    We came here for a Sunday brunch. The atmosphere is wonderful. The food & service were great. The guy playing music did a wonderful job. I did find out it is 150.00 per adult to get a day pass and it only includes the pool.

    Jack Dusty is really a great place! Every time I come here, the food is consistently delicious, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The servers here are kind and welcoming. And of course, being at The Ritz-Carlton adds its own magic. I love wandering around the property before or after a meal it’s truly stunning and peaceful but even though I’ve spent a lot of money here I am not always greeted with respect by the employees on property. This has happened a few times Esp considering I have family that lives at the residencey here/are members. Which is the only reason it’s getting 4 stars from me Other than that if you’re looking for great food, excellent service, and a beautiful atmosphere, Jack Dusty is truly a standout. Highly recommend.

    Came for brunch. I was the only one who ordered off the menu; the rest got the buffet. Now don’t get me wrong I love a good buffet and this one looked great, but I preferred not to eat like a glutenous pig, so I got the avacado toast with eggs over easy and a side of bacon. Absolutely delish and the trimmings on top of the toast were spot on. My tastebuds thanked me and washed it all down with a great cup of cappuccino.

    Here for the first time to celebrate my wife’s birthday. I found this place by googling Best Seafood Restaurant in Sarasota. It is located in the Ritz Carleton Hotel which is situated right on the harbor with great views. Complimentary Valet parking was handy since there is no parking nearby. We were seated immediately outside with a nice view of the harbor. Our server Brooke made our experience we wonderful. The menu is limited but that is not necessarily a negative. We were waited on by a team of servers. I ordered a Negroni and my wife had a gin and tonic. We had the shrimp cocktail which I felt was not as fresh as it could be. I was expecting jumbo shrimp but they were average size. A highlight was the brown maple bread which came backed in a tin cake. Brooke served us explaining the origin of the bread and the name Jack Dusty. My wife had the mahi mahi which she said was delicious. I had the Red Snapper. It was a huge serving. I had filled up on the shrimp and bread. The bar looks like a good happy hour spot. Some people came just for drinks. Dress is casual. This will be a good place to bring company. Oh, my wife got her pick of desserts and the recipe for the bread. I’m

    Amazing food. Great views. Wonderful service. Drinks were great as well. We were blown away at the portion of lobster they gave us. They were very accommodating and created a special plate even though it wasn’t specifically on the menu. Perfect place for sunset dinner.

    Sooo, Jack Dusty was surprisingly good! I’m usually skeptical about hotel restaurant, there’s often a high chance of high prices and bland food, but this one delivered. We had dinner, dessert, and breakfast here and enjoyed all of it. Tried a few different things on the menu, no clear favorite, but everything was solid. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout. Definitely worth trying if you’re in the area or staying at the hotel!

    We had a great experience. Dinner on the patio watching the sun set over the bay. Well crafted cocktails. The food was good. Our server was awesome. Will be back next time in Sarasota.
