Restaurants near Myakka Head Park

This restaurant is one of our favorites. It’s where we take family and friends for an enjoyable culinary experience. The atmosphere is attractive, sophisticated and friendly. My husband and I are foodies so we especially favor Fuego. (This restaurant isn’t just Mexican or Latin American.) Jason is an excellent chef and has great food sources from around the world! Last night, the four of us ordered Faroe island salmon— the evening special. It was fabulous!

We decided to have an early dinner and went there at 4pm. Our server was attentive. We ordered the seasonal sausage bread for an appetizer and it was delicious. I had the zoodles with mushroom Bolognese sauce. My husband had the homemade lasagna. The food was very tasty. We had a very pleasant experience.

I frequently visit Cooper’s Hawk in Sarasota almost every weekend with my fiancée and sister In law, and I can’t recommend it enough, especially thanks to the outstanding service from Shelley and Anthony. They truly elevate the experience with their attentiveness and care. Shelley, in particular, went above and beyond by explaining the wine club membership in such a thorough and engaging way—because of her, we’re now proud members! Anthony is equally fantastic—always with a friendly smile, quick to offer recommendations, and ensures that everything runs smoothly. Every time we visit, the food is consistently excellent, and we always leave satisfied. From the warm welcome to the impeccable service, this place always delivers. I rate it on a 5-boom meter, and this visit definitely earns the full 5 booms!

Five stars for everything. The food was excellent, the service was wonderful, and the atmosphere was really great. A lot of choices on the menu so it was hard to decide. Will have to return to try others.

Gluten-free options are wonderful. We had both the mushroom and cheesesteak gluten-free flatbreads as well as a beet salad. All of them were absolutely delicious. Our reservation was close to the time that they were just opening and it was very cold inside. I imagine once more people came in, it would be a lot warmer. That was the only downside everything else was great.
