Reviews for Figaro Bistro in Sarasota, FL
Just so good. 5 stars for food, service, atmosphere and wine. Quality food and authentic dishes. We enjoyed our first time so... much we went back the second night in a row! The owner was kind enough to find us a table in short notice (it?s a smallplace) The French onion soup is superb, we had the cheese plate and escargot to start. The first night we had the filet and thegrouper- both were great, fresh and well portioned. The second night we had the risotto and the scallops/mussel dish. Thescallops were some of the best we?ve ever had. Highly recommend, all around gem! Read more
We had an excellent dinner and service at Figaro Bistro this past Tuesday. Jerome was our server and he was fantastic. The five... of us all ordered different items, and by the time we were done eating, we were all so pleased. The ambiance is very nice aswell. It's an intimate dining room and every seat was filled, so reservations are suggested. We will definitely be returning.Although I didn't order the seared duck, I did have a taste from one of the other plates and it was so amazing. I'll be orderingthat the next time for sure. Read more
If you are looking for AUTHENTIC, AMAZING and DELICIOUS french food with a Paris bistro sidewalk cafe atmosphere, look no... further than Figaro Bistro on Hillview in Sarasota Florida. Owned and run by a wonderful french family, David is the chefextraordinaire who makes exceptional food, and Camille is the front of the house, hostess - bartender- greeter that keeps therestaurant feeling like just that - your neighborhood place to eat. She remembers and recognizes you and loves to make you feelat home. Food to make sure you taste...moules & frites (mussels and homemade skinny fries that are so yummy, and cooked withthe perfect crispiness; french onion soup with loads of cheese; the black grouper - ooh lala melts like butter in your mouth;the dover sole with capers, to die for; pate; the sea scallops (of course delicious, we're in Florida); the creme brulee fordessert is heavenly. They have an amazing selection of french wines and of course champagne as well. But don't expectliquor...and don't expect to be served italian prosecco or california wine. Cami and David prefer an authentic frenchexperience to accompany their amazing french food. So the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Its small, but Cami runs it with efficiency. Reservations are available - but don't wait to book for a weekend or popular time, as it fills up fast. There isalso sidewalk and bar seating. Cami and David have created a slice of France in Sarasota. Although they've just had their oneyear anniversary, This bistro is sure to be here for years to come, and I can see them expanding because of high demand. FigaroBistro Sarasota Florida is some of the best French food, and rivals that of great Parisian famous bistros. Its open Tuesdaythru Saturday 5 - 9 /9:30. I'm waiting for a brunch/lunch to be added on. When they do - I will be the first in line!! Don'tmiss this new Best Restaurant in Sarasota! Read more

Excellent ambience for fine dining.. Escargots are so tender and soft. Sea scallops and mussels are cooked perfectly retaining... the juice and tenderness. Beef cooked medium rare is very juicy! Read more
