Sasha's On The Park - New Port Richey, Florida

Ally W.

We recently dined at Sasha’s on the Park, With a dinner reservation on their outdoor terrace, we were thrilled to discover that dogs are welcome outside—a major win for any dog lovers looking to stop in for a bite with their furry friends.

First off, the staff here were wonderfully friendly and attentive, making us feel at home from the start. We kicked things off with the roasted red pepper hummus, which was garlicky, flavorful, and a definite hit with the whole table!

The menu itself is fairly limited we were hoping for a bit more variety—especially in terms of shareable plates for appetizers. (Complimentary bread is available and delicious).

For mains, we tried a range of dishes, with the Vegetarian Ratatouille Pasta and the Chicken & Mushroom Gnocchi standing out (you can make the gnocchi vegetarian by ordering chicken on the side or completely without). The pasta and gnocchi tasted homemade and fresh, with fantastic flavors. The gnocchi, especially, was very filling—definitely a hearty portion! One small suggestion: adding a side salad option could be a great complement to these richer dishes.

When it came to drinks, we were given only a wine menu at first and didn’t see cocktails or other options listed. After asking, we were able to order a couple of beers and other drinks , which was nice. It would be great to see a separate drink menu or maybe a tabletop card with other available beverages for easy reference.

One other note: the burger, which a few people in our group were interested in, is only offered on the lunch menu—not at dinner. We’ll definitely be back to check out both breakfast and lunch!

Overall, Sasha’s on the Park provided a delightful and more elevated dining experience. There’s some room for improvement, but it’s definitely a place we’re looking forward to visiting again!

Sometimes, your hopes and exceptions can just let you down. We were so excited to be able to dine a Sasha's located inside the historic Hacienda Hotel on Main Street, New Port Richey. 1st, we made reservations at 8:30 PM on Valentines Day for the outside patio because we were told that was the only open time for a table, and nothing else was available. My wife and I arrived 15 minutes early. We were greeted by a chipper hoast that explained that the restaurant had a turnover and asked us to wait in the lobby of the hotel or bar whale our table was made ready. The issue with this was that there were only 2 other dinners inside the main dining room and 4 out on the patio, and we did not see inside the side dining room. Where did all that packed house go to, that we were told about? On time, we were seated at 8:30, but not on the patio. We were seated in the main dining room along the wall. Our server, Heather, was quick on her feet to have waters ready for us and officer the wine special. While waiting in the lobby, we had a chance to look over the posted menus at the entrance of the hotel, so you could imagine our surprise when the menu that we were given was a limited one for Valentines Day. (Something that should have been gone over when making our reservation over the phone and poasted in the lobby. Note: nothing online either) The limited menu was a four course meal; hors d'oeuvres, soup or salad, entree, and dessert for $79.00. Not to no fault, but my own that was not a meal for two prices as we had experienced from other restaurants, but per person. I have to tell you now, that Sasha's is full of 5 star ideas, 2 and 1/2 star quality. Our mushroom tart hors d'oeuvres were great if you could get past them being pasted to the plate. They were packed and flakie. The crust was similar to a pot pie crust. ( Sisco may have had something to do with it) My wife had the Champagne and Cheese soup. The soup was gritty, not creamy, and the alcohol not cooked off, making an overpowering flavor. My kale and pomegranate salad was like chewing cud. The kale needed to be cut to bite-sized and not the large leaves I received on my plate, and a harty serving of pomegranate would have nice, not the sprinkle given. (I can't really remember a time I had to use a fork and knife to eat a salad. ) their croutons, although neat, were fried in old burnt oil or had simply gone ransit. For our main course, my wife had rainbow trout on a bed of parsnip puree, and I, the surf and turf with shrimp, crab, and lobster (I think) Ravioli's. The trout, although good tasting, was most definitely sogy as if it had been frozen in a deep freezer years. Would have been a very nice combination paired with the parsnips puree. My Filet Mignon was cooked to perfect temperature but was tough and chewy. (Usually, Filet Mignon is a tender cut.) The raviols were heart-shaped with a thick dough and packed full of flavorless stuffing of seafood medley. Some genius topped the raviols with brown gravy (Sisco again) and a sprinkle of mushrooms. The presentation of all the dishes was nice, but lacking. Throwing micro greens at your dishes does not make 5 stars. Our final dish was this chocolate covered chocolate ice cream. Simple and a nice round off to the evening. There's not much to say about the ice cream, it's ice cream, and you mess that up. You really need to throw the towel in. Overall, it was a big letdown on our meal and we would be willing to give them a second chance, but I am no millionaire, and their prices and mandatory 20% Gratuity (even with a party of 2) is not that value we seek. At this time, I do not recommend Sasha's to anyone. No matter how much you polish a turd, it's still a turn. Maybe if they ever make some big changes to the quality of their food and pricing, and consider they are in New Port Richey and not New York City

Went for my birthday dinner to this restaurant, which is located in a historic boutique hotel in downtown NPR. I loved the history behind the place, and it was very cute. Our server Amanda was an absolute gem and took great care of us. I got the seafood pot pie and an espresso martini. They both were delicious. I am looking forward to returning to try other dishes.

So I originally went there for the snapper I had seen a pic of. Found out it’s dinner only Buys still wanted to try some of the food still. I had the French onion soup which was good but not $12 good wasn’t anything special about it. The waitress recommended the fish and chips said it was delicious lol turns out she has never had it due to being allergic to seafood lol It was $20 and was at the same level and texture of long john silvers Wasn’t good at all and the batter was soaked in grease to the point the waitress was actually shocked. Non the less I will still give them another shot for that snapper dish at dinner here sometime soon. I don’t want to let 1 bad experience with some lunch keep me from trying something else. I’ll keep you posted.

Came for Easter brunch (fixed menu). The hotel is lovely inside with lots of historic touches. Our server Elise was attentive and helpful. Bartender Patrick made us delicious mimosas to accompany our meals. We're local and have watched the Hacienda transform into a beautiful venue housing a gem of a restaurant. We'll definitely make it a regular date location!

My best friend and I frequently come here for Sunday brunch. The service and atmosphere is phenomenal! Such a beautiful building with gorgeous architecture. Our favorite server is Elise. She is welcoming, personable and knowledgeable beyond words. She always makes our experience top notch. The food is amazing too! Highly recommend the strawberry spinach salad, French onion soup and shrimp roll. It’s so good we continually order the same things along with a pitcher of Bellinis. I highly recommend trying this restaurant out. It’s perfect for any occasion whether it be just a Sunday brunch or and anniversary, birthday or random Tuesday.
