The ambiance was upbeat, warm, and just a really pleasant place to relax. What stood out most was the service--the manager came by several times, always smiling and genuinely making sure we were enjoying everything. That kind of attention goes a long way. The steak was excellent, and my daughter absolutely loved her chicken. Overall, a fantastic experience. Definitely recommend if you're in Sarasota.

Libby's was our FAV restaurant in all of Sarasota. We came here on a Saturday night and sat in a…read morelovely little spot right at the threshold between indoor and outdoor. Our server Casey was one of the best in the biz - he made the experience so great! We felt like we were besties with him. We shared the shrimp as an appetizer and ate it alarmingly fast. Then for entrees, my darling got the Chicken Milanese (Casey gave the hot tip to do mashed potatoes as a side and that was a crucial and worthwhile decision) and I got two apps as my entree, the Brussels sprouts and the Tuna tataki. The tuna is something I will be thinking about for years to come. We polished it all off by sharing a deliiiiightful key lime pie, a 10/10 choice. All the employees at Libby's are top tier and so kind, and we couldn't stop talking about our dinner here for the rest of our time in Sarasota. Can't wait to come back :)

My party of three decided to give Waffle Monkey a try for breakfast and we were not disappointed…read more This place has great service with a smile, delicious food, yummy drinks and a decent price point. We will definitely visit again when we are in Florida!

It was tempting to order the waffle staple Chicken & Waffles but the one that caught my eye on the…read moresavory waffles list was the Big Breakfast, a waffle with ham & cheese baked in. That sounded good, and it was. While I would have preferred having more ham involved, the waffle was cooked perfectly. Cheese was both inside and sprinkled outside, and being topped with an egg topped off my breakfast. And while I enjoyed my food a customer at another table had a waffle with three peaks of whipped cream. I wanted one of those too. Next time. I liked the place, situated along historic Palm Ave, historic until whatever is getting built along the other side of the road gets finished. They have table service and several tables inside, and they also do takeout. A jungle wall mural and some monkey merch reminds you this is a cool place to be.

What a delightful little place! We arrived around 8:30 a.m. and although it was already a bit busy,…read morewe were seated right away. We chose a table on their adorable back patio, which was shaded with umbrellas and kept comfortable with fans throughout the area. They offer daily food and drink specials, along with a large menu packed with plenty of great options. Our food arrived quickly, was served hot, and tasted delicious. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we'll definitely be back!

If you're looking for the most dry, bland breakfast in Sarasota, this place has unfortunately…read moremastered it. The food had zero flavor, like they forgot seasoning even exists. And the bread? It was toasted so hard it could've doubled as a roofing shingle. Nothing about the meal felt fresh, enjoyable, or worth the price. Sarasota has too many good breakfast spots to waste a morning here. Definitely won't be back.

The service was not our favorite, with them trying to upsell us at every single opportunity. I…read moreunderstand trying, but over five times is too many times. The decor is very nice; it is a very cute place. We got the fried banana peppers, which were definitely our favorite part of the whole experience, but they weren't spicy at all like we expected. We both got the breakfast burrito, which was pretty dry and covered in a fake type of cheese that I thought was pretty gross tasting. My mom did not like the hash brown casserole. I thought it was okay, just not very flavorful. My mom got a cold brew coffee, which was actually disgusting, and she loves coffee. She added two full glasses of water to it and it was still overwhelming. I don't like coffee but did try it, and I had to rinse the flavor out of my mouth. We definitely won't be back.

I wish I could give them more stars than 5. From the moment we walk up, they are so inviting,…read morehelpful and nice. The menu has the best breakfast options. Our favorite is the seafood eggs Benedict, the gulf shrimp eggs Benedict, islander omelet too. We love the blueberry muffin split and grilled with butter and the fruit is so fresh.

Tracy was our server, we had a really bad experience trying to eat at a café, but got ignored. We…read morewere greeted immediately by a friendly hostess and seated in Tracey's station at a beautiful outdoor patio table. Five star experience from start to finish, great recommendations from the server and all proves to be fantastic. We started with wuevos rancheros, ordered a croissant sandwich with egg cheddar, bacon, avocado, and sprouts, and also a blackened chicken salad. The food is fantastic and it was so good that we ordered a second plate of the rancheros. Thank you for being such a beacon of joy Tracy and thank you for the incredible meal. We will be back anytime we come back to siesta keys. It's off the beaten path, so make sure that you find this hidden gem best meal for sure

February 16, 2025 - 4 for lunch…read more We are long time members and this is my first time since all the renovations and work. First time to The Green Orchid. Perfect name! We had friends in from snowy cold NY / LI and this was one of the key stops with them during their stay. The place was pretty packed in season. No outdoor spots and we waited a few minutes for an indoor four top. Service was spectacular. The food was very good as we got a bunch of salads and light food entrees. There were a few cocktails as well for the wives. My salad was a lot of romaine but very spartan on edamame, onion, nuts or anything else. The green dressing was good. Clean as a hospital operating room!! Food was fresh and delightful. All the entrees we had were mid $25 range and with a beer at $8 and mixed drinks at $15 we zoomed up to about $42 per person or $174 for 4 people tax and gratuity. It was surely "tourist" and higher priced for a lunch. I picked up the tab for our guests and with the over 65 restaurants I have reviewed on Main Street and in Sarasota....... I am not sure this was so convenient and easy to be worth the cost/value for what you got? We might even walk the waterfront or head down Lemon or Pineapple and hit Main Street as an option next time? More friends in a few days and a few in March. The "boss" and social director will make the call.!!!

We loved the Millionaire Bacon which was on everything we ordered starting with the Deviled Eggs and then sharing the Cobb Salad and the Bacon and Blue Cheese Burger. We finished off our meal with a perfect Strawberry Shortcake. Highly recommend this restaurant whether you are visiting the Botanical Gardens or not. But it's definitely a must stop if you are going to be at the gardens anyways.
