Mark McCool Wonderful breakfast at Café on St. Armands We had a very nice breakfast here and couldn’t have been happier. The quiche Lorraine was outstanding—perfectly cooked, rich, and flavorful, with everything tasting incredibly fresh and delicious. Service was fast and attentive without feeling rushed, which made for a relaxed and enjoyable morning. The atmosphere fits St. Armands beautifully and is a great spot to start the day. If you’re looking for a fresh, well-made breakfast with great service on St. Armands Circle, this place is definitely worth a stop. Highly recommend.

Luis Moreno This is hands down the best Italian restaurant in Sarasota. They made me feel right at home. The best Neapolitan pizza Ive eaten in Naples. Soft and tasty with excellent Italian ingredients, such as flour, tomato, and mozzarella. The owner and chef, Cesare, knows what hes doing, overseeing the kitchen and making sure everything is fine at the tables. GRAZIE

Robbie Burnett The bar had a great atmosphere. The happy hour margarita was good. I had a mango flavor. The fish dip/ appretizer was really good. I was hesitant to try because I dont eat tuna fish. The fries came out quick too at the bar. I had the shrimp meal that was vibe along with my husband salmon meal although he would like a little more rice.

Sasha I celebrated my birthday there yesterday with a table of 11! Our server was Steven - he is INCREDIBLE! Our drinks were never empty, our food came out in a timely manner and just his presence was great! He gave great recommendations! The food was INCREDIBLE! Not one empty dish was left! Wings were crispy, broccolini was fresh, pizza was perfectly cooked and the pasta was DELICIOUS! I will definitely be returning!

Steve Latour Wonderful spot with service to match. Ridleys does it right and the bar is top notch! Both Ryan and Michelle knocked it out of the park. Friendly and informed, they made our night even more pleasurable and the food rocks too!

Katie Gallanis First and foremost, this was one of the best dining and food experiences I’ve had, especially for the price point (my dad paid lol). We had the pleasure of having Justin as our server and he was extremely knowledgeable about all of the appetizers, entrées and cocktails - he gave us great recommendations. We started off the meal with raw oysters, the Thai muscles, and an order of focaccia. Let me just say the focaccia was to die for. The muscles had a ton of flavor, and I highly suggest east coast oysters anywhere you go, but the ones we had here were phenomenal. My sister and I split the red snapper entrée along with a side of grits and everything was cooked to perfection. Our dad had his own snapper order all to himself and he said it was the perfect serving size. Justin recommended the crab cakes to our mom (right up her alley) - if you’re a fan of crab cakes showcasing seasoning, crab, and doesn’t leave room for bread filling, this is the place for you. I don’t know how they were able to keep the crab in a cake formation, but there was no bread whatsoever. The broccolini had a charred flavor and the mashed potatoes were so yummy. Two of the owners are brothers, one front-of-house and one the head chef. You can tell they care about the quality and experience they bring to the table. Highly recommend the coconut espresso martini. We have a restaurant in our hometown that is known for their version, and Brine’s takes the cake. Speaking of cake, the desserts were also top tier. I don’t usually leave reviews, but my whiskey sours were so good and the food and service matched, so I thought I’d pass along my thoughts. Brine is an all-time top 3 restaurant in my books.

Jared Barkman Perfect! This was our first time eating here and we loved it. The environment was calm and perfect for an enjoyable daddy / daughter date night! I got a chicken teriyaki bento box. All dinner boxes come with a harbor roll, server recommended and I’m glad he did - it was good. My daughter ordered a pink lady roll, and chicken teriyaki. Their miso soup is amazing and the happy crab roll was very good as well. We will be back!

