Restaurants near Sarasota Memorial Hospital

This was our first visit to Libby’s and right from the start it was fantastic. The food was delicious and our server, Candace, was such a pleasure! She was warm and friendly and lovely to chat with. She truly made our experience that much better. Highly recommend this restaurant!

We had another wonderful meal at Michael’s. We sampled the French Epicurean menu and were pleased with our choices. My husband had the butternut squash and sweet potato soup and the Scottish salmon, and I had crawfish beignets and veal scallops with Calvados. The desserts are all made in house, even the ice cream which accompanied my almond cake! Everything was delicious! Our server Kelly, and attendant Isabel were friendly and attentive. Having Michael stop by the table always adds a nice touch. He makes everyone feel welcome! We’ll be back again soon.

Love the restaurant, food was excellent, very good waiter and very nice environment and reasonable prices for the quality of the food. Would highly recommend it.

It was lovely. We sat at the chef’s table, which was fun. We met another lovely couple there. Tasted as much as we could, want to try things we just didn’t have the capacity for. Very special place, unique, opportunity for every appetite. 

They were particularly generous with the tea, continuing to encourage us to try more. Our group of 4 went through about 19 pots of tea, and they were still encouraging us to try more. Quality was good too. The food was also good. They made some accommodations for the gluten free member of our group, even though I'd forgotten to give them notice up front. Overall we were very impressed and happy. The only issue was that I'd first made an OpenTable reservation 2 weeks prior and they called me the morning after I made it to tell me they were already full (this was around Christmas time). There was no issue honoring the 2nd reservation weeks later.
