Figaro Bistro - Modern French restaurant in Sarasota - 1944 Hillview St, USA

We had an excellent dinner and service at Figaro Bistro this past Tuesday. Jerome was our server and he was fantastic. The five of us all ordered different items, and by the time we were done eating, we were all so pleased. The ambiance is very nice as well. It's an intimate dining room and every seat was filled, so reservations are suggested. We will definitely be returning. Although I didn't order the seared duck, I did have a taste from one of the other plates and it was so amazing. I'll be ordering that the next time for sure.

Excellent ambience for fine dining.. Escargots are so tender and soft. Sea scallops and mussels are cooked perfectly retaining the juice and tenderness. Beef cooked medium rare is very juicy!

The food, service, ambiance... It is such a pleasure dining at Figaro's, it was like walking into a Paris bistro! Chef David's dishes are delicious. The wine list has a variety of French (no other countries) wines that are wonderful. The service is very attentive, Camille and Jerome were fantastic. Highly recommend treating yourself to a night at Figaro's We each had an appetizer, entree, wine and dessert.

My wife celebrated our 30th anniversary here on Friday, May 6, 2022. This was our first visit. We're so glad we choose Figaro Bistro for the occasion! The ambiance, service (by owners!), food, wine and setting were superb. We'll be back. It's a special place. Lovely.

What a wonderful experience! The staff was warm and welcoming. The atmosphere is beautiful. The food was fantastic. I started with the escargot, which was so good I forgot to take a picture, then the scallops which were cooked to perfection. I finished with the creme brûlée, a delicious treat! This quaint trip to French cuisine is a must. Make reservations!

Just so good. 5 stars for food, service, atmosphere and wine. Quality food and authentic dishes. We enjoyed our first time so much we went back the second night in a row! The owner was kind enough to find us a table in short notice (it’s a small place) The French onion soup is superb, we had the cheese plate and escargot to start. The first night we had the filet and the grouper- both were great, fresh and well portioned. The second night we had the risotto and the scallops/mussel dish. The scallops were some of the best we’ve ever had. Highly recommend, all around gem!
