Pure laziness by the workers. She didn't take the time to blend my smoothie properly.

I was staying in the area and wanted a smoothie. This place is located in a newer strip mall with a ton of great shops so you could be shopping and want something quick; so it's handy location is very convenient. I got the 'Island Green' (spinach, kale, mango, pineapple, & banana) and Detox Island Green (spinach, kale, mango, pineapple, banana & fresh ginger) for the next day. I didn't add any additional mix-ins like protein powder, etc. It was about $6.50 plus tax for each one. It was crowded so I able to get in and out fast. I easily parked in the lot in front of the store. They are opened until 7am- 9pm.

Guy behind the counter made a point of showing us the reward you can get from taking the survey on the receipt, which was really thoughtful. Good smoothies! Some of them are packed full of sugar so choose wisely.

The worst smoothie I've had from Tropical Smoothie. I usually love them but this location was not good. The 2 smoothies I ordered were so watered down. Would not recommend.

This place is awesome. They have great smoothies! The manager Adam and staff are super friendly!! Bring your family, your work meeting, or yourself. Choice of salads, wraps, bowls, and fresh smoothies! Very clean restaurant and fresh as can be!! The manager says they cater if you need.

I got the beach bum and it was awesome!! Davi was amazing!!! It got busy and she did an amazing job getting the drinks out quickly and effectively!!! Will be coming back!

My name on the paper that was on my sandwich.....

Normally I am very happy with the staff, the service and the food. I didn't get my points - scanned twice and didn't work, but visit was 12/28. I had to give Beatrice my name and spelling THREE times, to the point she's leaning over in my face past the register and chomping on her gum in my face. (She did finally get it in the system correctly because it was on receipt.) The lady doing the smoothie didn't have on gloves and was putting the palm of her hand on the tops to push the plastic on, scooping out ice and picking up the handles for the food after just scratching her head near the food....ughhhhh I waited a while (15") for my sandwich and he finally asked me if I had the chicken flatbread and I said yes. He fussed at me saying, well, there was no name on it. I said yes, there was; I gave it to her 3 times! And he hollered at me again, there was no name (check bag, name is on receipt and bag???? The whole staff was rude, slow, and I was so disgusted by the no gloves and scratching her head, whatever her name was, that this regular (3-4 times a week because I work in the plaza) will be eating somewhere else.

I met my friend who told me the avocado salmon bowl is fantastic, so that's what I got (sans the feta). And she was right - it was really, really good and fresh tasting. I can't say there was anything super 'special' about it, if that makes sense, but rather just delicious and the salmon was cooked really nice (not overdone!). I think this is why I'm giving it four stars instead of five. Also, I think it was $26 which seemed a tad over-priced especially for a smaller cut of salmon. Again, a solid four stars for that as well. I would definitely come back and try some other things. It would be a great space to get some work done, or do a meeting. Very impressed!

Lunch today was a VERY pleasant surprise. I found Al Forno on Yelp, we were interested in finding…read morea good Shwarma sandwich place in the Sarasota area (we eat them a lot in NYC), but had, we'll say, "moderate" expectations. The storefront is nothing special at all, you order from a big tablet screen and then they have standard fast-casual seating. It doesn't look fancy at all and the restroom situation is weird (you have to go outside through a back alley for the men's restroom?). The workers were nice but I was only hoping for "solid" food. Then I took my first bite of the mixed-shwarma sandwich, and it was sublime. Perfectly cooked and well seasoned tender meat, they press the pita with just the right amount of salad/pickles, so the pita is crunchy and the meat isn't overwhelmed with too much salad like so often happens. Their house fries were spiced deliciously and fried fresh (which makes us want to try the Falafel, which we also saw them frying fresh). The food was *fantastic*, making it one of those diamond-in-the-rough places that you'd never guess had such good food. We're looking forward to going back and trying more on the menu, highly recommend if you're near UTC mall.

The food was solid, your typical Mediterranean cuisine but I will say it's a bit on the pricey side if you're just trying to grab a quick lunch. The tabbouleh parsley was chopped a bit larger than I personally prefer. I usually like it more finely chopped, but it was still fresh and enjoyable. Service was quick and the food came out fast, which I appreciated. There's limited seating inside, so it seems like it's set up more for takeout than dining in. Overall, a good spot. Just keep the pricing and seating in mind depending on what you're looking for.

I really want to like this place, because I love good old fashioned roast beef sandwiches from around this great country, and nostalgic establishments, but this has me thinking what went wrong. I'm on the fence for a few reasons; 1st off our onion rings were bland, no good crunchy coating and slightly undercooked, the roast beef was a good quality meat I guess but bland and cold??? The bread was tasty but the cheese was not melted and the thinnest slice of cheese I've ever seen on a restaurant sandwich, maybe not melted due to the cold roast beef. I really feel there is potential with this sandwich, maybe by adding a sauce and asking for it to be warm, I'm puzzled, remember no suggestions were given when I asked. My guest had the fish and chips, he said it was bland and the batter was dry and dull. If you want vinegar you must ask they are not going to offer it. I personally like the place itself , I like the clean casual look for a no frills afternoon lunch vibe, but I must say the staff lacked energy, they were not informative about how to order, did not ask if we needed anything else etc etc. I think this restaurant needs some tweaking. I am not giving up on the roast beef sandwich or Kelly's just yet. I will be back to try again for good measure, for I really want this place to work so I can enjoy a good roast beef sandwich other than Arby's.

I highly recommend sharing plates so you can enjoy more than one dish…read more My favorites have been the Brussel sprouts, sweet potato focaccia spread, and the eggplant rainbow bowl. Today, we enjoyed the eggplant rainbow bowl and Cesaer salad (came with crispy chicken). Both were delish as always. I was pleasantly surprised by the quick service. Within a few minutes of ordering, we had our dishes on the table. I love the decor. It's different vibe from the other restaurants in UTC. Small tables so perfect for small groups (2-4). If you like Mediterranean food, try it with a friend or two!

Weather this time of year is great as it's not too hot. They have a covered patio for dining and an uncovered area near the bar for more lounging. Our server was fantastic and very friendly. We started with cocktails and an appetizer of the spicy crispy chicken wings. The wings were perfectly crispy and had a great spice to them. We both ordered rainbow bowls, I had the beef and my husband had the shrimp. Highly recommend to come hungry. The portions of the bowls were huge and had so much flavor. We can't wait to visit again and try other options on their menu as I'm sure they taste just as amazing.
