Restaurants near Ramada Waterfront Sarasota

Service was great! Everyone was very welcoming and kind but the food was very memorable. The ambiance of the restaurant was so cozy and aesthetically pleasing. There is also a bar! They had daily specials and lunch specials. Complimentary garlic knots were so surprising and delicious. Their mozzarella wedges are a must have. Their pastas were huge portions, very filling and delicious. Their chicken soaks up the sauce of the food so well.Their food is made fresh in house so it was a little bit of a longer wait than I am used to but well worth.Will be back again!

Juan was so nice & dinner was great! Very accommodating for valentines :)

The Ringling Grillroom was an outstanding Valentines Day experience. We had the $99 couples special, where we shared an appetizer, dessert and bottle of wine, and got our own entrees. I had the beef medallions and my wife had the snapper. Both were delicious, and all were more food than we could eat -- we brought home doggie bags. We sat outside in a perfect temperature and slight breeze ... the sun was setting over the Ringling grounds, which were very peaceful. Lots of room for nice conversation. Our Venezuelan waiter was attentive and charming, and talked with us for a long time. Really ... if there's a better Valentines Day dinner, I'd like to hear about it. We love the Ringling!

The Reserve was outstanding accommodating the special needs of our larger group. The service was fast and the food delicious. All was beautifully served. I would highly recommend the Reserve.

We were very skeptical about eating at Riva. We had friends eat there twice and said the service and food were horrible. We had another friend eat there less than a week ago and said it was fantastic so we decided to try it. The entire dining experience was excellent. Our water, Jose, spent a lot of time going over the menu which was appreciated. Our appetizer, the grilled octopus was excellent. Our entrees came out and were prepared perfectly. Dessert and the wine were both enjoyable. It was a wonderful evening ending with Dennis Quaid walking in as we were walking out!😀
