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.

    From the minute we walked in we new this was a special place. First, the ambiance was present. The wine list was spectacular as well as the menu. And we were very impressed with the specials our waiter was able to deliver from memory. We will return.

    My appetizer lobster pot pie was cold inside and was sent back. The Boiuillabaisse was not a fish soup, rather a seafood risotto which was 80% rice and very little liquid. There was 4 shrimp, one small piece of fish, and six small clams and 6 small mussels. No bread was offered to the table until until requested when the entrees were served. The other 3 diners at our table were satisfied with. their meals. Our server was very good and my food was comp'd. l
