We've been enjoying Mona Lisa for the past year or so and wish we'd known about it sooner. The two owners make this a special spot-very warm, friendly and DELICIOUS.
Fantastic food, atmosphere and service all at a reasonable price! Everything was done from scratch in house from dressings and roasts to their delicous pan bread. I cannot wait to go back!

We took our friends to dinner earlier this year and we all thought the food was absolutely terrific. The owners are friendly and courteous and eager to please. The Sangria was delicious too. We might have liked a more extensive wine list, but that would be our only complaint (don't even want to c...
Restaurant is over-rated and over priced. For the price you are better going to a restaurant with better ambience, service and better overall dining experience. CAUTION: The coupons available on line are a scam - don't get fooled..also, regardless of number of people dining, (2,4 or more) the res...
The food was MUCH better than one might expect from the general ambiance (or lack thereof). The ceviche de pescado is excellent, and the house corvina with the chimichurri was truly delicious, and came with very good grilled shrimp and a salad. Service was attentive and friendly. Will definitely ret...
Food was delicious, staff very helpful and friendly. We will go back and recommend it highly to those we know.
I was completely surprised by how exceptional the food was - I am from New York City and I was visiting and expected very little. To my surprise, the food, service and overall dining experience was wonderful. I will be back the next time I am in town!

we've been eating at Phillippi Creek for years, lately the prices are up and the quality of the food is down, last two times I was very dissatisfied, clean up is so fast sometimes you're not finished eating just resting in between, the parking is a major issue, especially during peak season, there a...
What a great place. Food, service, wine, location, value... It is soooo good. I'd keep it to myself, but the place and the people need to be appreciated. Find it, try it, and meet Pino.
Dad and I have been regulars at Shaner's for years! I can't get him to depart from his usual spaghetti and meatballs to try something different but he loves it. The chicken parmesan is my personal favorite and the pizza is always a winner. When the kids are invited, they love to sit and dine from...
Shaners has THE BEST Pizza in Sarasota county. It is just like the Chicago thin crust with real chunks of sausage not the ground up sprinkles like others. I have friends that drive from Daytona Beach to eat at Shaners. I drive from Venice.
Every time we are in the Sarasota area we eat here at least once. The owner always remembers us. She is wonderful. The food is fantastic. Please try this restaurant.
there food was generic at best. except for the salad the rest tasted like it came out of bag you would find in the frozen section in the store.
I cannot believe there is no review on Solorzano's!!!! I heard of it through word of mouth.The family that owns it make you feel like you are Family too. It is small romantic the food is AMAZING and My husband and I love it so.
Pleasurable dining is an individual thing. Thus the two glaringly opposite reviews. We have been going to Solorzanos for many years. Food is always fresh and if only I could find their quality, freshness and flavor in a bag. I would never eat out again. Very romantic and cozy and we felt like f...
I went in with my wife for lunch and to watch the football game on Sunday. I didn't realize they broadcast every NFL game on Sunday. This place was way beyond what I was expecting. Not your average sports bar. This place had awesome food, especially the wings! The service was great and the Hote...
I have been going to this bar for last ten years. It is a local place especially for hospitality employees. Sean is the best bartender in town. He is a big reason why I still continue to go to the bar. Food is really good for bar food.
This is by far the best restaurant on Siesta Key and the best new thing for the island in the last 20 years. My family and friends have been coming to the Key for 20 years and have had pretty much endured the Broken Egg and Village Cafe while there, the Garden flies at a different level.
The food...
Outstanding in every sense. The menu is very unique and filled with so many options, you could eat here 5 days in a row and still want to come back (trust me, I did just that)
