We've been to Cilantro a few times and always happy with the service and food quality. The ambiance on the deck is very relaxed and with elevated view of St Armand's circle. The menu is very mixed but we usually come for brunch and crepes which have been great with variety of flavors savory and sweet. read more

Food was OK but not great. Kind of bland with not much flavor. Service was good. A bit pricey but considering the location, understandable.

We stopped at Cilantro go too for a quick lunch. I was beyond excited to see that they serve all day breakfast including crepes. I haven't seen savory crepes on many menus in Florida so I was so excited to try the La Paris. It was honestly one of the best meals I've had in Florida in awhile. I wanted to try the dessert crepes but I was so full from eating every bite of my meal (I will be back). Arianna was our server, she offered great service and was filled with great recommendations. As for the ambiance, the view was beautiful, I do wish they provided fans for the outdoor seating. It was a really hot day and we were pretty sweaty by the end of lunch. Price was extremely reasonable for the area, overall I will definitely be back and recommend this location to friends and family. read more

Nice place! Best crepes I ever had Great service and amazing prices Drinks were ok! Mimosas were not cold but I will be going back! read more

Service was good. My wife had fish tacos she thought were good. The fish was sautéed and mildly spiced. I had chicken nachos that were average. Needed more salsa. It had the liquid queso cheese I didn't like. Would have been better with shredded cheese. Price was high for lunch. Not much ambiance. Just a few tables and a few booths read more

GREAT food and GREAT service! What else is there? Well, there is also a GREAT view of St. Armand's Circle from their balcony, and it's not expensive, either, so it's pretty much a home run on all counts. Unlike most restaurants, who tend to treat potatoes as an afterthought (Why?) and often serve up frozen, tasteless garbage that is undercooked, their "home fries" are perfectly golden brown with the most amazing flavor. And they are one of the few restaurants (only?) who know how to cook scrambled eggs. We went there for brunch, but they also have a decent-looking lunch and dinner menu. Highly recommended. read more

Great breakfast and nice patio! We ate here on a Saturday morning. We got there around 930 and Just barely beat the crowd. But once they got busy our service suffered a little. We waited a while for the check. Very friendly just not enough staff. I got the Cilantro scramble and it was delicious! I don't like spicy and the chorizo was perfect for me. Not hot! Definitely worth a visit. read more

Got chicken tortilla soup. Very blend no taste at all and too much celery . Greek salad that my fiancé had was pretty good though. read more

Cilantro Grill - Chicken tortilla soup - Creperies Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

This place is a hidden gem! On the second floor above Columbia in St Armand's circle. Big selection of breakfast and lunch food--crepes, omelets and sandwiches--all freshly prepared to order. I had a chicken fajita omelet which was delicious and wife had 3 taco plate--looked great. Amazing view of St Armand's from the second floor. We will be back! read more

The view is great the customer service was amazing. But the food I HADDDDDDDD to eat beach we we paid $79 for Nutella waffle pancakes cilantro scrambled eggs and 3 tacos orange juice mamosas and a beer. It's not how much we payed for it that upset me. It's that I would like to have enjoyed the food and I really didn't. I'm sorry to say I wouldn't recommend this place If your getting just drinks sure !!!!!!!! read more

Breakfast was awesome & so much to choose from. Seafood options as well as traditional fare. We are looking forward to trying them out for lunch or dinner next! Short 1 floor elevator ride upstairs & next to St. Armand's Travel above Columbia. read more

The waffle was mediocre at best because the batter was lacking in taste. Soggy and not thick enough or done through. The view is nice of the circle on days like this but the fruit bowl is one to go for. read more

See all

Nice server. Below average service. Tacos were 3 out of 10, although fresh, they were somewhat tasteless and totally fell apart all over the plate with every bite. After our food came we never saw the server again, even after my water glass was empty. Also - we were served chips with our salsa that were on the verge of being stale. The chips and salsa weren't on the menu, so when we got out bill three were beyond over charged at 9.00 for them. Yuck!!! In summation - 3 out of 10 for total review. Don't think we'll be back. read more

The reviews are odd. Came on Sunday for brunch. There is a guy by the elevator with a menu. Reminded me of Mexico. Being local the prices were a little high but decided on the nachos. Got some fresh brewed iced tea. Tea was fresh. Service was good. The nachos were not. Sorry no photos by looks they were ok but we had cheese sauce not fresh cheese, guacamole looked like it was from a tube and not fresh. Chips were from a bag but said fresh on the menu. The worst part was that the carnitas was sour and spoiled. I had to spit it out in my napkin. We called the waiter over and he took it back. On a good note they did not charge us which was nice and why I have given them 2 stars but I feel for $14.95 the nachos should have fresh ingredients. I could get this at a fast food restaurant and probably not spoiled. read more

Wanted a nice breakfast before we left Longboat Key and chose this place because the breakfast menu sounded good and it had a balcony with a great view. We were one of only a few tables when we arrived. The server was great at first - but then it took over 30 minutes for our food to come out. When it did, there was a hair in my food and I was completely unappetized after. It then took an additional 10 minutes to get our check and an additional 10 minutes to finally cash out. The server barely checked on us and it was incredibly disappointing. read more

