Best Restaurants for Foodies in Gulf Gate Estates

Always outstanding! From the cocktails to the food to the service- all wonderful! The noise level was a bit high only because the restaurant was packed and there were lots of large parties celebrating the holidays. We can’t wait to go back!

Everything was beautiful. Our server Katie is the best.

Sat at the Chef’s Counter with my wife. Service was prompt and attentive. Wine and cocktail options were varied and plentiful. Food was amazing. Will definitely return. The one minor oddity IMO was that the doors at Adeline opened at the exact time of our reservation, ie we had to wait in the street until the restaurant opened. Having a 10 or even a 5 minute overlap would allow guests to wait inside the restaurant (maybe at the bar) would add to the overall premium experience.

We live in a tourist area with a huge number of restaurants but Michael's on East can always be counted on to provide high quality delicious food and impeccable service. We had a most memorable evening with them welcoming us back by name and going out of their way to mix an unusual cocktail that is not typically ordered. It was delicious. I particularly enjoy the epicurean menu which changes monthly. Sitting in the lounge for happy hour is also a nice friendly experience,

Been a few years since we have had the pleasure of eating here since we live up north. It was the best all-round meal we have had at a restaurant in the last year. The escargot wellington and the lobster bisque to start the meal were packed with flavor and richness. My mother's tiger shrimp and chicken meatballs were delicious. So much good stuff packed in the meatballs with pasta made to perfection. My wife's crusted yellowtail snapper had a good crunch to the outside with flavorful savory fish inside, especially when combined with the tropical fruit jam and the crispy plantains. The paella had so many parts that worked but my favorites were the scallops and the pork belly. To finish the meal, our server recommended a delicious apple galette with a gelato scoop on top and raspberry sauce around thr edge of the plate for extra flavor. It was delightful. The phyllo pastry in both the wellington and galette were well prepared. What a great way to start our Christmas vacation in Sarasota.
