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.

My wife and I went for our 22nd anniversary. It was our first time here and we were very pleased with our experience. We made reservations foe 5:15 and we're about 15 min early and we were seated immediately. Our server was excellent explaining the menu and all the options including the spe ials that were not on the menu. We ordered an appetizer each which came pretty quick and as we finished up them our entrees arrived just a few minutes later. Everything was timed perfectly and we did not wait a long time in between. Food was excellent and cooked to perfection. We were full by the end of our meal so when our waitress asked about dessert we had to decline. However because it was our Anniversary she boxed up a piece of cake to go which we enjoyed later on that night. Overall wonderful experience and we will definitely come back again, I highly recommend this restaurant.
