Maybe my expectations were too high but really I just expected quality food especially for their obviously excessive prices! My guests and I were ALL disappointed as the food was cold, quality tasted like it came out of a can, over-priced, inexperienced service, and generic NY wanna be ambiance! What a joke. Ive been a long time patron to local restaurants and know a lot of people in the industry, and even after all the negative things Ive heard about management at Sarita, how they waste pounds and pounds of food every night instead of donating it to those in need, how they only hire young attractive boys because of owners preference in them and ability to under pay them and work them to exhaustion, how theres not even a hand cleaning station in kitchen, I could go on and on...I was still willing to give them a try. Epic failure. Hoping to save you all some time and for sure some money to keep a bad taste out of your mouth!

Just an empty place with no lively environment. Food is good at times. Nice selection of wines but not really a good selection of beer. its bit expensive. Even after paying price you cant have a WOW experience, there is no quality. No late night service either. I have been there few times I liked the layout but there is something missing at this place. I am giving it 2 stars not because food was bad or anything else but the overall experience was not good enough. It seems like an upscale place but its in the middle. I wont mind paying the price and giving it good reviews of it had that component where customer leave with a smile. Maybe I rated it because I am not a regular (saw few of them) I saw it as a customer and the quality of service provided.

The executive Chef greeted us from the hostess station. I said "Hi Chef, what do you recommend tonight?". He replied "Grouper". Ok. "Do you have any recommendations for a vegetarian?" I asked. "You came to the wrong place" he glowered. And, he made no recommendation. We waited 45 minutes to hear the specials. At an hour, our server took orders for appetizers. My squash ravioli (sans bacon) was doughy, inconsistent in texture, lacked flavor and was certainly not worth $24.00. The Chef was right. I went to the wrong place. He can be sure I wont make that mistake again.

Go to be the best restaurant on Clevelands Westside in terms of cuisine, food quality, wine offering, decor/setting, convenient parking, and more. At least one server is newby and can be trying working with her. Dont go here expecting the former restaurant, Players, resurrection. Vegetarians have no problem with salads, but will have problem with starters and entres. Kitchen, however, can take the veggies on the menu and give you a tastefully done dish youll be pleased with. Our party particularly enjoyed the fish entrees.

A modern spin on a simple ideal: Give people good service and great food in a comfortable environment. From the moment I entered until I walked out, I enjoyed myself A LOT. Had the chicken breast with greens, mashed potatoes, pears and the Brussel sprouts. Ive had saltier fried chicken, but I havent had better. Sorry mom. The greens were really good, with no trace of bitterness. Greg was an brilliant server. Will give 5 stars on my second outstanding visit. Please prove me right, Sarita.

GUYS, BRING BACK THE FRIED BANANA SPLIT DESERT PLEASE. :D This is my favorite restaurant in Lakewood, hands down. Although a little on the pricey side, its worth every penny and I never leave feeling unsatisfied. Ive been here about six times. The service is exceptional, and the waiter (we had the same guy a few times in a row) really knew his stuff. Id recommend the Ahi Tuna, Lobster Penne, and the Sugar Cookie(?) (alcoholic drink) is also really good.

First time at Sarita and I was blown away with how amazing the food was. Took my girlfriend for her birthday. Our server was Mark and he was outstanding as well. Fantastic service. Their cocktails were incredible as well. We did have dessert, we opted to try the donuts and coffee ice cream. One of the best desserts I have ever had. Thanks Sarita for making a great night that much better!

Great Happy Hour (several well priced not-so-small plates, and cocktails, wine, beer) , and lovely setting. Only misses on 5 stars based on cost when it isnt happy hour. The food has been great on just about every visit, and they definitely have some unique offerings that I havent seen at other restaurants in the area (specifically Native American fry breads which are delicious).

Sarita is definitely worth checking out. The menu selections are varied and well thought out, the atmosphere can be whatever you make it. Date night or just hanging with friends, its a great spot. Our waitress could have been a tad more attentive, but she was accurate and kind. Beer selection is minimal, cocktails were solid, food was very good.

Sarita earns all the stars. Good service and overwhelming amount of great menu choices. My girlfriend ordered the Misty (prosecco/rosemary syrup/orange puree cocktail, really good), and would also recommend everything we ate, navajo fry bread, goat cheese arancini, and our entrees, although they were specials not on the regular menu.

This restaurant is amazing! I had the molten bleu cheese encrusted tenderloin. My date had the braised short rib. I must say that Ive tried many different restaurants. The food, service and people are phenomenal! Excellent. 5 stars for sure. Cant wait to come back.

On our first visit ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING was Done well. Service was excellent and the food was delicious. We were seated on the patio with several other first time diners II enjoyed the fried green tomatoes, with the tenderloin as my main course.beef tenderloin ad

First time here. Fantastic menu with an additional 8 specials. Food was great. We shared 6 different plates. Server was busy, but took care of us well. We saw a couple of great little known wines on the menu. We sat out on a very nice little patio out back.

I only came here once for a food tour and I was so impressed. They gave us delicious wine to paid with our dish. We had a gnocchi shrimp dish with corn, jalapenos and a beautiful white sauce. I was very impressed and cant wait to come here for a full meal.

Wow do these guys know what theyre doing. Lakewoods best restaurant. Best Caesar salad Ive ever had and the tenderloin is fantastic. Get the coffee and donuts for desert. Everything is really, really good here.

Disappointing flavorless bouillabaisse. The broth was closer to a cream sauce. Not much seafood for the price and it was all over cooked. The best part of our meal was the waiter, who was smiling and exuberant.

I like this place. They never have a problem when we bring my 1-year old in (part of that could be because hes well behaved and super cute). Food has always been excellent and the staff is all very nice

Great experiences. Players fans wont be disappointed. Servers are iffy (some are legendary, some are oblivious), but the kitchen knows their stuff, no doubt. Great date spot, the patio is top notch.

Momo Mojito was perfection! They threw out the mint, and have me what I really wanted - cilantro! Paired with their Neapolitan Pizzette, it was a perfect happy hour pairing. Happy hour ends at 7!
