    Glow Bowl and Iced Tea
    Katie S.

    The food was delicious and great quality! I got the glow bowl with salmon. The food was healthy but still had good flavor and was more filling than expected. The service was quick and the staff were very friendly. Highly recommend!

    Kung Pow Cauliflower
    Robert C.

    Delivery via DoorDash. Food was very tasty, but not sure about how healthy. After chowing down on the steak wrap I looked up the nutritional content and found it to be almost 900 calories... :( The cauliflower was tasty and healthy!

    Me waiting for food

    Lady up front was the absolute best, i haven't had the chance to taste the food yet considering i have been waiting at this table for about 30 minutes. She brought us some cookies, but wow the wait is insane!! Ive been told it's not normally like this, but it's the only time I've ever been, and after this experience it will probably be the last. Other than that.. i loved the iced lemon water at the front, place looks really sweet!

    What a wonderful new restaurant in Lakewood Ranch. They have been open since Tuesday, May 13th so this is their first weekend open! Welcome the First Florida Location of Flower Child and I look forward to seeing more. They have locations in AZ, CA, CO, FA, IN, TX just to name a few. There is more! This is fast casual and you either order online or order with them and they bring your food to you. Dining is inside and outside. Decor is stand out in detail and eye catching on every angle. I ordered the forbidden rice while my husband had the chicken yakisoba. I loved my dish and chose to add shrimp. I was able to get a ten dollar coupon off with ordering online to so that was a nice bonus. They are dog friendly outside with their beautiful outside patio also. Definitely will be back!

    Steakhouse Wedge with over cooked steak
    Derinda C.

    So this is my first time at flower Child and overall it was a pretty good experience. The steakhouse salad was really good. I just received super well-done steak when they said that they serve it at the temperature of medium so I really didn't care for that. The queso was extremely good. And their lemon olive oil cake was very delicious. I will return as the workers were sweet and food was healthy. Beautiful building and restaurant amongst all the gray buildings surrounding it.

    You know .... I was totally fascinated by the cult following so to speak for Flower Child across the United States...and I had one of their signature salads..... but after I ate it.. .I thought.... what's so great about this salad? Its just a salad. Not an amazing off the charts incredible salad. So yes... I bought in to the hype for this place because its located in all the "posh" cities and towns in the US...however, that romance is off... and for the price of its dishes... and the average flavor of the food.. I will not be swooning because of its marketing and its decor anymore

    Glow bowl with tail of salmon.

    You know that feeling when you specifically state your preference and they put give you the opposite, exactly what you do not want? Well that's what happens at Flower Child. I ordered carry out on the app and asked for a center cut piece of salmon with the glow bowl, not the thin tail part. And guess what I got.... The thin tail. What is wrong with these people? Last time I was there people stood behind the counter like their job was to hang out and talk to each other. That time I waited indoor from my food and the guy walked over and put it on the counter for walk in pick up, and never called my name. Pretty sad employees imo.

    Tuna bowl
    Michael J.

    The inside is beautiful and all the servers were very nice. All the food we tried used an unusual combination of seasonings and ingredients, which is awesome, but I didn't really love any of it. We tried the tuna bowl, enchiladas, bang bang cauliflower, chili glazed sweet potato and sesame noodles. The enchiladas were the best thing but the whole bowl is one texture (soft). It would have benefitted from some crispy chip bits sprinkled on top. It's possible we just didn't order the right things so if friends asked us to go there we'd try it again.

    Steak entree with side of Mac, sweet potato fries, and chicken

    Amazing food and amazing atmosphere!! The quality of the food is unmatched. Also the Britney and Josh were very kind and helpful. Recommend visiting:)

    Chicken enchilada bowl
    Lori D.

    the newly opened Flower Child in LWR. I tried the chicken enchilada bowl with a side of kung pow cauliflower while Michelle had the falafel wrap and the cauliflower risotto! You order at the front and then they prepare it fresh and bring it to your table. Everything was presented beautifully. Each entree was flavorful and we really enjoyed them. I loved the decor-from the mural wall to the artwork to the bathroom wallpaper! For me-it's all in the details and I loved them!!It was a fun night of catching up and sharing our meals! There are definitely more menu items I want to go back and try out!

The wait time was about 45 minutes, which wasn't bad at all. The crab cakes were delicious, but the sauce was a miss for me. It was way too spicy. With crab cakes, I think it's best to keep it simple with a tartar-style sauce, of course vegan. I ended up eating them without the sauce and enjoyed them much more that way. The tofu Reuben was good overall, but the bread was a little soggy. A thicker or sturdier bread might hold up better. Even so, the flavors were good and I enjoyed it. Last but definitely not least was the raw blueberry cheesecake. It was absolutely delicious! However, the sauce served with it wasn't for me at all. Thankfully, I tasted it separately before pouring it on the cheesecake because I would have been disappointed. The sauce wasn't sweet and took away from the dessert rather than adding to it. Overall, I had a good experience and enjoyed most of what I ordered. I'll definitely be back, and next time I'd like to dine in and enjoy the meals.

