Recently, my husband and I have realized a life-long dream of owning a second home in Florida. As a…read morenew "snowbird" for lack of a better term, we were not quite prepared for the realities of maintaining two homes and leaving the home behind and what the potential issues could arise by not being there full-time. Thankfully the realtor who helped us with the transaction was familiar with issues such as this and recommended Nancy's Concierge Services to look after our Florida home while we were away. For several months, we have been using Nancy's Concierge Services for "home watch". We continue to be impressed by her professionalism, trustworthiness, reliability, and responsiveness. Every incident, whether it was a big crisis such as replacing a hot water tank, to the mundane, she has responded quickly and efficiently. I value the weekly detailed reports and photos of my home. She coordinates with my other home vendors if she encounters a potential problem and takes charge in finding a solution. Communication with Nancy is prompt and thorough. She provides peace of mind, and I can trust that services are completed with the utmost integrity, professionalism and positively. Her other services offered go beyond the traditional home watch to include airport pickup, party planning and closet organization. She has an incredible can-do attitude and a willingness to exceed the expectation of her clients. She puts her clients first and with high integrity. I value that she has taken the time to join a professional organization, National Home Watch Association, that offers more credibility to her business and expertise. I also value that she is licensed and bonded, and I trust her company with my home. As I continue to learn how the Florida climate is different than my home state, I am fortunate to have a partner in Nancy's Concierge Services.

The strolling hor d' oeuvres were presented beautifully and perfectly prepared. The bartender kept up and was knowledgeable. Our dinner was a high point and beautifully executed. We had several options so I went with the grouper. The picture came out kind of flat because of the lighting but it was delicious. Our drinks were never empty and we had to ask for nothing.

The back of house crew was incredible. Quick, very talented, and worked to a top-tier professional standard. The serving staff that they brought was experienced and was a delight to work alongside.

I have worked tons of weddings, corporate events, and other types of BEOs/banquets and was very impressed with the care and concern that went into their work. 100% recommend!

Food was ok.....prime rib excellent, fish choice was dried out/overcooked as were the vegetable options. Chose this as we had a 91 year old guest with us traveling from north of Sarasota and did not want to overtire our guest and driver! The convenience of Valet parking and dinner was a prime factor. No need to go back when Sarasota has sooo many dining choices.

The first time ordering I ordered a Grilled Scottish Salmon filet, with Citrus Glaze Israeli Couscous and Chef's Vegetables. When I say the Couscous was some of the best I've had ina while I really mean it. Of course, I really had to come back the next week to get some delicious Grilled Shrimp and Scallop Skewers over Basmati Rice, which also came with vegetables. Excellent. Other dishes I would end up getting throughout the weeks included Vegetarian Meatloaf, Grilled Corvina, Vegetarian Lasagna, and many more to come. I always look forward to the next weeks menu! They also offer amazing catering services as well! Overall, I give this place 5 stars. Definitely, definitely worth stopping in and taking advantage of their convienant grab and go food service. Did I mention all of the food is FRESH, and the establishment promotes an eco-friendly pursuit in reducing food waste? What's not to love.
