Not sure why this airport restaurant has bad reviews -…read more Food is great, especially shareables. Ambience is chill - love the warm lighting and the fact the music isn't too loud to chat. My man got an old fashioned (not on the menu) and it was legit. Yes, prices are inflated, like at all airports - but it's good. Service solid - sitting at the bar does that. Excellent way to spend a 3-hour flight delay, really. Even the Wahlburgers nearby closed by 8pm, so super glad we sat at Mattison's.

I don't know if I'd call them hashbrowns or not, but soooo much better than home fries like most places in airports have. Shelby was great to have for a server this morning, she was friendly, energetic and pleasant to be around. The setting is your typical airport bar/restaurant stop, but was a quick in and out for me too. Next time I'm through SRQ I'll be sure to grab breakfast here again!!

Came here on a Thursday night for their boozy Bingo and totally enjoyed my experience…read more As I was looking for this restaurant based on their address and couldn't find it, a restaurantaur noticed our confusion and said make a right and go down the alleyway. Oh wow, this is going to be interesting. Off we went and yes, there was the speakeasy bar we were looking for. We walked in and were like, OK, this is cool. It was dark with a cool vibe and friendly service. We had a hard time deciding on what cocktail to get because they had so many that looked great. My friend got the espresso martini and I got the Thin Mint. Both were very good. Had a ton of fun playing bingo too. Would definitely go back

It has a cool vibe and inviting atmosphere, with friendly service and innovative cocktails.

We were impressed with her recommendations. She made us feel very welcome, which added to our fantastic meal. We enjoyed all of the appetizers - spanakopita, grilled octopus, spicy fries with feta, and dolmades. All were delicious, however, my favorites were the dolmades and grilled octopus. For dinner, we ordered the beet and feta salad and open face lamb and chicken pita. Absolutely delicious! To end our meal, we shared the carrot cake with pecans and cranberries. The combination was out of this world. Looking forward to dining here again. Thank you for the great meal and service.

Beso Sarasota was a really great dinner with our close friends and our kids, and it ended up being…read morea very smooth and enjoyable experience. Service was excellent--the pacing of the food was especially well done, with dishes coming out at just the right intervals so we could actually enjoy everything as it arrived. Cocktails were well made, and our friends were very happy with the wine selection. We ordered a large portion of the menu, and most dishes were really flavorful and well executed, very true to what tapas dining should feel like. The only two things that didn't quite work for me were the vegetable paella and the mushroom toast, but everything else was solid to excellent. They also did a great job accommodating us with kids. We had a nice semi-private table upstairs, which made the whole dinner feel comfortable and easy for a group. Overall, it's a great place for both groups and date nights, and I'd happily return.

We ordered the watermelon salad and the Queso de Cabra. Both were very good. We then ordered the lamb skewers, the beef cheeks, shrimp and the potatoes. Everything was good except for the shrimp. We had the Flan for dessert which was great. The restaurant is very noisy so I would suggest getting an outdoor table. Our server was terrific with great service and suggestions. The restaurant has an upstairs, downstairs, bar and outdoor seating. We also enjoyed the Sangria. Our friend ordered a gin and tonic and a glass of white wine. He complained to the server how small the glasses were. Our bill for four of us was $260 which is way too high for the size of the portions.

What an absolute gem of a restaurant. The ambiance is artsy, whimsical, fun--and it all just works…read more Really well. Our server, Juliana, provided absolute perfection. She was bright, effervescent, eager to please, extremely knowledgeable about every drink and food item on the menu, always present when needed but never hovering. She has perfected her craft and it made for a wonderful experience. The menu is written with flair and verve, and every offering seems irresistible. We wanted to try everything, but of course couldn't, so we made do with a couple of their signature cocktails (wonderful), a flatbread appetizer (also wonderful) and the very delicious meat loaf and the gemelli pasta entrees. I 10 out of 10 in every respect. We were quite concerned that we were the only patrons in the restaurant during our entire meal. It was early on a Tuesday evening in low season, but still. I hope more folks discover Wink Wink as it would be a shame to lose such a treasure. I would think they might want to consider offering a happy hour to boost things a bit. On the other hand, they could be doing very well and we just hit an off night. Go. Try it. The whole experience will be very entertaining with the art and whimsy of the decor and the menu. Great vibes. and the service and food were wonderful.

Prior to today's visit, I would have given this place 5/5 stars. Today, the music was not only too loud (losing its established sophistication, but also the type of music they were playing is different from the past repertoire of music). It cheapened the place and IMO lost a bit of its luster. Hence, my 4/5 rating.
