SAGE – Restaurant
International dining room in a National Register historic building on First Street in Sarasota's arts district, where seven-country veteran chef Christopher Covelli signs the Thai bouillabaisse that marries two cuisines in one bowl. Seasonal cocktails pour beside a rooftop bar and event spaces, with complimentary valet and galleries within walking distance — renovations pausing service ahead of a fall reopening. It suits theater-district pre-shows, rooftop sunset rounds, tasting-minded travelers, and Sarasotans holding their reservation for the return. The First Street address puts hotels and attractions in walking range.
