    Grandma's flatbread
    Suzanne W.

    Visited this spot with friends a few nights ago. Very chill vibe. Friendly staff. Our waiter helped us navigate the menu which was a big help. Food was good.

    Truffle fries, and zucchini fries

    Great food and service on a Saturday night for our girls trip! We were able to grab a table outside and ordered some drinks, appetizers and main entrées to share. Definitely recommend getting there early if you're going to do their Saturday or Sunday brunch as it does get busy. They have a huge bar with seating as well as tables inside and outside. We ordered truffle fries and zucchini fries, as well as brie/pear and chicken flatbread and the Ahi tuna crops appetizer. Everything got to the table hot and you can tell they use fresh ingredients. Next time you're in the area make sure you stop by.

    We went on a Saturday night and had a party of 7. We were seated quickly with our reservation, but our waiter didn't come by for quite some time and when he did, he expected us to order everything at once instead of asking for our drink order. He never came to check on us once we got our food and didn't refill our drinks that were all empty. The food was good overall and they have a great variety to please everyone! The food came out pretty quickly too. The second floor was very loud and hard to hear. Overall, I recommend this place for the food more than the service but could have just been that server that night!

    We' e been trying to eat at several of the restaurants in downtown Sarasota. So many with great reviews. We had lunch here today and everything was outstanding ... food , service and ambiance. All we had was a burger and a salad. They actually split both the burger and the salad when they heard we were sharing ... didn't even have to ask. Oh yea... the truffle parm fries ( OMG) I'll def come back here and do dinner next time. Our server that took care of us was the sweetest (did't get her name)

    I enjoyed our visit to Boca. We were seated upstairs and really enjoyed the view of the rest of the restaurant and the privacy of the seating area. It was quiet but also didn't feel secluded. Our waitress was great and made sure we had everything we needed and checked back with us often. For our food and drink - I had a ginger pomberry non-alcoholic drink and it was phenomenal. My husband had their Cardigan cocktail and it was also really good. For dinner I had the seafood scampi. The seafood was definitely plentiful and well prepared. I enjoyed the flavor of the sauce and overall enjoyed the dish. My husband raved about his Bolognese.

    The environment and vibe of this place is awesome! Ordered a mojito with dinner and it was great. The waitress my table had was very kind and attentive. We ordered the lobster wontons as an appetizer and they were out of this world. The filling and the sauce were both so flavorful. The entree of sweet potato gnocchi was okay, but it was under seasoned. Some others at the table felt the same (they ordered the same dish) and asked for salt and pepper. Once we seasoned it, it tasted great! The chicken was nicely cooked. I was disappointed in the broccolini, it was in the item description as if it were more of a part of the dish, but it was just a garnish and hard to eat. The gnocchi was soft and pillowy, so I did appreciate that!

    Everything is always really good at any Boca restaurant but the atmosphere at this one really stood out. Loved being able to sit at a comfortable booth close to the doors so we still had an outside feel to sitting inside. Got the corn fritters and fries for appetizers and really loved the corn fritters. Was surprised how much cheese was in there but still loved it. I was able to get a spicy non alcoholic margarita off menu and they made it great. The poke bowl was pretty good and got the tuna seared. Service was great they were super accommodating and nice. Everyone overall liked their food and drinks. Great time and happy to come back one day.

    Enjoying the evening

    We went 2 nights in a row . The first night we had just arrived in Sarasota and we had Jenny as a server . I had the beet salad with chicken and my husband had the burger . We enjoyed the food and service so decided to make reservations for the next night ! Nora the hostess was very attentive as we wanted to sit outside but people weren't moving and we were flexible and wanted to wait . She made sure we had a cocktail and checked in often . We had Rebecca as a server and she was awesome when the temperature started to drop she brought over a heater ! I had the skirt steak based on reviews and it was exactly as described and cooked to perfection. My husband had the bolognese and was very happy ! The Brussel sprout appetizer was crispy without being greasy and delicious ! I highly recommend this restaurant for service, food and ambiance ! Sorry no pictures we forgot and ate it all !

    Pretty good visit. Excellent whiskey selection. Food was 3.5 stars. Service was good and the environment was great ouside. I'd recommend against the ceasar but definitely try the Crab Benedict.

    This restaurant is right in the heart of downtown Sarasota. I came here for lunch on a weekday and it wasn't crowded at all, we likely didn't even need the reservation we had in place. We decided to sit outside so we could people watch and enjoy the gorgeous weather too. Our waitress was very nice and helped with recommendations--I decided to get the poke bowl which wasn't too bad. I kind of would have liked it to be a bit more substantial but it was mostly filling which was good. The whole menu offers very fresh items which is a huge plus too. I wouldn't mind stopping in here again for a light meal when downtown isn't busy.

    I loved this location- right downtown (which has a sweet and historical feel) with free parking Sundays. It was very loud inside so we asked to be sat somewhere quieter, kindly accommodated by putting us under the stairs where we still couldn't really hear each other. Our food was delicious, they got the mussels and the caesar salad with chicken, and I got the sweet potato gnocchi. I thought my entree was seriously delicious, as were the apps we shared- the zucchini fries and brussels sprouts (especially the sauces those apps came with!) Our waiter seemed a bit flustered, maybe he was new but he definitely dropped the ball a few times. We had to wait a long while to get our order in after getting drinks and it seemed like there were a lot of staff standing around or socializing, which was frustrating. The food was so good but due to the strange service I won't be returning any time soon.

