The reviews of this restaurant surprise me! I got a dirty martini and was very pleased (paid 2 x more the next night for one that was terrible). We ordered all appetizers and have been craving everything we ate since we left. The shrimp Gorgonzola is rich and a must-have. The mussels were also perfection. The service was very pleasant...

We loved the food, my husband had a cheeseburger and I had a salad Cynthia. The drinks were great. We received great service and enjoyed the entertainment. Unfortunately, a couple came and sat behind us and were never given a menu or asked for a drink order. They left after about 15 minutes. Better organization of the service help is... More

I enjoyed the music but was not impressed with the menu selection, it seems to me a place to drink and enjoy music more so than dining.

We had a few less-than-stellar experiences with service elsewere on the island and around Sarasota (maybe because spring break just ended and everyone was exhausted?), but we got PERFECT service here. We showed up around 10 on a Friday night to a packed house. Obviously more of a bar scene that night than a restaurant, so we were worried we... More

Let me 1st say, my wife & I are locals. We live in Vamo & when we want to go out to a place w/ quality food, great ambiance, and a blend of great people- local & tourists, we opt for the Blaze Cafe. We have been there at least 7 times in the last year & have had a... More

Another great time here! Very crowded but Rami always has time to come say hi. The food has always been very good. The music is always something new and different. The staff is always happy and moving quickly.

Many have observed that Siesta Key's handful of bars and restaurants are tourist traps. I don't disagree, but would argue that there are probably two tiers of service... Locals or seasonal residents are likely recognized and given great service, whereas tourists or short stay visitors are given shoddy service since they're not likely to return. The Blase Cafe is certainly... More

I've eaten the Fettuccine Alfredo which is: Fettuccine pasta simmered in a parmesan cream sauce And I added some chicken to it because I was affraid the pasta was not gonna be tasty and I was really hungry at that moment. The sauce tasted like some chemical stuff. The only positive thing I can say about was the pasta being... More

Sir; We resent your description of our alfredo sauce which is one of our best sellers and for a reason. We discussed your experience with your server and you did not bring anything to her attention and most of you ate most of your pasta. Just to clarify that our sauces are made from scratch and do not contain ingredients... More
