you're safeDietary restrictions: Vegan Cheese available”
“Hands down the best pizza in all of Florida I'd like to say in the US but unfortunately I am not well first in the pies throughout all the states. But the dough is made from scratch the same way it has been made for the last 80 years The sauce the chicken parmesan the eggplant the meatballs the garlic knots all made from scratch from some of the highest quality ingredients I couldn't recommend it anymore than I already do whether you just want a single slice or a whole pie or sandwich or a salad you definitely need to check this place out especially if you're only fortunate enough to have it while you're in town temporarily you'll want to take some home with you.”
“The dole whip is to die for on a hot day. What a lovely cool treat, especially for us dairy free people!Dietary restrictions: Yummy treats even for those with DF/GF diets!”
“We have had the BEST night hanging out at the bar! Brittney has been an AWESOME server. We can’t say enough great things about her. She was friendly, funny and super attentive. We have been coming to Siesta Key for 10 years, but this has been one of our best, most memorable nights. We plan to return this week for Happy Hour! We live Daiquiri Deck. Thanks again to Brittney for taking care of two midwesterners who were enjoying the NCAA tournament. Go Hawkeyes (women’s BB) and go Illini (men’s BB)!”
“This has been a favorite of my wife and I since we stopped in several years back during a driving vacation. Mostly open air watching the Sarasota beach cruising scene. A few cold drinks and upscale bar food, my happy place.”
“Love this little coffee shop! Great location off the main strip. The strip mall has a parking lot, and there are tables outside to enjoy some fresh air. We were thrilled to find that they are dog friendly and gave us a treat! The coffee was great and I loved the coconut flavoring!”
“Great experience. Love the atmosphere, outside patio with vines and vibe. Our waitress was excellent. The shrimp fra Diavlo and pasta bolognese was awesome. Only reason not 5 stars is for Italian restaurant bread and oil is a must. Other than that would definitely come back again!!!”
“One of the best restaurants in Sarasota. The staff is very friendly, the food is great, and the atmosphere is comfortable. It's a regular stop for us. Enjoy!”
“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.”
“Is time wonderful experience. Tricia is an absolutely great host. She makes you feel like you're eating in her home. Food was out of this world; I had the Cacio E Pepe; it was to die for and my wife had the Sacchettini Pasta, wonderful. This is a must restaurant in Sarasota Florida.”
“absolutely wonderful everything we ate was great the people were wonderful the atmosphere was right on for an Italian style restaurant. planning on going back again”
“We went to this restaurant for my daughters birthday. She had been there previously for her husband‘s birthday, so she wanted to go back for hers. All in all the service was excellent, very attentive. I can’t say I wasn’t happy with my food because he asked my daughter if she wanted her steak medium rare that she had and he didn’t ask me if I wanted my steak on my Noodles meet them where are we are done so when it came, it was medium rare I can’t eat me to where I feel like blood in my mouth so I asked him to go back and make it well done so they actually went back and literally bought the meat to every bite that I took take it tasted like burnt grill Choco pie crispy very unhappy with my meal very dissatisfied but other than that my daughter like to hurtful my son-in-law like this food oh my granddaughter, she did not eat her food but all in all it was OK experience just not happy with my food”
“Perfect addition to the Sarasota restaurant scene!We made it for dinner on a Friday night along with another couple. Parked nearby at the State Street Garage. We were warmly greeted when we arrived. The restaurant has two floors with the second floor overlooking the ground floor dining room and large rectangular bar. The entire first floor is floor to ceiling glass with a great view of Lemon street activities. Nice vibe and it's not overly loud inside.Our Initial seating upstairs was not to our liking (a little closed in) and we were able to move to a table on the sidewalk out-front (which made for great people watching). Although it's on the street the traffic is light and slow and there's pedestrians coming and going. It was also a beautiful evening out.This is a Tapas restaurant and the menu features many different to pick from along with shareable Paella dishes. To start we ordered 4 tapas to share (Pan Con Tomate, Pollo Ajillo, Croquetas, Alcahofas Fritas) and the Mariscos Paella (which takes about 45 minutes). We also ordered a pitcher of the Sangria Rusbusto which has additional 12 yr brandy to add depth to the flavor. Good portion and great flavor for 3 of us that were drinking.The tapas were delivered to the table in sequential fashion which was nice as it gave a chance to try each one with out rushing. The portions were sometimes 3, 4 or 5 pieces so with 4 of we split what what was already portioned out. Regardless, the flavors were all amazing and the portions good for a Tapa. After the initial Tapas and while waiting for the paella we also ordered the Spanish Grilled cheese. It was by far my favorite with the bread crunchy and the melted Manchego cheese and spicy aioli giving it a burst of flavor with a kick. I'd come for happy hour and just get the Grilled Cheese in the future.About this time the hot pan of paella showed up. Nice presentation with the prawns on the top and good depth of flavor on the rice portion of the dish intermixed with seafood. I've eaten plenty of paella and this one was tight up there.For desert we opted to split the Flan. It's made differently from flan I've had in the past. A lot lighter and creamy with a good flavor.About the time we were finishing up the Manager (Ashley) came by to query about our meal. After small talk and her raving about the cheesecake she comp'd us one. It was excellent.Throughout the meal Carolina, our waitress, did a great job. She was very knowledgeable on the menu and answered all our questions. She never rushed us and was attentive but not overly.We had heard a lot about Beso before coming and it exceeded our expectations. The ambiance, service and food were excellent. Kudos to the staff for making our meal with our friends memorable. Not sure who's cooking there but the Head Chef and kitchen staff should be commended for the quality, presentation and taste of everything we had.We'll be back!”
“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.”
“The tacos are absolutely amazing! If you like spicy ask for their spicy toppings. Delicious!Parking: Parking in the grass or in the church parking lotKid-friendliness: Games here for the kids to playWheelchair accessibility: No big obstructions.”
“A friend recommended this nice Turkish restaurant to me. My daughter and I had a wonderful lunch. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. The Borrek was light and fresh with the tzatziki. The Doner kabab and Iskender were both excellent and with large portions. Highly recommend both.”
“I have eaten here 4x .I have a buisness in the west village on Bleecker street in NY. I have eaten the best pizza NY had to offer for 25 years.Johns of Bleecker .Joes of Bleecker Rays famous you name it I've had it. CAPO PAZZO is up there with the Heavy weights. Awesome pizza . I haven't had a calzone since I left Brooklyn there calzone was incredible. This is my spot I love it. Even my glass of wine was good thats unusual for a pizza place. Great place 100 % recommend.”
“last Night I enjoyed a delightful experience at this gelato shop, and I must commend their outstanding customer service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure I had a memorable visit, answering all my questions with enthusiasm and helping me choose the perfect gelato flavor. Their friendly demeanor and attention to customer satisfaction truly enhanced my overall enjoyment of the delicious gelato. Highly recommend for both the incredible treats and top-notch service!”
