When we started Big Top Brewing Company, there were no craft breweries in the Sarasota area and we set out to fix that. We wanted to compliment Sarasota’s historical associations with The Ringling Circus, performing arts, great architecture, the best art and design schools and world renown tourism. The best way we could do that was to craft beer that our home town can be proud of. We plan to continue the tradition of the arts and help Sarasota add beer town to its identity. Come step under our big top and see for yourself. Big Top Brewing Company artistically crafts world class beers, inspired by our passion, integrity, and the history of our home town.

    Though it was very busy the service was fantastic and informative. The January wine ( vin noir) was superb. Our meals were excellent as well as the desserts. Overall a delightful evening.

    Second time we’ve eaten here, food and service is outstanding. Only negative is noise level, very hard to carry on a conversation or to hear our server. Will definitely return.

    I have been to this location several times and I am pleased to report they are consistently outstanding in terms of food, service and providing a great overall dining experience. Dinners have been great, but today I enjoyed the lunch menu. Our server was Susie and she did a great job! I’ll add that in my numerous visits a number of other servers provided outstanding service. Servers are attentive and also do a great job of supporting each other and acting as a customer service ‘team.’ From the hostess to the Manager, the kitchen staff and the servers, you’ll find a commitment to excellence at the Capital Grille ~ Sarasota.

    Our server Priscilla was lovely. She was patient and helpful and very knowledgeable of the menu. That always makes a dining experience so much better. We were celebrating My Sons 30th birthday and had a really nice time. The food was delicious, and very fresh, service was quick, but not rushed. Margaritas were great. Every entrée and appetizer was delicious. Presentation was nice. The only thing I would change was the Birria tacos served on that wood tray, the wood was really rough and splintered and the bathroom was a hot mess and sinks were clogged. Honestly, we had a great time. We ordered extra entrées to bring home. We will definitely be back very soon. 100% recommend
