We shared the caesar 1377 salad, which we never order because we are vegan. The salad is fairly large, and we would not have been able to finish the main course otherwise. My wife ordered the chermoula bowl, and she reported it was the best dish she has ever had in any Sarasota restaurant. I ordered the root pasta ai funghi, and I was leary of the preserved grape. I think it was a pickled grape, and it went well with the rest of the ingredients.

Always a fun family experience us. I especially appreciate all the gluten free options and how knowledgeable the staff is about them. It is also nice that the managers are visible and actively helping assist the servers. Although we miss having a Melting Pot in St. Petersburg, this one is worth the drive.
