- NNancyVIPSouthwest Florida •25 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoI have lunch at Connor’s at least once a month. I view it as a combination of excellent food and reasonable prices. I’m particularly fond of their half price happy hour. It’s pretty easy to have a delicious meal and a beer for $20. That’s hard to find these days. Today our server was Frank and he couldn’t have been more attentive. He let us take our time before before ordering, checked if we needed anything during the meal and then wrapped up leftovers for us. If you haven’t gone already, treat yourself to lunch at Connor’s and I think you’ll be happy.More infoConnors Steak & Seafood - SarasotaPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Siesta Key•4.8
- BBrianVIPTampa / Central Florida West •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoCafe Gabbiano is our go-to restaurant on Siesta Key. Tucked away in the corner of a shopping area, we’re always greeted by friendly staff who always seat us at our before our reserved time. Our waitstaff has always been friendly, attentive and a pleasure to speak with. They have a large selection of wine, and the bartenders serve excellent mixed drinks. The selections of appetizers, to salads, entrees, to deserts provides an experience for even picking eaters (like our kids). We’ve tried many of their selections and while we have our favorites, we’ve never experienced a bad meal. My favorite, bruschetta for an appetizer, truffle ravioli for the main course and a chocolate martini for the closer.More infoCafe GabbianoPrice: Moderate• Italian• Siesta Key•4.8
- WFWFBfoodieVIPChicago / Illinois •14 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThe atmosphere is noisy but fun! Food is very good….just ordered something that was a bit too high in sodium for me. Service was good except we had to ask for water twice and it didn’t arrive until we were halfway finished with our entrees. To be fair, it was very busy. Also I ordered a drink that was described as using fresh fruit juice but it tasted more like simple syrupMore infoColumbia Restaurant - SarasotaPrice: Moderate• Spanish• Sarasota•4.8
- RRebeccaVIPSan Diego •41 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoI hadn’t been here for a few years and was happy to see that it’s just as good as it’s always been. Three of us enjoyed delicious meals. The Parmesan beignets were amazing! One in our group raved about the mushroom soup. Also – I always recommend getting their homemade ice cream for dessert.

- HHeidiVIPBaltimore / Maryland •13 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoOur server must of have had too many tables. We did not receive the exceptional service that we have experienced in the past. The food as always was exceptional, worth every penny spent on the marvelous steak. The piano music was so loud that we could not have conversation at the table. I realize that it is Christmas party season so that accounts for a bit of noise in the restaurant. We will be back again after the holiday season when we know that service will be back to the exceptional standard of Micheals on EastMore infoMichael's On EastPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Sarasota•4.8
