    The food has gone downhill. Also told hostess we were celebrating a birthday - yet they didn’t bring any dessert, candle or other recognition etc. Disappointing.

    Two stand out share options made us happy. The whole roasted cauliflower was probably the best thing I've eaten in Sarasota. No kidding. The whipped feta, the pomegranate and crunchy beans atop a perfectly cooked veg. Also, perfectly prepared and flavored were the brussel sprouts. Chef's kiss perfection.

    Over the past few years, we have made several trips to Veronica's. We like the ambiance of this establishment and the South Village. Last evening, as usual our martinis were served cold with generous pours. Our server Steven was friendly and attentive, but difficult to hear at times over the loud background noise of conversations. Some better acoustic deadening might be in order. The oysters were fresh and tasty, the tuna suffered from an overdose of salt and was almost inedible. My burger was excellent, my wife's Mahi sandwich was good. Our friends shared the lobster fra diavlo, which I passed on at $48. Overall a decent meal but on the pricey side.

    The Caesar salad was excellent and also the salmon and grouper. They don't de-bone the Branzino or I would have had that. We have only had good meals here!
