Great Atmosphere, variable standards of Music. However, the food is slapdash at best. Dishes and drinks are vastly overpriced. $10 for a glass of plonk. $20 for the smallest worst imaginable fish and chips ever. Raw fish content approx. 4 ozs. In fairness the batter was very light but spoiled by the taste of old cooking ÍFaÍt. Great town center location but donât go for the food.Trevor,Thank you for coming in to dine with us at Mattison's. I am sorry that you did not find your recent fish and chips to your expectations. I do hope that you will give us another try in the future so that you might find a menu item more to your liking.Chef Paul Mattison, OwnerElizabeth Joy, General Manager

For generations, my familia lived in New York and experienced firsthand the journey of the Italian clam bars. I have great memories of getting spiffy and visiting our local clam bar. I always thought it would've been the cat's pajamas to walk thru the doo

My husband and I had a very nice meal at Speaks while visiting the area to celebrate his brithday. We enjoyed the Arancini Shrimp with medium marinara, dinners from the daily specials (lobster tails and sides, lobster and shrimp pasta), and chocolate hazelnut dessert. From the wine/cocktails to dessert, from the food to the service, everything was excellent. We look forward to a return trip to try additional items on the menu.

The worst tex mex we've ever had, which is sad since tex mex is so easy to make. The tacos weren't cooked through, ingredients weren't fresh, and too many obnoxious bros drunk by noon on a weekday. Not family friendly. Can cook better food at home. The service was poor not because our waitress was bad, but because the manager let the other waiters stand and bs while a single waitress carried 12 tables on her own. Appalling.

My husband was reading the Newspaper and saw an article about this bar, who gave the money that people put on the walls to charity, so we thought weâd check it out. Atmosphere, food and drinks were great. We both had the grouper tacos. Zach was our waiter, he was very nice. Very busy place, but taken care of! Good choice! We're so glad that you enjoyed your experience! Thank you for the review.

Had lunch after strolling around St Armands on a Sunday. Had Cuban something drinks which were refreshing and fruity, goat cheese appetizer, the highly recommended coconut shrimp, the Thai seafood bowl was a bit small for the price and features basmati rice (rather than Thai jasmine ?), I had the Cuban sandwich, which was only ok, the bread was very hard.

Palermo serves up excellent food reminiscent of the NE US. I'm from Philly originally, and my cheese steak ranked up there with some of the best I've had. And the bread (he makes it there fresh every day) was fabulous!

I have lived in Sarasota for 40 years. I believe Connors is the best restaurant in the area. The food is consistently fabulous, very large portions and the service great and the staff friendly and accommodating.Today I had grilled chicken on mashed potatoes and served with broccoli.My friend had shrimp and grits and said it was THE BEST she ever had.As a bonus the owner was there today, Bo Connor. He spent at least 20 minutes visiting with us at our table. Very impressive.The cappuccino was excellent. I only wish I could have been able to eat their homemade ice cream. One scoop feeds 3 or 4, very generous portion.We both had enough leftover for another meal.I never get tired of Connors!Thanks for the glowing review!
