I just checked out that site.
The recommendations sound great. And, I checked out the menu - looks like a place to check out next time I'm in Sarasota. Maybe this weekend or early next week.

This isn't a exactly a place for a meal but I thought it deserves a mention. ABBE"S DONUTS in North Port(13625 Tamiami Trl) When we lived in Pinellas county the best place to get big, fresh quality donuts was Elmos. He closed shop many yrs ago and I thought his donuts were gone for good. Then one day my husband stopped to mail a letter at a strip mall in NP and low and behold he sees this donut shop. When he brought some home I couldn't believe what I was tasting, it was a blast from the past. Abbe ,we came to find out , was Elmos niece and she is usung his original recipes. Much, much better than Dunkin Donuts, larger, fresher and cheaper!. It was so nice to find a fond memory alive and well right here in North Port.

Rushmore, You were looking for Opus' menu. Here is their website. They also own table 209 in Punta Gorda. We are going there for the first time tonight. I'll let you know how that is.

Opus has been outstanding each time we've gone.

My wife has done some research, and this is what she has decided. She is smart and good. We are looking forward to wherever we go.
