    Strawberry matcha latte
    Avani P.

    Got my strawberry matcha fix here! Place is sit down cafe style as well, but I was able to also Judy order at the counter. Service was fast, despite being packed. And the drink was perfect!

    I love The Green Zebra at St. Armands Circle! We stop by whenever we're heading to the beach. It's the perfect place to grab a fresh, quick bite, whether we eat there or take it to go. The food is always fresh, and although it takes a little time to prepare, it's well worth the wait. Highly recommend the chicken pesto sandwich and a latte with mocha. The restaurant itself is adorable with a great ambiance and welcoming vibe. The staff is always very friendly. We used to be able to order online for pickup, but that option wasn't available this week. Still, it's a great spot we'll continue to return to again and again.

    Acai smoothie

    One of my favorite places to grab a bite to eat or a fresh smoothie. They have a wide variety of food and drink choices with vegan and gluten free options. Service is always quick and friendly, with inside and outside seating. I grabbed a raw pancake to go today, it's served cold gluten and dairy free with strawberries and banana and a cashew cream on top. Very delicious! It's located right by st. Armand's circle, it's a cute little cafe. Clean and neat with an earthy feel.

    Natural, Vegan, Veg and GF options. Seems family owned, not a chain. I had the chicken tacos which were very good. Everything tastes homemade, nothing fake or frozen. Very casual atmosphere.

    Bacon egg and cheese sandwich with sweet potatoes

    Cute little spot for a quick healthy lunch. We dined in and the service was efficient and friendly. Portions were big and delicious.

    Acai energy smoothie $11
    Rachel B.

    We came into Green Zebra for an iced latte and some smoothies after hitting the beach. The iced oat milk latte was fantastic! I honestly thought about getting a second one. It was $7, which I thought was steep but not surprising. We had the Lido Sunset and Açaí Energy smoothies. Each smoothie is $11, which is insane. But the smoothies were good and very refreshing after being in the sun. The service was fine. You order at the counter and wait for your food / drinks. Everyone was pleasant. One thing I didn't like was that when you walk in, there is a stand on the left where they place all the dirty dishes. So the first thing you see when you walk in are people's scraps and dirty plates. I think they could make it look more cleanly. Other than that, the decor is cute and green and has a lot of plants.

    If you looking for a delicious breakfast and a great price then this is your go to spot ! It was giving healthy with a splash of splurging without feeling bad ! Highly recommend

    May 27 2023, 3 for breakfast - My wife and daughter had been here for lunch and raved about this place. We had to stop in while walking around St. Armand's Circle. We had a very tough time picking what to order because the menu is extensive and has varied food and diet options. Not just something for everybody but something for anybody with a restriction or desire to avoid certain foods or methods. We ordered the Tofu scramble, the chicken pesto sandwich, and the Bella sandwich. In short ALL three were EXCELLENT. The place is clean and the food is awesome. I highly recommend the Green Zebra and we will definitely be back.

    Thank you "savor sarasota" for introducing le to an incredible hidden gem! RINGSIDE…read more I highly recommend this exciting new dining experience off Lido Beach - Ringside is/was a perfect 10 during our "savor sarasota" visit. From Jesse - the hostess with the "mostess", to Raven, our refreshing and outstanding server, to Scott, food & bev. mgr, who took the time to quality check our table....they really are passionate about a positive guest experience...OH, and lets "not" forget the exceptional entrees and desserts. A simply divine dining experience. !!! YUM !!! The bonus is the upscale cirque/circus theme and cheerful/whimsy decor througout. Both the main floor lobby lounge and restaurant offer beautiful beach and shoreline views through floor to ceiling windows. This just might be...the "Greatest Show On Earth"

    First, let me talk about the atmosphere. This restaurant is tucked away on the lower level of…read moreCirque St. Armands, and I had no idea it was even there. From the moment you walk into the hotel, the vibe is fantastic. Whomever designed the hotel (at least the lobby and restaurant- I can't speak for the hotel rooms) fully embraced the circus theme, but in a sophisticated, chic way. Think bright colors, bold patterns, and fun decorative touches throughout the space. The restaurant itself is beautifully designed. We sat in a semi-circular booth with drapes that could be closed for privacy, though we left them open since we were just enjoying a girls' lunch. For lunch, I ordered the fried fish tacos. The portions were on the smaller side, though I'm not sure if that's because it was lunchtime or if that's the standard serving size. There were three tacos, which ended up being plenty for me. The fish was cooked perfectly, and the pineapple chutney on top was absolutely delicious--just the right balance of sweet and salty flavors. The meal also came with a side of truffle fries, and honestly, I've never met a truffle fry I didn't like. Overall, the service was fantastic, the food was delicious, and the ambiance was outstanding. I'd like to go back to check out the dinner menu one evening. If I do, then I'll update because I'd sure like to give this place the 5 stars that I feel it almost earns.