    Pulled pork benedicts.
    Deanna A.

    We ordered their chicken and waffle and wish they didnt put the sausage gravy all over the chicken cz it made it soggy. 1 order can be shared with a child. Their pulled pork benedicts were good but the potatoes that came with it was just ok. They were soft but not crispy. Americano could have been a little stronger. The place was nice and can accommodate large parties. Service was good also but the server kept asking what sides to add to the meal when it doesnt really come with a side, its an extra.

    Nirvani M.

    We came for brunch and were able to book a reservation just an hour before, even on a weekend, which was very convenient for our party of seven. We were seated right away without any wait. The food did not really stand out to anyone in our group, and the service was just average. We had to flag down servers a few times when we could not locate ours. The interior was pleasant, and there was plenty of seating available. Street parking wasn't too hard to find.

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.

Cubed yellow fin tuna: Also a very large portion and good flavour but it could have gone without the tomatos (and I love tomato's) And perhaps served with a rice cup or something to scoop it up. Everything is diced up so it makes it kind of messy to eat. We got a burger to split. we didn't order a side but the waiter I guess put them in anyhow. The FF without the poutine are just ok. The burger on the other hand was really good and cooked perfectly. We split everything and took home left overs, as it was a lot of food. We shared the butterscotch gelato and had coffee to go with it. The service is good, The athompshere is pleasant. We will definitely be back to try some of the other items. I'm not a greek fan so I wouldn't touch those but my husband will. :)

As we wandered about looking for someplace for dinner (the place we had intended for the evening was maxed out with one large party, so needed to look elsewhere) realized we just happened upon a place we had driven by a couple of times called "The Doctors Office". They had a beautiful garden area outside where people were dining, but it was a pretty warm night, so decided to check out the inside - where we found a really cool space and were greeted by the host asking: "Do you have an appointment?" (Get it? Doctors office...reservations...appointment!? Too cute a play on the doctor's office thing! : ) Well, we did NOT have said appointment (and the main dining area was quite full!) but thankfully there was one table remaining in the back lounge area, which was through a hidden door made to look like a bookshelf! This area also had its own cool vibe. Waiter (Matt) immediately placed two little medicine cups in front of us - to sample their cherry rum punch. Delish. I ordered a cocktail (cannot recall the name but along the lines of a manhattan) while my DH stayed with red wine (boooooo-ring! ; ) We shared the smoked salmon appetizer (super yummo!) Then on to dinner. OK, we're talking seafood country here! But, over the course of the several days we've been here, I ordered seafood every single time. I adore seafood but was ready for something else. So, was being realistic when I ordered something on the beef realm. Got the short rib dish and it did not disappoint. It was excellent. Maybe not the "easily shredded with a fork" ones I have had elsewhere, but certainly super tasty and not at all tough or fatty. DH got the shrimp-lobster tacos and said they were incredible! No leftovers coming home with this guy! Our waiter, Matt, was new to this establishment (but not waitering) and was attentive and personable - above and beyond. Would highly recommend. No, you're not going to get any water views (this place is sort of hidden away in an obscure spot behind a plaza) but well worth the visit!

She rudely told us it would be fine and that we could just move to another table if we started getting rained on--which made zero sense since we'd still be outside. I figured everyone has a bad day, so we let it go. Unfortunately, the entrees were disappointing. The portions were way too small, the food wasn't nearly good enough for the price point, and the fish was severely overcooked. I probably wouldn't come back here for dinner, but if you're just looking for a good spot to grab drinks, it's worth a try.

The menu - though not expansive - offered a fish, a steak, a chicken, a pasta, a burger, wagyu meatloaf, salads and several other options, appetizers, a full bar & wine. The four of us were very pleased with the food, service - and live music (guitar/singer was excellent). Overall experience, 4.8 stars out of 5. For that, we'd definitely return. However - the parking experience was a fiasco. Given this was our first visit, my husband circled the hotel/restaurant twice as the clogged pull-in area was full and there was no valet in sight. Also / no signage to direct us. Finally - my husband opted to pull into a reserved lot behind the hotel/restaurant and temporarily parked as I sought someone to direct us.... I walked past the valet "station" - nobody there (perhaps busy with other guests) and I headed to the restaurant to request assistance with parking. My husband followed shortly as he found the valet and asked if ok to leave the car - the male valet handed us a parking placard and said he'd take care of it, no problem. Ten minutes later a young lady valet approached our table - telling us she dug thru my glovebox to find us - asking if we realized she could have us towed. Beyond rude. We attempted to tell her the other valet had checked us in - but she continued down a shaming diatribe at our table - telling us how folks park back there illegally, etc. When we asked to speak to a manager, the young lady valet informed us that her company was a third party and she was not employed by the restaurant so our dissatisfaction with her rude & threatening behavior was nothing the hotel or restaurant manager could do anything about.... Eventually she walked away /her nasty attitude intact - and the male valet squared things so we could enjoy a lovely dinner. When exiting, no valet in sight again, we waited at the pull-in area where two other couples stood next to cars asking us where they were supposed to park or find the valet. Another couple were standing next to their car asking where the valets went, waiting for their keys to depart. Fiasco. Time for a better valet system! So Wink Wink gets a 5 but the valet is a big negative. We live here year round and there are too many options in Sarasota to deal with a valet threatening to tow us at our dining table.
