The Ringling Grillroom - South Sarasota

Wonderful wines by the glass choices and a good pour! Food is consistently perfect. Great salad with the crab. Crab perfect too. I love this grille. Everyone is so happy to help insure a good experience. Carol was our server. I think she was our server my last visit too. She's polite and professional and adds to a happy and relaxing ambiance. Oh! Chef was willing to share how he/she made the squash. And bar was okay with a taste of a wine. Wonderful afternoon. Thank you. Coming back again and again. Member

Thoroughly enjoyed the food, ambience, value. We had our lunch on the patio where it was quite comfortable despite the 99 degree-plus temp.., chicen panini and the Salmon BLT were our choices with garlic mushrooms on the side. Our server was exceptional (Becky) and friendly. And ‘yes' we are members and frequent visitors of ringling.org.

We signed up for membership today and ate here for the first time. Sitting here still and felt compelled to write a review while we wait for our server. The atmosphere is lovely and very convenient after going through museums. Dawn was our server and was likely the worst service we’ve ever had. She was more than fifteen minutes greeting us, never checked on us after our food was delivered by runners and when she brought our bill still never asked us even then if everything was ok even though more than half of my plate was still intact. I won’t even discuss food because I should have gone with my original thought and tried a sandwich before going straight for the polenta with scallops. Not a great choice today.

We loved all of our food. The crabcake and G-burger were exceptional, though.

Overall this was a good experience but we did wait about 10 minutes before the server came to our table. Good was served quickly and was very good. The server did forget to bring us our beverages but they came quickly after we reminded them. It's my belief they may have been understaffed. In the past, the service had been better.
