Restaurants near Courtyard Sarasota Bradenton Airport

It was our first time at Ocean Prime, and we were impressed. The service is very good, from greeting, to seating, to taking orders, including special needs (gluten free foods, etc.) Both my wife and I had fish and it was exquisite. It was our anniversary and they took special care of us, including complimentary drinks. We were in kind of a hurry to go to an orchestra concert, so we couldn’t stay as long as I would’ve liked. We will be back.

My first time there, but it won’t be my last. From the welcome at the door, to being seated at a window table, to service that was very attentive without being overwhelming, The Rosemary and Thyme was just perfect. Now to describe the food. It was excellent. The chef pairs flavors so well. The fried mushrooms were beer battered and perfectly fried. One of the specials was a short ribs with an Asian sauce. Excellent. Didn’t overpower the silky tender beef. Vegetable portions were generous. Katrina was out server and she was lovely. Cheerful, helpful, but not intrusive.

Ate upstairs vs patio. Nice water views from all tables. Service was excellent. Food was also great. Server shared recipe for the citrus sauce served with the Grouper. Recommend this place for all.

This may have been our best meal at By Patrik Pettersson. There were some new dishes on the menu - which is always changing - but the Vension was new and outstanding - melt in your mouth wonderful! The Branzino was great - and I don't like fish but I loved this dish! He had a new wine for us to try which was perfect with our dinner. I don't know where he finds them. All and all, I don't know how Patrik will top this dinner! The service is always wonderful and the people are always friendly but not overly so. Looking forward to our next meal there! Thanks for another wonderful experience at this hidden gem!

The Columbia restaurant is always a winner! We had a fabulous meal and Jack was an exceptional waiter. We love the food, the atmosphere and the value. My husband always starts with the exceptional black bean soup, I had the empanadas yum! We both had Grouper. Rounded out our meal with key lime pie ( a generous slice) and the tres amigos churros, delicious 😋 we highly recommend and we will be back!
