Very quiet night at UPCC but as always the food, drink and service from Laura was great and unlike most Country Clubs, the pricing is very fair.

All 7 of us thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. Brandon was our server and took excellent care of us. It was a monthly teacher outing and we chose to come back after our 1st great experience!

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.

We enjoyed our time at Fuego. The food was very good and the ambience was what it should be for a premium restaurant. We tried the Wagyu fajitas and the short ribs and both were delicious. We had ordered the octopus starter but a mixup in the kitchen delayed it and it would’ve been delivered with our entrées, which was unacceptable. We’d eaten plenty of the chips and salsa that were also very good and didn’t miss the starter. Due to the mixup, the Restaurant did the right thing and comped us our dessert that was delicious as well. Overall, I gave them a very high rating, even given the mixup with our starter. Everyone makes mistakes and in this case they more than made up for it. We were returned to the restaurant as we enjoyed the experience.
