    Always a wonderful experience at Seasons 52 in the UTC mall in Sarasota FL! We were seated in the area requested and given a birthday card. We were able to choose a delicious appetizer, on the house. Our server, Mallory, was amazing! She was so attentive, pleasant and professional. Drinks were spot on (Cosmos) and all food fresh and delicious (flatbreads, salad, soup, and dessert). Thank you to the Service Manager who visited us and checked to make sure we had everything needed. Well done, Seasons 52! We’ll be back!

    Capital Grill is always one of the top restaurants in Sarasota. We have eaten at the new additions to fine dining, and while they are also excellent, the overall top score remains with Capital Grill. From the phone call to secure a reservation until the last goodbye, leaving at the end of the night, it was a first-class job. Even MORE impressive, this was Jan 1, 2025, so everyone working had to be dragging from New Year, but they did not miss a beat. Laura, from the "hello" to Oscar starting the night, good job, and you are all appreciated.

    Best steak in town. My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful prime rib and filet together to bring in the New Year. We have lived in Sarasota for 5 years, and finally discovered the best! We would recommend the lobster bisque as well. Great service and a wonderful staff. We will definitely be bringing our fiends here.
