Best Lunch Restaurants in Bayshore Gardens

We love Scarpino's. I was afraid a few years back when they sold the restaurant what would happen. It is still my favorite restaurant. Food is fabulous

If 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!

My husband and I I had a delightful experience at Christmas dinner at Pier 22. We found the atmosphere delightful the cheerfulness and the staff was amazing. The food was delicious and again we were quite pleased with everything. We have been coming to Pier 22 for several Christmases and will continue to do so thank you for making our holiday so pleasant and special.

We always love the Grill Room. The location is great, easy menu with something for everyone, good service, fresh food that is well prepared every time. We only wish the hours were longer so we could go even more!

Brittney was an amazing server. She did everything she could to best assist us. She joked with us, chatted with us and made our Christmas Eve lunch extra tasty!
