Best Restaurants for Handcrafted Cocktails in Siesta Key

My family had never been. If you haven’t, it’s definitely an experience to remember! And staff were so great! Definitely go, but don’t go overboard on extras offered because the 4-course meals are a ton of food!

Our party of four had an unbelievable experience. The Server, Adam Pratt, was outstanding. He was extremely passionate about his job and provided insight into all Menu items. His interactions were impeccable, providing superior service while also being very interactive and professional. The food was outstanding. Lobster Bisque - Easily the best my Wife and I have ever had. Its creaminess and flavor were beyond reproach. Nigiri (Salmon Belly), Ahi Tuna, and Crab Cocktail - All phenomenal. The crab was super succulent. Wagyu Filet, Wagyu Manhattan, 8oz Filet - These were all "melt" in your mouth and cooked to perfection. The scallop entree was also very good. The scallops were cooked perfectly. The risotto was very good, and the presentation was outstanding. Truffl;e Mac & Cheese was some of the best I have ever tasted. The asparagus is easily the Most Tender asparagus I have ever eaten. The Brussels sprouts were delicious. We finished with the 10-layer Carrot Cake - This was wonderful and the Pineapple sauce was an unbelievable compliment to the moistness of the cake. The cream cheese icing which usually overdoes the cake was the perfect compliment. Our only complaint was the Carrot Cake only had 9 layers. We showed Adam and had some lighthearted fun with it at the table. Thank you Oceans Prime Sarasota for such a memorable and delightful dining experience.

Baker & Wife has never disappointed. The dishes are creative and well-cooked, the waitstaff are attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere is like a neighborhood bistro. This visit, we ordered the meatloaf with Korean bbq sauce which was excellent and the salmon which was flavorful and cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend Baker & Wife to anyone looking for a great place to dine.

This restaurant is a gift to Sarasota! This chef has a beautiful way of creating delicious food. The layers of flavor do not disappoint! In fact as we were leaving, we were picking out the offerings on the menu that we would like to try on our next date here. Start with the Japanese milk bread- perfection . Definitely try the gnocchi- it’s a must! They are creamy and delicate with a sauce that is addictive. Garnished with pretty edible flowers and toasted happy breadcrumbs! Yum! We tried the rigatoni Amatriccana - awesome!The pork blade very good as well. End with the Japanese cheesecake- not your average. It’s like if cheesecake and crème brûlée had a baby! We normally get the duck, which is fantastic. There are fun new things to explore.