First impression was concerning because no one was really there besides maybe one or two couples when everything around the circle is basically mayhem on top of the weird access on the second level but they were welcoming and accommodating for a party of 5. Good view from the outside terrace. Service was very good and speedy as far as getting food out. Food was decent no complaints. They offered lunch and dinner at dinner time and even were able to do a special request for a waffle. read more

We ate lunch at this restaurant earlier this week. We were greeted and seated very promptly. They let us know that breakfast is available all day. The waiter was very attentive, and kept our drinks refilled. We ordered an array of different tacos and burritos. The side of salsa with the tacos was extremely good, and we especially enjoyed the lobster tacos! I highly recommend this place, and we'll definitely return to this restaurant, if we revisit Sarasota. read more

We had a good breakfast in this place. Great service and a nice view outside on the patio. The prices were very reasonable too which is a plus. read more

I absolutely love this place! We were here early before the rush for breakfast! The service was amazing and the food was on point! I got huevos rancheros.. the potatoes it came with .. were devoured by my little person along with her stuffed french toast (raspberry)! We will definitely be back! This is a must while in the area! read more

My friend and I were walking around St. Armand's and stumbled upon this little hidden gem. The menu provided a lot of selections so we kept them in mind for the following day. Fast forward - We ordered brunch two days in a row because the food was so good!!! Once as a delivery and the following day we went in person to eat. Reasonable prices and the food was perfect portions. I would highly recommend this restaurant for those who want a tasty brunch! read more

We stopped here before going back to the airport for a quick lunch. My wife had a light yogurt parfait that she loved, and I ordered the seafood taco combination (grouper shrimp and lobster) all were great. Our server was friendly and quick. We really enjoyed food and view from the 2nd floor was also worth the walk up the stairs! read more

Great Food... Great view of Saint Armonds Square. Relaxing lunch. Don't miss this hidden gem

Great location with perfect view of St Armand's Circle. We had the burger and quesadillas; both were tasty, fresh and well-presented. Service was good also. Prices were reasonable. A very good option for casual dining. We will return and recommend to friends & family. read more

Lovely second floor terrace overlooking the square. Very attentive staff. Buckwheat crepe with spinach and cheese perfectly done. Waffles nothing too special. Had thought they would be Belgian waffles, but seemed more like American style waffles. Would come back for the ambiance. read more

The food sucks here. Food was bland. I love Mexican food but they don't do a good job here

We had brunch here yesterday! Crepes and pancakes amazing! Steak tacos really yummy and chicken empanadas so fresh! And truly the best, freshest margaritas ever - had to have 2! Everything was so fresh read more

Last stop before heading to airport. The service and food was horrible. No drink refill offers, no napkins, no check ins. The food took over 30 minutes. The margarita tasted like soap. When the wobbly table caused the margarita to spill. We asked for a replacement, and it was never delivered. When asked to take it off the bill, we were told, you spilled the margarita, not us. We had to chase someone down for over ten minutes to pay our bill. We love lido key, but not this restaurant read more

Had breakfast there on Saturday morning and the shrimp and lobster omelette was amazing. We sat out on the upstairs balcony and enjoyed the summer morning rain fall. Coffee was also wonderful! Go there! read more

Cilantro Grill - Great food, Ordered Cilantro Scrambled Eggs and St Armands Crepe with Lobster. Best scrambled Eggs I ever had. - Creperies Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

We loved this place - we were looking for a quick bite to eat while shopping. Excellent service - the place was almost empty - but I have no idea why. Food was excellent and prompt. I had the shrimp tacos, my wife had the shrimp entree and daughter had a crepe. I would highly recommend checking it out - it is on the upper level just above one of the super popular restaurants. Don't hesitate to go upstairs if the line below is to long. read more

Food is delicious. I had the Huevos Rancheros and they were mouthwatering. So good in fact, I came back the next day for breakfast and had them again. Very friendly service as well. read more

Amazing burgers and prices. This place gave me the freshest burger and fries in the circle. I will return here again to try out other items from the menu. read more

A great little hideaway of a retaurant with second floor seating in the heart of St. Armand' Circle I had the seafood crepe and was very delicious and savory, I could not eat the whole thing and my dinner mate assisted in finishing it, came with rice and beans along with a crispy ceasar salad, just delicous. My dinner mate had the lobster tacos and was very impressed. The salsa was fresh and had the right amount of kick, intend to go back Would recommend. read more

Great food and great service. Many times being on the circle you never get a chance to wind down and just enjoy yourself. Highly recommend

We had guests from out of town and wanted to show them a few of our favorite spots. After a few hours at the beach, we decided to bring them to what used to be our favorite spot for lunch in the circle. Our friends ordered taco salad and burrito bowls with beef- I ordered veggie fajitas and we ordered chips/salsa for the table. Beef in my friend's dish was cold and she was concerned it may be unsafe. When we told waitress and she told chef, we were told that's how they make it and "it's a salad, it's supposed to be cold". My friend ended up sending it back and not having anything for lunch. Other issues:Chips and salsa (out of a bag and not fresh like stated on menu) came out mid meal instead of at start, guacamole looks like it is squeezed out of a tube. I did not receive beans with my fajitas and when I asked, was told they don't come with fajitas- menu clearly states they do?!?! Overall so disappointing and embarrassing for us after we raved about this place. Will not be going back to this place again. Steer clear unless you don't care about service and quality. read more

Terrific food & margaritas. Very reasonable price. Had a shrimp quesadilla and my friend had a burger, both were amazing!
