Sangria Tapas Bar Restaurant is by far my favorite place to dine in Sarasota. The atmosphere is always upbeat and the food is excellent. I'm happy to see they added outside tables and I noticed they are also open on Sundays. Sangria is a great addition to Main Street and it's a great place to bring friends. Season is here but it's sure worth the wait to get in.

My girlfriend and I went to Sangria's this afternoon for lunch and were we surprised at this restaurant! When we stepped inside the decor grabbed us immediately. Very Spanish colorful dining room. Very inviting! Carlos was our waiter and very pleasant with a nice smile. We ordered the sangria $4.25 for a very generous glass. I had the Red and my girlfriend had the Rose. Both were absolutely terrific. We sampled each others. Next time and there will be a next time, we will try the white sangria. The waiter brought our drinks and a nice plate of spanish bread with a nice wedge of butter, soft to spread. I tried the Tostada de Pisto which is toasted bread topped with sauteed garlic, eggplant, peppers, onions, zucchini, manchego cheese and olive oil accompanied with a mixed green salad $4.95. My friend ordered the Gambas y Aguacate which is a shrimp salad with fresh avocado and onions, tomatoes on a spanish bread $7.25. We shared the two and they were just delightful and very filling. We than ordered dessert which was called Platanos con Caramelo that consisted of saute bananas and vanilla ice cream topped with goats milk and caramel and pistachio nut. It was not only wonderful but the presentation was just as good. $5.95. We are going again next week to try a couple more of their small dishes. This is a Keeper!!!!

Sangria Restaurant seems to be the talk of the town so I had to see what it was all about. Let’s just say it was the best meal and time I had in awhile. The food was just to die for and the pan perdido bread budding was the best I ever ate. I tried all three sangria flavors and the red was my favorite. The staff was very friendly and the service was excellent. I will be sure to tell others and go back with friends to enjoy more Tapas dishes.