Lisette took great care of us, and the whole meal had that confident, spice-forward rhythm that makes this place easy to recommend. The Sweet Corn hummus was the sleeper hit, creamy and bright with just enough chili and lime to wake everything up. The Spice Boys Burger is absolutely worth ordering, especially if you want something familiar that still has personality. The Falafel Bowl with harissa was fresh, colorful, and loaded with texture, and the pita on the side made it even better. I also loved the dragon fruit hibiscus iced tea, which was refreshing without being boring. Bonus points for being kid-friendly without watering down the menu. The kids had the kids' nuggets, a kids' cheeseburger, and finished with the pretzel cookie, so the table covered a little bit of everything. For the quality, portions, atmosphere, and service, it felt like a meal worth coming back for. This is the kind of Sarasota spot that makes you start planning the next order before you've even left.

We were greeted immediately upon arriving and sat right away. Our server, Justin, arrived at our table immediately. He was very friendly, professional and sincere. And with OUT being annoying, was vigilant in getting our drink orders and then our food decisions. We chose the chicken fingers & fries app, 2 burgers and a Cobb salad. Justin then asked if we wanted all the food together or he'll wait 3 minutes after our chicken finger app. We chose for him to order our entrees after the app was delivered. LITERALLY, LITERALLY 30 seconds after he walked away from our table, our chicken finger appetizer was delivered. WAYYYYYY to quickly we all thought, and we were right. Both the chicken fingers and fries were BARELY warm! They basically just sent us out an order that was very obviously sitting under the warmer TOO LONG! Shame on them for 'selling' dead food. Justin came by and apologized and took the plate. After a few minutes, the plate came out again, NOT hot but warmer/hotter than the first one. Our entrees were delivered about 5 minutes later. The burgers were cooked perfectly to what we asked for and the salad was cold. Now the sides we ordered with our burgers: Sweet potato fries, NOT hot and crunchy and served with pieces of their fried Brussel sprouts on the bottom. The other burger had Onion Ring as a side. WARM, NOT HOT, soft not crunchy, and just overall nasty. We were hungry and I did not complain when Justin checked back with us. Overall, the problem was anything fried. So whoever worked the 'inside' and 'outside' kitchen windows obviously were just grabbing anything that they needed to 'sell'. Bathrooms were clean but this was the first time that I had bad food. I personally feel that this was a completely avoidable situation...and I blame kitchen staff for not taking the time to serve their normally very good food. There are soooooo many other restaurants now in the area, they can't afford to take short cuts with their food!

A quick Google search did not disappoint. I happened to be right across from a beautiful shopping center and spotted this stunning Greek restaurant. Mediterranean cuisine is my absolute favorite, so I was immediately excited. The only catch? I was cutting it close. They close at 9:00 PM on Thursdays, and I was just seven minutes away with about 30 minutes to spare. I decided to take my chances -- and I'm so glad I did. I sat at the bar and was warmly greeted by a very kind and welcoming bartender. I ordered two glasses of Pinot Grigio and an incredible platter with hummus, chicken skewers, olives, and sliced meats. The platter looked intimidating in the photo, but it's absolutely manageable for one person -- just be warned, the pita bread will fill you up quickly! Even though I felt a little guilty arriving close to closing and staying a bit past 9 to finish, the staff never made me feel rushed. If I hadn't felt bad about the timing, I absolutely would have ordered dessert -- and probably an espresso martini to top it off. Now I know for next time I'm back on the West Coast. The restaurant itself is beautifully designed with a classy, upscale feel -- even though I showed up looking like I had just survived a road trip (because I had). There's only so much glamour you can maintain after three hours in the car. I highly recommend coming here for dinner and then walking around the shopping area afterward. It's exactly my kind of shopping destination -- you truly have everything you could think of in one place. I just wish we had something like this closer to home.

There isn't anything I've tried here that has disappointed. Note that their hours of operation do change every so often so check on Google before visiting. I think my favorite of all the options is the Portobello mushroom melt. It does have a considerable amount of moisture from the tofu, portobello mushroom and spinach combination. I've learned it's best to have it at the restaurant and lifting the bread ever so slightly once your unwrap the sandwich so that it releases the extra heat before you enjoy it. It'll save you from a burn! I like asking for tempeh "bacon" or soy curls as add-ons depending on which item I'm ordering. Tempeh "bacon" works great on sandwiches and soy curls in the wraps. I also like their fried mushroom sandwich which is supposed to mimic a Chick-fil-A sandwich because it's satisfying but not heavy. Their brown sugar Oatmylk iced coffee was nice because it didn't taste sugary and I liked their iced tea option that was the very berry forward one. They have good sweets also like their banana chocolate chip muffin. I'm looking forward to trying their vegan tiramisu.
