    Avocado toast
    Melanie S.

    This is a great truck parked at the Bazaar at Apricot and Lime. They have a really nice set up in the courtyard with beer and wine and a seating area. I had the avocado toast - which was the fried brussles and balsamic, and asked for a side of pico for it, and the truffle fries. The toast was a nice size, with fresh avocado, feta, the fried sprouts and drizzle. I personally didn't love the brussles/avocado combo, but I liked them both separate so was still a happy camper. I ate my toast with the pico and then the fried brussles! They were very good! The fries were a huge serving, and they were like fair fries with truffle. So good! I pretty much go to the fair just for the fries, so hit up Hamlet's when it's not fair season. The soup of the day was curried lentil, and if I hadn't been flying home that day, I would have had some of that for later, it sounded so good and the vendors in the Bazaar said all of the Hamlet's soups are amazing. It took about 30 minutes for my food on a not super busy Friday, so be ready to be patient. I visited with one of the vendors for a while, and then after I ate, just hung out in the courtyard and enjoyed the live music until it was time to head for the airport!

    What a cute little tucked away gem! I visited Hamlet's Eatery for the first time for an event and I was blown away by the location, the staff, and the food! The food: I ate a breakfast burrito with chorizo and it was delicious. Very flavorful, excellent portion (not a small burrito!), it wasn't messy or falling apart - I really enjoyed it. The location: I don't spend much time in Sarasota, but even if I did, I'm not sure I would've noticed this little hidden treasure because it's located away from the "main strip" where most of the traffic would be directed. I'm so glad we had an event to attend here because I will definitely be going back - the outdoor space is so nice, especially for those nice, sunny Florida days. There was live music, the musicians were wonderful and they played/sang a large variety of music, it set a really lovely tone for the space. There's also a little Bazaar / Indie Market on location that is super adorable. It is much larger inside than I initially expected it to be - there are so many vendors selling beautiful art and all of their creations. I love a good market :) The staff: EVERYONE was so kind. I mean, everyone. Even the vendors inside of the Bazaar - it was such a pleasant experience. I will be back, and I'm bringing friends - everyone should be introduced to this cute little spot!

    Returned to enjoy both the food and ambiance- a unique experience in a good way. Support local businesses and artists. Pet friendly as well

    Amazing food and location. Definitely make a trip here, especially if it's a beautiful sunny day! The food truck is situated in this lot right next to a bazaar. On the lot, there are tables and patio furniture to relax and enjoy your meal. The customer service was top notch, everyone is very friendly. I ordered the egg sandwich on sourdough. Amazing! One of the best egg sandwiches I've ever had. The egg was perfectly cooked! The sandwich also had thick and crispy bacon and gooey cheese! The sourdough bread was nicely toasted and held the sandwich together well. That first bite was like heaven! They serve all fresh ingredients and the sandwich was reasonably priced. Next time I'm in Sarasota, I'll definitely be checking this place out again.

    Being that their motto is "To Meat or Not to Meat", Hamlet's Eatery is pretty much the perfect place for myself and my family. I'm a pescatarian and my husband is not, so this fun food truck caters to both of our needs. The meatless breakfast burrito served with sour cream homemade pico was extremely flavorful and can easily be customized to add more protein. The food truck is located in a spacious lot just adjacent to The Bazaar indie market so it's easy to picnic, stroll the vendor stands, and make an afternoon out of it.

    Food - phenomenal Service - outstanding Ambiance - eclectic/funky This is a gem: grab a bite to eat from Hamlet's eatery and enjoy the outdoor space and often live music. Then you can mosey into the little craft / small business shops and browse art, pottery, vintage jewelry, clothing, etc. i recommend the veggie / pesto sandwich!

    Absolute best sandwich I've had in years. Fresh, tasty and the flavors of the veggies with the toasted bread were VERY memorable.

    We came here for a #YelpTampaBay event. Everything we had was tasty and full of flavor. The panini was something I look forward to having again soon. Perfect amount of veggies and cheese...but the toasted bread it was on makes it a show stopper! PERFECTLY toasted (like I was after the Mimosas). I can't get over how every bite left me wanting more. When is the last time you had something that good? I was one bite away from the feeling my friend was going to have to roll me out of there. I really enjoyed the colorful outdoor atmosphere. We live in Florida and we really enjoy a good outdoor eatery with good shaded seating. You can actually make an afternoon of it here and do a little shopping at the attached Bazzar as well. Everything from a clothing boutique to candles to local artists on showcase. Everyone was happy and very helpful. Side notes: They offer a doggy day. You can bring your pup to mingle and you can enjoy a bite to eat as well. Check their site. Parking spots are plentiful. The menu allows for all options to be with meat or...not to meat. If that is the question, Hamlet's Eatery is the answer.

    A sign of greatness.

    I've had the pleasure of eating here twice now. Advise from the chef, "order what's on the board, this slop you can get anytime." ::gestures to menu:: So this time I ignored the menu and ordered from the board. There's no way to go wrong, you're going to get quality food, and if you're a vegan, there's no better option in sarasota!!

