Met up with a friend for a girl date and had the most flavorful food I’ve had in ages! Such a delight, and the atmosphere is upbeat and colorful, yet grounded which is a hard balance to strike. My only hesitation in giving 5 stars to service is that our waiter wasn’t as attentive as I’m used to. I didn’t feel ignored but didn’t feel quite taken care of either, and the waiter asked us if he could bring us the check as if he needed the table. Even so it won’t stop me from coming back and bringing friends. It was a lovely meal. I wish I could list everything we ordered, but I can’t recall the names, and after our appetizers I stopped taking photos to just enjoyed the moment.

Amazing food. Some of the best I’ve had. Super cool interior. Wonderful service. I can’t wait to come back.
Get the rainbow bowl to get a good variety of types of food they serve. The fried eggplant is the best way I’ve ea,ten eggplant ever.
Interesting and balanced cocktails. The staff is personable and helpful.
It’s so weird (and wonderful) to have such an earnest and good restaurant in the middle of this area full of high end clothes and furniture stores.

Loved the quirky interior & enjoyed sitting outside the covered patio. There were lots of fans to keep you cool. Our server, Alejandro was fantastic. Knowledgable about the menu & was great at making recommendations. The brown butter hummus was so tasty & unique. The butter & pine nuts were a nice touch – the size of the app is perfect for 2 people & we even had some to bring home! The pita served with it was good & fresh. For entree’s, we both opted for the skirt steak kabobs which were nice & tender. The slaw that came with it was unique & complimented the kabobs perfectly. We also shared a brussel sprout side that was tasty as well. An enjoyable experience & dining pleasure!

Exceptional eatery. Very fun and festive decor and vibe. Great food and unique curated menu. Side salad was phenomenal – could have literally eaten that for lunch it was so good. We ordered hummus and a burger though and both were excellent. Can get busy and limited staff so could be a wait but it’s worth it.

This place is more than a restaurant, it is a full EXPERIENCE. The vibes and decor are stunning. Right when I walked in I was sold.
The food was INCREDIBLE. Not only was it delicious but everything was absolutely beautiful. Prices were fair considering how amazing and stunning the food was.
I have only 1 word of caution. To anyone who orders the “Watermelon Sugar High” they are not kidding. She is STRONG. Maybe I’m a light weight but I left the restaurant flying. It was delicious though.
Highly recommend the food and can’t wait to go back.

My family and I are visiting from New York and when I researched restaurants, this one caught my eye. The atmosphere was so artistic & unique, our waitress Amy was so kind & attentive, and the food was OUTSTANDING. There was an explosion of flavor & love in every bite. The cocktails are also so creative & delicious. My mom went into the kitchen to compliment the chefs. We can’t wait to come back!

From a food truck with great food to the restaurant in The Landing to now this location at UTL, Florence and the Spice Boys generate a great culinary experience. First time at the UTC location, and the vibe is great. Went for happy hour: great prices and really tasty food. Service was wonderful, attentive without being annoying. Lots of people, but never got loud so easy to sustain a conversation. They’ve done a great job in creating a fun spot in Sarasota

Cool decoration and nice atmosphere. Foods were average and a bit expensive. French Fries wasn’t good, they were too dry. Not much choices for entrees. Service was friendly. Maybe next time coming for drinks not dinner.
