Restaurants near Island House Beach Resor 13N

There are so many restaurants in Sarasota. So many of them good, most not great. Violetta is great. Vitello Tonnato, fois gras, spaghetti with shrimp and uni, ravioli stuffed with osso buco, and many traditional but not boring Italian cuisine, all executed perfectly. Well curated wine list and attentive, professional service makes for a perfect evening. I highly recommend this lovely restaurant for any occasion.

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! ❤️🎈🌴

Had our 3rd annual Thanksgiving Day meal here. Chris was our waiter at the bar area. He was attentive, knowledgeable and engaging. Food as always excellent! I love that they offer a variety of options on menu, but include the traditional turkey, stuffing, potato, green beans too! Highly recommend!

As always Clayton’s stands tall! Thanks for accommodating our large group of- we will continue to rely on Clayton’s Siesta Grill! Len

Our lunches were delicious as always. The server was outstanding. My ONLY complaint is that they keep the background music too loud. Makes it hard to talk. We did ask them to please turn it down but they didn’t. I go to lunch with friends to socialize- not to listen to music.
