Celebrated my daughter’s birthday. They had a postcard with their signatures to wish her a happy birthday. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. We will definitely be back. Favorites: Oysters Rock, Onion Soup, and Quiche. I will travel 2.5 hours just for their oysters. It’s the best Rockefeller I’ve had in Florida. A definite pass: Matcha Lemonade. That drink was a true disappointment. Matcha and lemonade do NOT go together. Photos: matcha lemonade and iced honey oat latte, oyster rock, onion soup, baklava pancake, quiche Lorraine, French onion sliders, steak frites, filet mignon, and mimosas.

My wife and I decided on this Mediterranean restaurant in the middle of St. Armands Circle when casually visiting Sarasota. It had been several years since I had been to these parts, but it was my first experience at the Cafe. Delicious and fresh meals, great drinks, flawless service. Will come back many times.

I stopped for lunch because it reminded me of a bistro I visited in Paris. The atmosphere was great. Lovely little restaurant. I was greeted and sat promptly. My server, Norma, no was exceptional. I was trying to decide between two entrees and she helped me make a decision. I had the hot honey sliders and Greek salad, along with a peach sangria. It was all delicious. The chicken was perfectly cooked. Tender and crispy. Everything was delicious! I will definitely be back. Such a delight!

Stopped in at St. Armands to check out the shops. Decided to grab a bite to eat at Café. The weather was beautiful and decided to sit outside. I had the Steak Fritas and my wife had the Salmon Provencal. We were not disappointed at all. The food was amazing. Be sure to stop in for dinner. I do recommend a reservation if you plan on going later in the evening or during snow bird season.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wow! What a gem on St. Armands Circle. The ambiance at Café on St. Armands is absolutely lovely—beautiful, clean, and in a perfect location. Every bite of our meal was delicious, and the service was outstanding. Manny took great care of us with warmth and professionalism, making the experience even more memorable. We’re honestly a little sad we didn’t get the chance to visit during dinner, but that just gives us a reason to come back! The bar is gorgeous and adds to the upscale, relaxed vibe. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. (Photos attached—worth seeing!)

This place is top notch! We've come here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Every meal we've had has been outstanding and amazingly delicious! And the drinks are fantastic! Added bonus is the coffee bar serving Buddy Brew, which is our favorite coffee shop in Sarasota!

This place is so cute and romantic, it does transport you to a far away place. I highly recommend the mushroom flatbread. Manny our esteem waiter was wonderful! We walked out and was reminded we're still in the U.S 😞.

This establishment is undoubtedly among the top restaurants in Sarasota or the keys. The cleanliness of the place is exceptional, with spotless bathrooms. The quality of the food is outstanding, and the staff is incredibly accommodating. Each server is attentively monitored to cater to your needs without being overly intrusive. The manager is pleasant and maintains a well-organized operation. Personally, I frequent this restaurant for a particular salad topped with salmon, which is consistently fresh and prepared without skin. The fruit served is exceptional, and the happy hour offers a great selection of wines and liquors. The pricing is very reasonable and fair. I highly recommend this establishment, for a tasteful, healthy fresh meal, John

Wonderful breakfast at Café on St. Armands We had a very nice breakfast here and couldn’t have been happier. The quiche Lorraine was outstanding—perfectly cooked, rich, and flavorful, with everything tasting incredibly fresh and delicious. Service was fast and attentive without feeling rushed, which made for a relaxed and enjoyable morning. The atmosphere fits St. Armands beautifully and is a great spot to start the day. If you’re looking for a fresh, well-made breakfast with great service on St. Armands Circle, this place is definitely worth a stop. Highly recommend.

On the hunt for another one of a kind experience. Set your eyes on the “Mediterranean soul in the heart of Sarasota” this Café is far more than that. With plenty of covered/uncovered out door seating, to the quaint cafe feel once inside. You might not notice the extravagant bar and private dining areas unless you venture off into the restaurant. The menu has plenty of options which of course you can’t go wrong when starting with an O.G. Greek salad. It’s like they knew who was coming! Eli expressed his love for the Moroccan Crispy Duck, and as the photos show it was exquisite. So eye catching and packed with beautiful aromas from the sweet potato’s and glaze that the guest across from the way went with the duck as well. To tie everything together, Abby treated the table with the Lemon cake. Which was still warm from being freshly baked. To be able to sit and enjoy such delicious options one year after being completely devastated by Hurricane Helene, goes to show the heart and soul put back into this beautiful city. It’s worth stoping in even if you only want a cocktail or coffee durning happy hour. You won’t be disappointed. Truly special thanks and gratitude to Abby and her entire team.
