The market itself is a Sarasota institution known for pairing custom cut prime meats with a massive…read moreselection of fine wines and gourmet foods. I was there for the wine, I might have bought some potato salad. ​You step off the burning Sarasota asphalt into a cool, carpeted room that smells like cold cut steaks, smoked bacon fat, and the damp oak of expensive wine barrels. It's quiet inside, the kind of quiet that lets a man hear his own thoughts, whether he wants to or not, typically I fo not care to hear the committee as I so affectionately refer to the voices. ​On one side, you've got cold glass cases packed with raw red beef, house made sausage, and thick-cut slab bacon. On the other side, row after row of Cabernet and Pinot sit under green lamps, lined up on blonde wood racks like a legion of dark bottles ready to take the edge off a hot Florida evening. Up in the back room, behind a pair of doors under a small, glittering chandelier, they keep the high-dollar stuff Opus, Ridge, Cabernets that costs more than a ome poor slobs week's wages. High-end grapes waiting on a wooden barrel for somebody with too much money in his pocket. ​It's half butcher shop, half high class cellar, all clean carpet and quiet business. You can pick out a prime ribeye, grab a bottle of deep red to drown the heat, and head back out to the parking lot before the sun burns through your shirt. A solid joint. Get your meat, grab your wine, and get out into the shade.

My family and I recently dined here and unfortunately left disappointed. We waited about 30 minutes…read morefor our food, which seemed unusual given that the restaurant was not particularly busy. From our table, I could actually see my chicken sandwich sitting in the service window for quite some time before it was finally brought out. When the food arrived, the sandwich, fries, and cheese were all cold. I politely asked for the meal to be remade and inquired whether it would take another 30 minutes. Our server said they would get it out quickly and explained that they were busy. However, looking around the dining room, there were only a handful of occupied tables and two servers working. Several nearby tables were simply having drinks, so it was difficult to understand the delay. What was most disappointing wasn't even the cold food--it was the lack of acknowledgment. A simple apology or some communication about the delay would have gone a long way toward improving the experience. I understand that servers aren't responsible for cooking the food, but they do pass the service window regularly. If food has been sitting under the heat lamps for several minutes waiting on other items, someone should be checking on it or having it remade before it reaches the customer. We were hoping to add this restaurant to our list of regular dining spots, but based on this visit, it unfortunately didn't make the cut.

There's parking out front and the gentleman who works there was outside the front door sitting on a bench snacking (he welcomed us when we came in). They have your typical liquor store goods and make great use of small space. It was clean, easy to navigate, and right where we needed it to be when heading on to the island. I would definitely go back!

We were looking for somewhere for lunch and stumbled upon this place…read more There is inside and outside seating and the inside is dark with extremely high ceilings. The bar is large, with an amazing number of beer taps, many TVs and seating. We were quickly seated and given menus. The only thing I didn't like was that the beer menu has to be pulled up on your phone with a QR code. There are a lot of beers, and it would have been so much better to be able to view a whole menu and easily compare the choices. It was easier for me just to pick one of the first beers so I chose the Amber. Drinks were brought quickly and they gave us time to look at the menu. The Amber was good. There are plenty of appetizers, some salads, pizzas, handhelds and entrees. I ordered the Buffalo chicken sandwich with fries. Our food all arrived at the same time and was hot. My sandwich was super tasty and I loved the fries. Everyone liked their food. Service was good the entire time.
