Welcome to Sarita, where we are slightly obsessed with serving good food among friends and family. Our focus is on healthy, new American cuisine – a celebration of all our backgrounds and roots. The best of the best eats if you will. Lighter dishes with natural reductions, a lot of vinaigrettes, less cream, less butter — but unbelievable flavors. This is what you can expect if you choose to dine with us. And we hope you will. The name Sarita is a nod to Chef Anthony Romano’s mentor, plus the name of a song by the New Orleans band, The Subdudes, one of the chef’s favorites. The restaurant is owned by executive chef Romano. His approach to Sarita is fairly simple: to create a space that’s a reflection of his kind of place.relaxing, fun and celebrate life in the company of friends and family with good food and a great cocktail in hand.

Our first visit to The Last Page was excellent. We ordered the Chef's experience....so without ordering, we received at least 6 items from the menu, one after the other, and each was terrific. We started with a wonderful salad, then had ahi tuna tartar, then roasted carrots in a very nice cool Greek sauce, then chicken, potatoes, salmon and cooked onion halves...all shared in family style (just two of us) and topped off with a very moist citrus cake and wine. We were stuffed and had no doubts about any of the dishes. Of course, great meals are no cheap and neither is The Last Page; our meal with tax and a well-deserved tip came to over $230. Of course, we would go back again without hesitation, but not every weekend.

The food was fantastic, though of course on the more expensive side. Taking into consideration it was Mother’s Day, the service was surprisingly prompt and friendly. It was a wonderful experience all-around.
