I would have rated 1592 five stars but the one dish we wanted moussaka was unavailable. It seems like an oversight.

Probably our favorite restaurant in Sarasota and the area. Here is the honest foodie’s truth - there is a surprising amount of really mediocre, overpriced, food in SRQ. 1592 is different. It actually is amazing food. Vegetable and meat forward, full of flavor. Amazing wine, reasonably priced. Food is fresh, full of flavor and not just salt (like other places). Execution is consistent and spot on. Great atmosphere, also consistent. Amazing cocktails. The use of fresh herbs and sauces is spot on. The smoked eggplants baba ghanoush is to die for!! There’s not a single thing we’ve had that was not good. Highly highly recommend.

Delicious as always! Beautiful, fresh vegetables and dips. Octopus was fantastic and none of the dishes were overly salted.

Not the best way to welcome visitors to SW Florida! We’ve enjoyed 1592 before and wanted to bring family for a fun and delicious dinner - no one was happy with the quality or taste of their meal. Sad to see the drop in quality of food and servers …. Our waiter and the bus team got into a spat and then they didn’t help him or the clients waiting for water, etc.

The food was good but unfortunately the service was quite poor. Maybe you are too understaffed but our server was not around much. After asking multiple times, we final got water for the table. We never got proper plates and silverware to eat our pizza, even after asking several times. We tried to order another bottle of wine for our table and that never came either.
