Welcome to Sarita, where we are slightly obsessed with serving good food among friends and family. Our focus is on healthy, new American cuisine – a celebration of all our backgrounds and roots. The best of the best eats if you will. Lighter dishes with natural reductions, a lot of vinaigrettes, less cream, less butter — but unbelievable flavors. 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 had such a wonderful experience. The views are gorgeous and the food was amazing. I especially recommend the clam chowder. Our server was so kind, and many staff came by and collected dishes, drinks were always refilled. We also took our infant and they were very accommodating. I highly recommend if you are looking for special night out!

    The table bread had a fantastic crust with an amazing crunch, but the inside of the bread was soft and chewy, and just so delicious. It came with dipping sauce that included roasted garlic, which was to die for. We had the sacchetti as an appetizer and it was just as delicious as the bread. For our meals, we had the Bolognese and the tortellini and both were so delicious. The portion sizes were good, but not ridiculously large. The amount of protein included was generous. The pasta was delightful. For dessert we had the tiramisu and the mousse and both were a spectacular ending to a spectacular meal. The service was perfect, she took the time to chat a little here and there but never hovered. The noise level was a little louder than I’d prefer but not obnoxiously so. We will definitely eat here again.

    Sarah was a wonderful server who helped make my friend’s birthday celebration extra special. My friend greatly enjoyed the lobster bisque and lobster risotto. I started with the wedge Caesar salad, which was beautifully presented and delicious. And my simply prepared sautéed walleye with asparagus and mashed potatoes was tender, moist and flavorful. I have been enjoying Salmon Dave’s for more than 30 years and will be back again.
