"Chic. Coastal. Hip. Upscale. Modern. How do you describe Shore, one of the most popular and exciting new restaurants in Sarasota, Florida? All of the above. Located at 465 John Ringling Boulevard, in fashionable St. Armands Circle, next to the Shore store and the Foxy Lady, Shore is an oceanside diner with modern decor that serves seafood, burgers and salads to a mostly young and vibrant crowd. Take the stone stairs or the elevator to the second floor, open air dining room with a beautiful green wall and patio overlooking the street and a large back patio with retractable roof. Open from 11 to 10 Monday through Thursday, 11 to 11 Friday and Saturday and 10 to 10 on Sunday, Shore serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with free parking behind the restaurant. In busy St. Armands Circle, that's a welcome gift. For lunch, my wife and I started with ciabatta bread and spreads, yellow heirloom tomato soup and lobster, shrimp and crab cobb salad with chicken breast. For her entree, my wife chose a Black Grouper Sandwich, Creole grilled with coleslaw and truffle fries. It's a spinoff from Shore's dinner special, Almond Crusted Black Grouper with blue crag risotto and char-grilled asparagus. For my lunch treat, I opted for a Crispy Springer Mountain Farms chicken sandwich with tomato and provolone cheese, truffle fries and sweet vinegar coleslaw. Shore also has a location at 800 Broadway Street in nearby Longboat Key."

"This coffee shop was a little hard to find and park at for a first timer newbie like me. It's located in the middle of an office complex where Google and Equinox are. You have to park in the parking garage across the street and get your ticket validated at the counter as you're leaving. I set a timer on my phone so I would know how many hours I needed to have them validate me for. If you're only there to run in and get coffee for 15 minutes or so you should be fine. This coffee is crack! I had no warning prior to visiting so I'm telling all of you out there looking to visit this place for the first time: The caffeine here is no joke. You need food in your body and a long day ahead of you to burn off the energy this coffee is about to give you. Highly unrecommended for those with heart problems, high blood pressure or any human being after the hours of 2 pm if you want a decent night sleep that night. Seriously, caffeinated! I had the oat milk latte and an everything bagel with cream cheese, avocado and lemon pepper on top. Everything was delicious and affordable. There's a decent amount of seating inside and out. Would recommend for individuals looking to plug in and work for a few hours and meet ups of 2-3 guests indoors or 3-5 guests outdoors. They have an inspiration wall where many people have drawn and written fun phrases, jokes and quotes. If you bring a sharpie they'll let you contribute as well. Wifi was strong the entire 6 hours I was there. There are multiple outlet locations. The bathrooms are across the street in a building next to the parking garage. And the staff were kind, attentive and patient with their customers. All around good experience."
