Tommy Bahama Restaurant, Bar & Store -Food CA (Near Sarasota)

Tack we stumbled across a fabulous restaurant in Saint Armand Circle. The atmosphere was elegant, but casual, the crisp white linen tablecloth with the backdrop of low lighting made for a perfect night. The intimate setting of a classy seafood restaurant that also offers meat options was absolutely perfect. This is a true find in Sarasota if not all of Florida. We first began with a complementary appetizer of a smoked salmon pate served by our lovely waitress, Christin. after the appetizer, we had a delicious warm basket of bread which included homemade wheat rolls and garlic twists with plenty of butter! We started with a flatbread appetizer which was a smoked salmon flatbread it had a grilled cauliflower crust, sun-dried tomatoes, capers, radish, olive oil, oil, lemon, dill, cream cheese, red onion, arugula, and black mission, fig must I say it was extraordinary! we then had to dine on a delicious big beautiful bastard burger it was a half pound of Australian Wagyu, burger, full smoked blue cheese, cognac, caramelized, onion, applewood, smoked bacon, fried quail, egg, kimchi, tomato, aïoli, shaded winter, pure gold truffles, and it was delicious on a 24 carat, gold Portuguese sweet bread bun yes that is true and white truffle Parmesan beer battered french fries I thought at that point I had died and gone to heaven you must get this burger. It’s gorgeous and delicious my dinner partner for the night had a salad. she was so full from the appetizer and flatbread however she chose the Martha’s Vineyard salad, a raspberry maple dress greens, blue cheese, red onions, and toasted pine nuts. She said it was the best salad she ever had. Kristen are wonderful waitress suggested for dessert and array of so many different pastries made in the restaurant yet I chose the homemade Dubai chocolate bar. Must I say it was scrumptious I even took a little home. At the end of the evening, we took a picture of the manager, Brendan. Brendan was all decked out in his holiday best attire he was friendly and showed me some other parts of the restaurant which you can see in the photos crab and Finn is a definite must for anybody in the Sarasota area. I can’t wait to go back again, so enjoy and I hope your meal will be as wonderful as ours was! apologies for the incorrect grammar. I’m having computer difficulty today, but I wanted to get this review out there for all of you that might be looking to go to a restaurant this holiday season.

Ranita Anne Isaac The food, waiters, and everyone else here including the lady running the place yesterday were amazing. She noticed that we were ordering a lot of chocolate and gave us a free scoop of chocolate gelato which was so very kind. I absolutely loved the chocolate cake. The ravioli of the day was so different (it was lamb on Sunday) and melted in our mouths. Just a fantastic, wonderful dining experience. Youve made me a loyal customer for noticing what we liked and going the extra mile. Thank you :)

Deb Bright Our family really enjoyed our dinner last night. The best dish ordered was the lamb but everything was excellent. Our server was fantastic. And the place is so charming with all the lights for atmosphere. We will definitely be back. We ate everything before I remembered to take pic!!!

J. ALVAR Great experience. Id never been to this restaurant before, and I didnt even know it existed. I was looking for something different for my wifes birthday and voila, a miracle happened. The atmosphere was very pleasant and welcoming, the food delicious, and the service five-star. Yassin went above and beyond in his attentiveness, making for an unforgettable evening. I strongly recommend this restaurant for an intimate and different occasion.

Benjamin Lugo Velez The service provided was exceptional. The staff demonstrated comprehensive knowledge of the menu, exhibiting both friendliness and attentiveness. The culinary offerings were outstanding, featuring authentic Italian flavors and pasta cooked to perfection. Furthermore, the desserts were of excellent quality.

Chanwoo Park Fogo de Chao is my favorite Brazilian steakhouse in Central Florida! The market table has a wide assortment of fresh sides and assortments while the meat quality is excellent with great cuts and temperatures. Service is always outstanding with such fine attention to detail. Violeta, one of the managers, made sure to check on us several times during our dining experience to ensure everything was fantastic and it surely was, we felt really welcomed by the staff as if we were dining at home. Our servers made sure we had everything we needed all throughout our meal. Cannot recommend Fogo enough to all who are craving excellent Brazilian bbq!
