once again Rosemary and Thyme did a great job with this meal. We arrived on thyme and were taken directly to our table. The fixed price menu was varied and provided too many great choices. Service was prompt but not pushy. The choices we picked were excellent - need to go back and try some others.

We chose Rosemary & Thyme because it is walking distance to the West Coast Black Theater. It is a perfect spot for a pre-show meal. Food, service, and ambience were great. The ability to make a reservation always is appreciated. Highly recommend!

This is a charming stylish restaurant in historic Rosemary district in Sarasota. The restaurant is lovely with inside and outside seating and a nice bar. We always have a delightful dining experience , starting with reception, wonderful service ( Nikki was our server this visit) , perfectly prepared cocktails and of course cuisine. They periodically change the menu, but always many options. Dinners are always perfectly prepared, beautifully plated on antique china, such a nice feature, and white linen tablecloths. This is a favorite of ours, we like to dine here before going to nearby theatre.

Always a great place to dine! This time we brought two friends. The food was great! Three of our party had the branzino and I had the NY Strip. All were perfectly cooked. Chris, our waiter is fabulous!! He really makes you feel that he is there to make sure your experience is perfect and he does a wonderful job! Thanks Chris! We dined outside in the beautiful garden atmosphere. Will go back again..soon!

Another great dinner at The Rosemary. Brought my mother for the first time - she was in love. The outside dining area feels so special and the live performer had a lovely smooth vibe the entire night. Our server Katrina was very kind. Tried the duck for the first time - HOLY SMOKES. We will be getting this dish everytime from now on. Continues to be one of our favorite dinner spots for a reason!

Ambience is nice. Wait staff attentive. Prices high. Food is totally disappointing. If the quality of the food matched the quality of the environs (and expectations created by the menu), then this would be an exceptional experience. Unfortunately, the food is totally unexceptional. There are many other restaurants in the area where much better food can be found. For us, no reason to return.

It was awful! The portions were tiny. They were the size of the $25 dinner special at full price. The owner or manager did give us free tickets for brunch, however, when we complained to him. . The service was disgraceful as it was the waiter’s first night and he appeared to have had no training whatsoever. Rosemary and Thyme was one of our favorite restaurants in Sarasota, but it is going to be a very long time before we dine there again!

Date Night at the Rosemary & Thyme. There were two, Italian themed dinners offered for $50 with an appetizer, main course and dessert. We were a party of four who decided to dine inside. We were not rushed and had great service from Georgiana. The Camari was excellent, but just not hot enough. I had a pork Milanese as the entree and my wife mushroom ravioli. Every seat was taken and there were at least two turnovers. I would have enjoyed more extended wine selection by the glass, but it was adequate. This is the 2 for 1 for the season. It is great to see the same wait staff and many of the same patrons. Rosemary & Thyme continues to deliver.

Went there for “Date Night”……2 three course meals for $50. The theme / menu was Italian (theme changes weekly). Food was excellent with plenty of choices and the waiter gave us just the right amount of attention. We sat outside on a chilly night because there were plenty of heat lamps that kept us cozy and warm. There was even a gentleman playing an electric guitar and stings of white lights hanging above all adding to the ambiance. What a delightful night!
