5 /5 Tack: we stumbled across a fabulous restaurant in Saint Armand Circle. The atmosphere was elegant, but casual, the crisp white linen tablecloth with the backdrop of low lighting made for a perfect night. The intimate setting of a classy seafood restaurant that also offers meat options was absolutely perfect. This is a true find in Sarasota if not all of Florida. We first began with a complementary appetizer of a smoked salmon pate served by our lovely waitress, Christin. after the appetizer, we had a delicious warm basket of bread which included homemade wheat rolls and garlic twists with plenty of butter! We started with a flatbread appetizer which was a smoked salmon flatbread it had a grilled cauliflower crust, sun-dried tomatoes, capers, radish, olive oil, oil, lemon, dill, cream cheese, red onion, arugula, and black mission, fig must I say it was extraordinary! we then had to dine on a delicious big beautiful bastard burger it was a half pound of Australian Wagyu, burger, full smoked blue cheese, cognac, caramelized, onion, applewood, smoked bacon, fried quail, egg, kimchi, tomato, aïoli, shaded winter, pure gold truffles, and it was delicious on a 24 carat, gold Portuguese sweet bread bun yes that is true and white truffle Parmesan beer battered french fries I thought at that point I had died and gone to heaven you must get this burger. It’s gorgeous and delicious my dinner partner for the night had a salad. she was so full from the appetizer and flatbread however she chose the Martha’s Vineyard salad, a raspberry maple dress greens, blue cheese, red onions, and toasted pine nuts. She said it was the best salad she ever had. Kristen are wonderful waitress suggested for dessert and array of so many different pastries made in the restaurant yet I chose the homemade Dubai chocolate bar. Must I say it was scrumptious I even took a little home. At the end of the evening, we took a picture of the manager, Brendan. Brendan was all decked out in his holiday best attire he was friendly and showed me some other parts of the restaurant which you can see in the photos crab and Finn is a definite must for anybody in the Sarasota area. I can’t wait to go back again, so enjoy and I hope your meal will be as wonderful as ours was! apologies for the incorrect grammar. I’m having computer difficulty today, but I wanted to get this review out there for all of you that might be looking to go to a restaurant this holiday season.
