This place is Fantastic ! The sidecar was yummy. Great place for a special dinner and one of Sarasota's finest restaurants. If I was going to tell a visitor to the area to visit our city's best dining experience... this is it! #localgem

Arlington Park might not have many top sights, but Marie Selby Botanical Gardens and Marina Jack are two attractions nearby that you can check out.

Finally got around to trying out another coffee house on Florida's west coast. The Clever Cup in Sarasota did not disappoint. Very good latte with an extra shot and a tasty turkey and cheese sandwich in a toasted croissant. Good seating and local jewelry and art. Worth the stop and several nearby places looked interesting for later exploring.
