Best Date Night Restaurants in Lake Sarasota

We dined at Coopers Hawk Winery & Restaurant for my birthday celebration. Our Waitress, Paula, was very helpful, since it was our first time at Coopers Hawk, with choosing our wine, dinner and surprised us with a delightful birthday truffle dessert. We had the steak medallion lunch and it was tender, cooked to our request and delicious. We will be back to Coopers Hawk.

Indigenous is an absolute culinary masterpiece in Sarasota. From the passionate hosts and servers to the ever changing and exquisite meals. You will never have a meal that misses here. Chefs are top notch and always deliver masterpieces. Can’t say enough about this fantastic place!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Dinner was delicious. Of course it never disappoints! The restaurant was full, but noise level was moderate due to the three different levels. Our waiter was David one of the bar tenders. Very helpful, considerate and cheerful! Would love to request him again. Will be going back for sure

Kore is about providing an elevated, exceptionally memorable experience through the decor, plateware and thoughtfulness put into the expansive options they have. I wish their dessert menu breathed a bit more Korean authenticity to it. For example, it would be nice to see them feature Hotteok, Songpyeon, Yakgwa,or Baesuk, to name a few traditional Korean sweets. It would also be nice to see their beverage program expand upon Korean alcoholic beverages and cocktails that reflected cultural tradition: for example, Gwasilju, as an option for those who want to drink their dessert yet in a low alcohol form, or perhaps see Sansachun in a seasonal inspired cocktail. Otherwise, Kore remains a favorite that I’ve visited repeatedly and I’d recommend for special occasions.

Great energetic atmosphere. There were lots of families with small children, as well as all other age groups. Outdoor seating had colorful seating tables, a large rectangular fire pit with plenty of seating around it. Long outdoor bar with TV's. The food is scratch made and delicious.
