    We've been to many Cooper's Hawk restaurants but this was our first visit to Sarasota. We were seated when we arrived on time for our reservation. The wine tasting room was busy but quiet. The restaurant is beautiful. Our server, Duncan, was excellent. We tasted the wine of the month but decide to order the Sangria this time. We had 4 different entrees and everyone was very pleased with the meal. The short rib dinner was excellent with the most tender beef. We will be back!

    It was our first time there. We were so happy with all aspects of our experience. It’s a fun, classy vibe. The design and decorative choices are perfectly appointed. Our server Angela was so knowledgeable and assisted us in moving through our menu choices. Every suggestion she made was spot on. Her timing and attention to detail was much appreciated. The food was incredible, each course was delicious and the pistachio olive oil cake with gelato was over the top, wow. Matt the manager stopped by and we had a great conversation with him. Overall a 5 star experience.

    Seasons 52 is always one of our favorites for dependably delicious food with an eye toward healthy choices. The steaks were fantastic, as were the wood-grilled scallops. The mini-indulgences add the perfect bit of sweetness to the end. Service was impeccable. The wine prices seemed a little high to me, but maybe that's the norm these days. The "high energy environment" is a bit noisy for older people, so maybe try to get seated near the edges. Overall, still one of our favorites.
