   We had booked our reservation, thinking that we would be ordering Mediterranean food. However, it was Christmas, and when we arrived at the restaurant, we were informed that there was a fixed price buffet. The buffet had a traditional Christmas dinner, including a carving station which included ham and roast beef. It wasn’t what we had expected it to be. That aside, we didn’t like how the food tasted. We were very disappointed. Not only that, but it was expensive.

   The restaurant was wonderful. However it is located in the Art ovation Hotel, and the hotel stinks! Whatever aromatherapy the hotel is using makes it smell like a cheap toilet!!It was overwhelming and putrid. But the restaurant was great!

   Delicious food! Loved the feta, the wagyu skirt steak and the hummous! There was also a great belly dancer who performed.

   Excellent food and service. Our waiter knew we had a show to catch and made sure we were served with plenty of time to spare.

   Had a really wonderful dinner tonight at Tzeva Restaurant Tzeva Sarasota in the Art Ovation Hotel, Autograph Collection downtown. The food is a blend of Mediterranean delights, everything was done perfectly from the starters of Hummous and Toasted Feta Cheese with Thyme Honey, Dukkha, and Castelvetrano Olives plus accompanying warm Pita Bread to delicious Falafel with Smoked Tomato Chutney, wonderful Grouper Shaslik Kebabs with Fennel Orange Salad was perfectly cooked and while spicy, it was excellent—the waitress correctly gave me a heads up before taking the order and perhaps my favorite among favorites were the succulent Wagyu Short Ribs with amazing Golden Saffron Mashed Potatoes and Apricot Chutney which had my mouth watering—and dessert, which I usually skip was worth saving room for! Black Sesame Crème Brûlée. Yum! Service was spot on, nice ambience, a well-appointed wine list, interesting cocktails, some happy hour specials and a belly dancer added to the authenticity and fun! The room is contemporary and comfortable, the high ceilings, shiny wooden floors, large live plants and floor to ceiling windows helped create a welcoming ambience. Chef Ken Shiro and Tzeva are a great addition to Sarasota, this is way more than a typical “hotel restaurant.” Service was warm, friendly, professional, and efficient, Mary the Manager made sure to stop at least once at every table to ensure everything was to our liking and make folks feel welcome. It’s little touches like being acknowledged and checked in on during the course of the meal, having your water glass refilled without asking, and my waitress, Bucru even brought a brighter table lamp over without my asking, as she saw I was photographing my food (which I always do) and thought it would be helpful. Little things like staff that go the extra mile separate a good meal from a great meal.
