This was again an excellent meal. We shared the crab cake and calamari appetizers - both were exceptional. My husband had the porterhouse steak that was brought back for testing at six locations on the menu. He said it was tender and flavorful. I had the lamb chops. They were very tasty, seasoned well. The waitress asked if I wanted the lamb chops butterflied and at no other visit have I been asked that. They taste so much more tender, this way for some reason. I will make a mental note to always request my lamb chops butterflied here. My husband had the lobster macaroni and cheese. He said it was very good not dry this time. I got the mashed potatoes which were delicious. Brussels sprouts were just OK. As the bacon was a bit chewy. The entire meal was an experience and delicious. We ordered dessert to go, coconut cream pie to share - it was still tasty once home. Service was excellent as well. We will be back.

A fantastic experience for my Mom and I on our annual holiday dinner night. The atmosphere at this restaurant is unmatched. Not over the top, and very well designed. Food was very good. Couldn’t really taste the lobster in the potatoes due to the addition of other ingredients but the grouper was excellent. My mom’s lobster polenta on the other hand was perfect. Cocktails were very good and creative. We hope to come back again soon.

About the restaurant

Welcome to Sarita, where we are slightly obsessed with serving good food among friends and family. Our focus is on healthy, new American cuisine – a celebration of all our backgrounds and roots. The best of the best eats if you will. Lighter dishes with natural reductions, a lot of vinaigrettes, less cream, less butter — but unbelievable flavors. This is what you can expect if you choose to dine with us. And we hope you will. The name Sarita is a nod to Chef Anthony Romano’s mentor, plus the name of a song by the New Orleans band, The Subdudes, one of the chef’s favorites. The restaurant is owned by executive chef Romano. His approach to Sarita is fairly simple: to create a space that’s a reflection of his kind of place.relaxing, fun and celebrate life in the company of friends and family with good food and a great cocktail in hand.
