    Drink 5/5 - my husband’s cocktails were amazing. As a pregnant woman who appreciates a good cocktail with dinner (well, used to 😂), the spirit-free Lavender Dreams was great! Food 5/5 - Tuna tartare is a must order appetizer. Filets were just absolutely perfect. Caesar salad - “best I’ve ever had” from a girl who will eat a Caesar salad every day of the week if we let her, and the mahi was great and cooked perfectly. Desserts - s’mores dessert was great - the kids AND adults loved it. Service 10/5 (seriously 10 out of 5) - Gina was our server. Timing, attention to detail - start to finish, it was absolutely perfect. She even put “congratulations” on our dessert to congratulate us on expecting another baby! We can’t wait to come back!

    It was just ok, nothing special to write home about, decent food and service. The drinks were the best part of the meal. There are other options in Downtown Sarasota, which have better food and service. Jack Dusty’s does have a better view!
