ENCORE LIVE – Restaurant

Encore Live pairs a full stage with a real kitchen on Lockwood Ridge Road in Sarasota, running food and live music side by side rather than treating either as an afterthought. The menu leans toward shareable bar food: wagyu beef sliders, buffalo chicken and pulled pork versions, and flatbreads running from a straightforward margherita to a fig, prosciutto and goat cheese combination. Starters cover seared ahi tuna, crab balls and buffalo chicken egg rolls. Weekly programming runs karaoke, tribute bands and dance nights, with reserved tables and a VIP setup for anyone wanting a guaranteed closer seat near the stage.
