    Best steak in town. My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful prime rib and filet together to bring in the New Year. We have lived in Sarasota for 5 years, and finally discovered the best! We would recommend the lobster bisque as well. Great service and a wonderful staff. We will definitely be bringing our fiends here.

    Tripletail is hands down the best seafood restaurant in Sarasota. I should add that one of friends had the medallions of steak and was very pleased. The other three of us had the scallop special which had 8 scallops on delicious rice with a citrus sauce of some kind. Just delicious and we couldn’t eat it all and all three took a few home. We came to Tripletail last Christmas Eve and will come next year that’s how much we like it. We send out an extra thank you to Matt our wonderful server. We ask for him special.
