Sage SRQ in Sarasota is a culinary gem offering "great food" in a beautiful historic setting. Guests rave about "amazing" service, particularly by servers like Cassie and Katie. The rooftop bar is a popular spot for pre-dinner cocktails. Signature dishes like Thai bouillabaisse and seared foie gras are "delightful" and "executed to perfection."

    We had a wonderful experience. The building is absolutely beautiful offering a price of Sarasota history. Our waiter was wonderful, offered good information on both the building and the food/ drinks and was just a really nice guy. Everything appeared to our table timely and correct. I had the tangerine spritz which I was a little nervous about as I do not drink gin, but the sweetness of the tangerine balanced out the gin nicely. I ordered the spinach salad which was nothing fancy but the vinaigrette was perfect in flavor and dressed with the perfect amount. I ordered the Thai bouillabaisse as it is the restaurants staple dish and it was incredible. We split the earl grey crème brûlée to finish and I would order this again and again. Best dining experience since we moved to Sarasota a year ago. We will definitely go back!

    Old Spaniard cocktails and Materra Midnight wine delicious as were the wild boar cannelloni, butter chicken and tropical cheesecake. Cassie is the best server. She is always friendly and prompt. The live music was also excellent.

    The ambience of this historic building is worth the price of the dinner, but the dinner was sublime. Fois gras and bouillabaisse. Living large. Cassie was a wonderful server.
