    Stopped by the new kitchen social yesterday evening after work. There was a long wait list which one would expect on a Friday early evening, so I cannot doc them a star for that. The waiter that served us was there whenever we needed him and made good suggestions, the bartender and the rest of the staff were just as helpful. The ambiance was modern decor, open and bright We ordered the signature cheddar biscuits, pimento burger & fries, Thai chicken bowl, crispy chicken sandwich with Mac & cheese, and the short rib tacos. The biscuits were delicious (buttery slightly sweet with a light crisp on the bottom), my chicken sandwich was really good nice crunch not to spicy (order a side of hot sauce if you want it spicy) and the Mac was a large portion with a decent amount of creamy cheese flavor, but I might stick to the fries next time which are thin and crispy, my guests said the chicken bowl was satisfying (Fyi slight curry taste to the dish), my other guest enjoyed the burger and had no complaints, short rib tacos were decent (they give you 2 but you might want to add that third one if you're hungry). Overall the food we ordered was a success. I would have to try again in the near future to see about consistency, which is a big thing to me. Food 8.5 Service 9.0 Ambience 8.5

    Stopped here for lunch with a coworker on a Thursday afternoon. We sat outside at the bar and the service was great. Both bartenders were very friendly and attentive. The location is great, right off I-75 in Sarasota and close to all the shops. There's plenty of parking which made it super easy. I loved the Tuna Bowl, but wasn't super impressed with the cheddar biscuits. I'll try something different to start next time.

    Savory Biscuits
    Nestor Z.

    I had an excellent experience at Kitchen Social in UTC Sarasota. From the moment we walked in, the customer service stood out. Everyone from the host to our waitstaff was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely friendly. The food was just as impressive. The biscuits were savory and paired perfectly with their delicious butter. I started with a cup of lobster bisque that had a nice, comforting heat to it. For mains, everything at the table was a hit. My wife loved the shrimp and grits, and I thoroughly enjoyed the crab-crusted fish, which was perfectly flaky. The corn with pineapple added a unique and flavorful twist that really complemented the dish. To wrap it all up, the butter cake was outstanding, rich, warm, and the perfect ending to a great meal. Overall, superb service and fresh, flavorful food. Definitely recommend for brunch or dinner. This is a must try spot in UTC!

    Chicken and waffles with a glass of sangria

    Kitchen social is a must try! The service was friendly and efficient. The food was fresh and flavorful almost like farm to table. I also had a glass of red sangria that was 10 out of 10. I love the open indoor/outdoor concept. Not too hot not too cold just right for a beautiful day.

    The vibes, service, and food was 10/10. They have mist all over the patio so it never really gets too hot. The service is great and everyone is attentive so you get a good experience. The flavors in the different bowls are tasty and they can adjust it you're vegetarian.

    Corn nachos- yum
    Cat M.

    Wow - what a great place! The atmosphere is beautiful - open, airy, & inviting! The menu prices are very reasonable for the area. We sat at the bar to take advantage of the HH. Wine & beer were $3 off & all the apps & pizza's are half off! We shared the caesar salad - this is not your ordinary salad, it was amped up with a tasty parm crumb on top, tasty dressing, & fresno's! So good! We were then given a complimentary corn nacho app which was real good! I enjoyed a well-done mushroom pizza & my husband had the fried chicken sandwich with skinny crispy fries. Service was beyond amazing. Everyone working there was helpful & pleasant. We especially enjoyed talking with Glenn.

    Short rib tacos
    Savannah H.

    Kitchen Social.. what another great addition to the UTC area! We visited for lunch on a Saturday.. I would recommend a reservation as it started to get busy around 1pm. The menu offers a great selection and everything our table ordered was fresh and full of flavor. Service was quick and very friendly. Can't wait to come back for dinner!

    Smash burger
    Carl J.

    Wow, another great addition to UTC. We stopped in for a quick lunch Saturday and the food, service and atmosphere were all top notch. With all the Saturday mall traffic and construction we were running a little late; no problem for the kind host team. Very friendly and professional staff. Drinks were very good and the shrimp and grits were very good. I loved my smash burger, the brunch hash was just OK.

    Shrimp and grits
    Katherine Lawlor R.

    Food ordered biscuits with butter delicious, Thai shrimp and shrimp and grits both delicious. Shrimp and grits had some heat. Chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream had pretzels crunch nice touch. Ordered sangria white sweeter than red one. Burbon smash very good. Served by Alise (? Spelling) excellent waiter. Very attentive to servicie and informative about menu. Ambiance: sat at high top table with very comfortable chairs. Relaxing setting.

