- 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

- EElaineVIPTampa / Central Florida West •11 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoOcean Prime has wonderful food and service. Rebecca was awesome! It was our anniversary and we were greeted with a glass of complimentary champagne when we entered. We sat in the outside section that is covered and has screens, ceiling fans and heaters for all types of weather. I’m not sure how warm it would be on a warm summer evening, but it was perfect last night. The noise level where we were seated was fine, but as we left we noticed the noise inside was quite loud. There were alot of people at the bar which probably contributed to that. As a senior, I’m not sure sitting inside would be pleasant for those that may have difficulty hearing. Our view was good but they are beginning to construct a large condo building right next door to the restaurant. So I have concerns about the view while they continue to build and am unsure what it will look like when the construction is complete. And while everything was almost perfect, the price is also out of this world. For 2 people to have a couple of drinks, one appetizer, 2 mains with sides and 2 desserts, and parking, the price was almost $500 before tip. All that said, it was a wonderful anniversary dinner. Thank you Ocean Prime!More infoOcean Prime - SarasotaPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Sarasota•4.7
- BBradfordGreater Boston •13 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoIndigenous continues to be our favorite restaurant in Sarasota. We have been 5 or 6 times now and it is consistently excellent. Food is delicious and is comes from a variety of sources. Always fresh and tasty. The service is extraordinary. Although we are only seasonal residents of Sarasota, dinner at Indigenous is always a must for us.More infoIndigenousPrice: Expensive• American• Sarasota•4.7
- LLindaVIPGreater Boston •23 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe had tickets to McCurdy’s comedy and saw that Mediterranean was nice and close so we decided to try it out. We’ve been here four years ago, but haven’t been there recently. We were pleasantly surprised at how good the food was and how quickly we were able to get in and out for our show.More infoMediterraneo Ristorante ItalianoPrice: Expensive• Italian• Sarasota•4.8
