   The mushroom bisque redeemed fungi back into my desired foods. I am now a mushroom fan.

   Beautiful setting, cute neighborhood and lovely ambiance EXCEPT the music was too loud! Our waitress was knowledgeable and attentive— much appreciated. We enjoyed her descriptions and recommendations. OMG the Parmesan beignets are incredible and the roasted mushrooms sublime as appetizers. We ordered a variety of mains including the pistachio falafels, burger, cobia fish and shrimp. Dessert was the panna cotta and ice cream with butterscotch magic shell— awesome! BTW I mixed up our reservation time but they were gracious and accommodating about it. Highly recommend and we will return!

   Easily the top restaurant in Sarasota. I could eat here every week and never get bored; the menu constantly changes. They are truly cooking up masterpieces. A+

   For this, our fourth or fifth dinner at Indigenous in the past year, one of our three favorite downtown Sarasota pre-theater restaurants, we had another great meal. The pickled vegetables appetizer were as good as ever and both my swordfish entree and my wife’s greens salad were truly excellent. The only hiccup was that although we were promptly seated at 6:10pm, our food wasn’t served until 6:50pm, which was rather stressful since our theater tickets were for a show at 7:30pm. Fortunately, we made the show just in time so everything worked out, so we’ll just write off the unusually slow service as the typical holiday business rush.

   Thank you so much for joining us! We are sorry your time frame was a bit long, we recommend letting restaurants know you need to be out by a certain time when you make the reservation. It helps us move tables around to better serve you. Thank you for being kind about it and we hope to see you again soon!

   We think Indigenous offers the very best food in Sarasota, and we dine there every time we are in town. It is a charming chef-driven restaurant offering creative dishes using the finest available local ingredients. Regrettably, we visited on New Years Eve for an expensive fixed price dinner, and the kitchen just could not seem to deliver on the main course. We finally skipped it altogether and moved on to the dessert course. To compensate, they bought the last round of drinks, hardly adequate for the unusual fail. We look forward to a better experience next time.
