Best Historic Restaurants in Sarasota

Ambience and view are excellent, food as well - early bird menu was great value. Service was a little off and website/menu/etc doesn’t mention that happy hour is only the bar area, otherwise would have been 5 stars.

Wonderful small restaurant with great food and service. Antonio and his team have it going great. It’s up with out top three restaurants in the Sarasota area.

SAGE is unique in Sarasota. The ambience is very sophisticated with an up beat vibe: wood, soft lights, bit dark in decor but not depressing, just like a really good bar in NYC. Wait staff is outstanding. Cassie was our server and she was top notch: fun, warm, interested, knowledgeable, helpful, went out of her way. Dining manager in sport coat and tie was charming and an unusual touch in our little town by the Bay. Food was truly outstanding: mezzaluna pasta appetizer, filet mignon, pork chop, all delicous. The apple crispy thing for dessert was not great: dry. But beautifully designed and presented. This is a small criticism for a great restaurant. Sage is VERY PRICEY but worth it for a special event or splurge. Put it on your special list.

The food is amazing. The cocktails are pretty good. A little pricey, the service is excellent. The staff is absolutely engaging. Tonight‘s hostess helped me arrange a table and was most helpful. The place is definitely cool. Go eat there. 

My husband loves the restaurant because food quality is excellent and its quiet! Thano for acknowledging his birthday.
