Here Are My Top Restaurants in Sarasota Coastal Areas
Sarasota's Restaurants that I've Always Admired
Does Brand Matter in Restaurant Industry? My answer is always yes! A brand represents the sum of people's perception of a brand's customer service, reputation, advertising, and identity. Owning a restaurant is perhaps the most lucrative option for these days. After all who doesn’t love to cook and eat? Eating is a social thing. Here are my 5top favorite restaurants in Sarasota County.
The Shore
The Shore, located just south of Anna Maria Island on Longboat Key, is a mere 15-minute journey from the island and neighbors Mar Vista, another remarkable eatery on Longboat Key. The Shore serves up exquisite coastal cuisine complemented by a romantic and picturesque view that's worth mentioning in a letter home. The act of dining in a social setting has a unique way of uniting people. Food is inherently social; it ties us to our surroundings. It's the distinctive look and feel of their brand personality and the trust they inspire that sets them apart. This establishment truly embodies that spirit.
Brand experience is the sum of all the sensations, thoughts, feelings, and reactions that individuals have in response to a brand.
Mar Vista Beach House, Long Boat Key
The Dockside Restaurant on Longboat Key provides authentic dockside dining, an extensive drink menu, and a picturesque oceanfront view. The restaurant boasts a strong brand identity that is immediately apparent upon entry. Mar Vista features beautiful outdoor seating with views of the scenic Sarasota Bay, creating a relaxed atmosphere that's perfect for socializing and enjoying conversation.
Brand identity is your overall brand visual image. How your establishment communicate your product, message, look and feel to your audience.
The Beach House Waterfront
This beachfront treasure offers seafood and island-inspired dishes with the unique option of dining on the sand. There's also an exceptional restaurant boasting charming outdoor seating with views of the Gulf of Mexico. Dining in a social setting that fosters unity among people has its own special allure. For those who are passionate about the outdoors, the Beach House restaurant is truly the perfect spot. The view alone is the primary reason we cherish being near the beach so much.
Eating is a social thing. Food connects us all. Food connects us to each other, to our own pasts and identities/memories, and nature and its original. Food connects us to the world around us. Again, eating is a social thing. This is why the look and feel of your brand personality, image, brand trust is important. This place really shows that.
KOJO, Downtown Sarasota
This restaurant uses all the senses to create an emotional connection with the audience from sight, feel, smell, sound to taste. KOJO features a number of cocktails that picture worthily as well as delightful.
"It's about a connection a brand makes with its customers. This is the exact reason why customers choose you over other brands."
I believe people crave good food experience in downtown area. They know well that food plays with your senses like many other forms of art. The art of culinary is also a story telling form of conversation piece. How we see food is a reaction on how the object appears to the senses. This place nailed it.
SELVA, Downtown Sarasota
Another restaurant uses all the senses to create an emotional connection with the audience from sight, feel, smell, sound to taste, SELVA made one of my favorites. SELVA is a Peruvian eatery dishes up inventive ceviches & sizable cocktails in a chic room with elegant decor. Brand loyalty has very little to do with prices or money. It's about a connection a brand makes with its customers. Brand loyalty has everything to do with how consumers perceive your brand. This is the reason why customers choose you over other brands.
First Watch, Downtown Sarasota
Another restaurant uses all the senses to create an emotional connection with the audience from sight, feel, smell, sound to taste, First Watch made one of my favorites. Food plays with our senses like many other forms of art. The art of culinary is also a story telling form of conversation piece. How we see food is a reaction on how the object appears to the senses. Like fine art, food visual provides immense pleasure through colors, textures, patterns, fragrance, tastes and arrangements. First Watch truly understands its brand core value!
Sell the Experience, Not Just the Product.
Old Salty Dog, Lido Key
Relax and enjoy the scenery with your next outstanding meal at one of Sarasota's finest waterfront restaurants. Recently, at a beloved waterfront locale, the hostess guided me through the bustling dining area, onto the patio, and beyond the throngs to a serene table just inches from Sarasota Bay. The water's hues were breathtaking. The Old Salty Dog, a staple on the waterfront, offers seafood and island-inspired dishes, complete with beachfront seating. It's another superb eatery that provides gorgeous outdoor seating with panoramic views of the Bay. It's an experience not to be missed.
"It is bursting with flavors, has a cool history, caters to veggie lovers, turns comfort food into a party, and makes eating a social adventure."
Dry Dock Waterfront
The Dry Dock Waterfront Grill is a laid-back bayfront favorite, offering seafood specialties, a dockside patio, and fish-themed decor. The restaurant boasts attractive outdoor seating with vistas of the picturesque Sarasota Bay, fostering a tranquil ambiance cherished by both locals and visitors. The Seafood Linguine is among my favorite dishes on their menu. The sautéed lobster, shrimp, and crab meat linguine is certainly a dish worth mentioning. It's no wonder the restaurant has garnered numerous awards over the years.
