This is going to sound crazy but i had the best Breakfast Sandwich Ive ever eaten in the middle of a car dealership while getting my oil changed! Sarasota Ford used to have a very simple cafe, a food court type area for very basic needs/wants; coffee, sodas, sandwiches, cookies. It was nice. Im not sure who decided why they needed to change this and spend what looks like an incredible amount of money to remodel and revamp everything. You walk in and you forget where you are. Its a restaurant! Its an elegant design. You dont order at the counter. They ( in my case a sweet young lady) seat you and hand you a menu ( not a piece of paper). They come back take your order and bring it to you. There is real, beautiful silverware. A real glass with ice for your coke. Beautiful dinnerware. No plastic or paper. Even the ice was delicious! The breakfast sandwich was made to order, not microwaved. On brioche bun, thick cut DELICIOUS bacon, PERFECTLY fried egg with a drippy, sumptous yolk, aloli, tomato and lettuce.i was blown away lol i was lucky enough to have been given a card by the Quicklane attendent, just like they used to do, to have what i wanted...for free. I tipped the sweet server, deservedly so. Hours later im still mindblown and wish i knew why Ford went to such extravagance as its not like the public can really treat this as a public restaurant...or could they, not sure...parking would be tough and there is seating for maybe 20 at full tillt (guessing here i shouldve counted). I hope employees get a discount because the prices on the menu are not cheap but the quality certainly is up there with any restaurant if my breakfast was any indication. I also would like to know who decorated. Ill scoot around the web for any info. Thanks Sarasota Ford. I dont get out much besides fast food these days and even that is becoming out of budget. I...
Read moreI had purchased my truck at a different dealer than Sarasota Ford but followed my salesman, Damir, to Sarasota Ford since I have a lot of respect for him and he had moved here recently to pursue different endeavors. I had not been to Sarasota Ford in a few years and was pleasantly surprised to find they replaced the cafe (which was great in it of itself) with a full feature sit-down restaurant. I had scheduled my truck in for diesel service and was going to sit down in the waiting area to do some weekend work when I was greeted by Keishaly at the Le Mans Kitchen. I had been given a voucher by my service rep and wasn’t expecting anything near what I encountered. In all honesty, if I had known the high-level environment this was, I would have dressed better for the occasion. One doesn’t exactly dress up for an 09:00 hours truck service on a Saturday morning. However, Le Mans gives the recently opened Ocean Prime a run for their money. I think I was the first person in there and the service from Keishaly was phenomenal!! Keishaly, you are a wonderfully pleasant and genuinely nice person and the manner in which you served myself and other patrons this morning is deserving of the highest awards! I ordered the open-faced egg croissant with coffee and it was utterly extraordinary!! The presentation, taste, freshness, environment, and experience is nothing that one would expects in a dealership. OMG, seriously, never going anywhere else again for service!! The professionalism of the staff was above reproach. The fact it was complimentary boggles my mind! Sarasota Ford, who ever devised this, “outside the box” idea was genius! Thank you all for a wonderful start...
Read moreI recently brought my truck in for service and was thoroughly impressed with the experience from start to finish. Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted and informed that a complimentary breakfast was available while I waited. This unexpected gesture immediately set a positive tone for the visit.
The breakfast provided was of excellent quality, with a variety of options that were both delicious and satisfying. It was clear that attention to detail was a priority, not just in the food itself but also in how it was presented and served.
The service I received was equally commendable. Taylor, in particular, went above and beyond to ensure that my needs were met during the entire process. She was attentive, courteous, and made sure I was comfortable while my truck was being worked on. Taylor’s professionalism and genuine care made the waiting time not only bearable but actually enjoyable.
Overall, the combination of a well-prepared breakfast and top-notch service made this one of the best experiences I’ve had while getting my vehicle serviced. I highly recommend this establishment and sincerely thank Taylor and the entire team for their...
