Super nice place with a great atmosphere, friendly service, and quite possibly the best burgers in Sarasota.

Strand
Great atmosphere and excellent service. We also really enjoyed the red wine. The crab appetizer was good. The meat was quite dry, and there were so many jalapeños that they completely took over the flavor of the dish. A little more balance would make a big difference. I’d also happily pay a few dollars more for a better quality beef patty. With a few adjustments, this could be a much stronger burger.

Lucky 8
First time here and we really enjoyed it! We both went for the Double Smash Burger with potato salad. The burger was juicy, full of flavor, and came with cheese, pickles, and Lucky sauce on a sesame bun. The potato salad had that classic mustard taste and was really good too. Lots more on the menu we want to try. We’ll definitely be back!

Evelyn's
Evelyn’s is one of my favorite restaurants in Fort Lauderdale. Located inside the Four Seasons, it offers a stylish yet relaxed atmosphere, excellent Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, and consistently warm, professional service. Whether for brunch or dinner, it’s always a wonderful experience and well worth a visit.

Buccan
The spotless, well-organized open kitchen immediately impressed us. We shared several dishes, with the tuna crisp, ricotta-filled squash blossom, hot dog panini, and sweet corn agnolotti standing out. The red snapper and Wagyu short rib were perfectly cooked and full of flavor. A creative and delicious experience!
