    Overall, this was an incredible experience! DJ Odie for Sunday brunch was awesome. I would recommend checking this place out! Perhaps when it’s not so hot outside that was the only downfall is it was extremely warm outside, but that is not the restaurant fault. They can’t control the weather.

    Had a great time at Rose & Ivy. The sushi rolls were delicious as was the charred octopus. Drinks were also top notch and our waitress was the best part of it all. My daughter was 21 and they gave her a free shot !

    Top notch! We had dinner on Sunday PM. I had shashimi and my wife had tuna shashimi nachos. We were seated upstairs and it was very quiet. Behind was Wei and Iceman. Both were very friendly and know their craft very well. Our server was Alex had she was great, attentive without hovering. The salmon on crispy rice, our appetizer was special. The food was delicious and we will surely return. Great restaurant for a quiet and delicious dinner. If we could rate higher we would!

    A Hidden Gem in Downtown Sarasota: The Rose & Ivry The Rose & Ivry was a pleasant surprise — a cozy, upscale spot tucked away in downtown Sarasota offering an impressive blend of sushi and unique entrées that truly please the palate. I enjoyed a memorable daddy-daughter dinner here with my daughter. We started with melt-in-your-mouth Toro (fatty tuna) sashimi, followed by two standout sushi rolls: the Mango Express and the Spicy Yellowtail — both fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. For my main course, I chose the Korean Bone-In Pork Chop, served with crispy Brussels sprouts, scallions, and jasmine rice — a savory and well-balanced dish that hit all the right notes. Although we didn’t try it, the restaurant also offers a special three-course prix fixed menu that looked like a great value and would be perfect for a curated dining experience. If you’re looking for an exclusive, intimate setting with top-notch food and service, The Rose & Ivry is a fantastic choice. I’ll definitely be going back.
