Best American Restaurants in Bayshore Gardens

We had the baked pimento oysters for the appetizer, they were amazing. Between all of us, we had the catch of the day which was swordfish and it was cooked to perfection. The jambalaya was also a great dish as was the bruschetta chicken. The creme brulee and tiramisu were also just right. Not too sweet and beautiful presentation. The service was exceptional. Lynn was very kind and friendly and made sure we were topped off at all times and her knowledge of the menu was on point. The best part was the outdoor seating area and the view. Definitely recommend the restaurant and it's location.

Service was great! Everyone was very welcoming and kind but the food was very memorable. The ambiance of the restaurant was so cozy and aesthetically pleasing. There is also a bar! They had daily specials and lunch specials. Complimentary garlic knots were so surprising and delicious. Their mozzarella wedges are a must have. Their pastas were huge portions, very filling and delicious. Their chicken soaks up the sauce of the food so well.Their food is made fresh in house so it was a little bit of a longer wait than I am used to but well worth.Will be back again!

Juan was so nice & dinner was great! Very accommodating for valentines :)

The Ringling Grillroom was an outstanding Valentines Day experience. We had the $99 couples special, where we shared an appetizer, dessert and bottle of wine, and got our own entrees. I had the beef medallions and my wife had the snapper. Both were delicious, and all were more food than we could eat -- we brought home doggie bags. We sat outside in a perfect temperature and slight breeze ... the sun was setting over the Ringling grounds, which were very peaceful. Lots of room for nice conversation. Our Venezuelan waiter was attentive and charming, and talked with us for a long time. Really ... if there's a better Valentines Day dinner, I'd like to hear about it. We love the Ringling!

We thoroughly enjoyed the special dinner and wine tasting at BPPK, featuring the fabulous wines from Diablo Paso. Enrique Torres, the award winning winemaker, was a delight to talk to. He shared his passion for the wines he produces in the Spanish tradition and explained what went into the creation of each of his unique wines. We especially loved his Max and Nico and the albariño. It was a wonderful evening and chef Pettersson paired his menu perfectly with the selections. These monthly wine events are a fantastic way to learn about interesting wineries and sample the chef’s always amazing cuisine. If you haven’t been to By Patrik Pettersson, you are missing a Sarasota culinary treasure.
