Standard US restaurant norms apply: lunch and dinner service with a quieter stretch between, cards and tap-to-pay accepted almost everywhere, and a tip of 15-20% customary for table service. Fast food and quick-service counters expect payment up front and tipping is optional. Bars check ID for anyone who looks under 30, and the drinking age is 21 nationwide.

Sarasota is in Florida, in the Southeast, where summers are long, hot and humid, winters are mild, and afternoon thunderstorms and the hurricane season from June to November can change plans at short notice. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Sarasota follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building.

If you are looking for a fantastic spot in downtown Sarasota, Mattison's City Grille is an absolute must. The entire setup is completely outdoors, which makes for the best open air dining environment with a fun, vibrant atmosphere. I got the fish tacos and a Bloody Mary, and both were incredible. The flavors were fresh and delicious. A huge shoutout to Aaron at the bar for taking such great care of us. He made a fantastic drink and provided top notch service. To top it all off, the live music hit the spot and made the whole night feel like a vacation. I will definitely be coming back every time I am in town!

Great food, great atmosphere, and even better customer service. What impressed me the most was how much the staff and management genuinely care about their customers. Even when something doesnβt go exactly as planned, they handle it with professionalism, kindness, and urgency, making sure you leave satisfied. That level of service is hard to find these days, and it says a lot about how this restaurant is run. We left feeling valued as customers and will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

We went on Monday and there is a live band with dancing. We had a great time dancing to the waterered down rockNroll. Loved, loved, loved it. Food is typical bar fare, good enough and good drinks. People were fun and having a good time, staff were busy but very friendly and accommodating. Parking is typical downtown. Try it!

As a local I know Madisons as the place you bring family when in town. It is not one of those places that you go to regularly being a little higher priced. I've been enjoying their food for many many years however it got to a point I hadn't been in almost ten years. So while walking around my group decided to drop in and check out what is new. The staff was amazingly friendly and accommodating for my party which included a young lady in a wheelchair. The atmosphere was pleasant and service quick. I asked a few questions to the server before ordering and the Brunch menu was a great surprise after we originally studied the menu. My food was hot and good with the eggs being perfectly prepared. I will say I was not a huge fan of the Mushroom Gravy but the hot sauce helped balance that out. After this visit I will try and come a little more often since I've never been disappointed.

Big outdoor patio with a solo guitar player, solid service, and good but not remarkable food. Good: Pleasant service. An older lady was constantly checking in, asking if we were still working on our food. She forgot my ketchup and didnβt fix the shaky table, but she was nice even if not very effective. Not so good: The food was just okay. The burger was juicy and the bun was fresh, but it came completely dry no spread or sauce which felt off, especially for a $30+ dish. The pizza was decent but nothing special. Bad: The value. When you compare the overall experience to the price, it feels underwhelming. Final rating: Neutral, 3β in my book.
