- JGJeremieGSan Francisco Bay Area •3 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoLovely time. Always a nice experience being at the Melting pot. I didn't realize the fix menu for valentine had extra fees in it depending on probably the dessert. It is a bit pricey for it, but the ambiance makes up for it!More infoThe Melting Pot - SarasotaPrice: Expensive• Fondue• Sarasota•4.6
- TTonyTampa / Central Florida West •12 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoOur go-to place for special occasions (last night Valentines) so we’re very fond of this quaint restaurant in downtown Sarasota except last night it was so busy that some items seemed to have slipped through the cracks. The food is always great however last night wasn’t as great. The service was excellent for us but we noticed other tables were not as fortunate. The prices seemed to have been adjusted for the Valentine’s menu (adjusted meaning RAISED), for we each had a meal, (Grouper / Pork Oso-busco) nothing fancy) a glass of wine and shared a dessert with one complimentary basket of bread (NOT even a house salad) and the bill was $175! A bit pricey if you’d ask me.More infoThe Rosemary & ThymePrice: Expensive• American• Sarasota•4.8
- KKathiTampa / Central Florida West •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe enjoyed a lovely dinner at Dry Dock for Valentine’s Day. The restaurant was busy but the team had everything under control. We were greeted immediately and taken care of promptly at the bar for cocktails as we waited a very short time for our table. Our server was informative and efficient and went above and beyond to make us feel at home and understand the menu. Our food was amazing The snapper served right off the grill and the side veggies perfectly cooked. The jambalaya was piping hot and delicious. No room for dessert this time but the key lime pie was so tempting! 5 ⭐️More infoDry Dock Waterfront GrillPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Longboat Key•4.8
- VVerniceVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •33 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe dined on the outside - the street tables set up to accommodate all the Valentines diners and it worked out perfectly. Although very busy we were waited on by David reasonably fast. The food was fantastic. With all the activity in Sarasota we joked we got dinner and a show (some pedestrians were quite amusing) at HP Always a treat and never disappointed ❤️More infoHyde Park Prime Steakhouse - SarasotaPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Sarasota•4.7
