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.

    Morton’s never disappoints! Our server Alfredo was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. Our steaks were done perfectly, the GM Josh stopped by to say hello and make sure we were satisfied. If you want to feel special and have an amazing dinner don’t hesitate to book a reservation!

    We went to Pier W for our anniversary dinner. It could not have been more perfect. We had a drink in the bar while waiting our waitress was so sweet and friendly. She got our drink order in just in the nick of time to get happy hour prices. We were seated by the windows with a lovely view of the lake and the downtown skyline. Our server was very attentive. The food was amazing. We had the lobster bisque, clam chowder, Maine lobster pasta and the grilled mahi. The were all delicious and I would recommend. They also gave us a brownie desert for our anniversary. This was our first time here but it will not be our last.

    This is the model for a great seafood restaurant… came here serendipitously two years ago not expecting anything.. was shocked a restaurant this good could be so far from an ocean. Returned today… hoping it was still great. It is. The staff greeted us warmly as if we were well-liked regulars. The atmosphere softly lit, with every table full, yet without feeling over-crowded. The menu just right… all the favorites.. with nice touches and specials… all fresh. Dessert offerings were solid… and maybe that best describes this restaurant… a solid 9 out of 10. It would hold its own in Manhattan, Miami Beach , Boston or LA.
