"August 17, 2024 Two for dinner before the SRT show at 8 pm. We got single crab cake app and the shitake escargot . These TWO items were fantastic!!!! My wife thinks naming and promoting something as 'cheese ' or as escargot/snails that is really mushrooms is dumb. So having said that she like the mushroom appetizer and we both love shitake and most all of the mushrooms We ordered a Caesar Salad as this is one of my wife 's go to favorite salads at a few Sarasota restaurants with obviously the croutons and the dressing and of course the copious cheese shavings and chunks making the main SAD diet ingredients and hyper palatable dopamine triggering aspect of it so enjoyable?? She wanted to see how a vegan substitute might fair? I had hope a thick shave cashew or parmesan vegan attack and a creamy thick vegan dressing might result, but the dressing was almost void of notice and there was no grated or shaved cheesiness at all. It was not really a contender for a very simple Caesar salad. Just a thin white wetness on the leaves. For our mains my wife got the Love Loaf in a tomato soup as she tries to stay away from white potatoes because of her Lupus and other stuff. The presentation was fantastic and a host of fresh colors and vegetables was a wonderful site. The Love Loaf itself was just okay with a lot of ingredients and flavors but nothing stand out. The accompanying broccoli in her dish was distractingly sugary/sweet and the carrots almost a candied sugary item We just did not like that. I got the Pan Roasted 'smoked ' mushrooms. This was accompanied by a broccoli mash. The mash was ok. Like the loaf I am sure it has lots of good things in it but it was so processed and mashed it has no distinctive character or variety of flavors or textures? The 'smoke ' or the cooking process for this was NOT to my liking. It just tasted like liquid smoke and very artificial and a bad taste in my mouth. The mushrooms were very nice and fresh but overall I would not try this again. I think this has a lot potential but instead of trying to make substitution foods for snail, meat, barbecue, pizza and cheese eating folks maybe a few awesome whole food plant based minimally processed and prepared and mix entrees? So with that I wanted to say in closing this was NOT an inexpensive meal either? we cleared the cash register w/gratuity over $160 for two? We will probably give it another go, but be very selective and ask a lot of questions before we order."

"My family is a 3-generation customer of Bert’s Diner. The service has always been great and the food plentiful and delicious; however, today’s visit has tarnished this history. We typically eat in the dining area where it’s routine for me to ask for a box at the end of the meal. What was different about this time? For the first time ever, we ordered direct from the carry-out counter. When we got home, I was surprised to see less than half the portions I’m accustomed to seeing from Bert’s. I ordered the haddock meal. When we are in the dining area the meal typically includes 2 full slices of haddock taking up nearly half the plate with the remainder of the plate typically overflowing with french fries, partially hiding the hush puppies.Thinking we had ordered the wrong meal, we called them to ask about the portion size difference. The manager said, “we only put 7 pieces of haddock in the carry out meal.” So the two slices of fish in the dining area is limited to 7 pieces cut up like chicken nuggets in the carry-out version, and the overflowing plate of fries becomes 14 at the counter. And the price remains the same… $14.99. When we said if this is what they’re changing things to we would likely not be returning, the manager said ‘ok.’ Like ‘no big deal. Whatever.’In the end, the food was still good and the people were not rude. I’m just very disappointed in the portion-to-cost difference between the dine-in and carry-out versions of the same meal. We will *not* be returning to Bert’s Diner carry-out again."

"let me start saying this place has fabulous pizza. when we moved to arnold, we tried many pizza places in the opposite, in the hope to find a place to call ourselves, and that was always our time. her Detroit style pizza is our personal favorite, but we have nothing from the menu we did not enjoy. with what is said, we were recently really discouraged by their lack of customer service. my man and I wrote about their website to place a special order in advance and the request they let us know that we would receive a response within 24 hours. Unfortunately, we didn't hear anything. no problem, I understand that people are busy and honestly hope that they are so busy with business that maybe is back to emails, which falls on the side. After we waited a few days, we decided to just call to see if we could place the order in advance instead of trying to go through the website. the person at the other end of the phone told us that after talking with the administration, they did not accept our order and abruptly ended the call. truly, we were cheated on by this experience. it made us feel that spizzico doesn't really value their customers or their business. in a time when many small businesses are struggling to come by, it has felt that they do not want our business and that they do so well, we should take it elsewhere. we hope this is the case because we do exactly what we will move forward."
