                                          Never heard of it and never ate there before but a definite return. The food was fantastic. Located in the strip mall I didn’t have high expectations, but we were all beyond impressed. A nice little hometown diner type high-end restaurant. Great variety of entrées great specials.

                                          My parents came from out of town and wanted to take my kids and me out and we alll loved our food. We have been many times but the menu changed a bit so we got to try some new food and it was fantastic. Highly recommend. Food is always good and service is always good as well. Unique menu items like Korean meatloaf

                                          My steak was over-cooked. The chef came out to our table. He he was contentious, bllamed the wait staff. Clearly he was underskilled and very unprofessional. And the steak was only mediocre, in flavor, at best. Disappointing experience to say the least.

                                          We are regulars @ B&W it’s one of our favorites in Sarasota - we miss their pizzas 😢 but using the brick oven for entrees has added a lot to the flavor profile ! Service is always professional that’s not always the case here in sunny Florida ;) cocktails are some of the best anywhere - you can try something new or they’ll make it the traditional way. That said, the Tequila Old Fashioned was amazing !!

                                          Excellent dinner and service... Only negative, it is a loud space, hard to hear a conversation. But food was perfect...
