                                                    Tzeva offers a delightful Mediterranean dining experience with standout dishes like falafel, hummus, and Moroccan chicken. Patrons praise the "excellent waiter" service and "delicious food." The ambiance is enhanced by live entertainment, including a belly dancer. While some found the service inconsistent, the atmosphere and culinary creativity make it a memorable visit.

                                                      Nice environment. The hostess and our server were great. The one guy who delivered the food was miserable(blonde hair). My grouper dish was good but surpriised how small the price of fish was for being in Sarasota, Florida! The fish got lost on the plate. Nice flavor profiles on the menu were nice though!

                                                      We had booked our reservation, thinking that we would be ordering Mediterranean food. However, it was Christmas, and when we arrived at the restaurant, we were informed that there was a fixed price buffet. The buffet had a traditional Christmas dinner, including a carving station which included ham and roast beef. It wasn’t what we had expected it to be. That aside, we didn’t like how the food tasted. We were very disappointed. Not only that, but it was expensive.

                                                      The restaurant was wonderful. However it is located in the Art ovation Hotel, and the hotel stinks! Whatever aromatherapy the hotel is using makes it smell like a cheap toilet!!It was overwhelming and putrid. But the restaurant was great!

                                                      Delicious food! Loved the feta, the wagyu skirt steak and the hummous! There was also a great belly dancer who performed.
