" A hidden gem in Sarasota! The moment you enter Rick's, you can smell the tantalizing aromas of French cuisine. The staff is welcoming, and the service is prompt without feeling rushed. The French onion soup was the best I've ever had! Perfectly gooey melted cheese on top, and the broth was rich and flavorful. I also loved the beef bourguignon. It's clear that Rick's takes pride in their offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Rick's was a mixed bag. While the ambiance and the food were superb, the service fell short this time. We had long waits between courses, although the waiter was nice when he did come by. The duck was well-prepared, and the wine selection was good. I hope my next visit has better service, as I would love to see it persist. " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot recommend Rick's enough for anyone craving authentic French cuisine! The food is consistently delicious, and I've yet to have a meal that didn't impress me. They set the bar high for French restaurants. I indulged in their onion soup, and it was the best I've ever had. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m a frequent visitor of Rick's and I can never get enough of their food! Each dish is filled with authentic flavors that remind me of my travels in France. The duck confit was succulent and the cream brulee was divine! The only downside is, sometimes the tables are too close together, making it a bit noisy when the restaurant is packed. Regardless, the food is outstanding, and I keep coming back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a superb little restaurant! I've been a fan of French cuisine, and Rick's did not disappoint. I had the vichyssoise, which was perfectly seasoned, followed by the tender beef bourguignon. The atmosphere had a nice rustic charm to it, although it got a bit noisy when the restaurant filled up. Definitely a must-try if you love French food! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful find! Rick's Restaurant truly captures the essence of classic French cooking. From the moment you step inside, you're transported to a charming bistro. I thoroughly enjoyed the filet mignon and the escargot—both were cooked to perfection. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it a perfect setting for a romantic dinner. Highly recommend making a reservation as it's a small place that fills up quickly! " (*Curated Review*)

" The small bistro is bursting with charm and authenticity. My friend and I ordered the classic onion soup and the duck, both prepared beautifully. We enjoyed every bite together with a glass of red wine. The owner explained the menu and made excellent suggestions! Just a reminder, make a reservation because it's small and fills up quickly!
