Overture Gallery Lounge - Sarasota

My wife and I had a wonderful dining experience at Tzeva last night. The service was very friendly and professional. The food was excellent! Standout dishes include the falafels, lamb loin shashlik and the white bean hummous to name a few. They also have a nice wine list. I strongly encourage a visit by anyone looking for an excellent interpretation of Mediterranean cuisine. Don't forget to enjoy the artwork that the hotel has to offer.

The restaurant is perfect before a Florida Studio Show. Quiet, great food, close to the theater. Veronica is an excellent wait staff- quick service and very attentive. This was our second trip and we loved it.

Food was not anything to brag about. Rice wasn't fresh tasting and lukewarm warm. Chicken skewers had too much fat. Salads were adequate. Chocolate creme brûlée was delicious

Steven our server was engaging, professional excellent. We mentioned our next stop was theater, so he asked us up front what time we wanted to leave allowing leisurely walk to FST will call desk. From that info, Steven planned/timed the arrival of our parade of small plates perfectly, two at a time instead of all small plates at once (which I truly hate because that crowds the table the hot items are cold by the time we get to them). GREAT SERVICE! The falafel here is the best I have ever had this is my 4th time ordering the falafel it's consistently incredible . My friend declared her TZEVA cosmopolitan was the best she's ever had.

Good flavors but fish kebabs served cold, long waits for service throughout, used appetizer plates not cleared, had to ask for water refills, dirty floor. Disappointing experience despite good reviews we had seen.
