We just had lunch and it was amazing as always especially considering the recent hurricane, Idalia! Many businesses experienced flooding on the circle. The restaurant was clean and ready to go. It was a great dining experience from our waiter Bill to our gift shop hostess, Jill. Bill was amazing sharing the history of our meals. Jill was so lovely, carefully wrapping our pottery purchases for travel. If I could give 10 stars, I would!!
Always lovely! They are renovating at the moment and the dining room is smaller than usual. Was a bit of a wait even though we had a reservation. But the food and service makes up for it and then some! Don't miss the lobster pasta, the sauce is good enough to eat with a spoon. And the flan is a dream.
The tapas sampler is great! The crab, mussels, and queso fundio were all excellent.
The service is great, and while not cheap, it is very reasonably priced for the portion size.
The wait staff is good and atmosphere nice but it gets very busy so be prepared for a wait.
Worth stopping at for sure if you are in the area.

My husband and I went here for lunch today and were blown away from start to finish! Our waitress, Sierra, was super friendly and attentive. The food was incredible! Even the bread they brought out before food was spectacular. We ordered the black bean cake tapas, gazpacho soup, and their famous Cuban sandwich. The black bean cakes were wonderful, the gazpacho the best we've ever had, and the Cuban sandwich huge - it also came with plantain chips! We shared a flan for dessert that was so light, creamy, and sweet. We had such a wonderful experience!
I've been there several times, and I'm leaving my review now. Every single time it was a pleasant experience. I love the way they prepare and mix the salad next to us before serving. I can't count how many different plates we ordered as a family but I can assure you it was a lot. If I'm going on vacation to the Sarasota area, I won't think twice going back there. My suggestion is ordering their paella if you like it. It's amazingly tasty!
Great restaurant. A must do when visiting St Armands Circle. Wonderful clean well laid out floor plan both inside and outside. Service was amazing. Ask for Chris, he is an awesome server. He was kind, patient and explained all options throughly and was very attentive but not too overbearing.
I’ve been to this location twice now and you can’t get a better location/atmosphere in my opinion! I love the open air dining! Both times I had their famous 1905 salad however the first time, they forgot the fresh lemon in the salad which I didn’t realize until the end. I was a bit disappointed because I felt like I hadn’t truly experienced the greatness of the salad in all of its glory. So the second time I went, I made sure they added in the lemon and as expected, it was even better!
