- MMarkTampa / Central Florida West •2 reviews5.0Dined on 25 May 2026Where should I begin? When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised at the atmosphere, and the beautiful and classic accouterments one would expect for a fine dining experience. We were not disappointed. We were seated, pleasantly greeted, and our drink order and bread arrived quickly and LuLu who helped us with our experience was superb. My wife and I never get out and are located locally. It was a day date for us on Memorial Day. The service was incredible, and times to perfection, the food was beyond our wildest dreams delicious, as were the beverages. Even the soda water with lime I asked for was just perfection. Everything was beyond what we have ever experienced anywhere else. Then the experience really began, and was a surprise to us both. LuLu insisted we go sit on the bow of the outside area, and had a gent open an umbrella for us. She brought us complementary champaign, and our bill which was never a rush. Then when we were both discussing ice cream parlors to visit after, she arrives with more champagne and sorbet on the house as well. What is going on here? We felt as if we were (as I write this I am getting a bit teary), VIP guests of the Ritz. My goodness, I don't know what else I can offer in words. Our day was perfection and it was all because LuLu and whomever supported her efforts for my wfei and I. Every single person we encountered (hang on, wiping my eyes) was the epitome of what I consider the most important things in life. - Kind - Thoughtful - Considerate - Generous - Ingratiating - I could go on. Whomever reads this, please do give them all the support and kindness you can. I salute you all, and this starts with your leadership and it goes down to the most wonderful person we had the pleasure of meeting. LuLu. Our thanks to you all with love in our heart, Koogz and Diana KulagaMore infoJack Dusty Coastal Cuisine and Crafted Cocktails$$$$• Seafood• Sarasota•4.5
