    We dined on the outside - the street tables set up to accommodate all the Valentines diners and it worked out perfectly. Although very busy we were waited on by David reasonably fast. The food was fantastic. With all the activity in Sarasota we joked we got dinner and a show (some pedestrians were quite amusing) at HP Always a treat and never disappointed ❤️

    This remains our absolute favorite restaurant anywhere in the world. We had Tuna trio, Seabass, mousse in chocolate shell and my husband had paella. Every bite was scrumptious with the best flavoring. Our pear and Manhattan martinis were also fabulous. The waiter was beyond the best as we celebrated year 55 of engagement. He recognized it, had a card and rose for us and a free dessert. What a wonderful dining experience.

    Wonderful place, yummy food, and delicious cocktails. Cristina was a delight, we have learned so much from her about the history of the restaurant.Her food suggestions were very good..Raphael was welcoming from the door, encouraging us to try the bar upstairs and he was right we had an amazing time.The ambiance and music is nice. We returned twice and also tried their other restaurant, Clasico, for good pizza and sald for lunch.Highly recommend this restaurant

    My wife and I celebrated our 47th wedding anniversary with dinner at Sage SRQ. It was an extraordinarily delightful experience. The historic building makes a charmingly comfortable & tasteful setting. The menu is intriguing, and every dish was beautifully presented and perfectly prepared. It was perfect and memorable experience in every way. We have found our new go to special occasion spot. Well done!
