The new restaurant is terrible. Décor - while it is upscale and obviously pricy - doesn't fit the style of the Ritz. The service is slow and the selections limited. It is the worst presented food I have ever seen! We used to eat here often - we will NEVER go back again. It has pretty well turned me against... More

Fabulous service that the Ritz is famous for. Outstanding location and amenities. However, we were not informed that the hotel was undergoing renovation while we going to be there. That left only one restaurant in the hotel open. The service and the menu were sketchy at best. Fortunately, there are many restaurants in the area. The golf course was outstanding... More

We live in Sarasota few years and like to go and experience new restaurants. The new bar and restaurant in the Ritz was redesign so we were very excited to go. The design was lovely with great views of the water and boats and we were getting excited. Lovely waitress gave us a whole history of the "jack dusty" the... More

We booked with high expectations because it is the nicest hotel in the area. The dining room had the aura of "fine food served here" and maybe on a different night, it might have been acceptable.

When we came back from dinner we had 2 beautiful cupcakes and a nice card for the Birthday girl. These little touches make the... More

One of the best dining experiences to be had in Sarasota, Cafe Vernona serves both lunch and dinner in an elegant atmosphere reminding one a bygone era. The food, service and surroundings are excellent - and the three-course prix fixe lunch is a deal - especially when enjoyed on the outside terrace by the bay. Salute!
