    We went in for savor Sarasota, we had never heard of the place before. We weren't aware it was located in a hotel before arriving. We were probably the only people there that weren't guests of the hotel. We sat at the bar. The food was great, we had the brussle sprouts ( AMAZING), and the meatloaf and the poke bowl. Enjoyed all of the food. The bartender ( I think Toni) was very nice and enjoyable to talk to. She made us feel very comfortable. We had a beer from tap that was poured that was warm. When we mentioned it, it was promptly addressed and fixed without issue. Very good experience.
