Welcome to Sarita, where we are slightly obsessed with serving good food among friends and family. Our focus is on healthy, new American cuisine – a celebration of all our backgrounds and roots. The best of the best eats if you will. Lighter dishes with natural reductions, a lot of vinaigrettes, less cream, less butter — but unbelievable flavors. This is what you can expect if you choose to dine with us. And we hope you will. The name Sarita is a nod to Chef Anthony Romano’s mentor, plus the name of a song by the New Orleans band, The Subdudes, one of the chef’s favorites. The restaurant is owned by executive chef Romano. His approach to Sarita is fairly simple: to create a space that’s a reflection of his kind of place.relaxing, fun and celebrate life in the company of friends and family with good food and a great cocktail in hand.

    We had Nick as our server. He's a fun server and very good at reciting/describing the many specials of the day. He was informative and open to discussing your tastes and pairing you up with what the menu has to offer and making suggestions, even if that includes steering you away from what you were planning on ordering. That goes for the wine list too!! We had a lovely meal on the patio, the food was delicious and Saritas is always a great choice for dining out.

    Perfect summer experience! Patio seating was lovely, Nick was an outstanding server and the food was excellent. We shared the lobster nachos, grilled octopus and the beet salad with a guiseppe pizza. Totally enjoyable!

    This was our second time dining here. This time we decided to dine on their patio. The patio is gorgeous and spacious. A beautiful mural on the wall of the restaurant brings a sense of modernity to the atmosphere. As does the central horizontal fire place. Our starters included the octopus (special) and cast iron skillet corn bread. We loved that they had octopus! For our entrees we selected the Nonna's Eggplant and the Skate Wing (special). The Eggplant was yummy, but my spouse said "too much sauce". Although the sauce was delicious! We were quite pleased they had the Skate Wing as not too many restaurants we have been to offer it. Since they are known for their pizza, we decided to try the Margarita Pizza. It was soooo good! Finally, we chose the Key Lime Creme Brulee for dessert. Let me tell you, it was the perfect ending to our meals! We ordered a bottle of prosecco to compliment our dinner instead of purchasing multiple cocktails. It was a great choice! Our server was attentive, gracious, communicative, and pleasant to talk with. Do yourselves a favour and dine al fresco as Sarita's. You won't regret it!

    Sarita was a great choice for a late Mother's Day celebration dinner. The restaurant was packed but had a large staff on hand to make for a great experience. What's more, the list of specials could have added two pages to their standard menu. And our waitress rattled them all off without breathing (just kidding on that part). She knew every detail. My wife and I both ordered meals on the specials list. We will come back for sure. I already notified another couple we go out with every few months that we encountered a great restaurant to visit in the foreseeable future.

    We booked a table last minute before a local theater performance. We were tight on time, and our server Matt kept things moving so we didn’t feel rushed but still finished in time to get to the show. There were almost as many specials as items on the regular menu - would help to print them or have online with QR code to scan so we could re-read them. Food was great! Definitely want to go back when we have more time to enjoy the full experience!

    The lamb chops were the favorite of the night. We went on Wednesday which is half bottle of wine night. We enjoyed the brie and stuffed pepper appetizers. My spouse had the bolognaise and loved it! Another of our group had the pork tenderloin it was awesome. I had the the Pappardelle with short ribs and wasn't wild about it. All in all we had an enjoyable evening with good food and drinks. Don't forget the coffee and doughnuts for desert!

    As always, we really enjoyed the whole experience. Our waiter was wonderful, just like the food. If I have one slight criticism, it's that there are too many specials. Eight appetizers is a bit much to listen to much less remember -- both for the diner and the waiter. Then, there were several entrees. It would be really helpful to have these printed out so we could "digest" them on our own. Kudos to the wait staff!!!

    Octopus on the appetizer special was very good. The chicken Francois was excellent. Waiters are obviously well trained and informed about the menu and the recipes. Cool vibe for discerning customers. A bit moody. Bar was a bit loud (normal) but restaurant was not loud. A new favorite. Wood recommend

    You have got to get rid of the techno music. Any other music would be fine. That techno is annoying as hell. We were seated in the area near the door to the patio. It's not the best spot.

    As usual, dining at Sarita was pure pleasure, from the relaxed atmosphere, to the stellar service and, of course, the exquisite food, beautifully presented, and delicious to the last bite. Favorites were the bison appetizer, ever popular beet salad, and the two pasta specials; short rib and scallop on fettucine. Kudos to Tyler on his first night of service. We were his first ever table, yet he was confident and professional. Thanks also to Nick, who assisted Tyler and, who has given us many memorable dinners at our favorite restaurant.

    This was my second visit to Sarita. Both times I’ve experienced nothing but great customer service from all the staff. We had a waiter by the name of Austin. He was very attentive and very informative when it came to the knowledge of the menu. I chose to go with the corn encrusted halibut 10/10. I’ll be back very soon.
