Five star experience from start to finish, great recommendations from the server and all proves to be fantastic. We started with wuevos rancheros, ordered a croissant sandwich with egg cheddar, bacon, avocado, and sprouts, and also a blackened chicken salad. The food is fantastic and it was so good that we ordered a second plate of the rancheros. Thank you for being such a beacon of joy Tracy and thank you for the incredible meal. We will be back anytime we come back to siesta keys. It's off the beaten path, so make sure that you find this hidden gem best meal for sure

The Myakka was eggs benedict sausage patties, tomato, on a grilled biscuit and smothered in sausage gravy. The Max's Bliscuit was a huge buttermilk biscuit, two eggs, cheese, and bacon..the eggs were ordered over-easy but I think that they were just a bit passed that point but Terri said that it was still very good. It's a very bright and friendly decor inside and out...definitely one of our favorite places in Siesta Key Village!

Our server was an older woman and not sure if she was having a bad day or what, but it showed. We had coffee, a cappuccino (that they charged as a double), Americano, but no french coffee -nothing made with a french press. Yes they have crepes but no beignets nor anything similar. (Thought they were french‍) anyway hubby had decent meal and mine needed mustard and there was none, not even grey poupon lol there was no mustard in the entire restaurant. Like wth?! Oh well they're French in name only. Oh and watch your bill, they over billed two teens on their meal and luckily one of them was smart enough to review his receipt and "she apologized" and they charged me a double when I didn't ask for it and it was definitely not a double espresso, so review before you pay.

Visited on Dec 27 for a late brunch. The place was understaffed and waitress seemed disengaged and…read moreuninterested. The food took a long time to arrive and she never acknowledged the delay. Another, much friendlier waitress did apologize, which we appreciated. We waited too long for the check, even though the restaurant was nearly empty and our waitress was chatting with staff. I have worked in busy restaurants myself, so this level of inattentiveness is not excusable. The food was mediocre and there are plenty of better, healthier options in Sarasota. Several tables were left uncleared for an excessive amount of time, and when we were seated, our table was still unpleasantly wet from cleaning.

We were in and out in no time, the Waffle was light and fluffy as it should be and the Mango added a nice touch along with the whip cream...did not need any heavy syrup at all. The Omletet was very cheesy and cooked perfectly as well....I'd have added ketchup but got the side-eye for suggesting it. Highly recommend making this a stop if you're in the area! We were in and out in no time as the service from Juana was excellent. The ambiance is bright and very much " mango-themed"...a fun spot for breakfast or lunch!

They seem to wait on tables as a group so no one really checks in during breakfast. One person seats you and gets drinks, one person takes your order and another person delivers food with the check... but no one typically checks if you need drinks, condiments, etc. we didn't have any refills on today's visit and the table next to us I guess didn't drop off the check with food so they waited 30'minutes before going up to the bar and finding someone to hunt down a check.

It was very good-hot with a shake of cinnamon on a good froth. I went with the special homemade corned beef hash with potatoes and two eggs on top. Served with marbled rye toast.

Best way to start your day Terri's famous cinnamon roll 10/10: Sweet but not sickly sweet. I was licking up the icing when I had finished because it was that good. There was some cheesecake flavor component to it. Griddle flight- strawberry Nutella, Boston crème, butternut pecan 7/10: Strawberry Nutella is a classic that you can't go wrong with.

First off everything is better in off season. Everyone seems a little bit more relaxed there's no traffic the servers and staff are happy there are places to park. Our server was a tad pregnant and as sweet as sugar. She helped us out with coffee of course and plenty of water it wasn't too hot so we sat outside. I ordered my usual which is eggs sausage toaster English muffin and some fruit. My wife got fruit and English muffin and some bacon. I don't know if breakfast tastes better on vacation but this one sure did it was fantastic. We did leave room for a cinnamon roll I wasn't prepared for the size or the scope of how big the cinnamon roll was. If you can imagine the size of a newborn's head being a cinnamon roll that's pretty much what this was. We both were able to take a bite but we're pretty much full up after three cups of coffee so we took the cinnamon roll home and had it later on that evening for dessert. The place is clean it's run well the manager was on site and I love it when the locals come in because they know where to go when the food is proper. Well I can't imagine the nightmare it would be trying to get breakfast during the high season I'm sure these guys can keep up but it was a really awesome dining experience and I enjoyed it will return

After a relaxing day at Siesta Key beach, we stopped at The Cottage for lunch. I cannot say enough…read moregreat things about this restaurant. It's got a relaxing beach vibe with outside seating and a nice patio in the back with enough shade. I could tell that they host nightly entertainment here with a small stage. For lunch, I ordered the lobster maki roll. I'm not a big sushi fan, but I was intrigued. This lobster roll was one of the best sushi rolls I've had in a long time. Also ordered include the blackened grouper sandwich, billionaire burger, and tempura shrimp appetizer. Our group loved every entree. The cocktails were also refreshing. I really loved my jalapeño watermelon margarita. Our server was wonderful - very friendly and quick service. Definitely an enjoyable lunch or dinner spot!

We booked this place via OpenTable since it received great reviews. We ended up parking next door…read moresince parking was a bit hard to navigate. The parking place had ample parking where you needed a mobile app to pay for your parking. There was a larger souvenir store there if you needed to kill time before your seating. Once it was our time for our dinner reservations, we were greeted and seated at our table. Our waitress was a bit sarcastic or had a witty comments that didn't sit well with my kids. When ordering our foods, the kids asked what type of drinks they had since it was not listed on the menu. She said Coke but didn't elaborate that they had Coke products. Since she said Coke so fast our daughter didn't hear the response and asked her the question again where she just said that's a great question and ignored her and moved on. Food wise - we had the Peruvian ceviche, Peruvian chicken, I think I had a special grouper dish. The food was good. We were able to eat everything and the kids enjoyed their kids burger meals. Outside of the waitress comments, the place placed nice modern music to listen to and had the basketballs games playing on the tv at the bar.

It moved fast, and the staff runs that place like a well-oiled machine. Everyone knows their role, orders are flying out, and the energy is fun without feeling chaotic. I went with a green kale smoothie and a hot café con leche. The smoothie was probably the best one I've had in years tons of flavor, perfectly blended, and not that overpowering "I'm drinking straight kale" taste. Just smooth, fresh, and balanced. My go-to coffee order is a hot café con leche, and this one hit the spot. Rich, smooth, and exactly what I was hoping for. I'll definitely be coming back for more. One thing I really liked is the setup. After you get your coffee, you can walk around to the back and hang out. The front entrance of the bar is gated off, which keeps things quieter and more relaxed. It's a great little escape from the busier street vibe. I'm planning on stopping here every morning while I'm in Siesta Key. If you see a line get in it. It's worth it.

What a gem for breakfast!…read more I visited two days in a row, and both experiences were amazing but the second visit completely won me over. On day one, I had the eggs Benedict and the ricotta pancakes both were absolutely delicious. The pancakes were light, fluffy, and so flavorful. But day two? That's when I fell in love. I ordered the shrimp and grits along with the crunchy French toast... and wow. Easily the best I've ever had. I've tried shrimp and grits and French toast at plenty of places, but nothing compares everything was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. Such a great experience and an unforgettable meal. Huge thank you to the chef for making the start of my birthday week so special
