This is our favorite restaurant - fabulous fish dishes!
It's a bit of a drive from Sarasota - but we go once or twice every trip down

The John & Mable Ringling Estate and Museums
A fantastic way to spend a few hours. The museum is great as is their estate on the water. A beautiful rose garden too!

St. Armand's Circle (short hop over the Ringling Bridge) for great shopping and restaurants.
Crab & Fin on the circle is touted as the best seafood restaurant there. Stay clear of Columbia Restaurant. It's a tourist trap with lousy overpriced food from my experience. A short drive (or bus) from St. Armand's Circle is Mote Aquarium. I loved my visit there a few years ago and there's so much more to see. See Image link.

Fair warning! St. Armand's Circle has
I've spent countless weeks perfecting this blend and fine-tweaking all associated costs involved in the making to give you a great product for your money. I use quality ingredients and no MSG or preservatives are included. A nominal amount of kosher salt is incorporated into the mix. My Blend de Provence is freshly blended with each order.
Blend de Provence is jam-packed with flavor and I'm happy to say that my friends agree too!
You can find my blend by logging into Facebook and searching for Eatopia Cottage Foods. For those who are not Facebook users, I've posted details and photos below:
Use Blend de Provence on fish, chicken, pork, lamb, beef, pasta, salads, oil dip, "garlic" bread, creamy dip. Make an herb butter or flavored cream cheese. Sprinkle on your vegetables, french fries, roasted potatoes. The list is endless! You'll love the lemony/garlic/herb flavor on any food!

Pan-seared center cut pork chops seasoned with my Blend de Provence (and a little more sprinkled on top afterwards...). My dinner was super-enhanced with Blend de Provence.
Did I mention that we duckies love to sprinkle it on our snails and small fish? It's the perfect condiment and I hope you'll like it too!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39YUXIKrOFk

Marina Jack's at the base of downtown Sarasota and overlooking beautiful Sarasota Bay...
The restaurant is on their marina within Bayfront Park and a great place to meander to see the boats and yachts for photo-taking. A MUST SEE!
O'Leary's is within the park and a short stroll south from Marina Jack's. Low key, casual, and a great view as well. See Image link.

The Selby Botanical Gardens are also lovely!
However - not so much flowers as plants. In a beautiful setting on the bay. It does boast a fabulous orchid room and a really nice gift shop
