    The food was excellent, but prices are extraordinarily high and portions are small. I used to love their nuts with a drink, and now they switched to unsalted cashews, which were tasteless. We were there on a Saturday night and the noise level was very high . The ambience outside is lovely .

    The ambiance on the patio is ideal and the hostess was sweet enough to fire up the heat lantern for me. Our waitress was caring and attentive. The food was delicious: blistered shishito peppers, corn chowder and fish dip. The price point on the peppers used to be reasonable for the portion, but now the size of the plate has shrunk considerably. They are about a dollar per tiny pepper now which seems extreme. I love Jack Dusty's though and don't mind simply avoiding this selection.

    What I didn’t like: the preparation of our side order of Brussels sprouts. Take the time to trim the root. Underdone. The same glaze on the triple tail fish entree as on the accompanying noodles. Slow service. Cocktails overpriced. Too sweet.

    Awesome experience, beginning with the Siren drink - had to add more vodka, but refreshing! Sushi, salad, short ribs & chicken dinner were all flavorful, cooked perfectly & presentation was perfect. Austin, our waiter, was attentive, but not hovering, knowledgeable about the menu & preparation of food, and was a joy! Why we always go to JD’s for my birthday! Restaurant was packed, so noise level was obviously higher. Would highly recommend this Sarasota gem of a restaurant.

    Our server, Cynthia, was excellent. You expect great service at a Ritz property and she did not disappoint. The food was wonderful (had seafood sampler and cioppino) and the outdoor patio was beautiful.

    We had a lovely dining experience on the patio for my niece’s birthday during the Thursday sushi special offerings. We had all four sushi rolls; lobster Cobb salad; craft cocktails and a marshmallow chocolate & cheesecake desserts. All were crumptious!
