Restaurants near Circus Sarasota Big Top

What a wonderful experience! My party went on Thanksgiving. We all had different entrees - duck, salmon, beef tenderloin. All were fabulous! Desserts and the espresso martinis were delicious too! Scott, our waiter, was wonderful too. He was attentive and friendly. The ambiance was cheerful and felt festive but we could have a conversation at the table without raising our voices. A great choice. I highly recommend Rosemary and Thyme for any occasion. You won’t be disappointed!

Love dining on the terrace. It was just noisier than usual.

Great spot on Sarasota Bay for delicious seafood and drinks. The grouper sandwich is the best in the area. The outdoor patio is the best setting, where you can watch the boats wander by or come to be stored in the adjacent boathouse. Plan ahead as reservations are scarce and you’ll face long waits without one.

It was very busy, so it was a little loud for the older people in our group to be able to hear. However, very nice atmosphere and surroundings. Our overall experience was "good" based on the wait staff was good, but not exceptional. IE: the waitress spilled our over-filled drink on the table when she delivered it and didn't brink beverage napkin, we waited a too long for empty glasses or dishes to be cleared, etc. Not enough to deter us from coming back! The food was exceptional.

Our lunches were delicious as always. The server was outstanding. My ONLY complaint is that they keep the background music too loud. Makes it hard to talk. We did ask them to please turn it down but they didn’t. I go to lunch with friends to socialize- not to listen to music.
