Rose & Ivy - Steak, Sushi, Cocktails

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rose & Ivy – Sarasota Our first visit to Rose & Ivy, and we were truly impressed. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Even though it was the coldest day of the year, the restaurant felt cozy and welcoming—exactly the kind of place you want to linger. The building itself is historically enchanting. Be sure to visit their website to read the fascinating background on the building—it adds an extra layer of appreciation to the experience. There are so many great options on the menu, it was hard to choose. We started with the Crispy Beef Spring Rolls and a Sushi roll. Both were outstanding, and we’re already looking forward to returning to try more appetizers. For our entrées, we had the Kung Pao Shrimp and the Korean Bone-In Pork Chop—both were incredibly flavorful and beautifully prepared. What really set the evening apart was the hospitality. The owner took time to visit with us, and the chef even gave us a behind-the-scenes tour, which was such a special and unexpected touch. A fascinating building, extremely delicious food, and exceptional customer service. We can’t wait to return."

"This place is an absolute hidden gem! We came for a girls’ night out and were treated to the full experience—live music upstairs, phenomenal service, and sushi that truly blew us away. Having lived in Japan for four years, I don’t say this lightly: the sushi here rivals some of the best I’ve ever had. Every detail was thoughtful, every dish beautifully crafted, and you can feel the passion behind the food. If you’re looking for incredible sushi and an unforgettable night out, this is the place."
