Best Live Music Restaurants in Sarasota

This was our first time at the restaurant. The food was phenomenal and our waitress Christina was attentive and friendly. We will be back soon!

Sage is probably the most beautiful restaurant in Sarasota or its environs, and the professionalism of the staff is the highest level we have seen in the area. Unlike most joints which stop serving by 9:00 PM, Sage serves dinner until 10:00 PM on weekdays and 11:00 PM on Friday and Saturday, with last reservation at 9:30. We walked there in 4 minutes from seeing the Ballet at the Sarasota Opera House, and I called ahead to say the performance was delayed (it was an actual world premiere). Bless them, they kept the kitchen open just for us, the last diners, and we had the best after-theatre experience since we've lived in Florida, like the old days when we lived on the Upper West Side and went to Lincoln Center.

Another fabulous Friday pizza night at Bavaro's. The wood fired oysters appetizer was so delicious and the pizza margherita is always perfect! Enjoyed an espresso martini in honor of our forever server, Steven's, birthday. It was so delicious. If you are searching for the best Pizza Napolitana, look no further than Bavaro's. It's there waiting for you.

The food and service are outstanding. They are by far the best value in Sarasota....3 courses for less than $40 for great food is crazy good. We have always received great, attentive service whether we were outside on their patio or inside.

Terrific spot owned by Christophe and Geraldine who have shared authentic French foods for over quarter century.
