I got the side size and it was perfect but comes in a very small bowl making it hard to eat. If you get the side size, strongly suggest asking them to put it on a plate. The entree size actually looks the same amount of salad, but on a normal size dish. The blackened shrimp was cooked perfectly and the berry vinaigrette was amazing. It does have a pub feel so keep that in mind when going. It also gets very crowded so I suggest going at an "off" peak time if you want to try it.

Compliments to the chef since my salmon was cooked perfectly. All six of us enjoyed everything.

Oh one last thing...I knocked over my dirty martini (yikes) and our waitress replaced it w/o charging...I greatly appreciated that.

I've visited 99 Bottles several times for their Bagel Brunch and it never disappoints. The wine &…read morebeer bar is beautifully decorated and sits in a great location--just far enough from the noisy, busy downtown area, allowing you to feel relaxed, yet still convenient, with plenty of public parking nearby. They have a nice outdoor umbrella seating area plus high bar stools inside. The bagels are the real deal--legit New York bagels delivered from New York. Their mimosas are the best I've had anywhere in Sarasota. There's a wonderful variety for bagel lovers: excellent cream cheeses, the bagel with wild smoked salmon, and the classic bacon, egg & cheese (among many other options). Whatever breakfast craving you have, they've got something to satisfy it. The staff is super friendly and helpful--just a really nice group of guys. Highly recommend!

Amazing place in Lakewood Ranch! I'm so happy to have a great brewery/restaurant close to home…read morejust like what I was used to where I moved from years ago. Great food, awesome beer selection, and love the vibe! Had the dry rub wings today along with a couple hazy's. Excellent! For those posting negative reviews, I urge you to give them another shot. We were there the night they reopened after Hurricane Milton, as it seems were half Lakewood Ranch! It's an understatement to say they were slammed! They were doing the best they could given the circumstances. Yet there was a table close to us that found fault. Give it a friggin rest people! Everyone is entitled to have an "off day", especially after a Cat 4 hurricane rips through your area! Inner Compass didn't have to reopen as quickly as they did. But they did anyway because they were serving a real need. If people don't see that, then that's on them! I've never had a bad meal there. Yes, occasionally service is slow or less attentive but if you look at the wider picture of what's happening in the moment, there's a real, legitimate reason. People, don't just get stuck in your own bubble and actually take time to observe what's going on around you! In the meantime, I plan to go to Inner Compass as often as I can for my ICB Beer Cheese Burgers and Hazy Boys!

Just beer no food(I showed up late) The table decided to move into the bar area after the meal around 20 mins later after we had already closed all table bills. At the bar ,One gentleman in the group ordered 3 beers and pays cash. The red headed waitress then came over to the bar area after about another 15 mins had passed and said she didn't charge me so she placed a $24 tab to pay. I payed confusingly. As The Bar was closing the group left but before I left the parking lot I checked my banking statements. I Saw the double charge. Walked back in and told them there was a mistake. Their response was "our mistake. Let's correct it." Sound good so far, I even went as far as saying the 24$ tab was the mistake because the time stamp on the processing but the waitress came over and deliberately chose the higher amount to charge me because the tip was higher for her cash out. Smh. I really did like the vibes but that experience is very telling on morals and values. Really did enjoy the beers too..sad.

The brewery is beautiful--inviting, relaxed, and the kind of spot where you immediately want to settle in for another round. Then came the IPAs. We sampled them all, and every pint told a different story. One crashed over you like a salty Gulf Coast wave, bold and full of energy. Another unfolded like a peaceful walk through a pine forest, layered with earthy bitterness and just the right touch of sweetness. No two tasted alike, and that's exactly what made the experience so much fun. The biggest surprise? Every IPA was memorable. We expected good. We found outstanding. Meeting the brewmaster was the icing on the cake. Learning he's a fellow Stone Brewing fan made for a great conversation, and you can taste the passion and creativity in every glass. To everyone at Calusa Brewing--high fives all around. You made fans out of us, and we can't wait to come back for another flight.

We got visited by a friendly(?) local gator which was fun. Tough to find parking nearby so recommend parking wherever you can and walking over. We didn't try a lot of their beers but what we did try was fine but nothing that we thought was memorable. And if you're a brewery, your beers have to standout. It probably is a 3.5 star location. Good for families. Good for spending a good chunk of time in this area. Not necessarily a destination.

Very pleasant, right on the lake with a great view. It was quite windy today, so we sat inside at the bar. Kayla was our Bartender. What a cheerful young lady. Very personable and attentive. As a Brewery, they offer a pretty good selection of beers, along with a full bar. Today, they were out of their Amber, so I ordered their Kolsch. Quite tasty. For food, we ordered the fish-n-chips to share. We weren't very hungry and this was perfect portion to share. AND, it was one of the best fish -n-chips we've had in a long time. Not at all greasy, firm fish and the fries were over the top !! Crispy outside and soft, fluffy inside. Coleslaw was flavorful with a lean towards vinegar, Not heavy mayo like in some places. Very tasty. We enjoyed ourselves and would definitely stop again the next time we are close to that area.
