What a treat and so unexpected!
The Grill has excellent food and service. The elegant but inviting restaurant has fresh flowers on the crisp white linen tables.. just a touch of class in this intimate adult dining room. We started with the calamari.. just great! The lobster roll and club sandwich were fantastic. The generous club sandwich boasts lots of white turkey and delicious bacon, served on a multigrain bread. The natural cut fries were perfect, maybe a larger portion could be had as this side dish. The lobster roll was one of the best, if not the best ever on the West coast of Florida. The grill has a variety of menu options… we went for something light for dinner.. and we can’t wait to go back!
Helin, the lovely hostess was welcoming and charming. Jill, our server, had the most delightful personality, as well. You don’t need museum admission to go to the restaurant, so go and enjoy your experience , it’s surely will make your day.

Excellent meatball sub, they take the time to put it through the broiler and that makes all the difference. The waffle cut sweet potato fries were also good. Nothing is worse than steak cut fries. Crab cake was also excellent, they don’t load it up with red peppers like other restaurants, who seem to not want you to taste the crab. Try to sit out on the patio, inside is a tad tight and a tad loud. Location photo is from our table.

A real gem to be located inside the ticket building for the Ringling museum.
Cloth napkins with linen table clothes. Nice presentation dishes, with plenty of food.
Why wife got the fish tacos and a G salad. I got the chicken Panini with sweet potato fries. All very good. Our waiter Judge was great.

Very nice restaurant, not noisy, the food was good, the papardelle was not long as usually should be but it was of good quality, overall it is an excellent choice in the airport area. The Créme Brûlée was also good. The wrap and sandwich also great.

Really great view. Good food. Quick turn around from order to table delivery. Appreciated that the table was sturdy and actually balanced. Eating outside you can get a crappy made table that wobbles. Not here. Order a really healthy dish that tasted good. Didn’t taste like I was eating dirt. Both meals were delicious.

They anticipated needs, offered excellent recommendations, and ensured every aspect of the meal flowed seamlessly. It’s clear that customer satisfaction is a top priority here.

The flavors were exquisite, showcasing high-quality ingredients and expert culinary skill. Whether it was the appetizers, main course, or dessert, each bite was a delight. The menu offers a wonderful selection, and everything I tried exceeded my expectations.
Dining at The Ringling Grillroom truly elevated my overall experience at The Ringling. It’s the perfect complement to a day of exploring the museum and grounds.

Visited the Ringling Grill before entering the grounds of the Museum. It’s very open and busy. I have no idea what the name of the drink was but it was delicious and tasted like Peach Cobbler so I had 2. The Club was also very tasty. As you can see I left no crumbs. Will definitely be back when I’m back in Sarasota.

Exceptional food. Beautiful scenery and vibrant atmosphere. Easter special brunch menu was beyond my expectations. Small service hiccup due to overwhelming number of guests, I guess, but still 5* with no doubts.

One of the BEST burgers. The truffle burger was beyond delicious, juicy tender burger. My companion had the shrimp tacos and said they were excellent. You get to choose your side- no upcharge and great options. The G salad had nuts, feta and a magical dressing that was so light yet tasty on tender greens.

The wait at lunctime was incredibly long since the place isn’t that big, and unfortunately it wasn’t really worth the wait. The food was really overpriced, especially considering how rough it was. The eighteen dollar taco plate came with only two tiny tacos, the burger was literally charred and burnt on the outside but near raw on the inside (turn the grill heat down its not that difficult I worked in a restaurant) and the ravioli they brought us was not only the wrong order but tasted like it was plopped on a plate then microwaved before being brought out to us. The green beans were good though. Overall a disappointment although the server was very kind about the mixup and brought out a new meal. It is conveniently located in the museum which is enormous (there’s multiple) so it made a nice break between looking at everything.
