Welcome to Sarita, where we are slightly obsessed with serving good food among friends and family. Our focus is on healthy, new American cuisine – a celebration of all our backgrounds and roots. The best of the best eats if you will. Lighter dishes with natural reductions, a lot of vinaigrettes, less cream, less butter — but unbelievable flavors. This is what you can expect if you choose to dine with us. And we hope you will. The name Sarita is a nod to Chef Anthony Romano’s mentor, plus the name of a song by the New Orleans band, The Subdudes, one of the chef’s favorites. The restaurant is owned by executive chef Romano. His approach to Sarita is fairly simple: to create a space that’s a reflection of his kind of place.relaxing, fun and celebrate life in the company of friends and family with good food and a great cocktail in hand.

    Our server Nicholas was outstanding. He enhanced our dining experience at Sarita with recommendations and his attention to detail, as we celebrated my wife’s birthday. His service was as always a cut above. The food was delicious and the ambiance was perfect. This was a wonderful experience.

    Started the evening with the Winter wonderland Margaritas and the Apple Bourbon delight along with the stuffed dates. Everything was great. The Mahi mahi special was delightful and the smash burger and Pan Roasted Cod were equally as enjoyable. Topped off with a wonderful peanutbutter and chocolate dessert! The service is top notch with Alessandra being quite attentive and it’s always a pleasure to talk to Julie when we are there.

    Had an evening special filet and fried shrimp. Jumbo fried shrimp were larger and tastier than I have had in years. Combined with a perfectly cooked rare filet. Partner's filet was great as well. Good food, good service, good value. Can't go wrong at Ferris.
