Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall

Saw an inspiring show with the Sarasota Orchestra. The sound was fantastic, even in the seats far from the stage. The Performing Arts Center is beautiful inside and out. We parked the car and it was not too far of a walk. They do offer valet parking for $10. Which is a good option, especially if you are running late.
Shake Shack Lake Grove

Sweet spot for a burger and fries. Super convenient to local stores and Nesconset Highway. Order from pad or at the counter. I didn’t get a shake but they looked fabulous. Cheesy fries were good at the start but the cheese got cold quickly.
The Cheesecake Factory

We came mid-week because the weekends are always extremely busy here. Very short wait and had a chance to peruse the selection of cheesecake slices. 😋 I love the chicken bellagio and was not disappointed the pasta in a creamy pesto is very tasty. The vegan Cobb salad is huge! Superb service. Highly recommend going during the week for a relaxing experience.

Great spot to spend a day at the beach or catch the sunset. Super close to Siesta shops and restaurants.
Pinchers
2023 Apr 21
After reading the mixed reviews for Pinchers I was not looking forward to a great experience. Luckily for us we must have come on a good night. We had a coupon for the crab dip appetizer that was delicious and had lots of chips with it. Enough to share with four people. I replaced the two sides that came with my meal with a small salad. The fish was crisp and not at all greasy. My husband’s salmon was perfectly prepared. The portions are large, so no room for dessert, but the key lime pie looked amazing. We will be back again! Thanks,Diana, for your wonderful service.
