My friends and I could not have picked a better venue or be more happy with Clasico Cafe and Bar in Sarasota on Main Street! A week ago we called in a rsvp for a large bachelorette/engagement dinner party. Then when I was eating dinner near by I popped in to check on our rsvp and ask basic details (about champagne, balloons, cake, etc) and the owner Ken himself came over to talk to me and was very nice; he gave me his business card for a final headcount later on in the week and even texted me the day of our party to confirm that the champagne we wanted would be chilled and ready and that our table was set and good to go! Unfortunately we had several last min cancellations in our party but they were not upset with us at all and our experience was very enjoyable and not stressful at all. Dale the manager was very nice and took care of everything for us girls the day of our dinner party; he came outside and met us, brought our giant cake inside personally and set it up for us on a beautiful special cake table, let us girls sit and mingle together and chat amongst ourself in the vip lounge couch area where we enjoyed appetizers and champagne, and took it upon himself to help us put finishing touches on our last min decorations (balloons, table favors, confetti decorations, etc.) We had one server for the entire large party named Max and he did an amazing job taking care of us girls; appetizer plates cleared away as soon as we finished, unused glassware and plates cleared as soon as we finished, the champagne was always topped off, helped cut and serve the cake for all of us, and both Dale and our server took care of us the ENTIRE night and were exceptionally attentive. I’ve previously worked in hospitality and the food industry and immediately notice small gestures and dining etiquette from servers every time I dine out, and really appreciate having a good server!!!! We dine out not just for the food, but for an enjoyable experience. :) Not only was it a beautiful, comfortable, perfect venue for our large dinner party, and the service was amazing, but the FOOD was exceptional. Everyone of us loveddd what we ordered! I personally ordered beef carpaccio and the saku tuna and both were delicious as well as had a beautiful presentation from the chefs. I had previously only known of Clasico as a bar/lounge/danceclub later in the evenings, but am so happy and will definitely be back earlier in the daytime to dine in and enjoy their delicious food again! Thank you guys for an amazing night!
