    Salmon undercooked
    Thomas L.

    September 8 2023 - 2 for dinner before the theatre. I believe Neat is operating under a "soft opening" so my review here should be considered preliminary, informative, information to management and 100% likely to be remediated and updated when we go back in the coming months. We liked Neat A LOT. but have to give their 'paper back' to be resubmitted for a better grade as not complete!!! (wink) Clearly working out the kinks of personnel, the bar, kitchen timing/preparation/cooking and things like place settings, glassware qty and coordination. The place was almost packed when we arrived ~ 6:30 pm on a Friday. Bar was full and folks standing and chatting. The conversation noise was heard outside as we approached and thought a wedding reception was going on inside!!! (smile) On this note, the interior is nicely lighted however concrete walls, hard surfaces, flat panel ceiling lacquered tiles and metal applique in the bar area and a lot of glass and solid floor - it was fairly loud and needs some sound deadening wall panels, acoustic ceiling tiles and maybe even acrylic wall dividers. This large rush of folks we later found out had consumed all martini glasses so my wife got hers in a flute then a tumbler.... No utensils or napkins on our table and in between courses our second set of forks/knives were not really rinsed. (I think hand washed for speed and dripped dry in a rack etc.) The staff is attentive but like actors on the first night a little tentative and 'nervous' . ALL OF THIS is fixable and will likely be. We made a reservation and were at first offered a 4 top 1/2 booth in the dining room but a few herniated discs I have finally recovered from have me avoid booth seating. We eventually were put at a very unfortunately placed four top where 100% of the kitchen traffic and 100% of the dining room passes by being between the bar and the dining room it was the epicenter of the conversation noise and traffic. Menu will likely be changing wildly and we made suggestions about more vegetarian or vegan/WFPB options or ingredients. Stay tuned and keep an eye out on their website I suspect..... or stop on in!!! My wife had the martini and she said it was pretty good. Our portabella mushroom appetizer was also VERY nicely done and awesome fresh ingredients and flavoring/spices!!! Tasty. I got the Beyond Burger and sweet potato fries. The burger was cooked properly (I am not a fan of this product and would have like a homemade or good quality bean burger) the gluten free bun was ok in that category but a sourdough or rye or other non gluten natural product also better. My wife got the bourbon salmon. This was a very nice fresh piece of fish and it was prepared with a yellow rice that was also nice. The fish was prepared and seasoned very nicely and this had all the making of a great entrée. Unfortunately the inexperience or the timing and kitchen workflow on the grill/kitchen it was not medium well or medium rare or whatever cooking intention.......it was 80% raw in the middle. My wife ate the exterior to sample and for us to evaluate the taste but we refused this entrée. (we had to get going for a show so a re-do or alternative was not an option and it was adjusted off the bill). So I am not rating the individual entrée here as I felt this would be premature and they are not officially open for a few more weeks. We met the owners who came independently both came to the table, our waitstaff and especially our server Reid was exceptional and it seemed experienced and hugely interested in our feedback, impressions, and making any and all adjustments. We will return in a month or more and I can EASILY see this rating popping up a notch or two - the ingredients are there. Its just timing and people and process!!!!

    Worst service in my life. 20 ladies came for Happy Hour (which we gave notice 3 times that we were coming) and it took 2 hours and 35 minutes to get a drink and small meals. The waitress begged for forgiveness saying "please forgive me, there are 20 of you and one of me" as the manager sat in the back viewing her phone and sipping a soft drink. Owner take heed. Here are pics of your empty dining room, 20 customers waiting 2hr 35 min for service, and your manager only hopping up when she saw the flash of my camera. We threw money down of what we think we might have owed and left. Good luck Neat.

    What a gorgeous space! Food is not to be missed. Service is friendly, attentive, engaging and knowledgeable. We will be back regularly! Can't wait to return for happy hour!

    I am so sorry to write such a bad review of Neat. However, my 7 friends and I booked a table on St. Patty's night at 7P with the understanding that there would be corned beef and cabbage on the menu in addition to an Irish Band. I called to confirm this and the nice girl on the phone confirmed. We arrived promptly at 7P. There was country music playing most of the night til we requested Irish music. It turned out to be crazy........first we were told that they were out of corned beef, then told by the Mgr. after voicing our displeasure that they did have corned but we would have to wait awhile til it was ready. Since everyone was hungry at that point (8:30!!!) we ordered something else. The server told us that they then had corned beef. So, I changed my order to corned beef. This picture shows how it came out of the kitchen and presented to me. I am Irish and even if I were not, anyone knows you do not serve it this way without carrots and mashed potatoes and sliced properly. It was in chopped up bite sized pieces and most of them were not done and almost raw. When the Mgr came to check on things, I complained......he said nothing, left our table and wandered off to patrons seated at the bar. Never came back. We paid our checks and left at approx 9:15P!! Pitiful. I cannot give Neat a rating when there was so much wrong. The dining section was not even half filled.....now we know why. Never again!

    Cheeseburger and delic beyond burger. Bun was yummy with butter I assume, but messy!

    We went for Happy Hour and it exceeded our expectations. Drinks, food, and service were all great. Plus, the ambiance is inviting.

    There's a floral pop up event of some sort going on The food…read morewas great! And the drinks were unique and tasted even better! The charcuterie was like a dream, and the Popsicle champagne drink wasn't too shabby! The service was good, and it wasn't too busy when I went. There's definitely photo ops for days for all my fellow content creators! The manger was friendly as well, and was nice enough to check in on all the guests here and there. Will def come back soon!

    Would we return? Maybe…read more We tried Wink Wink before a symphony at Van Wezel two evenings ago. The menu - though not expansive - offered a fish, a steak, a chicken, a pasta, a burger, wagyu meatloaf, salads and several other options, appetizers, a full bar & wine. The four of us were very pleased with the food, service - and live music (guitar/singer was excellent). Overall experience, 4.8 stars out of 5. For that, we'd definitely return. However - the parking experience was a fiasco. Given this was our first visit, my husband circled the hotel/restaurant twice as the clogged pull-in area was full and there was no valet in sight. Also / no signage to direct us. Finally - my husband opted to pull into a reserved lot behind the hotel/restaurant and temporarily parked as I sought someone to direct us.... I walked past the valet "station" - nobody there (perhaps busy with other guests) and I headed to the restaurant to request assistance with parking. My husband followed shortly as he found the valet and asked if ok to leave the car - the male valet handed us a parking placard and said he'd take care of it, no problem. Ten minutes later a young lady valet approached our table - telling us she dug thru my glovebox to find us - asking if we realized she could have us towed. Beyond rude. We attempted to tell her the other valet had checked us in - but she continued down a shaming diatribe at our table - telling us how folks park back there illegally, etc. When we asked to speak to a manager, the young lady valet informed us that her company was a third party and she was not employed by the restaurant so our dissatisfaction with her rude & threatening behavior was nothing the hotel or restaurant manager could do anything about.... Eventually she walked away /her nasty attitude intact - and the male valet squared things so we could enjoy a lovely dinner. When exiting, no valet in sight again, we waited at the pull-in area where two other couples stood next to cars asking us where they were supposed to park or find the valet. Another couple were standing next to their car asking where the valets went, waiting for their keys to depart. Fiasco. Time for a better valet system! So Wink Wink gets a 5 but the valet is a big negative. We live here year round and there are too many options in Sarasota to deal with a valet threatening to tow us at our dining table.
