A restaurant where 115 years of tradition are transformed into excellence! Everything we tried was very tasty and to call out waiter just "a waiter" would be a huge understatement. I'd rather refer to him as a "food expert and advisor". Highly recommend!

Excellent as always. 1905 salad rocks. Sangria’s are delicious and fun. Salmon stuffed with shrimp and artichoke hearts with tomato and asparagus baked in parchment paper is amazing. Stuffed shrimp outstanding. You can’t find another restaurant like it.

Had been better part of 20 years since I rolled through St. Armand’s and, happily, the Cuban sandwich is as delicious as ever. Great spot on the circle and Bill was a great server. Knows the history and makes your meal great.

Perfect place to try cuban food. Awesome taste, service & ambience in the heart of Sarasota. Loved the food & service. Bread was great too. Dog friendly patio. Street Parking is available all around the Armands circle.

Just wow! I had to get the Cuban and the 1905 salad and it did not disappoint. Chadwick made sure we had the best service during our visit. It was a treat to watch him prepare our pitcher of sangria. I will be returning to the Tampa location soon!

What a delicious visit!! Our waitress was amazing along with everything else we got. We all ended up tasting everything each other got because it was all so delicious!
Surprisingly the most favorite thing we ended up trying was the meatloaf sandwich. You must try it!!!!

The food was really good with good service. Made a reservation and had no wait, with a choice of inside or outside seating. The place was crowded, but did not seem cramped, there was enough room between tables that you felt you were alone. WE had the paella, black bean soup and the 1905 salad. The food is high quality.

The tapas sampler is great! The crab, mussels, and queso fundio were all excellent.
The service is great, and while not cheap, it is very reasonably priced for the portion size.
The wait staff is good and atmosphere nice but it gets very busy so be prepared for a wait.
Worth stopping at for sure if you are in the area.

My husband and I went here for lunch today and were blown away from start to finish! Our waitress, Sierra, was super friendly and attentive. The food was incredible! Even the bread they brought out before food was spectacular. We ordered the black bean cake tapas, gazpacho soup, and their famous Cuban sandwich. The black bean cakes were wonderful, the gazpacho the best we've ever had, and the Cuban sandwich huge - it also came with plantain chips! We shared a flan for dessert that was so light, creamy, and sweet. We had such a wonderful experience!

I've been there several times, and I'm leaving my review now. Every single time it was a pleasant experience. I love the way they prepare and mix the salad next to us before serving. I can't count how many different plates we ordered as a family but I can assure you it was a lot. If I'm going on vacation to the Sarasota area, I won't think twice going back there. My suggestion is ordering their paella if you like it. It's amazingly tasty!
