- TTonyTampa / Central Florida West •12 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoOur go-to place for special occasions (last night Valentines) so we’re very fond of this quaint restaurant in downtown Sarasota except last night it was so busy that some items seemed to have slipped through the cracks. The food is always great however last night wasn’t as great. The service was excellent for us but we noticed other tables were not as fortunate. The prices seemed to have been adjusted for the Valentine’s menu (adjusted meaning RAISED), for we each had a meal, (Grouper / Pork Oso-busco) nothing fancy) a glass of wine and shared a dessert with one complimentary basket of bread (NOT even a house salad) and the bill was $175! A bit pricey if you’d ask me.More infoThe Rosemary & ThymePrice: Expensive• American• Sarasota•4.8
- KKathiTampa / Central Florida West •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe enjoyed a lovely dinner at Dry Dock for Valentine’s Day. The restaurant was busy but the team had everything under control. We were greeted immediately and taken care of promptly at the bar for cocktails as we waited a very short time for our table. Our server was informative and efficient and went above and beyond to make us feel at home and understand the menu. Our food was amazing The snapper served right off the grill and the side veggies perfectly cooked. The jambalaya was piping hot and delicious. No room for dessert this time but the key lime pie was so tempting! 5 ⭐️More infoDry Dock Waterfront GrillPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Longboat Key•4.8
- TTrentTampa / Central Florida West •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoWaitress was phenomenal! Sadly forget her name. We had reservations right at sunset, they were completely packed and still got us in right on time. Drinks were ok but to be fair we each tried “out of the box” options for ourselves so we when we return we’ll be giving those another shot. The grouper sandwich was right hand to god one of the best fish sandwiches I’ve had in my life. I’ve written 2 reviews my whole life but that sandwich alone made me want to express my gratitude and appreciate for the beautiful staff and crew at this location. Will be returning !More infoBeach House Waterfront RestaurantPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Bradenton•4.5

We sat under the trees by the bay and the portable heaters kept us warm on a cool night. The Spinach and Artichoke Empanadas were a great appetizer and the entrees were excellent too.More infoMar Vista Dockside Restaurant & PubPrice: Expensive• American• Bradenton Beach•4.6
