    If a great Brunch at Art and Central. Food, service and ambiance is all 5⭐️ We had the Burger, Pineapple upside down French Toast and Shave Rib-Eye sandwich. Music was enjoyable and will definitely book a table for dinner.

    We sat outside on a beautiful night. Our waitress Kelly was friendly and attentive. It was a busy night with a great positive vibe. We had the feta and goat cheese appetizer. The lamb sliders. The steak salad. Banana Brûlée for dessert. All were excellent! We can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend.

    Excellent spot just North of Downtown Sarasota, restaurant has a nice vibe and great layout open to the outside and dining is available at outside tables, 2 bars, and plenty of indoor tables. Bartenders are fun, engaging, and they make great cocktails. Good wine selection, fantastic menu and all food is prepared to perfection. This was our 5th visit, it continues to be consistent and does not disappoint.

    There were 10 of us for lunch and our server, Christina, did an excellent job! Everyone enjoyed their lunch selections - really great menu. I had the oyster po’boy sandwich, yummy. In addition to the great service and food, there is also the parking lot across the street for Arts & Central. So nice to have convenient parking too :)

    I’ve eaten here several times now and it is always outstanding. I highly recommend the Harvest Bowl, grilled salmon, lamb sliders, pasta ragu, and loaded hummus with beets. Enjoy!

    Overall everything was wonderful. Only concern I had was that our server had a cough & it made me feel uncomfortable to have him dealing with food.

    Overall great. Outdoor seating on the side is a bit remote and this is the second time the kitchen has not paid attention to my GF request which is disappointing.
