Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Englewood

Really a great experience. This was our first visit since recently moving to the area. Food was excellent and the service was great from being seated to the end. Our server, Kate E was absolutely wonderful. She was caring, attentive, and had a fabulous customer-centric focus. Nice views on top of great food and service. 10 out of 10 for us.

If you want authentic Spanish/Cuban food, Columbia is the place to go in Sarasota. We tried a number of things from the menu, chopped tomatoes, Cuban black bean soup (vegan), stuffed shrimp, key lime pie, and white chocolate bread pudding. These items, along with the crispy bread and an Andulusian Gimlet with fresh strawberries were fantastic. Our waitress has quite friendly and extremely prompt, which added to the overall experience. We will definitely be visiting again and hoping to have a cozy table inside. We were seated on the sidewalk (which was the only availability when we made our reservation), and the constant parade of cars, people, and dogs often distracted us from the wonderful meal before us. Note to self: reserve early, this restaurant is extremely popular!

Excellent location and view, we really enjoyed the food and the service. Was great see that operation is as excellent as ever even after two hurricanes. We have been enjoying this restaurant for more than 15 years and will be back.

Everything was amazing.. and if you are a steak person get the ribeye in medium. It will melt in your mouth. Omg!!! And the seafood appetizer with little octopus was next level.

Lovely experience. The amazing food, excellent service, and gorgeous style of this restaurant are truly wonderful
