Best Brunch Restaurants in Lake Sarasota

We visit Cooper’s Hawk often and always have a great experience. On this visit nothing has changed. Our wine came out quickly, appetizers were hot and delivered before the meal as expected. My husband had the pork chop and grouper from the “surf and turf” selection. He thought they were both delicious and served hot. I had my usual, soy salmon and was not disappointed. We had seen some of the reviews from a few days ago and expected delays…. Not so. Considering the busy time of year, Cooper’s Hawk has their act together.

We had a great Christmas meal. Three of us enjoyed an appetizer, the 1905 tableside salad, and entrees. Two had fish - both were delicious. The only disappointment was the special Christmas dinner pork meal, which was dry and barely lukewarm as if it had been sitting waiting for the others. The service was stellar - friendly, informative, knowledgeable, timely, but allowed us to enjoy the experience over a period of time without feeling rushed even though the place was jam packed.

We sat outside and staff turned on a heater near us. The meals were excellent and the service was wonderful. First time and will definitely be returning!

The restaurant has a nice ambiance to it. The food & desert were very good. The staff is very attentive and made the whole experience so much more enjoyable.

Very good food and vibe. Service was very good too. We had the artichoke and spinach dip as an appetizer and tuna nachos. Lived them both.
