Private Dinner with Chef Nick & Danielle

No Comments

Owners of Focaccia Sandwich & Bakery in Sarasota, FL.

Tom and I love food! So when we heard Chef Nick was catering private dinner parties at his restaurant we jumped at the chance! Nick doesn’t mess around! He and Danielle us high-quality ingredients and both have genuine love for food. It was a pleasure to have them host us.

The dinner menu was curated to perfection, the ambiance was lovely with gentle candlelight. This food was like nothing Sarasota has to offer at this time. Course after course, we were all blown away! If you have a special occasion coming up or just want a unique night out with friends I highly recommend a night at Focaccia Sandwich & Bakery.

Say Cheese!

Yes, please to cheese! The Artisan Cheese Company in the Rosemary District.is a great little spot. I recommend pairing your board with a crisp Rose or Sauvignon Blanc. I’d say it’s the perfect little spot for a lunch date.

A Slice of Heaven in Sarasota!

No Comments

One of my favorite places in Sarasota is Selby Gardens. It’s pure magic! When we have visitors The Selby is always on the list of “must sees” and now that they have The Green Orchid by Micheal’s on East you can indulge in a beautiful lunch after a morning of strolling the gardens. One thing you must understand is thereis nothing mundane about these gardens. My husband and kids love a visit! Side note, if you live in Sarasota, Lights in Bloom at Christmas time is unreal (I’ll do a follow-up post on that magic). So take my word for it and make it a point to visit this very special place.

Now to nerd out a bit…The Green Orchid by Michael’s on East is the world’s first net-positive energy restaurant. In addition, the restaurant uses organic produce from the rooftop garden as ingredients in their drinks and dishes…dreamy!

Swag Bag for Guests!

A little treat to welcome our guests at Four Palms. For my sister’s visit, I went a little kitschy with some quintessential items from our local surf shop. Florida Orange Bubble Gum in the mini carton (takes us back to our childhood vacationing in Melbourne Beach, FL), a Siesta Key koozie for those cold beverages, hydrating water, and animal crackers as a homage to Sarasota’s rich circus history.

Sarasota Living is a whole lot better with this restaurant in town! All I can say is Tumeric Fried Chicken Sandwich! Of course, there are other delicious eats on the menu including the sweet corn hummus, fried brussel sprouts, and house salad (the dressing is amazing). The vibe is super chill and there’s a cute area for kids to play!

Just go!

Owen’s Fish Camp

You haven’t truly explored Sarasota without a visit to Owen’s Fish Camp. You step into a whole new world the second you walk past Tate (a lifelike statue of a dude holding a beer). The craziest thing is the location is right in downtown Sarasota! Relax with a cold beverage while listening to live music under a canopy of trees…it’s amazing trust me. My girls love that there’s a tire swing in the yard, yes a tire swing! We take all our guests to Owen’s because it’s a special place that we have grown to love.
