Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Sarasota

We loved the diverse dishes. The spice levels were surprising yet exactly what we were looking for. The cuisine(s) were almost authentic and the presentation convincing. Sergio did a great job hosting and serving us. Diligent, polite, and knowledgeable. Dear "1592 Team" - thank you for making last night's dinner experience special.

We ordered from the early dining menu...salmon. It was very good...almost too much to eat. Our cocktails were very great...pricey but we were aware of the cost. Our server, Josh, (co-server, Max) was excellent. He was very friendly, as well as helpful!

My boyfriend and I have heard nothing but good things about Selva. We decided to do dinner and we were not disappointed. We started off with some drinks, the espresso martini is an absolute must there! We had the empanadas as an appetizer. One was spinach and one was beef, both were amazing and flavorful! For dinner I had the skirt steak with truffle risotto (I subbed the sweet plantains for the risotto). My boyfriend had the short rib with asparagus and couscous risotto. He loved the short rib and asparagus, the couscous risotto lacked a bit of flavor but was still good mixed with everything. Overall, we were incredibly happy with the food and the service! We can’t wait to go back and try more from their menu!

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.

Excellent service and selection. We sat outside and the food came out promptly and was delicious!
