Best Restaurants with Dancing in Lakewood Ranch

Sage is probably the most beautiful restaurant in Sarasota or its environs, and the professionalism of the staff is the highest level we have seen in the area. Unlike most joints which stop serving by 9:00 PM, Sage serves dinner until 10:00 PM on weekdays and 11:00 PM on Friday and Saturday, with last reservation at 9:30. We walked there in 4 minutes from seeing the Ballet at the Sarasota Opera House, and I called ahead to say the performance was delayed (it was an actual world premiere). Bless them, they kept the kitchen open just for us, the last diners, and we had the best after-theatre experience since we've lived in Florida, like the old days when we lived on the Upper West Side and went to Lincoln Center.

It is just a fantastic place. We celebrated my mom’s birthday last night and everything was amazing. They always go above and beyond for their customers and their food is simply delicious. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.

Enjoyed our dinner at this locals spot. Ample servings. The chicken Francese is great with the angel hair pasta. Caesar salad big enough to share. Server attentive and got us out on time for concert.

The restaurant was wonderful. However it is located in the Art ovation Hotel, and the hotel stinks! Whatever aromatherapy the hotel is using makes it smell like a cheap toilet!!It was overwhelming and putrid. But the restaurant was great!
