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.

We have always loved the food and experience at Cooper’s Hawk! Today we ordered their Thanksgiving dinner which didn’t taste quite as expected. Lots of food however the turkey was very dry. Very dry. They didn’t hardly put more than a tablespoon of gravy on top. No gravy on the potatoes. Green beans also needed lots of seasoning. The stuffing and pecan praline cheesecake were the best parts of the meal.

Surprise! Burntwood Tavern is not known as a steak house. However, the three filets that were ordered were perfect in size and how they were prepared! I highly recommend if you are looking for an excellent filet, cooked to perfection for a decent price this is it! The wait staff was attentive and helped to make an excellent dining experience!

The food was fantastic, though of course on the more expensive side. Taking into consideration it was Mother’s Day, the service was surprisingly prompt and friendly. It was a wonderful experience all-around.
