Tried this little spot a couple weeks ago. Breakfast was good. They provided gluten free bread for husband with celiac. That always impresses us. read more

We recently visited the serving spoon for the first time last Friday. They have a great menu selection and the food was outstanding. However, the server we had not so good. We were greeted at the front door there was one booth available so the waitress brought us to it asked us for our drink order, pointed out the specials and said another server would be over shortly to take the order.. the restaurant started to fill up, the waitress returned with our drinks but we needed another minute. Finally about 5 to 8 minutes later another waitress came to our table to take our order little do we realize it was the same girl sitting right next to us in a booth talking to another customer. Our server took our order never came back to check on us and disappeared for a little bit, we had to ask the other server for a to-go box and refills on our drinks. We will definitely be back but we'll either get to go or hopefully a different server. read more

Nice local restaurant near Sarasota Memorial Hospital. Great homemade, made to order breakfast in a relaxed atmosphere.

Went to the serving spoon to have breakfast while waiting for our Mom in surgery at the hospital and we absolutely loved it! Super delicious and affordable!! We'll be going back whenever we visit Sarasota again. read more

Delicious food and very local feel to the environment. I'm putting it on my list to go everytime I'm in Sarasota, the Benedict eggs with hash streak is to die for read more

My wife and I went with a couple here after church. I had a Veggie and Spuds dish, one of my best breakfasts ever. Excellent service too!

We live close enough to walk over to The Serving Spoon for frequent breakfasts. Although their food is quite good, I can't say I ever want to use the bathroom. They're dirty & smelly. I'd like to think they would put some elbow grease into cleaning them up so it isn't so dirty. read more

Yummy, cute and deep in the artsy community. Gluten free options and fresh juice!

Went here a few months ago on my last visit to Sarasota. This was a nice little breakfast place, but nothing amazingly special. I had the eggs benedict, which were a special, and they were good but nothing amazingly special. read more

One of my favorite places for breakfast in the area. They have delicious juices, fresh baked toasted muffins and rolls and interesting specials- like the croissant with ham, egg, Brie, apples and raspberry preserves. The omelets and pancakes are always perfect and they are generous with their fruit. The only item that doesn't live up to expectations were the home potatoes, which were dry. read more

Food is average. Coffee is not. I almost wanted to bring in a Starbucks or Perq to "complete my breakfast." The place might have been retro nostalgic at one point. To me it needs a bit of a facelift if it will continue to attract a younger crowd. Very convenient location. I wish them success. read more

Good solid breakfast food and decent coffee. Just moved here and love a good breakfast place and this fits the bill. Lots of locals and the staff are super friendly. Good size portions and quality meats. read more

6 of us tried it for the first time for brunch. I had the cheese bluntness whick were sweet and delicious. Everyone had different choices and we all liked our meals. Service was ok but a side order of bacon came out very late. All in all we will certainly return as the menu selections are vast read more

When my family came here before on sleepy weekend mornings, the place was mostly empty. Today, we're here, and it's anything but sleepy. We love this place - and I am still getting the whole wheat pancake every time I come. My wife went nuts for the French toast too. $20 for a family of four for breakfast. Unbeatable! read more

Serving Spoon is a casual breakfast environment, not special, but very comfortable. The main thing for me is that it's not only reasonably priced, the food is consistent and good. I go there fairly regularly. My fav is the salmon scramble....I've had attempts elsewhere around the country and no one has met or beat the bar they set so far. A great option for local breakfast. read more

Great Food! Handcrafted corned beef hash is the real deal! My family and I will continue to come back!

Great breakfast this morning. I had a made to order omelette, with sausage, peppers, onions, and feta (the feta addition added great flavor. My side was tomatoes, with were fresh and delicious. It cost just over $10 before tip. I would recommend this place as a great start to a day! One star off for waiting at the front for some time before being seated. . .and there was no one else! read more

Great breakfast, tasty fresh fruit, good selection, good bread. Eggs, pancakes, specials, muffins. Something for everyone!

First time but not my last - by far! How I missed this little gem of a place- I just don't know. The restaurant is small and quaint and spotless. Our server, Christie, was helpful, personable and professional and JUST delightful! I had the Veggies and Spud and it was delicious! Everything was fresh and pretty and appealing! I would recommend The Serving Spoon to anyone. I look forward to trying the lunch menu. We met the very charming owner, Natasha. Nice job! :). Looking forward to see y'all again very soon :). read more

The best place in town for breakfast/lunch. Family owned, great food, great service. We have been going there every weekend for over 10 years. Love it! read more

Found this place on YELP and stopped in with two families of 4 while on vacation. Food was very good and more than enough at a great price. The food came out so fast and the service (from Yvette) was excellent ! A great find. read more

Great food and a family friendly breakfast spot. Staff is always nice and service is fast. Definitely recommend this for breakfast

My son and I tried the Serving Spoon today for the first time. We are fairly new to the Sarasota area and love to go to breakfast at local places. I had heard good things about this place and wanted to give it a try. When we arrived we were greeted immediately and shown to a booth. The very pleasant server got our drink order and returned very quickly with coffee and OJ. It was difficult to decide on what to have, everything sounded delicious. The server then told us about the specials one of which is a favorite of mine - Eggs Benedict. I asked for a moment to think and when she returned my son ordered the banana crunch pancake with side of turkey bacon and I told her I was still undecided because I really wanted the Benedict however at several local restaurants had ordered this dish only to have my eggs cooked incorrectly having to send my food back several times where as I end up sitting there without breakfast while my son eats his. She assured me this would not happen here and hurried off to put in our order. The food came out very quickly. The banana crunch pancake looked delicious, and tasted wonderful! The server waited anxiously to see if mine was cooked as ordered. I order my eggs cooked well, no runny yolks. I knew before even cutting into the egg that it was not cooked correctly. The server apologized and whisked off with my plate, leaving the hash browns for me to nibble while it was corrected. Minutes later she returned with my food, piping hot and cooked correctly! It was delicious! If not for the runny eggs, I would be giving them 5 stars as the service was great, atmosphere was very cute and even the bathroom was spotless and smelled clean. Can't wait to try something else on the meu next time we go! read more

We were out of towers for a wedding. Stopped in Saturday morning food was really good - service was friendly and quick. Bacon was crisp as requested and the grits were creamy. Will go back next time we are in town. read more

What a wonderful find! Enjoyed a delicious brunch today with outstanding service. Love that this restaurant is cozy and comforting. Traditional fare offered with many other options. Only request would be to add Chorizo to their Mexican offerings. We'll definitely go back! read more

Good food, reasonable prices. Although the lines are long during peak times, like Sunday morn, seating is pretty quick and service is really good. read more

What a wonderful breakfast place, loved the menu selection and the juice bar is amazing! Our service was outstanding! We had a young girl with brown hair who had the cutest spoon earrings and a great attitude. We come down a few times a year and will definitely go back! read more

I live in Virginia and this absolutely the first stop for breakfast every time. Best skillets you will find

Cute place. Food I admit was very good. My wife and I were pleased with our choices. The reason this place only gets two stars was the service. We went there this morning after work and Andrea W was our server. She was very cold and made us feel like you were bothering her just for coming in. She took our order with an attitude and when she brought the food she just them on the table and walked away. Didn't check on us for refills of water and coffee for a good while. It was just like she didn't want to be bother. Lastly she walked by and put the check on the table didn't ask if we wanted anything else just dropped it and kept walking. After running the card she did the same thing and I thanked her anyway to be nice and got no response. No "thanks for coming" "have a nice day" nothing but a cold shoulder. So like I said although the food was good the experience as a whole made me never want to return. read more
