Super pizza round and square, fresh produits and great service !!!
Lucky 8
The best burger I’ve had in the United States. I had the chicken one. My husband ordered the smash burger, and it was excellent too. The atmosphere is lively and fun. Good service. And the Coke doesn't taste like bleach! A great spot if you’re craving a really good burger!
Lucky 8
Super nice place with a great atmosphere, friendly service, and quite possibly the best burgers in Sarasota.

First time here and we really enjoyed it! We both went for the Double Smash Burger with potato salad. The burger was juicy, full of flavor, and came with cheese, pickles, and Lucky sauce on a sesame bun. The potato salad had that classic mustard taste and was really good too. Lots more on the menu we want to try. We’ll definitely be back!
Napulé Restaurant
Incredible Italian in Sarasota. The place is gorgeous, i’ve tried many of the dishes from the lunch menu and all were really good. The pastas and bread are all homemade and delicious. Usually not too busy for lunch time, it’s better to make a reservation at night especially during season.
Alpine Steakhouse and Butcher Shop
The best steakhouse in Sarasota and the place to go to buy juicy meat for your next BBQ
Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse
Perfectly cooked filet mignon, great atmosphere, and an excellent wine menu.
Drunken Poet Cafe Thai Bistro & Sushi Bar
Fresh sushi, flavorful pad thai, and excellent shumai. Great vibes and great food.
Rick's French Bistro
A taste of Bouchon Lyonnais. Checkered red and white tablecloth. The classics of our French grand ma home cooking. A journey back in time and taste.
