Probably the best restaurant in Sarasota in every respect. You come for the experience not only the food. The ambiance is unique, prestigious and very customer focussed. The menu is short (= THE essence of quality!) and provides dishes you won't get elsewhere. The staff is professional, and observing every step of your table. Great. We were here for the second time and from now onwards it is at the top of our list if we want to go for uncompromised quality.

1592 has achieved that rare balance of providing welcoming, personal and attentive service, with a fun, vibrant atmosphere. Each dish is perfectly prepared and presented, always with an interesting twist on the expected. Sarasota is fortunate to have such a high-level food and drink experience with a warm, friendly atmosphere! Drink? Yes; don't miss the Holiday Cocktails, very unusual and yummy. So far, we've enjoyed the Spanakopita, lamb, spicy Falafel, yellowfin Tataki -which we paired with the Baba Ganoush on the suggestion of our waiter - all excellent! And the desserts!! Don't miss the honeyed cake with Baklava gelato! All in all, this place is quickly rising to the top of our Favorites list.
