September 27, 2025 - 2 for lunch takeout…read more Never been here and somebody volunteered to pick up and PAY!!!! Doing 10 hours of guard duty so was looking forward to the lunch. When I ordered seemed a "little" expensive ($9.75 to start and then $2.45 for Tofu +++ for quinoa and other healthy topping?) , but I must say as a unethical selfish vegan (not about the animal and its all about MY health) or more aptly a Nutritarian eater, there were plenty of components and ingredients for a healthy meal. I would have gone for black, or garbanzo beans or even peas??? for sure but no vegetable proteins on the chart?? Ordering is a bit of a pain. My co-worker who is a regular there says most folks order a signature wrap and he said some comments about my a la carte order? So for that I might suggest a Signature Whole Food Plant Based (WFPB) Wrap or Salad and the 5% of us who are vegan, vegetarian, WFPB, Nutritarian etc could just click a button? The sandwich was very good the way I ordered it, and it was prepared exactly and perfectly. Fresh ingredients and the wrap was nice. I will have to check this out in person at some point!!!

GET A PARKING SPOT in the gravel lot so my wife could hobble in with her bone on bone knee (getting 'fixed any day now) Service was awesome, hostess fantastic, our server was conversational and fantastic, and the beverages/drinks (the draw for my wife) were generous and tasty as usual. I am a little disappointed at the sides serving "cup" (black beans, yellow rice, and edamame) while the online menus does not post prices they are a little bit more expensive now this year and looking at my pictures from the past a little more diminutive? I do see I substituted and they made up a BEAN taco for me one time so maybe I will switch back to that creation.

Me and my wife, the 2 of us, ate our meal for $26. We had a great time here, on a busy Thursday morning. We had been asked for our orders about 7 minutes after getting seated. Everyone on their team was in A+ mode. We enjoyed the service, meals and the price. No automatic gratuity was forced on us and I think we all gave great tips to the team. I HIGHLY recommend this establishment.

My friend had chicken piccata which she loved. Another friend had the sausage peppers sub, again huge and very good. The pasta fagiole soup was the best I ever had and I order it a lot everywhere. I asked for a little bowl so my friend could try it and they gave her a small bowl of it. It was the best she has ever had also. Another friend had the minestrone, it was so good she took one home. My eggplant rollatini was very good, The only criticism would be thicker eggplant slices and more seasoning. If you love sweets.... Lookout because their showcase of sweets is amazing. Thank you for wonderful food and service because we had a great time and will be back! P.s. please work on the acoustics... it's so noisy that I couldn't hear conversations.

The staff in the ballroom were working hard, but there weren't enough of them. Drink refills were slow, and follow up after food arrived was almost non-existent. The ballroom is ok if you into relatively loud music - karaoke was that night, but it was cold there. The seating around the outside of the ballroom is also not ideal - the tables are situated too far from the wall benches, and it is not comfortable to eat that way. I'd sit in the restaurant next time. Hopefully with time, they'll get these things straightened out.

It's also located in the oldest building along US 41 between Venice and Tampa, built in 1923 and once home to the first bank and post office in Sarasota County. Definitely a fun bit of history you don't expect with your meal. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with shaded outdoor seating and a cozy, bright indoor dining room. While they offer plenty of gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options, I went for the classic corned beef Reuben on marble rye with a side of organic, gluten-free mac and cheese. Both were excellent, and the clear dietary labels on the menu were a nice touch. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you're looking for great food with healthy options.
