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.

It quite a busy evening with the red hot Cavaliers game happening the same night as our date at the theater, but our lovely server was attentive and kept a great pace for our meal, all the while keeping us informed of the progress of our order. From beginning to end, we were warmly welcomed and thanked for dining with Morton’s. We enjoyed the fillet and crab cake special with bernaise sauce and a loaded baked potato. We finished the evening off with crème brûlée. With an extensive wine list, it’s easy to find one you’ll enjoy. We consistently come here before the theater because we can count of Morton’s to get us out on time.

Very good first experience. Sea food tower was a bang for your buck, oysters were top notch and serving size was big. Even the ahi tuna amount was wild. Seared scallop dish was delicious, scallops big, juicy and flavorful. Will be coming back. Service was great as well drinks never ran low before being asked if we needed another.
