This was the biggest surprise of our Sarasota excursion, a family-run small restaurant to which we returned for lunch the day after having stopped by for dinner there. We hadn't expected much from this small place in a strip mall on the south side of Sarasota just off Route 41, but had arrived on the recommendation of friends who usually... More

Small, basic decor but really good food. Not a vegetarian, but enjoyed the fish tacos. Very tasty lunch. Even the iced tea was better than average. Many choices for vegetarians, limited options for those who aren't. Service was very friendly. More

Friendly family run restaurant. Though the daily choices might be somewhat limited, it results in the food on repeated visits always tasting good or better. Strip mall location is unassuming for a town with some bling. More

I am always wary of vegetarian places. The seafood dishes all sounded great. The scallops were great. I had a smoked fish app which was very nice as well. My wife loved their eggplant dip (I can't spell baba-ganoush?) A number of people had come just for the seafood dishes. I think they could improve if every dish didn't come... More

Went to lunch with my mom (non vegetarian). I am 100% vegan. The atmophere is very nice, more classy than hippie as many other vegetarian places tend to be. The choice of vegan food was awesome! I got the Tomato Pesto Tofu Sandwhich with a side of fruit that was so yummy. Also ordered a side of hummas and pita... More

When I first heard about a restaurant that only served seafood and veggies, I was really excited since that is essentially my diet. But after eating there 3 times (sharing 6 entrees and 2 appetizers), I will have to stick to my usual ethnic places (Asian, Mexican,...) for veggie dining. Some of the sauces were overpowering, and the menu was... More

Great, creative food. Warm, friendly, attentive service. I've been vegetarian for 25 years, and Indont miss much, but brisket is one of those great childhood memories. The sextant-based "brisket" sandwich here made me want to eat lunch twice in one day. The seafood is, I'm told, excellent. There's Jewish nostalgia food, like that brisket, matzoh ball soup, and potato latkes... More

We've enjoyed lunch and dinner at the Veg at least 8 times in the past two years and each time we are so satisfied with the menu choices and the friendly service found in this little gem. The Ahi topped salad is great as are all the soups and other salads found on the menue. The food is artfully displayed... More

What a delightful restaurant to find. I am both vegan and gluten-free, which adds a special challenge -- Veg is most definitely up to that challenge. They mark their gluten-free and vegan items, and are super helpful about it all. I got the cauliflower steak, which was such a unique dish and very tasty. I've never had cauliflower prepared that...

The restaurant is a small place in a strip-mall. Family staff is very friendly - clientele seemed all snowbird regulars. Apparently, reservations are required - but we got in with min wait. Nice, creative vegetarian and fish entree. Snapper was delicious. Go early, as they ran out of the specials. Of course, go early and you will wait! More
