6. The Bodhi Tree Cafe

For dinner with two friends, we sat inside to stay cool. The staff is charming and we were welcomed enthusiastically. An old house with smaller rooms allowed easy conversation. We all enjoyed our main courses. The only disappointment was the Tza Tziki which tasted basically like simple yoghurt. It was explained that they never use garlic in their cooking as too many do not like it. Yogurt without garlic cannot be labeled tza tziki so perhaps they should rename it. The other two items in the sampler dish were very good, hummus and hitipiti.

We were hoping for a great meal at Viento and that simply didn't happen. The bread was the best part of our meal. The burrata was good but smothered in the same pasta sauce as the spinach ravioli. The serving sizes are small - four ravioli to a serving. My husband had the bolognese which was good but not great. Additionally, our service was slow and almost nonexistent. It's a shame because this restaurant is in the lovely Zota resort where the rest if the staff has been amazing. Hello msbasil. Thank you for taking the time to visit Viento and to provide some feedback about your experience. I apologize the experience didn't quite meet your expectations. Our Burrata is paired with a tomato compote-while our pasta sauce is a house made traditional marinara, and our ravioli is dressed with an Eggplant Caponata. It is good to see that your husband enjoyed the Bolognese in some respect. I do hope if we are ever lucky enough to have you back for a second visit you are able to enjoy our delicious menu as it is intended. I hope you have a great day.

I'm always mystified by restaurant reviews. How does a restaurant receive a "Mediocre At Best" criticism from one reviewer and a "Don't Miss This One" praise from another? Did they change chefs? Bevardi's Salute has been open since 2006 but my wife and I discovered it for the first time a year ago. Located at 23 North Lemon Avenue in downtown Sarasota, Florida, it is a classy Italian restaurant in an old-time setting, a big bar a large main dining room, two other dining rooms, a large patio and a comprehensive menu with several Tuscan touches. It is one of the most underrated restaurants in Sarasota, a very underrated restaurant town. Salute is housed in a historic 1920s building but our waitress, Moriah, added a young and attractive and personable touch to the proceedings. She also is an expert at filleting Branzino and Dover Sole tableside. It all makes for a very enjoyable dining experience. We started with bruschetta pomodoro, tomatoes and onions and Tuscan bread, then observed admiringly as Moriah filleted our special entrees, Branzino and Dover Sole. Branzino, a Mediterranean sea bass not to be confused with Chilean sea bass, has become very popular at upscale restaurants over the last three years. It reminds of Gulf red snapper but it has its own texture and flavor, light and tasty, not fishy. For dessert, we shared a plate of profiteroles, a pastry stuffed with vanilla ice cream and adorned with strawberries, whipped cream and chocolate sauce. Bevardi's Salute has found its niche in the Sarasota dining community.

This is one of my favorites in Sarasota. Excellent wood-fire over pizzas, delicious pastas, grilled fish and more. The owners are wonderful and do their best to make sure you are comfortable, happy and well-fed. Across from the Hollywood movie theatre, it's a great place to dine before or after a movie.

First off, they serve only fresh items. All items. Nothing frozen. Secondly, the preparation is absolutely top of the line. The flavors are unbelievable yet not over-powering. The olive oil is truly remarkable. We tried several dishes and each was fantastic. Menu varies from $ to $$$ but all items were flavorful and quite large portions (they do offer âto goâ containers). We will certainly return within a a few days. Most excellent.
