Best Global Restaurants in Sarasota

While the Edison has always been a favorite it had been a while since we had been in. There are so many new items on the menu and a refresh on the interior! Everything was beyond delicious and we couldn’t get enough. As always amazing service rounded out an excellent experience. We will be back soon!!

This was our first time here. Menu selections are great and varied. Had the Korean BBQ meatloaf and it was so good; sweet and spicy and very, very filling. Would definitely have it again. The salmon was also excellent as was the short rib fettucini. We all cleaned out plates . Banana pudding dessert was a winner as well. We particularly liked the pace of the meal; having time to have cocktails without any rush to order. Service was excellent. The only drawback is the noise level. It gets very loud and can interfere a little with conversation. But we will go back.

Sage is probably the most beautiful restaurant in Sarasota or its environs, and the professionalism of the staff is the highest level we have seen in the area. Unlike most joints which stop serving by 9:00 PM, Sage serves dinner until 10:00 PM on weekdays and 11:00 PM on Friday and Saturday, with last reservation at 9:30. We walked there in 4 minutes from seeing the Ballet at the Sarasota Opera House, and I called ahead to say the performance was delayed (it was an actual world premiere). Bless them, they kept the kitchen open just for us, the last diners, and we had the best after-theatre experience since we've lived in Florida, like the old days when we lived on the Upper West Side and went to Lincoln Center.

Wow, never had snails before and they were delicious, I had the roasted duckling. One of the best meals ever. Cooked perfectly and flavors were outstanding. Mashed potatoes were excellent. Going back tomorrow night for dessert and a drink in The Loft! Highly recommend.

We absolutely loved our experience here! The food was amazing. Our favorites were the crab & avocado and the octopus appetizers. We would absolutely recommend trying both of these! Our waitress was also great! She was so helpful and friendly. We cannot wait to come back.
