Great space with a large outdoor patio! This would be a great spot for evening drinks. The service was fantastic. Unfortunately, the food was not the best. It looks amazing but the quality/taste wasn’t there. We ordered appetizers, main dish, and dessert.

Sarita is my absolute favorite restaurant in Lakewood hands down! I go every year for my birthday and the food and service is top tier every time!! My favorite drink is the Sarita. They have amazing appetizers and entrees and will often have special menu items as well.

Lovely atmosphere. Inviting, intimate, but relaxed. Chris was our server and he was excellent!! I ordered the apricot glazed pork tenderloin and it was a bit dry, but the flavors were there. I’d like to try it again and request it cooked to a lower temp. My husband had the hot chicken and loved it! I also tried a couple bits and the greens were to die for! So savory and flavorful! Our appetizer was one of the daily specials – baked goat cheese with a romesco sauce served with garlic bread. Absolutely delicious!!

We had another fantastic dinner at Sarita last night. Food was top notch as always. Our server was great conversation, knew everything about the menu, and was on top of everything. Atmosphere was energized, but not too loud. Great job by the Sarita team! Highly recommend.

The appetizers and entrees were outstanding; matched by the service provided by our server Ariel. We sat on the outdoor patio on a beautiful evening. It was an excellent dining experience. I loved the Brussel Sprouts appetizer and the Lobster Diablo special. The Swordfish entree was exceptional.

Outstanding experience! 4 of us had dinner on a Sunday and we had the best meal and service; all around exceeded our expectations. The restaurant is beautiful, the food out of this world and the service perfect. The specials that our server described to us blew us away as it was very lengthy (probably as many as are on the menu). We ordered several appetizers from the daily special and then fish plates and pasta. All of it was beautifully plated and tasted even better. We were all full at the end of the meal but squeezed in a couple of the desserts that were equally delicious. Left with a great dining experience and happy we were able to celebrate our daughter’s birthday this way.

I was fortunate to have birthday dinner at Sarita’s. The food was so good from appetizer to main and dessert. Our server, Eric, was friendly and knowledgeable. And the GM, Jenny, made sure to check on us and all the guests. She was on her game. Give Sarita a try. You won’t be let down. I will be back.

Impressed by the atmosphere of the patio, the number of specials offered in addition to the menu, and their preparation and presentation. The service was efficient and not rushed at all. I arrived before the friends I was meeting for dinner and had a cocktail at the bar while I was waiting. Inside was a bit crowded and loud for my taste, so I am glad we chose to dine outside on the patio since it was such a beautiful evening. Great experience and amazing food, I am sure I will be back.

We frequent Sarita’s quite often( at least 2 times a month). So for our 43rd anniversary I made a reservation requesting outdoor seating (fully understanding if weather permits). Upon entering the restaurant we were told there was at least a 45 minute wait for patio. Since we didn’t want to wait that long we decided to dine in where we were shuffled off to a table right outside the kitchen. Mind you the inside restaurant was wide open. Disappointed but what can you do so we ordered two drinks. I then decided to check outside just to see if there were any tables available. To my surprise, I counted 4 open tables. I politely went back to the hostess desk and asked why we were not seated outside. We were told the waiters were so busy outside and at this time did not feel they could give us good service outside. They needed to let the outside empty out a bit. I appreciated the honesty and fully understood they could be short on help etc. So I went back to the kitchen, I mean our table. Within minutes we now watch as not less than 3 new groups are escorted outside. I guess the patio suddenly had tables. If we had been told it would be a 15-20 minute wait for outside seating we would of gladly sat at the bar and ordered our drinks and waited. My mild mannered wife who never gets upset was fuming. She insisted we leave so we asked for the bill for the drinks. The owner never asked what was the problem but instead said something like” I’ll get your bill”. To his credit he did cover the hardly touched drinks. As we left I explained to him what had just transpired. Instead of realizing how a staffer screwed up and apologizing, his answer to me was that I didn’t like their earlier explanation. Apparently within minutes the patio suddenly had cleared out and they were able to give good service outside again !

Server was very attentive. He was always one step ahead. The cornbread was AMAZING! I would make the trip from the east side just for that. Next time I’m saving room for dessert!!!!
