Gecko’s Grill Pub - Sarasota County

I fully expected bar food when I arrived. I ended up being amazed. I got blackened chicken Mediterranean style with artichokes and spinach with black beans and rice and roasted vegetables. I could only eat most of it. In fact, if I had room for dessert I would have just saved my leftovers for that course.Also, Amanda was efficient and engaging. But the amazing thing is that it is obviously a great atmosphere when someone like Chris, who 's not even your server engages with you when they pass your table.All great people, but without great management, it 's hard for even the best people to be this amazing doing such a high paced and stressful job.Kudos.

The Salmon Lunch menu was great. You have to try it.

Such a wonderful surprise for bar food ; exceeded expectations in every way!

Staff was super accommodating of our party and food was solid. The special korean brisket bowl was an amazing Asian fusion recipe. (NOT Korean cuisine) portions were HUGE! Dietary restrictions: Good and honest descriptions of gluten friendly meaning it could be contaminated from the kitchen.

1992 salad was half the size of the past and had next to no meat.Waited half an hour for them to clear our table and ask if we wanted dessert. They didn't have the dessert we wanted.Shocker!!! Have been coming here foryears. Can't do it anymore. The staff that's good has to cover for the rest. It shows!!!.Got to go. Just got the other dessert we ordered 15 minutes ago. ⁹
