We live about an hour away and have dined in a few Sarasota restaurants. Wanting to try something new we checked Trip Advisor and chose this restaurant. There's a reason why this place is so highly ranked. You could easily drive right by this place in a small strip mall well south of St. Armands. It is very small which... more

My family of five dined here to celebrate my daughter's 19th birthday. Cozy, eclectic atmosphere that accommodates both family and romantic dining. The hostess was vibrant and helpful in our choice making, and helped make the dining experience a memorable one. The food is, overall, very good but pricey. Definiteloy a special occasion kind of place. The featured fresh fish... more

My wife and I have lived about 1 mile from Deja Vu for our last three years in Sarasota and would never have thought about eating there without Trip Advisor. We are glad we found it! This is a quaint Bistro in a strip mall right off of Gulf Gate drive near Tamiami. Once inside you will definitely forget you... more

When looking for a new privately owned and operated restaurant to share a speciial dinner with my wife, I stumbled upon a jewel. Deja Vu has been in Sarasota for a number of years tucked away in a strip of businesses along Gulf Gate Drive. Having called to make a reservation earlier in the day and being captivated by the... more

My family and I were pleasantly surprised at the personal service and excellent meals this small 30 seat restaurant offered. The wife's owner took care of us and impressed us by remembering each of our three children's names throughout our dining experience. The meals were homemade and prepared to our liking. What personalized service! I would suggest early reservations as... more

We live full time south of Sarasota, but were planning for dinner and a movie and I read about this restaurant on Tripadvisor and Chowhound, so we gave it a try. What a wonderful experience. Small, relaxed and sensational. Every dish had very fresh ingredients and could be made to order, orders split, sauces switched, etc. The crab and shrimp... more

Having just gone to Deja Vu last nite for dinner I can tell you it was excellent. We have been there a number of times but just for lunch, which is also great. Service was first rate and the prices are resonable . Would highly recommend it for lunch and dinner. TA more
