• Gastro Pub • Fruitville, Florida
Booked 24 times today
When we started Big Top Brewing Company, there were no craft breweries in the Sarasota area and we set out to fix that. We wanted to compliment Sarasota’s historical associations with The Ringling Circus, performing arts, great architecture, the best art and design schools and world renown tourism. The best way we could do that was to craft beer that our home town can be proud of. We plan to continue the tradition of the arts and help Sarasota add beer town to its identity. Come step under our big top and see for yourself. Big Top Brewing Company artistically crafts world class beers, inspired by our passion, integrity, and the history of our home town.

    Excellent server. The filet medallions were over done, not cooked medium and the pasta dishes were kept under the heat lamp for a long time.

    Another superb meal to celebrate a very special occasion. Three of us had the filet, all were delicious and properly grilled. One had the jumbo shrimp - terrific and a very generous serving (eight huge shrimp). One had the lobster bisque and said it was the best she ever tasted in her 92 years. One had the house salad - large portion, very fresh, included bacon and egg (in addition to the usual carrots and tomatoes), but oddly no croutons. Two had the creamed spinach, simply wonderful. Desserts were strawberry shortcake (perfect and rich) and Creme brûlée (yummy). Very good service, quiet corner table (as requested). An extra celebration of a 92nd birthday. Connor’s is a must visit.

    Our server was truly AMAZING! She was personable, attentive, and very helpful in guiding us through the menu. We chose the $180 set for 2 people and really enjoyed the selection of meats! Because it was our anniversary we were offered a glass of complimentary sparkling wine and dessert, which was INCREDIBLY generous of the restaurant! The only very minor complaint I could say is that the banchan was just OK (the kimchi and bean sprouts were fairly disappointing). We also asked if we could swap the Corn Cheese side for a Steamed Egg, which they said they couldn’t do.
