    What a delicious sandwich we had here my wife and I split one as it was our first time here and I gotta say she went back the following day to have another one. That's how good they were. They also had a vinaigrette or some kind of sauce that came with the sandwich. It was almost like dipping sauce, and it was phenomenal. Highly recommended The staff at this place was super friendly, and A almost felt as though you were at home the place was super cool. Had a lot of pictures a lot of memories from the owner's family. That was really cool to see as well. Definitely going back here very soon.

    Croque monsieur

    I think if you are purely getting bakery items such as pastries and bread - or any one of the beautiful desserts you can't go wrong - their batards are one of my personal faves. I ate in for the first time for breakfast and had the croque monsieur (full disclosure: I am a slight croque monsieur snob) but was a little disappointed. Béchamel sauce was on the bland side and while there had been some spread inside the bread (croissant loaf I believe - also didn't love that choice) there was no actual cheese inside, only ham. My dad had the salmon Monsieur and his was actually delicious and it was like eating a completely different Béchamel. Will return as the staff are friendly and efficient and pastries are yummy.

    Chicken sandwich 10/10

    Stopped by for lunch on my recent trip to Sarasota. I had the best chicken sandwich. It had sun dried tomatoes & amazing mayo. My boyfriend loves this location, and it is not a wonder. Definitely worth the trip.

    Scrambled eggs & croissant

    Just today I got croissant with scrambled eggs to go, but it did not go further than their parking lot. With respect to all French bakeries around- this is the best! Crowded, but service is quick. Love their Amandine as well..

    My first time here with my husband. The customer service was a pleasure from Maria. The food was wonderful. From the main dish to the dessert. We sat outside. We like the touch they added with the mini Eiffel Tower model. Nice touch to supplement the beautiful Florida weather outside. The only con of sitting outdoors is the uninvited greedy guests known as flies that relentlessly tried to plant their filthy legs on our food. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our visit. We learned the owners are from France. So if you're looking for true expertise in French cuisine, look no further.

    Pastry case

    Let's all meet up here... rendezvous!! Nice unique French pastry shop in large plaza. They had a decent sized lunch menu on top of the pasties & desserts. Staff is all French here. Little bossy when our large party entered as the host said we were in her way. Feel like we're actually in Europe. Then as some left to go else where she exclaimed "where are you going!" Lol. The gentleman taking order was extra polite. Got a couple pastries & the French hotdog (beef inside a puff pastry)! Delicate n fluffy!! The description said beef sausage, but it was definitely just a hotdog. Side of fresh fruit or salad included. The fruit medley was perfect. Apricot danish was crispy outside & gooey & sweet inside. All the pastries looked amazing.

    Fresh yummy's

    Loved coming here but not sure if there's a new baker or what? Last few visits the chocolate croissant I order has been chewy and you're lucky if you get more than 2 bites chocolate. The hot coco is not French where it's that rich flavor thickness just plain ole milk and syrup Starbucks is better.

    Double Expresso
    Todd G.

    Overall a pretty good French pastry shop Started with almond croissant, very good! Double Expresso served kinda cold and that was disappointing. Got a chicken sandwich on a croissant as well. It was tasty, but not enough to ever order again. Just didn't wow me unfortunately

    My son has a peanut and tree nut allergy. He can handle facilities that have nuts but same equipment doesn't work. Would this be a safe place for us to come?

    This locally owned seafood restaurant has a lot of options and a unique menu for the area. It's…read morewelcoming, yet nice and unpretentious. The outdoor portion was recently remodeled and looks awesome! There is plenty of parking surrounding the restaurant and adjacent, as it is nestled into the front end of a shopping area. We had a most enjoyable meal and experience at Madfish Grill. Service and food quality were top notch, not to mention we had a specialty from New England you cannot find most places, fried clam strips. I am picky with fried food and do not get it often and the clam strips we dined on as an appetizer had a light batter and were a real treat. It was a Tuesday and we opted for something off their Taco Tuesday special menu--fresh-made chips and guacamole to start were excellent. I really enjoyed my bowl I got as a meal, the ingredients were fresh and the combination of flavors were on point. My dining partner ordered a fish sandwich that was generously portioned and made out of a fish you traditionally only find in New England. Our server, her name sadly escapes me, was really excellent and on top of our orders, refilling water and drinks, and our requests. She has been there for fifteen years she relayed to us when I asked, which is a testament to what type of place this is. If you're looking for solid seafood in a nice atmosphere check out Madfish Grill. They have lots of specials and features to check out that can give you new options for every visit. I will return for sure to try more of the menu!

    The selling point for Madfish Grill is definitely the atmosphere. It is a nice place for people to…read moreget together and enjoy seafood. The service is great. They have a good variety of drinks as well. Calling for a reservation is a good idea because Madfish is popular with locals and snowbirds. The food at Madfish Grill is nice. They use fresh ingredients and they bring complimentary bread that is tasty. My favorite dish to order here is the honey-glazed salmon. However, I don't feel like the food justifies the price. Madfish is more expensive than most restaurants in Sarasota, but the food is not necessarily of a higher quality than what you may buy at a cheaper seafood restaurant in town.
