Waiting over 2 weeks to do this review leaves me at a loss, as I can't remember exactly what was ordered, even when looking at the menus and my photos, but the fish was fresh, delicious, correctly prepared and just delicious. I ordered off the regular menu, but there is a prix fixe menu as well.

The courtyard has heaters for those who prefer dining Al fresco The restaurant is a popular Sarasota venue offering numerous choices, always nicely presented. George and Jeff have a winning formula. I chose a Caesar salad and duck entree . My duck was moist and cooked to perfection. For dessert I had the tres leches- wonderful. This restaurant always delivers ergo, that's why it is always busy.

I wouldn't recommend it if you're really hungry. The flatbread pizza and the cheese appetizer were good. We could have ordered a second plate of pork tacos because they were tasty.

All of the drinks are great and interesting (shout out to Diors, the bartender!). For apps, we had the mussels, bread service, and duck wings. Do not skip the duck wings - they were a great portion, the meat fell off the bone, and the flavor was phenomenal! For dinner, the group ordered the ribeye, shrimp and grits, chicken sandwich, pork ragu, and fish sandwich. The crowd favorites were the fish sandwich, chicken sandwich, and shrimp and grits. Great spot in downtown Sarasota!

They drinks were remade but unfortunately the taste didn't move very much from its original state, perhaps that's how the Spritz tastes? The pork ragú this time was missing that je ne sais quoi. Perhaps a change in recipe? The server too, they were missing that dazzle that Connor had provided and fell flat with her personality. All in all, the experience wasn't as illustrious as the first go around. Previous Experience: From the door being opened for us, to the moment we walked out, the experience at State Street was celestial. The libations were on point and I thoroughly enjoyed two orders of the Holla Peña, it had a wicked nice kick! Their fresh, homemade bread was excellent and served with a nice side of salted butter. My date took the special. The filet with the dauphine pommes and enjoyed it very much. She couldn't stop smiling. I had the Pork Ragu and I'll say...it is something I'll fantasize about for sometime to come. LOL It was CHOICE. Our server Connor was so polite, timely, knew how to read cues and overall made it the best experience out dining in a while. It's all how you take care of patrons with pacing and knowing your menu. He also had some friendly recommendations for the rest of our date and couldn't have asked for better time. We will be back.

They have easy counter service where you order at the counter and they give you a number. The service was helpful and quick.

I will say "my fault" for not knowing (aka not hearing) that one of the rules is that the guy with the microphone does not repeat questions. Hard to play trivia when you can't hear the question, rule or not. Between the ambient noise, the squeaky microphone and the guy's high-pitched voice - it was impossible to hear. But rules are rules - except for the table next to us who asked and received repeated questions. When I asked for him to repeat a question he screamed "No!" Shocked, I called him a d*ck- because that's the way he was acting. I'm sticking to it. Happy to never go back there, trivia night or not. Too many other things I can do where I'm around grown ups. I'm sure he's happy too- fine by me. What an a**hole.
