ART OVATION HOTEL – American
Downtown Sarasota's arts-district hotel keeps two rooms worth knowing. Tzeva, the ground-floor restaurant, serves modern Mediterranean plates with Israeli accents under executive chef Ken Shiro Lumpkin: a spread of hummus variations, one crowned with pulled Moroccan chicken, pickled corn and pineapple amba; shakshuka; toasted feta scented with thyme; fried oysters; roasted lamb shank. Breakfast runs early, lunch on weekdays, weekend brunch, dinner nightly. Upstairs, the Perspective rooftop bar pours cocktails over city rooftops. Guests repeatedly praise the plating, the generous vegetarian and vegan options, and attentive service indoors and on the terrace. Art on the walls, dinner on the table.
