Ophelia’s was fabulous as usual! We have never had anything but fabulous food, wonderful service & a beautiful outdoor dining experience! This is our favorite restaurant in the Sarasota area and possibly just our favorite restaurant period. Chris provided wonderful service tonight and our meal was timed perfectly by him so that we could enjoy every aspect of it! An overall beautiful dining experience!

We went for a birthday dinner, and as always, everything was on point, from cocktails to dessert (and thank you, Klaus). I can't say enough good things about Roessler's: iconic venue, great food, amazing bar and wine list, super service, and the nicest owners you'll come across. It always feels like you are eating in their home.

Delicious as always. Macadamia nut crusted grouper is my fave! Service was a little slow but I think it’s because of how busy it was and just opening up after the hurricane. Highly recommend!

Came for $6.99 burger night. Burger was great, especially for the price. The fries were a bit undercooked. Service was great; our waitress was very sweet and attentive. Probably our fault, but we chose to sit outside and the vibe was just very off. No music or anything.
