Sarita a Restaurant

Jim Brinkman

First, but not foremost (that's the food!), any restaurant named after my favorite subdudes song is a huge plus. Next, service was outstanding! And the food- hey, I went to culinary school-and I'm not sure I can find the words. Let's start with the app specials- fresh, local, and beyond in both flavor and plating! Entrees, including specials, raised the bar further. Never had a less than superb meal here. Whenever I'm in town I make sure I get at least one meal here. (Hint: get the hot chicken. I live in the south and the collards and corn bread taste like they were transported in!)

Such a unique vibe. I didn’t know what to expect from the outside. Going in, everyone was friendly. Our dishes were perfect. I love pasta, so I ordered the pasta with crabmeat. It was very delicious. Probably the best pasta I’ve ever had. Please give a thumbs up if you find this review helpful.

I'm telling you, it's been a while since a Cleveland restaurant has blown me away with their creations... Another fabulous dinner at SARITA in Lakewood. We enjoyed a bottle of Cline Viognier to start which paired well with our first course of rstd blue point oysters topped with a dollop of Calabrian ppr Hollandaise with perfectly crisped bacon shards and fried spinach.... omg, so incredibly good! You have to try this!!! We followed that with the tuna tartare with a Sriracha aioli and deep fried plantain chips, a perfect execution laced with fresh clean flavors of sweet citrus and cucumber, complimented by the Sriracha aioli was just enough to burn the lips after consumption. We then followed the tartare with the special of the day ; Day Boat Sea Scallops seared perfectly and set in a pool of lemon Beurre Blanc with Fava beans, mushrooms, leeks, and fingerling potatoes. There were 6 scallops each the size of a half dollar or better, fresh and sweet such a good price for 6 gorgeous scallops i might add... We shared dessert Which was the signature dessert of Sarita; a dark chocolate torte consisting of layers of dark chocolate cookie crust, a center layer of what seemed to be a chewy dark chocolate Ganache topped with a dense chocolate mousse and whipped cream drizzle on the plate of a raspberry coulis... Enjoyed with two Gran Mariniers. Best dinner in Cleveland in a long time. What a truly delectable dining experience. If you haven't been, I highly recommend Get to Sarita, you'll be blown away. Sorry I didn't have shots of all these dishes...I was totally hypnotized by the food and experience....

Nice ambient place for a romantic or special occasion. It's a bit on the costly side. I liked the BBQ braised ribs. They were well cooked, soft and tender.
