Restaurants near Ringling Circus Museum

Columbia is the heart and soul of Sarasota and St. Armandt Circle. It's been there over 50 years and for me it's like going home. The 1905 salad is so wonderful the black bean soup, Cuban sandwich, chicken and yellow rice, paella and so much more oh when the yellow rice, I always love that. It's something different and everyone loves it. I call it the Joe's of Miami Beach - it's the only restaurant in town that they lineup and wait to get into! ❤️🎈🌴

What a wonderful experience! My party went on Thanksgiving. We all had different entrees - duck, salmon, beef tenderloin. All were fabulous! Desserts and the espresso martinis were delicious too! Scott, our waiter, was wonderful too. He was attentive and friendly. The ambiance was cheerful and felt festive but we could have a conversation at the table without raising our voices. A great choice. I highly recommend Rosemary and Thyme for any occasion. You won’t be disappointed!

Great food. Everyone had something different and everyone liked what they had. Service was pretty good. Waited for refills on drinks a couple times but overall service was good. Prices are on the higher side but similar to other seafood restaurants. Thank you for the free dessert for our anniversary! We will be back.

Always enjoy The Grillroom at the Ringling Museum. Food, Service and ambiance are all extraordinary. Our server Betty B was terrific and the meatballs on a bed of polenta with a side salad was almost more than I could eat. My lunch partner had the Tuna Nicoise, which was equally delicious. Dining on the outdoor terrace was especially nice.

Great spot on Sarasota Bay for delicious seafood and drinks. The grouper sandwich is the best in the area. The outdoor patio is the best setting, where you can watch the boats wander by or come to be stored in the adjacent boathouse. Plan ahead as reservations are scarce and you’ll face long waits without one.
