Hi everybody.

Wife and I will be visiting relatives in Sarasota next week. Im attempting to plan a really nice date night. I wanted some suggestions for a nice modern restaurant (good food, dress up, but not suit and tie type place) for dinner, I have a helicopter tour booked at sunset, and wanted suggestions for an outside place to go for a drink with an awesome view afterward. We've been to the tiki bar at marina jacks (I think thats what it was called) and I have no issue going back there but was hoping for something different, especially if its high up and has an outdoor area.

If you have other ideas of something fun and out of the ordinary feel free to throw them out there too.

Thanks for the help!

if you like Italian food(not Italian American)- check out my favorite-La Scarpetta, in a shopping center near the corner of Beneva and Tuttle Ave. NE corner of intersection. Marina Jack is hard to beat, as well as Sharky's sister restaurant in Venice.

I think Shore in St. Armands is one of the most romantic, best restaurants in Sarasota. It's on the second floor and the interior is almost completely outdoors so the views are amazing. The back dining room roof completely retracts.

Social on 1st also has a really cool outdoor dining area.

Beneva & Tuttle both run North / South. I think you mean Bee Ridge & Tuttle? Anyways, tell us more about Scarpetta. I've never been.
