Restaurants near Foxfire Golf Club of Sarasota

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!

Four of us dined and everyone really liked what they ordered. The arancini is awesome! Two of us had veal marcella, one person had Italian wedding soup, and one person had bolognese. Service was top notch as well. We can’t wait to go back!

Surprisingly good food. Nice selection of enjoyable beers. We arrived at 5:30 on a Monday evening and were surprised to find the place very crowded (great sign). Once the food and drinks started to arrive we understood why. From the pretzel to the salad to the wings, the starters were very good. Burger and pizzas, delicious. Thanks for an enjoyable evening out with visiting family.

We had such a lovely time! The food was excellent, the drinks were fantastic, and the service was truly top-notch. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I ordered a creamy vegetarian dish, and it was absolutely amazing! Our group of seven each ordered something different, and everyone loved their meals. The desserts were just as impressive, rounding out a perfect dining experience. Our server deserves 5+ stars for their outstanding attention and service! Highly recommend this place!

I have lunch at Connor’s at least once a month. I view it as a combination of excellent food and reasonable prices. I’m particularly fond of their half price happy hour. It’s pretty easy to have a delicious meal and a beer for $20. That’s hard to find these days. Today our server was Frank and he couldn’t have been more attentive. He let us take our time before before ordering, checked if we needed anything during the meal and then wrapped up leftovers for us. If you haven’t gone already, treat yourself to lunch at Connor’s and I think you’ll be happy.
