Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Osprey

Loved sitting at the bar. Alyssa was amazing, entertaining and so helpful with decisions on your amazing menu. We will be back! So many more delicious looking and sounding foods to try.

Food was absolutely delicious!! I had the Chicken Milanese and loved it- topped off with a decadent key lime pie!

Have eaten here several times and it is always outstanding. Glad they reopened after the damage from the hurricane. Menu is always interesting, food excellent, service excellent (Chris was our latest waiter), table by the water gives excellent view even of the Osprey nest not far away. Though "pricey", it is always an exceptional experience and one we always remember and look forward to.

What a beautiful place to celebrate any special event. The service was top notch our server Julia was so attentive and pleasant she made the night more enjoyable. The food was delicious everyone at the table was pleased. The chicken, duck, steak, fish and meatloaf all was cooked to perfection. I believe this was the first restaurant we went to where not a single dish received a complaint. Even the pickiest eaters had nothing negative to say. Thank you so much for an amazing experience.

Eating at Michael’s is a special treat when visiting Sarasota. This time we chose three dishes: the charcuterie board, sea bass, and chopped salad. The charcuterie board was outstanding, and the sea bass with risotto was excellent. To my taste, the chopped salad was not as good. It was overdressed with a somewhat sweet dressing, reminiscent of Russian dressing.
