Cilantro Grill - Sarasota

We stopped before shopping and were treated to a fabulous breakfast. I had a wonderful wrap and my companions loved their crepe and wad. the service was somewhat slow, but we enjoyed the second story view.

Ate brunch on the balcony overlooking a Saint Raman's Circle in Sarasota. We were a large group of about 15, and I have no idea how they sat us and took our orders so quickly. Food arrived Pet quickly and most dishes were $10-$15. Extensive breakfast and lunch menu with lots of good things, ranging from steak tacos to cream cheese stuffed waffles with strawberries. Kids chicken fingers appeared to be homemade and better than Popeye's (my fried chicken standard). Drinks were about $3.95 and needed to ask for refills. Not automatic refill. Don't wait, just go ahead and ask when you want one. We had a really good time. Parking garage out back is walking distance and free on Sundays.

We stopped by here looking for a brunch spot on a Saturday morning. It wasn't too busy and we were seated outside right away. It was a hot day but luckily the tables are shaded so you don't feel the heat too much. I ordered the California eggs Benedict and my boyfriend ordered the Atomica crepe. The home fries were delicious. The eggs Benedict was okay. I broke one of the eggs and water poured out onto the plate and I had to move the food to not get soggy from it. The other egg was cooked right. The Atomica crepe was pretty good. I don't like crepes. But it kind of tasted like a veggie pizza and I do love pizza. We didn't notice until the end that the scrambled eggs were in there. I guess the way the crepe was made was that the eggs were like in the inner portion of the cone so by the time we got to the eggs we were full and didn't really eat them. Overall it was a good spot, not great. But wouldn't mind coming back to try other menu items!

Great place, great food, great service.They serve big portions of food. The staff accommodated my request to add a candle for my moms birthday on her French toast and they went beyond and added candles that say happy birthday and sang happy birthday. Will definitely come back here!

Be adventurous and take the elevator up to this hidden gem! great food with an awesome view!
