Get here asap, best place around!
It’s mostly fish restaurant, if you expect to eat seafood, as I did - check another one. Food good, personal friendly. But too costly for average fish dishes.
13 of us family members from many states in the US gathered for an unbirthday party at what looked like a modest store front seafood restaurant. Ordered beer and wine happily chatting before dinners arrived. We couldn't stop commenting on how good the food was. I ordered Maryland style crab cakes and i will not be satisfied with any other cakes in the future. Chunks of Rock crab with perfect blending of breading and spices. Each bite was rewarding with the sauce. The corn salsa vegetable was so fresh, so original it should become a staple everywhere. The rice, never tasted rice I wanted to eat as a main course before this rice. A must try! Others ordered can cakes WPC, meaning with corn (on the cob) and potatoes, lots of them. So if you are not a big Easter, it's too much food, yet cooked perfectly. Worth the price. Good service. Be glad this restaurant is not on the water where prices would have to be jacked up. Truly gourmet food. I've been disappointed with ALL key lime pie so usually will not order but someone else ordered some and like the crab cakes i loved, I found what real key lime pie was meant to taste like. To bad we flew back to CA. We'll miss another dinner at Reef Cakes.
Refreshing originality! Cakes and sauces were all delicious. Everyone in our party ordered different dishes. One person ordered the “old Greg’s “. A perfectly cooked and seasoned cheeseburger. Service was outstanding. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the Sarasota area!!
Amazing experience at Reef Cakes! The food was very unique- we ordered El Jefe, Caesar salad and Reef cakes which were very delicious and full of flavor. The owners were personal with their customers- they knew them by name. It is a must try in Sarasota!
Had a fantastic meal here today. My wife had the kale ceaser salad with a side of potatoes, I had the Happy Hippie veggie burger and a starter of salmon bites. Sorry we ate to fast, but here is a picture of some other food that was being served to the table next to us.
A little gem of a place in Sarasota. The blacken grouper was the best I have had in the entire county. Thanks!!
Great food and great service
10/10 wood recommend. I’m not a seafood person but my husband definitely is so I hate it when places focus on seafood and all non seafood items are just an afterthought. Not at all with Reef Cakes! The place has a super cool casual but upscale young costal vibe, great menu selection and phenomenal staff! My husband got the Bubbas shrimp burger (the sauce is boss) and I got the West Palm Beach with chicken-SO GOOD! We shared the key lime pie for dessert and holy cow! Honestly the whipped cream was the show stopper for me! Amazing flavor.
