“The VEG Eatery is Amazing Food with Very Friendly Service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 March 2011

My Wife and I have eaten at "The Veg" four times a week for the past two months. Why? Because in all of Sarasota, no other restaurant serves such fantastic food without all the salt, the fat and the cholest. The Scallops nobody in this town has the quality or the size.The Smoked Amberjack, again nobody in this town even serves it.
The Veg Burger, you tell me where else such an outstanding tasting, great presenation burger of this kind exists?
We order glasses of Wine, unless they over fill the glass, you can 't pour anymore wine in it. I have noticed though, that nobody walks through those doors without being greeted, regardless of how packed they are. We eat both lunch and dinner and never ever have we had a single comment or complaint. I do not want the place to be bigger and lose it's incredible tasting, personal touch dishes. It reminds me of a great Eatery in Tribecca, or SOHO, the prices are excellent, and you feel like your among friends, not strangers. The water tastes unusual because they use different natural flavors every day I asked. I tell everyone about this place because there is no Vegan/Seafood restaurant like it anywhere within 50 miles. The Chef comes out of the kitchen to make sure your dish is exactly what you wanted. What other restaurant does that.
I don't work there, I don't own it, I don't am not part of the place, but having lived in Sarasota for 40 years and eaten at dozens if not a hundred different restaurants, nothing compares to this place. NOTHING

“Really good food, but.....”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 March 2011

I agree that the food is very good. We have eaten here several times and it has been consistently good. However, they are pretty stingy with their wine pours, and it's not inexpensive. Also, it's hit or miss when you walk through the door; they may or may not acknowledge you right away, even though it's s tiny space. We'll try a couple of more times to see if things improve. Otherwise, there are many, many great restaurants in Sarasota.

“Great Restaurant But...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2011

I loved this restaurant the first few times I visited. Now I am reluctant to go there because I want A) more choices or B) some variation in the menu. It is my belief that restaurants with a short menu should make changes at least with the seasons if not more often. If a restaurant has a broad selection it really isn't as important.

My colleagues and I had lunch there today and enjoyed the food. A change from the ordinary. muffaletta, portabella mushroom burger,basa fish tacos and salads all excellent choices. Very fresh. Will try the salad nicoise next time.mmm..
It is a not a large room but it accomadated the six of us and there were at least ten other tables filled.
The only odd thing was the waiter who was wearing makeup...oh well

“Sensational”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 July 2010

What a surprising dining experience at "Veg", a new local restaurant in the Gulf Gate area in Sarasota, Florida. The food and the service were absolutely impeccable. And, the owners and their staff (their children) are so delightful we look forward to going back often for more gastronomic offerings.
