Eh this was a miss for me…read more When arriving the man working pretty much the entire restaurant asked if we had reservations. We stated no so he stated we had to sit outside. However a few moments later there was another couple sitting outside and he offered them to sit inside but they declined, with that I thought he'd asked us but he walked passed us. There was a lot of files and bugs flying by the wine in the window I thought it was gross. The bread that was brought out to the table was extremely cold and somewhat hard, the service was lacking as well. It was a weekday so it wasn't too busy. On to the food, I got the Cacio e Pepe. My noodles was good but the sauce wasn't as flavorful, pretty watered down. I ate this super quick because I was burning sitting outside and was ready to go. I wouldn't return

Ordered the hot sandwich (base heat), chicken tenders and wings (mild heat)…read more Everything is freshly made. The sandwich was good, but I should have ordered the after burner because the base wasn't spicy at all. Tenders and wings are cooked well. I wasn't a fan of the sauce. I can't describe why, but it just didn't wow me (but it didn't gross me out either). Service was friendly. Seating at a table is tough.

This one bummed me out. I'm a huge fan of hot chicken, so I was really looking forward to trying…read morethis restaurant and the pics looked delicious. Unfortunately, I either tried it on a really off day or my taste buds just weren't in it. I tried the hot chicken tenders, but they were like chewing through pieces of steak that had been cooked too long. Very tough and dry. The sauce surprised me, but not in a bad way. It has a really sweet base coat and then hot top coat. At first I wasn't sure if I liked it or not, but I think I did. Haha. My husband had a sandwich and thought it was good; he didn't share a bite though. I really enjoyed their french fries, Which is slightly unusual for me to comment on. There was a powder dusting on something sprinkled on them, and it was really evenly dispersed and tasty. Maybe I'll try this place again and see if the main entree disappointment was a fluke. If so, I'll update then....

The Caesar salad was great, and the crushed croutons were a lovely add. It doesn't sound like anything crazy, but it distributed nicely over the salad compared to pieces of croutons. The dressing was also very creamy and seemed homemade. The burger and fries were similarly amazing. The sesame burger bun was truly a SESAME bun (which you can see in the photo). The burger was cooked perfectly and everything was fresh. The fries were absolutely homemade were a great mix of crunchy and soft.

May 1, 2026 - two for dinner before a show at Florida Studio Theater…read more My first visit. An easy walk from the FST parking and the FST theater. Drinks very reasonable and decent volume/quantity/pour. A buck for my soda water with lemon..... a bargain for the driver and non-drinker! The boss got 10 wings, 1/2 parm cheese and 1/2 barbecue. The reputation is best wings in Sarasota??? She like flats only and we paid $1 for just flats. This was a very nice option as I the whole food plant based "spartan vegan" will usually cringe at leaving those drums behind or wasted??? I did try one of each though. I believe they are baked and then before serving deep fried to crisp them up and heat them. Sadly the barbecued ones where burnt (see picture) and a little too crisped. The meat and most of the wing and the flavor was pretty good. 5/10 The parm wings where actually the opposite and the meat and wing undercooked, but the deep fry dunking crisped up the skin which would have been really raw and rubbery. These were also seasoned nicely and tasty. 8/10 Both easily fantastic with attention to pre-cooking and cooking? I got the Cup o' Spuds (sweet potato) in a little basket. These were pretty deeply fried and a few blackened/burnt but were nice and hot and flavorful and couple burned gave it some character and was a big deal. The menu is very limited for whole food plant based, vegetarian, vegan, nutritarian mix and match or anything....... so went with one of the three salads. the Side Salad I got an entree size. Romaine, diced tomatoes, cucumbers and black olives and a balsamic. My server missed my point after the second ask about adding "protein". I would have LOVED to have seen some black, pinto, kidney, navy, garbanzo, or any kind of BEANS to add to this salad as a "PROTEIN" or a quinoa, or even scoop of rice or edamame or even a few chunks of toasted or grilled tofu!!!! The salad ingredients were fresh and a nice amount of each. Dressing good but I only used a little since I thought I had asked for Balsamic Vinegar (no oil) and this was a Balsamic "Dressing" with actually quite a bit of oil. Service by "Nightime Bar B" was very attentive and friendly. REALLY good! Fielded our myriad of questions and we were never wanting or waiting. We had a long discussion about the wings which is why my wife wanted to go here. Maybe I should have put this first.......but the pricing was EXTREMELY reasonable especially for Main Street and I guess technically IN Season? The drinks about $12 for a Cosmo, Tito and club $10 ? Tax, tags, tip at 20% plus and we got out under $70 for two!!! VERY nice! Good spot. We will be back!!! As we have just about completed the Mainstreet and City of Sarasota circuit these guys are in the "rotation" for a before cabaret or full production play at the FST.

OUCH The other PAM was modified and I rated this one the same. Another OUCH I wanted so much to love this place but when you're eating your meal and thinking my OJ at home is sooo much better than this one. I wonder how long this bacon has been sitting around because it's dry and tough? THAT's NOT GOOD. Food should taste fresh as though it was just made, FOR ME. This food was not. It lacked flavor was not very warm and again did not express freshness. Bagel was also just okay. No where near a New York Bagel. Overall for a restaurant to be memorable each individual item has to be the best. This results in a total amazing meal. This meal unfortunately was not amazing just Okay. What was good? Glad you asked. Coffee was warm & tasted good. Extra points for providing real cream on the side. Love that! It's a great touch! The cream cheese was excellent. Service was also good. I think this place has great potential but definitely needs a new chef with more upscale, fresh ideas.
