Business Description
Great visibility, foot traffic, and free multi-level guest parking
Step into one of Sarasota’s most talked about restaurant opportunities. In 2023 this concept was Yelp recognized as Top 24 Restaurant in the entire state of Florida, now available in the heart of the rapidly expanding Main Street corridor. This is a rare chance to acquire a proven, high visibility operation in a location that’s about to experience its biggest wave of development yet.

Currently offering southern style comfort cooking with fresh, rotating menu items daily, the restaurant has built a loyal following of locals, courthouse professionals, downtown residents, and seasonal visitors. The concept is beloved—but the space is flexible enough for a new owner to bring their own vision. Whether you want to continue the successful southern theme or introduce a new culinary direction, the layout and recent renovations make it easy to adapt.

Located inside a well-managed, mixed-use building with excellent ownership and responsive management, the restaurant benefits from a professional environment and a steady flow of foot traffic. Even better, the property includes covered, multi-level parking that’s free for guests and customers—a major advantage in downtown Sarasota where convenient parking is rare and highly valued.

This end of Main Street is transforming fast. Several new mixed-use buildings, retail spaces, and office developments are underway, positioning the area as the next major growth zone in downtown Sarasota. As these projects come online, the restaurant will sit at the center of a booming commercial and residential hub—driving even more traffic, visibility, and long-term value.

The interior has been newly renovated, giving you a turnkey operation that still allows room for personalization. A new owner can easily add their own taste, branding, or menu direction without taking on a major buildout. The space is ideal for multiple concepts: southern, brunch café, modern American, fusion, wine bar, bakery, bistro, or a chef driven concept.

To ensure a smooth transition, the current owners are offering 30 days of hands-on support, giving you the confidence and continuity needed to maintain momentum from day one.

And, with Sarasota’s high season approaching, you can step in and immediately capitalize on peak tourism months, courthouse traffic, downtown events, and the constant flow of residents and visitors who rely on Main Street as their daily corridor.
