Guys!!!!!! I always recommend takeout from your restaurant for my school counselor's at Riverview high school. Today we ordered lunch for probably 15 staff members. When our staff went to get it, & they had to wait over one hour to pick up our order. Then one counselor received no food at all, one is a vegetarian and her wrap had chicken in it which made her sick. One had no drink and one had no smoothie. This was extremely disappointing as we were celebrating 'School Counselor's Week' if you know a school counselor, we work so hard and because we are not teachers, we are not always celebrated out loud. I really was so embarrassed to have recommended you to everyone. ;(

Not as healthy as it seems unfortunately. All of their dressings contain seed oils and other harmful ingredients, as well as the oil that all the protein and warm food that it's cooked in (Sunflower blend - meaning Canola oil, vegetable oil, sunflower etc. also generally the food lacks flavor.

Exactly what it says.... SO FRESH. When craving something healthy, light and fresh, this is your pit stop. Service was welcoming and speedy in preparing. Atmosphere was light, airy and clean.

They have tons of options to choose from. I enjoyed the bowl. I added the house made siracha for spice and it was delicious as well. Will definitely return to try out other menu items!

This has to be THE best tzatziki sauce in the area! (Sorry, Honey Tree Cafe & Eleni's Pizza Works) And if you have the chance, you must try their Balsamic dressing! Such a delicious lunch spot in a very convenient location! Close enough for takeout & delivery for those of us working in the industrial area of North Sarasota. Ordering online or via SoFresh app is a breeze and all the meals are highly customizable. Like seriously, so many choices! All fresh and nutritious, plus vegan and vegetarian options. I've ordered delivery and also grabbed takeout several times- staff is always super friendly, and my order is ready within 10-15 minutes. read more

Drinks very reasonable and decent volume/quantity/pour. A buck for my soda water with lemon..... a bargain for the driver and non-drinker! The boss got 10 wings, 1/2 parm cheese and 1/2 barbecue. The reputation is best wings in Sarasota??? She like flats only and we paid $1 for just flats. This was a very nice option as I the whole food plant based "spartan vegan" will usually cringe at leaving those drums behind or wasted??? I did try one of each though. I believe they are baked and then before serving deep fried to crisp them up and heat them. Sadly the barbecued ones where burnt (see picture) and a little too crisped. The meat and most of the wing and the flavor was pretty good. 5/10 The parm wings where actually the opposite and the meat and wing undercooked, but the deep fry dunking crisped up the skin which would have been really raw and rubbery. These were also seasoned nicely and tasty. 8/10 Both easily fantastic with attention to pre-cooking and cooking? I got the Cup o' Spuds (sweet potato) in a little basket. These were pretty deeply fried and a few blackened/burnt but were nice and hot and flavorful and couple burned gave it some character and was a big deal. The menu is very limited for whole food plant based, vegetarian, vegan, nutritarian mix and match or anything....... so went with one of the three salads. the Side Salad I got an entree size. Romaine, diced tomatoes, cucumbers and black olives and a balsamic. My server missed my point after the second ask about adding "protein". I would have LOVED to have seen some black, pinto, kidney, navy, garbanzo, or any kind of BEANS to add to this salad as a "PROTEIN" or a quinoa, or even scoop of rice or edamame or even a few chunks of toasted or grilled tofu!!!! The salad ingredients were fresh and a nice amount of each. Dressing good but I only used a little since I thought I had asked for Balsamic Vinegar (no oil) and this was a Balsamic "Dressing" with actually quite a bit of oil. Service by "Nightime Bar B" was very attentive and friendly. REALLY good! Fielded our myriad of questions and we were never wanting or waiting. We had a long discussion about the wings which is why my wife wanted to go here. Maybe I should have put this first.......but the pricing was EXTREMELY reasonable especially for Main Street and I guess technically IN Season? The drinks about $12 for a Cosmo, Tito and club $10 ? Tax, tags, tip at 20% plus and we got out under $70 for two!!! VERY nice! Good spot. We will be back!!! As we have just about completed the Mainstreet and City of Sarasota circuit these guys are in the "rotation" for a before cabaret or full production play at the FST.

We had about a 30 minute wait for first available table. We sat at the bar & each had a drink. The drinks were good, but nothing special. We were seated outside in a screened in porch.

DH ordered the Blackened Scamp with Smashed Parsley Potatoes and Black Eyed Peas. He was extremely happy with his meal. He said the Scamp was cooked to perfection and seasoning was a compliment to the flavor of the fish. The mashed and peas were delicious too. His plate was clean when he was done. For me, I was happy with my selection of seared Tile fish. I had never heard of Tile fish so I didn't know what to expect. It was wonderful. Flaky and seasoned just right.

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.

So I thought I HAD to give it a second visit and see if my first time was just a lucky chance. Well, I went today for brunch and experienced another 5 star meal. Since it was as great a meal today, I'll comment on behalf of both. Greeted IMMEDIATELY upon entering the restaurant by a friendly up beat employee. The restaurant was very clean and seemed to be operating at a smooth pace. We were led to our table and handed our menus. Our server was with us almost immediately, smiling and greeting us to the restaurant. Menus were handed out and our questions were answered. We had 5 people in our party and ordered 4 blackberry Bellinis and I had a coffee old fashioned. We ALL raved about our drinks and after a few more questions, we ordered our meals: Crab Cake Benedict, Smoked Salmon Benedict, Chicken Sandwich and a Philly Steak Sandwich. All I can say is that EVERY plate was EMPTY! We ALL LOVED our food! It was hot, fresh tasting and delicious flavors. Even the fries were hot, crisp, fresh and seasoned perfectly. Forgot, Two of our party members ordered the wild mushroom torte, and...NOTHING left on the plate!! Our food was so awesome that we had to try 2 desserts: Vanilla Bean Crème Brûlée and the Carrot Cake and yes...they were demolished and joined the 'Clean Plate Club'!!!!!

It's probably a matter of taste and batch because we found one of the less briny ones very briny, but all were small and yummy. Calamari as an appetizer was delicious. The clams casino were just OK and the octopus was very tasty and tender. The lobster and risotto were both average at best. The risotto was underdone (not enough complain about) but enough that the dish wasn't delicious. The crabcake was exceptionally good - all crab very little if any filler, and perfectly cooked. The fish dish, which I don't remember the name of, came out in a very tomatoey sauce, and it was supposed to be more of a New Orleans style. It was tasty and the fish was tender. It was just the sauce was surprising - just too much tomato. Cocktails were fantastic and probably a high point at the beginning of the evening! All in all good, but not a reason to journey as far as we had to travel to get there

Both were well made and hot when opened. After that I was a little disappointed. I've eaten Cuban sandwiches in many places in Florida. This tasted different than most. Not bad, just not traditional. Whatever mustard they used was odd to me. It had a sweetness to it that I've never encountered on a Cuban. Same thing with the Reuben. I LOVE Rebens and I've eaten them at all the famous NY Delis. This was a little bland and not made in a traditional style. Some restaurants try to be "different" but when it comes to sandwiches, I want what my taste buds are expecting, not something new and different. Wish you lots of luck. I'll be in to try again.
