- LLowellOrlando / Central Florida East •3 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoReally a great experience. This was our first visit since recently moving to the area. Food was excellent and the service was great from being seated to the end. Our server, Kate E was absolutely wonderful. She was caring, attentive, and had a fabulous customer-centric focus. Nice views on top of great food and service. 10 out of 10 for us.More infoDry Dock Waterfront GrillPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Longboat Key•4.9
- FFrankTampa / Central Florida West •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoWe had a fantastic time 12-27-24. Dinner was outstanding I had the prime and my date had the sea bass. It was my birthday and everyone went out of their way to wish me a happy birthday. Our server Bryan was excellent quick with service and getting anything we needed. It is a little pricey so be sure to check out the menu to see if it fits your purse.More infoOcean Prime - TampaPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Tampa•4.8
- BBarbaraVIPChicago / Illinois •6 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe live in a tourist area with a huge number of restaurants but Michael's on East can always be counted on to provide high quality delicious food and impeccable service. We had a most memorable evening with them welcoming us back by name and going out of their way to mix an unusual cocktail that is not typically ordered. It was delicious. I particularly enjoy the epicurean menu which changes monthly. Sitting in the lounge for happy hour is also a nice friendly experience,More infoMichael's On EastPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Sarasota•4.7
- LLisaFort Lauderdale •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoIf you want authentic Spanish/Cuban food, Columbia is the place to go in Sarasota. We tried a number of things from the menu, chopped tomatoes, Cuban black bean soup (vegan), stuffed shrimp, key lime pie, and white chocolate bread pudding. These items, along with the crispy bread and an Andulusian Gimlet with fresh strawberries were fantastic. Our waitress has quite friendly and extremely prompt, which added to the overall experience. We will definitely be visiting again and hoping to have a cozy table inside. We were seated on the sidewalk (which was the only availability when we made our reservation), and the constant parade of cars, people, and dogs often distracted us from the wonderful meal before us. Note to self: reserve early, this restaurant is extremely popular!More infoColumbia Restaurant - SarasotaPrice: Moderate• Spanish• Sarasota•4.8
- NNanVIPSouthwest Florida •21 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoOn Dec. 2nd, 13 of my friends met me at Connors in Sarasota to celebrate my birthday at 3 p.m. It was a total surprise to me. Our waiter was Isaah Mills...He handled all these women with ease and with a smile. He even cut my birthday cake and handed it to my friends. All of us commented about his personality and nice smile and his friendly manner. I just had to mention that about Isaah as frequently a diner does not experience such royal treatment. On December 24th, my husband and I went to Connors for an early dinner and again we were treated like royalty. Our waiter's name was Jake. He also was very friendly and made sure we did not need anything . I live in Venice and I have recommended Connors to everyone. I have lived here for 7 years and I have been to Connors 51 times and never once was disappointed with any meal or service. Happy New Year to all the nice people who work for Connors.