Joi Henry I already LOVE Sarasota but this is the place I DREAM of when I am not there. From the food to the service, Kojo has been able to set a welcoming, chic and vibey atmosphere for all ages. We went to celebrate my father-in-laws birthday during the time of New Years. We had the kimchi fried rice, fried chicken bao buns, wasabi Ceasar and a few sushi rolls. The bao buns were soft, slightly spicy and full of flavor. The chicken was moist but crunchy at the same time. When the rice came out, it smelled like a vacation in a cast iron skillet. The egg yolk was runny and it balanced out the spiciness of the dish.Outside of the food, our waitress (I wish I could remember her name) was the most kind and attentive. Our glasses of water were NEVER empty. And when we had dessert to celebrate my father-in-laws birthday she noticed none of us were drinking alcohol that night and instead of champagne to celebrate, she gave us Ginger Ale! I thought that was so thoughtful! Every time I visit Sarasota, Kojo will ALWAYS be on my list!

Dr. Tomia Austin Our experience at Marina Jack’s was exceptional, thanks to Christina and Diego, who truly went above and beyond. From the start, they offered great recommendations, and every single one met—and exceeded—our expectations. We enjoyed the Reuben, Thai chicken sandwich, seafood roll, calamari (not pictured) and the seafood chowder, all of which were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Even the sweet raspberry tea was a standout. Their knowledge of the menu, attention to detail, and seamless teamwork made the entire dining experience effortless and enjoyable. Christina and Diego delivered outstanding hospitality, turning a beautiful waterfront meal into a memorable experience. We’ll absolutely be back and will be sure to ask for them again.

momof toogirls Had a great dinner at Beso! We were greeted warmly and seated right away for our reservation. Our server was super friendly, knew the menu well, and kept our drinks topped off all night. The place is beautiful and has a really nice vibe. The food was pretty good — it’s tapas style, so great for sharing. There were four of us and we each ordered a couple of dishes to split. We tried the patatas bravas, queso de cabra, pollo ajillo, shrimp ajillo, and a steak dish (can’t remember the name, but it was delicious!). Overall, really nice dinner with great service. Would definitely come back!

Lisa Burke We had a wonderful experience at Fork and Hen. We had initially visited their original location and their food was delicious! This was our first time and the new location, and we were not disappointed. The portion sizes are amazing for the price! Every single meal was delicious, and there were many options on the menu that we would return for. The chef/owner serves your meals and returns to see how you liked it. Service was great. They have a great indoor space and a cute patio outside. We will definitely be back!

Tessa best seafood place ! delicious, seasoned, and cooked perfectly. big portions, reasonable price, good service. the food comes out very fast. my #1 seafood place.

Total Mass Retain YES Tribute band The best restaurant Ive ever eaten -- thats how the 4 of us felt after our first time eating at Chef Antonios.... so we went again the next night (lol) and felt the same!!! Im an italian from NYC and so I always say that nothing is better than a home cooked meal... THIS WAS A HOME COOKED MEAL. You enter a house converted into an elegant dining room, we were so impressed with the authenticity and quality. The hospitality is second to none. Chef Antonio himself greeted and sat us, and we had the best service from Elena. 100% recommend - no doubt about it. The only Italian restaurant in Sarasota with 5.0 rating as of the date of my review and for incredible reasons.

D N We were there yesterday and were so impressed. Love the circus theme, our waitor was amazing , the chef presented a beautiful display and tasty and came by the table to talk to us . I loved the ringmaster on my cappuccino And the decor was amazing. The tables by the window- displayed the sunset perfectly. We went to Lido beach to watch the sunset and celebrated a Bucket list item then to the restaurant- it was a memorable experience- my husband is still taking about it. Highly recommend !!!!!

Bill Howe This was our first visit for us to this restaurant in the Rosemary District. Parking was a bit of a challenge, but we circled the block and were able to take over a spot that was just vacated. We were here for Mother’s Day brunch. The host greeted us warmly and we seated promptly. Service was good even though the place was very busy. The Mother’s Day brunch menu prices were high compared to their usual menu, which has very recently priced items. I got the Quiche Lorraine with breakfast potatoes. The presentation was very bland with no garnish at all even a couple more slices would’ve been nice. It was tasty. My wife got the spinach and crab omelet, also with breakfast potatoes. It unfortunately was very bland. And the plate came without any garnish. Presentation is so important, but at least the food was good
