801 S Tamiami Trail, Nokomis, FL 34275

Overall Rating

Review


I first began eating here about a month after it moved up from Northport where it was already known and revered. The menu is varied, always organic and there are generally several gluten free items, including GF wraps, which are unusually good. As well, there are often daily specials and they are concocted with great imagination.

Presentation is especially good and the staff is knowledgeable, quick, courteous and delightful. Your hosts, Ted and Annette Weingarten are often available for a quick chat or - often - checking to be sure everything is right.

The location is interesting, too, should you want to look around the neighbourhod. Directly behind the restaurant is Rum Runners Antiques, voted Best In Nakomis for the second straight year. Wonderful items! And next door to that is the charming art gallery, The Cottage, displaying a wide variety of unique art, jewelry, pottery, photography and other art forms, very reasonably priced and of very high quality. Additonally, during "season", the third saturday of each month provides a delightful "Market On the Green" with a surfeit of both arts and crafts.

You'll be back to this area often!
