What Customers Say
"This is a beautiful place to enjoy a meal with loved ones, The ambience and the friendliness of the staff was second to none. We followed the recommendations of the experienced staff and our appetizers and entrées were universally rated five stars."
"We had a fantastic dinner last night. Among our favorites were the roasted goat cheese appetizer, the compressed watermelon salad, and the mushroom ravioli. What a great way to spend the evening with family and friends!!!"
"We are die-hard foodies and the food was the main reason we kept seeking and finally found this excellent high-end restaurant in a quaint Rosemary district of Sarasota. The service was fantastic, helping us to find the best food choices for us. The ambience is cozy yet festive. We tried the bouillabaisse and it was just excellent! Also the rack of lamb and veal saltimbocca were heavenly. Highly recommended!"
"Great new restaurant in Rosemary District. We loved the place, the food and the ambiance created around it."
"We had a lovely evening with excellent service and beautiful food. The restaurant itself is very pretty and the food presentation was terrific!"
