    Such a disapointment!. Wanted a special place to celebrate our new home purchase in Sarasota with special friends. Service was prompt, but uncaring and not very inspiring with helping us select our meal. Salads were great, wine was good, but can’t say the same for the entre. We chose the Chateaubriand for two – clearly supposed to be a signature dish, and one of the most expensive things on the menu. Served table side the chef cut into the beef, which was raw in the middle. He left and returned after a few with a burner and pan to cook it table side. Meanwhile our guests were 1/2 way thru their meals as we insisted they eat. He ended up overcooking the beef and served it with the now very cold vegetable sides that were on the platter. Awful. Felt we could not say anything to upset our friends who were footing the bill for the evening. Caf L’Europe has always been at the top of dining destinations in all our 20 some years around Sarasota. We couldn’t have been more disappointed. Will not be recommending or taking guests or business associates there again.

    A good Savor Sarasota visit. For a couple of weeks in the summer several restaurants, including Caf LEurope, participate in offering a limited menu at a lower price than you would otherwise pay. It is a good opportunity to visit places above your price range and enjoy a multi-course meal. Still not cheap eats, but cheaper. We took advantage of this promotion.I still expect the top notch service and incredible food a high-end restaurant such as Caf LEurope should provide…and they fell a little short. Not anywhere near terrible, just a little off my high expectations.I began with the Lobster Bisque. It was a generous portion with a nice smooth texture and flavor. It was not overly salty, which my wife said was a good thing.For the main course we selected two that were also on their main menu, Dilled Atlantic Salmon and a Chicken Breast Roulade. My wife went with the salmon, I the chicken. Mine was very good. I especially liked the Beurre Blanc sauce which I had to look up later and discovered it is French for white butter. I wish there was more of that sauce. My wife was particularly pleased with her salmon, which was a high complimentFor dessert we shared Crepe Suzette, prepared tableside. I have always thought as a dessert, Crepe Suzette is overrated, and I still hold that view. This offering was not as sweet as I expected, but my wife says this is how it should be, so it was great. Unfortunately, while it was prepared tableside, it was not our table. Our server made crepes over there for a few tables at the same time. Efficient. You might as well have just made mine in the kitchen.Speaking of service, it was fine. We had a choice of seats and picked one where we could see the sidewalk without sitting on the sidewalk. Ill assume had we picked a seat in the interior of the restaurant we would have better appreciated the dcor and would have received more of a fine dining level of service.

    Terrible experience. The service was the worst… the waiter barely acknowledged our table and didn’t even tell us anything about the menu when asked and he put in the wrong order entirely. He was also very rude. I would not recommended anyone coming here unless you would like to be treated poorly…never again!

    Wonderful place. We went for Valentine’s day and the whole experience was wonderful. We had a 6 month old with us and the staff were very professional and most accomidating. Even with two spilt glasses of champagne the waitress still thought our little one was a doll. Will be recommending to friends

    Pass it by, sitting at the table writing this. Food is seriously mediocre grouper was tasteless, plain, chicken the same nothing fancy. My son rejected his pasta as it tasted like frozen food. Changed for a burger to at least eat something. Do not waste your money here this is like eating at picadillys cafeteria. Service is good but food is not and we eat out all the time. Going to kilwins to try to save the night.

    Great place..I had lobster bisque and the duck for main. Probably best bisque I’ve had in a long time..entire staff awesome !! overpriced, not enough to complain about, I usually only write reviews if pissed off but this place is just plain great. Make reservation and its that much smoother. Wife is very pickey and she told me to write a review…She is European and loved it. Maitre d’ sat us at a great table. Trust me…… delicious

    Attention to detail. Recently visited for an early meal shared with my wife and our little dog. We were seated at a great outdoor table and were offered an early dining option as well as a doggy specific menu ( she had steak tartare ). Food was good but the atmosphere and attention paid by the manager was impressive. We will be back to this lovely restaurant.
