    Thank goodness for our server, Laltesh!!! If it hadn’t have been for him then I fear this would have been an utterly horrible experience. How on earth does a restaurant accept a reservation for 9 people, and not have a table available when we arrive on time? To make matters worse, the manager was going to put us in a side room with no atmosphere whatsoever, basically an empty banquet room with bare tables, and said that was all they could do! Stuck to our guns, said we wanted the reservation honored in the restaurant and ended up having a lovely dinner, though 45 minutes later. We did get a drink in the house while we waited, but watched numerous large parties get seated before our party was seated. All VERY disappointing when I had made the reservation, messaged the restaurant AND called them on the day to make sure everything was in order. Hate to write negative reviews, especially when the kitchen staff and servers are working so hard, but front of house need to get their act together in this establishment!!!

    We dined in the upstairs main dining room. The service was great. The food excellent in flavor and presentation. The view of the Sarasota waterfront and skyline was wonderful. Be prepared for a pricey meal. Drinks, dinner and coffee ran over $200 with tim for two people.
