Sarasota dining?

[1handsomenole]

My girlfriend and I are going to Sarasota this weekend...staying downtown at the Art Ovation hotel.

Unlike me, she prefers trendy upscale dining. I'll concede this time, as long as it's within walking distance.

Suggestions from the LR?

I got nothing for downtown. Only St. Armand's Circle and the Salty Dog.

OP: If you have seafood, you may wish to inquire about its origins. You don't want your food to be tainted by the red tide/algae bloom along the SW Florida coast.

Then again maybe not ......He may be looking to get rid of the high-maintenance GF.

Having been married over 20 years and knowing what a big part “so what do you want to eat?” plays in daily life, my suggestion is run.

And as to the "I'll concede this time..."

That's funny and I sometimes question my sanity in this relationship. I do, however, need to feed her...

Is Carmichael's still open?

Do you tell her to put the lotion in the basket or get the hose again?

All the seafood restaurants there are suddenly running surplus specials.

Euphemia Haye is my favorite there, out on Longboat Key, worth the drive.

Selva Grill (walking distance). Get the flank steak.

Owens fish camp: cool spot for seafood and good atmosphere. (Walking distance as well)
