Restaurants near Pioneer Park

Sat outside at lunch at Duval's. A very pleasant experience -- delicious food, excellent service from Raechel, and very reasonable prices. Lots of good stuff on the menu to choose from. I had the Shrimp Po-Boy 1/2 sandwich and chowder, quite the bargain at $13.50. My wife enjoyed her grill shrimp, too. Quiet setting outside. Only negative: $14.50 for a Vodka Gimlet. We will definitely go back, but, skip the cocktail.

The ambiance and atmosphere in this restaurant is lovely. Food is always delicious. Service was great. Everyone enjoyed their Christmas here. It is a top notch restaurant #1 in Sarasota, FL. The owner, sons, family members, chef, servers, bartender, etc. do a fabulous job! Kudos to all at Rosemary & Thyme!

My only regret is that I don’t live closer so that I could experience this fabulous restaurant more often. Glenda took great care of us, and we sat outside on a beautiful night. I highly recommend the scallops, Caesar salad, the tuna entree and the skirt steak with plantains. This was a special anniversary for us, and the dessert- a chocolate confection of mousse with a hard chocolate shell- was divine. Thank you, Selva, for a memorable evening!

Our first time at The Reserve. Our Christmas Eve dinner was fabulous. Service impeccable, And very comfortable setting. You feel like a welcomed guest at the Reserve. We will be back!

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!
