The LIST – January 2025
Here’s our monthly rundown for the first month of 2025!
π HELLO! In case you haven’t turned the big calendar page yet, you’d better get to that. It’s 2025, and it’s only going to get deeper into the year from here.
A Little Bit of a Change. Yes, people don’t care that much for change. I get it; you lose your place in the order of things. I personally LOVE IT. So much so that I’m always looking to shake things up a little, and this monthly recap of our most popular restaurants is no exception!
Not to worry, we’re still going to be running it down for you. We’re just going to do it differently. Remember, all change is not bad. Here are a few things…
1οΈβ£ If you’re a newsletter subscriber (you can SUBSCRIBE HERE if, for some reason, you’re not), this monthly report won’t land in your inbox every month. It will just be posted on the dineSarasota.com website.
2οΈβ£ We’re going to keep it brief. What that means is less chatter – more info.
3οΈβ£ You’ll still always be able to get the nuts and bolts by clicking the TOP 25 tab on the website menu.
4οΈβ£ That’s it!
Well, that wasn’t as horrible as you imagined it would be now, was it???
OK, that’s all behind us. Let’s get into it…
π HERE’S THE TOP 10 FOR JANUARY 2025Β
I would say that’s a nice little cross-section of Sarasota restaurants!
There’s a bit of something for everyone on that list. Italian, fresh seafood, some Irish cuisine, some fine dining, and a speakeasy. Quite a diverse group.
