Restaurants near Circus Sarasota Big Top

We were a party of 6 and each one us loved our dinners. Lobster Rolls, Grilled Grouper, Lobster pasta, Kentucky salmon, pasta seafood, it was a perfect score. A bit pricey but nonetheless we fully enjoyed dinner.

This was our third visit. Very organized. TJ was a super server. We have had Emma and Anthony serve us in the recent past and were also excellent! Food is great. We had mushroom flat bread, brussel sprouts and spaghetti with meatballs. We will definitely be back!

As always, our time there was amazing. Our server was very detailed and didn’t rush our time. The food was amazing and flavourful, everyone was very happy with their choices. We all shared the Panna Cotta for dessert and it was lovely and refreshing!

Second visit, this time for the set menu on Christmas Day. A wide selection was available, including a halibut special. The lobster bisque was excellent, as was the duck a l’orange. The latter was better than the usual dish, since the sauce was served on the side, leaving the skin crispy, but the inside tender and moist. The halibut was also very good. In both cases, the portion size was very generous. Overall, an excellent experience and great value.

This restaurant has been open 3 days but it runs smoothly. We sat outside on the upper deck and had a lovely view of a courtyard, surrounded by high rise condos, and a large canal that opened out onto the Sarasota Bay. I had the 8 oz filet mignon (extremely tender and flavorful). My husband had the blackened snapper and found it delicious as well. Everything we ordered was excellent (wedge salad, onion soup, whipped potatoes and chocolate peanut butter pie with Ethiopian French press coffee). My. Old Fashioned was very good as well. My husband ordered a non-alcoholic beer which they had run out of but someone ran to the store and got him one without delay. Brendan was our waiter and he couldn't have been more attentive. All the staff was top-notch. We will be back, especially when we have guests who are steak lovers!
