I ordered the roast beef manhattan for myself and the pot roast melt for my friend. When I tell you the meat is DELICIOUS, I mean it's tender, flavorful and melts in your mouth. The mashed potatoes for the manhattan are super fresh and yummy as well. I also ordered a side of the baked apples. I will say, I do agree that the apples are a bit sweeter than I would have personally liked, but I know a lot of people enjoy them super sweet. My only other small sad note was that I had asked for utensils and bread when I placed my order and I made the mistake of not checking for them before leaving. After I picked up my food I stopped in the gift shop and picked up a few jars of jam and apple butter which I am also very excited to use. The gift shop had a very cozy feel to it and was full of goodies!

That time, we opted to just get a slice of pie to go that I remember being SO good, I KNEW we had to come back eventually for the restaurant. Here we are years later and we were able to get in with no wait. Service was a little slow but she was so funny and cute we didn't really care. We started with one of the giant cinnamon rolls and let me tell you, I've been thinking about it ever since. So warm and delicious and covered in icing!! Good thing I'm not on a diet lol. My husband got some hash bowl with gravy and scrambled eggs and he ate the whole thing. Loved it. It came with a biscuit which was big and warm. I got an omelet with spinach, mushrooms and cheese and it was as big as the plate and so satisfying. We were soooo full at the end, we couldn't even think about dessert. Next time though for sure!!

**Der Dutchman -- Sarasota, FL**…read more The bakery counter alone is worth the stop. Case after case of donuts done right -- peach cake donuts, glazed honey buns, long johns in vanilla, chocolate, and caramel, plus apple and peach fritters that look like they were dropped in the fryer an hour ago. The muffin case is just as deep: lemon poppyseed, blueberry, raisin bran, streusel-topped, all in tall paper wraps. Past the bakery it turns into a proper Amish country market. Shelves of fresh wheat bread and dinner rolls, jars of their own apple butter, bulk candy by the pound in wicker baskets -- Mary Janes, butterscotch disks, Tootsie Rolls, jaw breakers -- and a Florida salt water taffy section for the tourists. The coffee wall has bulk bins and bagged roasts from Fresh Cup of Hope and local Sarasota Coffee & Tea. Clean, well-stocked, and generously staffed. Come hungry and bring a bag.

A disappointing experience. Walked in around 7pm and the restaurant was completely empty. That…read moreshould have been our first indication. Our table ordered a couple of dishes: chicken and waffles, southern fried chicken, shrimp fried rice, and the hitman. The water tasted like it came straight from the water fountain outside the restaurant. Chicken was overly breaded and salty, and the corn cake was sour. I also don't know how they managed to dry out dark meat. The waffle was semi burnt. The shrimp "fried rice" was soggy, vinegary, almost sushi rice like texture, and shrimp was heavily salted. The hitman smashed burger... the hitman probably killed people with the insane amount of salt on the plate. See the theme? Lighten up on the salt unless you're trying to give your customers clogged arteries. Extremely disappointing considering all the great reviews we saw before going.

I foresee myself craving this in the future and being sad I live in Orlando and can't even Door Dash. I really enjoyed the Crab Cake Eggs Benedict too - though some of my crab had a little fishy taste, but most of it was perfect. The Meyer-lemon hollandaise was creamy, light and just enough citrus flavor. Love it being served on soft foccacia bread with perfectly poached eggs. Service was fantastic! Our server "Erica" was amazing. She made great recommendations and even made a fresh pot of coffee for me, Including an iced version of it to go along with my husband's iced tea.

There was some cheesecake flavor component to it. Griddle flight- strawberry Nutella, Boston crème, butternut pecan 7/10: Strawberry Nutella is a classic that you can't go wrong with. Boston crème was okay. The vanilla custard on top was delicious. Butter pecan was easily my favorite! Great texture with the nuts.
