Reviews for The Ringling Grillroom in Sarasota, FL

I'm so happy I decided to come here after my flight got delayed! Absolutely an amazing deal. I recommend sitting outside where... there is a gorgeous view of the beautiful gardens and ponds. I got the shrimp and scallop polenta and it was delicious,perfectly cooked. I also got the creme brulee and it was ridiculous (good)! Best creme brulee I've had in a long time. ChefLydell came out to talk to each table individually, and was very thoughtful, let alone very talented! Read more

This is a lovely classy restaurant to stop and enjoy a delicious meal after touring the multiple museums on-site. Delicious meal... with friendly service in a beautiful location! Read more

This place is a hidden gem! The menu, the service, the view, the beautiful interior ... I could go on but you will undoubtedly... find even more reasons to love The Ringling Grillroom. I have been here with guests of all ages and everyone finds something onthe menu that appeals to them. For grown-ups, their cocktail menu and wine selection are above and beyond for such a smallplace. Truly though what has always been consistently impressive are the people who work here, they're knowledgeable, friendly,and efficient. Even if you don't enjoy the museum, make plans to spend time here! Read more

The food was amazing!! The salmon was sumptuous and juicy, deserved to be in the favorites category, glad I made the right... decision to get it; decided to order dessert too so I got the crème brûlée and it was just the right amount of sweet. Read more

Our server Carol was great. We'd never eaten before but we had hungry out of town visitors doing a visit with us to the... buildings and grounds. They all had tacos and I had a burger. My burger was cooked just the way I like it - medium well andwith an unexpected mushroom. We'll go here again when more guests want to go to visit. I would recommend a reservation, whichwe had, as the wait times were very long. Read more

We tried the heirloom tomato and it was one of the best salad dishes I’ve ever had. Fresh, tasty, flavorful… just delicious.... Service was a bit cold at first. But overall we liked it. And it’s a great addition to this beautiful museum. Read more

Convenient after a long drive to the museum. The view was great and the waitress was friendly. Everything we had was great. I... had the bahn mí wrap, and my partner had calamari. Drinks were nice and strong. Read more

We were lucky to find this hidden gym! You can visit even if not touring the museum. Everyone ask for Bob!! The food was amazing... and the turtle pond entertaining. The food is wonderful! Read more
