Best Live Music Restaurants in Sarasota

We were visiting from out of town and loved the idea that they had great sushi along with several great beef/pork options. Everything was delicious. We loved the beef fried rice and 4 of us ordered various sushi rolls and they were all excellent. We also tried the burger and it was great as well. Highly recommend.

The service and food were excellent. We’ll be back. Only suggestion would be to table bread.

Second visit, this time for the set menu on Christmas Day. A wide selection was available, including a halibut special. The lobster bisque was excellent, as was the duck a l’orange. The latter was better than the usual dish, since the sauce was served on the side, leaving the skin crispy, but the inside tender and moist. The halibut was also very good. In both cases, the portion size was very generous. Overall, an excellent experience and great value.

The service was outstanding, and remarkable, due to the specifics of this particular night. Our group was at Bavaro's in Sarasota during a busy holiday week, and on a night when the restaurant was a little understaffed, yet filled to capacity with patrons. Even the food met the standard that we have come to expect from Bavaro's. I tip my hat to you Bavaro's.

Terrific spot owned by Christophe and Geraldine who have shared authentic French foods for over quarter century.