    I can sum up Hamlet's in one word: YUM! I've loved everything I've eaten at this amazing food truck. As a pescatarian, I love that they offer so many vegan and vegetarian options. I also love that I don't have to worry about their rice or soups having chicken stock. I've tried their grilled cheese with pesto, tomato soup, veggie soup, and breakfast burritos ($12 and I do real eggs with vegan sausage). The french fries that come with the grilled cheese and other entrees are stellar - thick cut, perfectly crispy, and delicious. Lunch or breakfast will run around $10-12 per person and is totally worth it.

    February 16, 2025 - 4 for lunch…read more We are long time members and this is my first time since all the renovations and work. First time to The Green Orchid. Perfect name! We had friends in from snowy cold NY / LI and this was one of the key stops with them during their stay. The place was pretty packed in season. No outdoor spots and we waited a few minutes for an indoor four top. Service was spectacular. The food was very good as we got a bunch of salads and light food entrees. There were a few cocktails as well for the wives. My salad was a lot of romaine but very spartan on edamame, onion, nuts or anything else. The green dressing was good. Clean as a hospital operating room!! Food was fresh and delightful. All the entrees we had were mid $25 range and with a beer at $8 and mixed drinks at $15 we zoomed up to about $42 per person or $174 for 4 people tax and gratuity. It was surely "tourist" and higher priced for a lunch. I picked up the tab for our guests and with the over 65 restaurants I have reviewed on Main Street and in Sarasota....... I am not sure this was so convenient and easy to be worth the cost/value for what you got? We might even walk the waterfront or head down Lemon or Pineapple and hit Main Street as an option next time? More friends in a few days and a few in March. The "boss" and social director will make the call.!!!

We sat outside where there were heaters, less noise, and viewing if the lights. Gigi was very attentive, and knowledgeable regarding the menu. We got some festive holiday drinks ( yummy). The coconut curry soup was light and delicious. The chicken saltimbaca was equally tasty, as was the blackened redfish sandwich. Reasonable prices.

    It's not easy to find vegetarian food in the South when you're hungry. Lila came to the rescue!…read more Downtown Sarasota parking can be tricky, but we found a parking structure with one hour free nearby. When we first entered, there was just one table occupied, it was early afternoon. The music was a bit too much for the setting. The environment was clean. But, it took 5 minutes or more for someone to come out and greet us. We went to the restroom and almost left, thinking they were closed. But, finally they noticed us. Thank goodness, because I had one of the best BLTAs of my life. The bread looked boring, but it was soft and the perfect blank slate for the seitan bacon, tomato, avocado, and mayo. Very tasty! My husband had the Tofu Rueben. The tofu was a thick slab and the faux corned beef idea would have been better as thin seitan slices. But, he still enjoyed it. Both came with a small salad of just lettuce. I enjoyed my meal (obviously) but I think they could improve their hospitality. Prices indicate a higher level of service. Maybe to go is best.

    This is definitely a place for foodies! I actually volunteered my time to the Cheff to be a taster…read moreand wash dishes for free so I could taste his creations. The food is Mondo Biondo with flavor. The great thing is anybody can eat here. It is billed as a vegetarian vegan place or plant base place actually but they have meat and fish on the menu. Just they're very careful about where they source their products. I brought two of my friends here that are very picky from the Midwest and they were in love with the place. It has a nice ambience, very clean, kind of industrial, but warm ceilings are very high, so even though it's a small place it does not feel small in the least. The Chef is amazing! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and customer service oriented. It is on one of the main streets in Sarasota and if you walk by, it may not look that interesting but I am telling you you are missing out on a truly exceptional food experience. Go here do not wait. It is definitely a place that makes your taste buds come alive..

    Going to Canvas Cafe is always a treat. The first time we went there it was a bit of an accident…read moreand we hear a rumor and decided to drop in. The place is supper small so it is still amazing to me we got a table. So make reservations! But ever since then we've had some pretty amazing dinners and discovered great wine at the Canvas Cafe. The last time I went, a couple of weeks ago, I had the lamb. It was perfectly cooked, earthy and beautiful. We also had the scallops which were such a different thing, so light and full of the ocean, you didn't want to share or trade bites between dishes because both were so good but so different. A long time favorite here is the gazpacho. This time we didn't have that and tried the goat cheese with tomato marmalade and one of the arugula salad creations. Both good, but the marmalade was a bit sweet. but loved how they caramelized the goat cheese. Don't be afraid to ask about a wine you have not heard of and listen to what they recommend. I have not gone wrong yet doing this at Canvas and have discovered some very nice things this way. Get something different here than your usual favorites. One of the things I love about this place is the menu changes about every 3-4 months and they are always trying out new wine. A good place to experience some creative and well done food. Not everything is a hit out of the ball park, but I've had some very memorable meals at Canvas. Service is always very good and I have never felt rushed out. If I want to sit and enjoy the wine, they don't try to run you off to turn over the table. Very relaxing and a nice place to slow down. You owe it to yourself to call them, make a reservation and enjoy sitting on their deck before it is too hot to eat outside. You won't be sorry.
