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.

    Our meal and service were outstanding. My only complaint is the same that I experience in many restaurants now- It's so loud we have trouble even talking to each other at the table. What happened to polite dinner conversation? I'm not talking about the bar area, that had fun music playing that created a festive atmosphere.

    Always an impeccable experience here. Food was exceptional; the rockfish marsala was a delicious, inventive new take I'd never seen before, and the scallops were perfectly cooked and seasoned, maybe the best I've ever had. Drinks? Delicious. Dessert? 10/10. Live piano in the corner? Delightful. But what really stands out here is the waitstaff -- Ricky, our waiter, was so friendly, attentive and helpful, checking in at exactly the right moments, and we really appreciated him! Could not be happier -- this one of the best dining out experiences in Cleveland, hands down.

    Professional restauranters are running this restaurant. This is old school service. Front end staff is pleasant and knowledgeable. Managers are attentive. Bartender is a pro. Our apps (we had 4 I'm embarrassed to admit) were excellent. The crab app and the mushroom gnocchi app (available in bar) were outstanding. My entre (grouper) was very salty but I will give that a pass because everything else was excellent. If you are seeking an old school fine dining experience with knowledgeable and personable wait staff in Cleveland, it is basically down to Johnny's on Fulton and Blue Point. I put this place on a level with several first rate restaurants in Manhattan and Washington D.C.
