    Greeted and sat quickly, server was personable and attentive, especially to the little ones we brought with us. It was a busy day and a little noisy, but when the private party room guests left, it returned to the normal ambiance that we’re used to at Libby’s. Overall, a great day!

    Had issues with one of our meals, but staff went overboard to fix it and then comped it on top of that. Other meal was excellent with no issues. Restaurant was nicely decorated with great ambiance, with decent noise level. Our booth helped mute some of the sound level, so that made it nice. Our server Tiffany was well trained and extremely accommodating and sweet. Kudos to her professionalism. Other staff were just as great. Overall, a well run operation with fabulous food and an above-average staff. That almost always makes for a great experience, which this was. We highly recommend Conner’s.

    We ordered from the early dining menu...salmon. It was very good...almost too much to eat. Our cocktails were very great...pricey but we were aware of the cost. Our server, Josh, (co-server, Max) was excellent. He was very friendly, as well as helpful!

    The food and service are outstanding. They are by far the best value in Sarasota....3 courses for less than $40 for great food is crazy good. We have always received great, attentive service whether we were outside on their patio or inside.

    Our server must of have had too many tables. We did not receive the exceptional service that we have experienced in the past. The food as always was exceptional, worth every penny spent on the marvelous steak. The piano music was so loud that we could not have conversation at the table. I realize that it is Christmas party season so that accounts for a bit of noise in the restaurant. We will be back again after the holiday season when we know that service will be back to the exceptional standard of Micheals on East