I also ordered fresh jalapeños on the side along with coleslaw and it was the perfect trio. My wife ordered the chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries, and it was delectable as well.

    My wife and I visited this restaurant on Memorial Day for our anniversary because we were craving…read moretacos and wanted a nice rooftop dinner experience. Unfortunately, from the moment we arrived, the entire night was disappointing and honestly ruined what was supposed to be a special evening. When we got off the elevator at the rooftop entrance, there was no host or greeter anywhere in sight. The restaurant itself was dark, mostly empty, and only had one other family dining outside. We stood there awkwardly for several minutes before someone finally acknowledged us and said someone would be with us shortly. A woman eventually came out with menus, but never greeted us, smiled, introduced herself, or spoke beyond seating us. We then waited around 15 minutes just to place our order. There were no menu recommendations, no explanation of dishes, and no basic hospitality whatsoever. I specifically requested NO black beans on my meal. After an extremely long wait for food in a nearly empty restaurant, my plate arrived covered in black beans. I politely mentioned that I had asked for them to be removed, and instead of apologizing, the server responded with an annoyed "ugh, I told them," grabbed the plate aggressively, and walked away. I also asked about the cheese on the tostada because the menu simply said "cheese," which most people would reasonably assume means mozzarella, Mexican blend, queso fresco, etc. Instead, it came covered in crumbled feta cheese, which I do not eat. The server never mentioned it, never asked, and acted irritated when I brought it up. She made a nasty face, ignored me mid-conversation, and walked away. Meanwhile, my wife's food was terrible. Her shrimp tacos were bland and soggy, and the rice tasted like it had been overcooked in water until it turned into mush. While waiting for my corrected plate, I realized they never even brought my rice out at all. After another long wait, my "corrected" meal finally arrived - except instead of simply removing the black beans, they stripped almost everything off the dish. What I got back was basically dry tostadas with chicken and lettuce. No crema, no pico de gallo, no proper toppings, no effort. I tried to ignore it and gave it a chance, one bite only... but the food tasted like it had been cooked in old, dirty oil. The smell and flavor were so bad that I immediately lost my appetite. At that point, I politely told the server that we were just going to leave and asked for the bill. I wasn't asking for free food, discounts, or an argument - I simply wanted to pay and leave peacefully. Instead, she slammed the check down next to me with another attitude-filled expression and walked off. Because of her behavior, I didn't even feel comfortable handing her my card, so I went inside to pay directly with the manager. I calmly explained the situation and expected at least a little empathy or professionalism. Instead, the manager basically told me that if I didn't like the food or service, I should just leave -- "like he would do." That response alone told me everything I needed to know about how this restaurant operates. Not once did anyone apologize sincerely, attempt to fix the situation, offer a replacement, offer dessert, remove an item, or show any interest in customer service. Instead, the staff became defensive, argumentative, and confrontational. I told him that his server was rude and disrespectful as she sat there staring at me, hands on her hip, laughing sarcastically as I explained what happened. That same manager walked from behind the counter and approached me face-to-face aggressively, telling me that "I cannot call the food nasty and if I didn't like it, to pay and leave but to not argue with a woman" while the same woman server continued making comments from behind the counter: "how am I rude? How am I disrespectful? I didn't even talk" (that's my point!) What should have been a simple anniversary dinner turned into one of the worst dining experiences my wife and I have ever had. Terrible service, terrible food, rude staff, poor management, and absolutely zero accountability. We left hungry, frustrated, and shocked at how badly the situation was handled. Would not return and absolutely would not recommend.

    I chose this restaurant over other more popular places at St. Armands circle and I'm glad I did…read more Food was delicious, service was friendly, and decor serene and beautiful. The chef also came out and chatted with us at the end, even shared some advice with my teen daughter. I only have a few suggestions for improvement - maybe reduce the salt a bit on the wonton soup and the curry chicken, and let the mango mousse thaw in the fridge as it was frozen. I would definitely recommend this place for a delicious relaxing dinner.

    Stopped in during art fair on May 23. It was hot. We had a taste for butter Chicken. This…read morerestaurant did not disappoint! (Chat gpt did not know to recommend it for butter chicken in Sarasota, btw.) It is off on the end of one of the side spurs off the circle. I ordered mango salad and husband ordered butter chicken. We shared. Salad was very fresh, cucumbers and tomatoes were carefully seeded, lettuce cut in bite sized pieces and tamarind dressing was light and delicious. The butter chicken was sweet and unctuous, served as large chunks of mostly dark meat chicken that you cut up. It was fan-freaking-tastic. Waiter was so very friendly. He and his dad opened in November. Tan tan martini (vodka and guava) was made spirit forward per request and balanced out the mildly spiced, rich butter chicken. Dad is the chef. Dining room has big windows that look out on the street. White tablecloths are so welcome. It's cool and soothing inside. Much better than the loud places on the circle. Highly recommend this restaurant for lunch or dinner!
