Savor the Flavors of Savor Sarasota's 21st Anniversary

Join us in raising a glass to 21 years of flavor and fun, starting June 1st through the 14th! Savor Sarasota invites you to explore the diverse landscape of our local dining scene with chef-curated menus and delicious drink specials. From nostalgic classics to the buzziest new openings, local restaurants are serving up their best for two weeks straight. 

As dozens of participating restaurants open their doors and unveil specially crafted menus, there's no better time to indulge in new-to-you flavors—and special pricing. 

What's on the Menu

Cafe Gabbiano

Savor Sarasota is more than an annual dining event—it's a celebration of Sarasota's culinary landscape and the talented local chefs who bring it all to life. While many cities host just one restaurant week, we want to ensure you have plenty of time to explore all our partner restaurants and their prix-fixe menus, featuring multi-course lunch and dinner menus for just $25 and $45 (per person). 

At Lefty's Oyster & Seafood Bar in Sarasota, choose from dinner favorites like seafood chowder, smoked fish dip, blackened chicken a la vodka and bread pudding Key lime pie. The Savor Sarasota menu at Farlow's on the Water in Englewood includes a cobia ceviche shooter, chimmi triggerfish and coconut cream pie, while La Norma Ristorante & Pizzeria on Longboat Key dishes up Nonna's house meatballs, handmade pasta dishes and Chef's Daily Dessert. In Lakewood Ranch, Agave Bandido is offering up prix-fixe Tex-Mex selections like elote, fajitas and tres leches cake. 

Tripletail Seafood & Spirits

Wondering what's to drink? A handful of restaurants will also be running special Savor Sarasota cocktails during the two-week event. 1592 Wood Fired Kitchen & Cocktails created a gin, carrot and ginger-infused coconut cream cocktail, while others are offering specialty cocktails and select glasses/bottles of wine at a discounted price to pair with your meal. 

These specially curated menus allow you to sample a variety of dishes and flavors while taking advantage of great deals. Whether you're craving classic comfort food, international cuisine or contemporary creations, Savor Sarasota has something to satisfy every palate and preference.
