Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Lakewood Ranch

The flavor of every dish we ordered was on point! Service was great, beautiful restaurant. I had the chilean sea bass and it was like butter! The appetizers were delish as well. We got the lomo saltado empanadas and omg!! Delish!! We cannot wait to go back again.

Had issues with one of our meals, but staff went overboard to fix it and then comped it on top of that. Other meal was excellent with no issues. Restaurant was nicely decorated with great ambiance, with decent noise level. Our booth helped mute some of the sound level, so that made it nice. Our server Tiffany was well trained and extremely accommodating and sweet. Kudos to her professionalism. Other staff were just as great. Overall, a well run operation with fabulous food and an above-average staff. That almost always makes for a great experience, which this was. We highly recommend Conner’s.

Great choice to spend a special birthday dinner. Excellent food and service. Active vibe in the entire restaurant which is a good thing!

We haven't been to Paris Bistro in awhile but have been meaning to go for dinner since we mostly go here for lunch. It was the perfect spot for dinner before a movie. We had a reservation but decided to sit at the bar. A nice white tablecloth was laid out along with silverware and napkin. Turns out the staff member serving us, Emma, was the owners daughter (we meet great people sitting at a bar). She made great recommendations from the menu and was extremely attentive. We both started with glasses of different French wines. Both were excellent. My husband enjoyed the escargot for an appetizer and said it was very good. I enjoyed the Chicken Normande for my entree and he had the Pork Marco Polo. Both were delicious. There's nothing better than French sauces for their dishes. We normally don't do dessert but I love crêpes. They had a Profiterole Crêpe and we just had to order it. Emma warned us it was large. It was three crêpes, each filled with vanilla ice cream, topped with chocolate sauce and whipped cream. It was large but it was so good we ate it all. Pricing is very reasonable for what you get and the Chef's Menu is a steal at $34.95 for an appetizer and entree. You can order an entree only for $28.90. Plus they donate a $1 from each Chef's Menu order to the V Foundation for Pediatric Cancer Research (a cause dear to our hearts). It was the perfect place for a pre-movie dinner and we'll visit far more often in the future. Merci beaucoup to the staff!

Amazing food, great prices and atmosphere! Our waitress was incredible!
