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.

    Such great food, excellent service and a very quaint place. The only negative would be that it’s very dark and difficult to read the menu.

    Disappointing first experience. We had heard such good things about Sarita and were looking forward to trying it. The first issue was our reservation was not honored. We made a reservation for a high top table, but we were seated in a low top table that had been shoved in the back of the restaurant near a busy wait staff station. I was seated less than an arm's distance from the table that was perpendicular to ours. My companion's back was to the wait staff station, and he had to duck when servers would come in or out carrying trays, and one member of the wait staff bumped into my companion's arm while he was taking a drink. Thankfully, we were moved to a different table at our request. Next is the restroom situation. There is one unisex toilet/restroom for the entire restaurant. The gentleman ahead of me neither put the seat down nor flushed, so that was an unpleasant experience. Lastly concerning the food and drink, the drink I ordered did not match the drink description on the menu and the food portions were on the small side for the price.

    Sarita never disappoints! Went for the first time about 6 weeks ago and have been back 4 times. The food is always fantastic and the staff is always on-point. Magdalina, Nick, and Jen are top notch servers. Sarita is our new favorite restaurant.

    The elevated Bouillabaisse was fantastic. So was the Molton Bleu cheese encrusted beef tenderloin. The apps are wonderful, the drinks, delicious, and the desserts are decadent.

    Our meal and service were outstanding. My only complaint is the same that I experience in many restaurants now- It's so loud we have trouble even talking to each other at the table. What happened to polite dinner conversation? I'm not talking about the bar area, that had fun music playing that created a festive atmosphere.