    Burger and fries
    Lori D.

    This was our second time in 6 days visiting here to eat! We have loved this place! The service, the vibes, the food-all amazing! We love the cheddar scallion biscuits. Tonight we tried the street corn nachos and they were really good! I had a burger and fries and it was really good! We've tried the chicken sausage pizza which I would say is one of my new favorites! My favorite dessert there has to be the brown sugar cake-sooo good! Tonight we sat on the patio and it was a great place to sit and talk-the weather was perfect! A great dining experience!

    My wife and I wanted a quick bite while shopping at UTC Mall. When we came in we noticed that…read more"Seasons 52" had a happy hour from 3pm to 6pm. So we decided to dine here. We both ordered the $14 flatbread and sip each. That comes with a flatbread with protein of your choice and an adult beverage ( wine, cocktail or mocktail ). I had the Philly cheesesteak with a cucumber basil smash mocktail and my wife had the pesto chicken & fresh mozzarella also with a cucumber basil smash mocktail. The food arrived a few minutes after we ordered and it was piping hot. Our drinks arrived a few moments prior and the were delicious. Our food was very tasty and fresh. The service was great and we were in & out in about 45 minutes.

First, our cocktails were a generous pour and perfectly made. I loved that my dirty martini was shaken and poured table side...plus the shaker with dirty ice and a little extra left for me as well...perfect touch! They definitely "had me at first pour!" Branden our server was awesome...attentive, friendly and very efficent. He was right on. Soups and my salad were delicious. Soups were nice and hot. All of our entrees were over the top delicious. I totally enjoyed the shrimp and grits...we don't get grits up north. Hubby thought his pork chop was Incredible and perfectly cooked. The Seabass also a winner and the crabcake was enjoyable for our fourth person. Usually just one meal is a standout but honestly all meals were standouts...but if I had to pick one it would be the pork chop. The restaurant is very comfortable, modern and a huge bar with comfy booths and lots of tables. Outside dining as well. Parking is tricky if the mall and Restaurants are crowded. I did see valet parking for $10 Saturday night. I would give lots more stars if I could bc this place hit the ball out of the park for us.

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!

    Apparently this place has been here for about a year or so. So, decided to try it! First thing i…read morenoticed was the bar and the upscale decor. There were at least three hostesses/waiters/tresses greeting us at the door. It's more of an adult environment. Very nice! We ordered an app, the cornbread, their claim to fame. And it certainly was fantastic!!! I had the cowboy salad. It was all chopped up just how I like my salads. Perfect amount of ingredients, they didn't skimp! The only issue, and I could have asked for more, was they should bring a small side of dressing when they bring the salads out. Regardless the salad was yummy! The prices were steep but not any more than you would expect to pay in an upscale restaurant, $23. And, what I appreciated was they DO NOT INCLUDE AN AUTO GRATUITY! YAY!!! Overall the experience was outstanding; environment was beautiful, service was good, food was delicious. We will be back, many times I'm sure!

He had great suggestions and provided us excellent service. We tried the cornbread, which is a must have. Large enough for two, maybe three. I had the Danish ribs which were delicious and fell off the bone. Others ordered the prime rib sandwich, Trout, and Salmon. I had the cole slaw and mash potatoes as my sides. All of the food was delicious. They have a full bar and they also allow you to bring your own wine. No corkage fees. Great idea. I would say there were quite a few tables ordering drinks and drinking their own wine. The deserts are sinfully delicious, and huge. After a rich dinner, we shared two of them. The banana cream pie and key lime pie were equally good.

It was beautiful outside and luckily were offered an outdoor table (which was perfect as in inside seating area was very cold). We were sat (2ppl) and were about the 5th or 6th table outside. There was a table sitting next to us that had clearly finished their food and we're waiting to pay their check after about 15 minutes. The mother took the two other children and left the father there to pay the bill. About 10 minutes later, he ended up getting up and going inside to find a server. His new sword ever came outside. We sat at our table for probably 30 minutes and watched the host. Continue to see people outside filling it up. After about 35 minutes of nobody ever even approaching our table, we got up and left. I don't understand if you are short staffed why you would open an extra receiving area if you cannot service it? I have been there in the past and it has not ever been this bad. But after almost 45 minutes, I'm not even being acknowledged, we had to leave and find lunch somewhere else. To me, this was 100% on greedy management. You are not gonna increase your sales by filling up the restaurant and then not having enough service staff on duty to take care of it. I noticed another table also get up and walk towards their car after they saw us get up and leave. Not a manager in sight, not a server insight, just the continuing seating by a young man who was only doing what he was told to do, obviously without direction.
