Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Lakewood Ranch

My husband and I decided on this place last minute as we were in Sarasota for the day and wanted to grab dinner before we left. Thank goodness we did! It literally was and will be one of our top favorites places to eat. Nick was our server and he was really amazing. Top notch service. Can’t wait to go back !

Christian was absolutely amazing. We’ve been 2 this location 2 years in a row for our anniversary and it’s always exceptional!! Way to go Lakewood Ranch Ruth’s Chris Steak House! We will definitely be back!

We had a nice dinner with an attentive waitress. Pleasant atmosphere. The Burrata was delicious and the bisque had nice texture and good lobster meat. We had the Parpadelle with crab and Alfredo - the lump crab meat was plentiful in a flavorful sauce. Highly recommend as well as the Veal Massimo which was very rich and came with veggies. The sauce was delicious. Finally we had the lemoncello cake with raspberry sauce - simply divine. The whipped cream is worth it alone on the side. Chef came by to check on us as well. We had a lovely time thank you.

The food and service were outstanding. There were many traditional and unique items to choose from on the menu. We had several special requests and Selva was able to meet them all. An excellent dining experience. We definitely would recommend Selva.

We had another wonderful dining experience at Michael's on East, and because of the delightful weather we enjoyed our meal in the lovely outdoor atrium beneath the twinkling lights We decided on the monthly Epicurean menu, so this month we enjoyed menu options inspired by the cuisine of South Africa - what a treat! We always enjoy the regular menu options, but it is so special to be able to enjoy flavors from around the world as an alternative. The food, as always, was freshly prepared to order and every bite was delicious. The recommended wine pairings made the perfect match The service at Michael's on East is always wonderful, and this time was no exception - so many thanks to Freddy, Katie and the rest of the team for a wonderful service that added greatly to our enjoyment of the evening.
