All staff, from the hostess to our server were friendly. The food was great and perfectly prepared. On a nice table there is a lot of outdoor space to take advantage of and the parking lot has been expanded which was a great surprise. Whiskey Joe's is a great place to go to for a fun time. We've never had a bad meal here.

Absolutely delicious! Started with the Parker house rolls and the giant meatball…the best! We had Caesar Salad, chicken parm, Cioppino and the Osso Buco. Everything was outstanding! Service was fabulous as were the drinks. Love this restaurant and love Fabio! Would love to meet him during one of our trips!

From the moment we sat down, the service was exceptional! The food was delicious and the follow up - even a personal phone call today to see how everything went last night - were top notch. We were celebrating a birthday and retirement. We were all made to feel special. I highly recommend this restaurant!

I was celebrating my wife’s birthday today and her mom joined us as well so it was a special day for us. I had swordfish and it was fabulous! My had the triple tail and she enjoyed it very much, although it was a lot of food so she did bring home leftovers. Her mom had the spaghetti and meatballs which is always a good choice. There is a wood fire oven and a fabulous selection of pizza available and I highly recommend the pizza as well. I have had the pizza before and it is sublime. Definitely worth trying. There is a very nice selection of wine and the drinks are always good. I love the choices of single malt scotch too. If you have not been here, I recommend you go because you won’t be disappointed.

We had a birthday luncheon outdoors overlooking the marina at the Ritz Carlton. The service was great with Lulu taking care of us. There were dietary restrictions which she managed gracefully. We all enjoyed the entrees. Birthday dessert with Lulu’s voice singing a beautiful Happy Birthday.

We were visiting and invited our local Sarasota friends who had never been to the Beach House. They kept saying, “you could not have picked a better place”! Everything was perfect…the view, our toes in the sand, the reservation support, the food…and our server, Gunner, was a gem! He knew we would be lingering and he did not rush us one bit!
