- BBarbaraVIPChicago / Illinois •6 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe live in a tourist area with a huge number of restaurants but Michael's on East can always be counted on to provide high quality delicious food and impeccable service. We had a most memorable evening with them welcoming us back by name and going out of their way to mix an unusual cocktail that is not typically ordered. It was delicious. I particularly enjoy the epicurean menu which changes monthly. Sitting in the lounge for happy hour is also a nice friendly experience,More infoMichael's On EastPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Sarasota•4.7
- JJeanneVIPBaltimore / Maryland •24 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoMy only regret is that I don’t live closer so that I could experience this fabulous restaurant more often. Glenda took great care of us, and we sat outside on a beautiful night. I highly recommend the scallops, Caesar salad, the tuna entree and the skirt steak with plantains. This was a special anniversary for us, and the dessert- a chocolate confection of mousse with a hard chocolate shell- was divine. Thank you, Selva, for a memorable evening!More infoSelva Grill Downtown SarasotaPrice: Expensive• Latin / Spanish• Sarasota•4.9
