Best Date Night Restaurants in Gulf Gate Estates

My friend and I met for lunch and while we originally planned to eat on the outside patio, it was too chilly and the staff pleasantly relocated us inside. She ordered the seafood chowder and spinach salad, which she found excellent. I ordered the chicken with avocado on a hoagie roll. The chicken was dry and very salty and I would not plan to order it again. I have been to Tripletail several times and have always had an excellent experience so this one meal would prevent me from returning. 

Absolutely delicious Tried something new and was not disappointed I got the salt crusted sea bass. It was prepared table side Amazing as was the yellow tail special, the cappuccino and the ammerato gelato Yum

Have eaten here several times and it is always outstanding. Glad they reopened after the damage from the hurricane. Menu is always interesting, food excellent, service excellent (Chris was our latest waiter), table by the water gives excellent view even of the Osprey nest not far away. Though "pricey", it is always an exceptional experience and one we always remember and look forward to.

Authentic Italian cuisine!! The service was excellent and the food was outstanding. A must try!

Eating at Michael’s is a special treat when visiting Sarasota. This time we chose three dishes: the charcuterie board, sea bass, and chopped salad. The charcuterie board was outstanding, and the sea bass with risotto was excellent. To my taste, the chopped salad was not as good. It was overdressed with a somewhat sweet dressing, reminiscent of Russian dressing.
