    On-street parking was ample nearby. Menu had MANY options. Food was great. Service (Carlos) was courteous and very prompt. Carlos was knowledgable about the menu. Prices were very reasonable. Noise level was acceptable even for this 81 year old with bad hearing. Nothing not to like and a VERY pleasant evening! Will keep coming back.

    Once again, we had one of the best meals in Sarasota. The service and food quality is always consistent. We’ve been going for years and there’s never been an “off” meal. We ordered the chicken skewer and pork chop (moist of course). We were still talking about it when we got up this morning. If you’re in the Sarasota area, don’t miss this one!!
