Z's Restaurant And Bar - Sarasota

My husband and I just moved from Boston. Looking for a place to eat. We went to Z's they advertised lunch special roast beef with frits... Food was great!!! Home made Fön Fritten and the roast beef was so fresh with roasted bread..so delicious my husband got a Bacon Burger, he said it was brilliant!! Jaime, the bartender is the best!! She was very social with us, made sure that we were satisfied with everything. Jaime is a jem behind the bar!! Great food and great service!!! Thanks Jaime for the best lunch and service!! Z's you got a great bartender and the cook definitely knows what he does, as the food was great!! Will be back.

Delicious food you can't find! I had the steak salad with one side of bread and the steak strips were juicy/savory and the salad was fresh with delicious dijon dressing. I wish I had more steak strips, but oh good. The uniqueness of this restaurant is that it also has some Balkan style menus like the Balkanwurst (Keben) that is a delicacies!

Brittany was working the entire bar and seating area solo, and handling it like a champ. The food was great, and the band was rock solid.

The restaurant has a great vibe and offers some fantastic happy hour deals. The drinks are reasonably sized for the price and pack a good punch. The staff is friendly and attentive. Their food menu is intriguing, featuring a European flair. I tried the blue calamari, and it was quite tasty. The atmosphere is relaxed, with several TVs, making it a nice spot to unwind. It's located next to Smokin Joe's, but I personally prefer the ambiance at Z’s.

The food was fantastic and we had a great time—definitely planning to return! Our bartender Brittany was amazing, and the dishes were exceptional. We visited on a Friday, and the atmosphere was really chill. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Shoutout to Z's!
