   We were not greeted when we arrived promptly at 5:00p.m. We were finally greeted by a man who said the they were in a meeting and no one came back to greet us. After a long wait, we left.

   We purposefully went to Cafe L'Europe to listen to Amandah play the piano and sing...she is such a talent! We were seated at an ideal table and Miguel our waiter was extraordinary. Always special at Cafe L'Europe!

   Cafe L'Europe - St Armand's is truly an experience. I would highly recommend getting a seat in the piano room on Friday & Saturday nights, as there is live music. The staff is phenomenal and the food is delicious. I will be returning.

   Food & service were outstanding. Both exceeded expectations. 6 old friends meeting for dinner & conversation. Could not have been better. Each entry was served beautifully & exactly as described. The server, Morgan may have been the best ever. Always there but never an interruption. Definitely our new go to spot.

    Café L'Europe in Sarasota, FL is an absolute gem of a restaurant. From the moment you walk in the door, you are greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that is both elegant and comfortable. The décor is chic and sophisticated, with beautiful lighting and tasteful artwork adorning the walls. The menu at Café L'Europe is nothing short of fantastic. It features a range of classic French dishes, as well as some innovative creations that are sure to tantalize your taste buds. Whether you are in the mood for seafood, steak, or something vegetarian, there is something for everyone on this menu. One standout dish that I highly recommend is the Duck L'Orange, which features Duck served with creamy sweet potatoes. And don't forget to save room for dessert – the Bananas Foster is simply divine. But it's not just the food that makes Café L'Europe such a great dining experience. The service is top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff who are always ready to assist you with anything you may need. The wine list is also extensive, featuring a wide range of options to pair with your meal. Overall, I cannot recommend Café L'Europe enough. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for a fantastic meal, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit. The combination of excellent food, attentive service, and a warm and inviting atmosphere make it a true standout in the Sarasota dining scene.

    We have had several really good meals at Cafe L'Europe. Unfortunately, this visit was quite disappointing. We have our eyes wide open as to price points, but expect excellent quality in return. This visit had escargot that were tiny, chewy, and in a over-peppered sauce. Veal piccata was unacceptably tough and served lukewarm as if it was prepared before other entrees and then sat waiting to be served. Salads were not crispy fresh. Fish was not memorable. We hope this was a one-off.

    My friend and I enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Cafe L'Europe while we were visiting Sarasota. Our waiter, Manuel, was absolutely delightful. In fact, we had such a lovely time there that we returned the following week on our way to the airport. Manuel was once again our waiter and it was the perfect ending to our stay in Florida. Everything about Cafe L'Europe is top notch; the service, the food, and the ambiance. We will make a visit there a regular event while in Florida.

    We were the forgotten table. I can appreciate a leisurely meal, however our night was ridiculous. 30 minutes to get a drink, then another 40 to take our order. The food was hot and delicious, came out in a timely fashion but the server wouldn’t have known that because he never returned to ask. (The calamari was chewy, but tasted good. We couldn’t have sent it back, because there was no one to tell) He never offered a second drink? It was weird. We got there at 6:30, we had a reservation and were seated immediately. They had enough help, and didn’t leave until 10?

    The waitress was mildly friendly, It seemed like us was to much effort to be pleasant! The Caesar salad was the worst that I ever had! Prices were to high for the amount of food that we received! My husband and I came to the place of dining for 12 years ! It was really great, not so much now! I was very disappointed in everything! He passed away 6 years ago!!! It was wonderful then!!!

    I had the duck.. The sauce was a bit bitter and the vegetable was spinach with a mystery mush of some sort. I also had the Caesar salad with anchovies. The salad dressing was blah. The lettuce itself consisted of several long pieces of romaine spears that were difficult to cut. I would never go back.

    Great food. I’m never disappointed here. Our waiter would disappear; we had to find some one to take our order. After asking 3 times for some lemon, I got it myself.
    

    Cafe L'Europe - St Armand'sResponded on April 26, 2023Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We try to exceed any and all expectations, even our own, but on occasion we miss. It sounds like this might have been one of those days. If you wouldn't mind, please reach out to me at your earliest convivence: jharwood@cafeleurope.net I would love to make this right if possible and have you back here at Café L'Europe. Best regards, Jim Harwood Dining Room manager
