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.

Love the atmosphere! Great bar and set up. We had cocktails at the bar before our table was ready. Impressive and unique drink list, the bar tenders clearly know what they are doing. It was fun to watch. We really enjoyed the appetizers, the main dishes had good flavor, loved the Salmon and pork chop, the pasta dishes tasted good but reminded me of something I could easily make at home. Great service.

Wife and I had terrific dinner last evening. Ostrich and scallops appetizers, lobster pasta and mussels saffron pasta entrees all outstanding. Our server Jen was extremely helpful in choosing two bottles of the style of wines we wanted (we took part of each bottle home!). Looking forward to returning to try many other dishes.
