Chutney's Etc.WebsiteBy 1987, Sarasota was ready for an ethnic food invasion, and just in time, Chutney's opened on Hillview Drive, offering Sarasota great adventures in Middle Eastern and Indian food. Husband-and-wife team Ash Shukla and Denise May provide the ultimate personal touch, taking turns cooking and serving and greeting. They know most of their regular clientele by name, and dining in the small but casually appealing restaurant is a lot like visiting friends.

The Waterfront RestaurantWebsiteWelcome to The Waterfront Restaurant on Anna Maria Island. We would like to share with you more than an outstanding dining experience; we invite you to escape to a simpler time – tropical, laid-back Florida the way it used to be. Lush foliage, warm wood paneling, an elegant micro-brew and wine bar, and expansive open air patio views of the emerald green waters of Tampa bay provide the perfect atmosphere for enjoying the island charm of Anna Maria, recharging in the refreshing gulf breezes, and dining enjoyment that is truly memorable. Using fresh, natural flavors and favorites many will recognize – picatta, au Poivre, pesto, mojo and others, we also devote one page of our daily menu to rare seasonal items provided by local watermen and special presentations we prepare with cutting edge techniques. Our carefully crafted menu will provide delights for every taste, from the conservative to the more adventurous. |

Relish Café & MarketplaceWebsiteThe Relish Community is comprised of two separate businesses: Relish Cafe & Marketplace. The first, Relish Marketplace, was the flagship store of the renowned Anna Maria Historic Green Village. The ‘greeness’ of the Historic Green Village is unparalleled from anywhere else in the USA and is truly a unique eco-friendly destination. The Relish Marketplace was founded by retro style maven Rhonda Grote, who curated a collection of vintage and quality designer finds from clothes, to shoes, to accessories, to homegoods and much more. Just as Relish Marketplace celebrates the past thanks to its array of repurposed vintage and reclaimed goodies, Relish Café has its roots in the history of southern cooking. Most of the menu items provide a light, modern twist on classically southern food. The laid-back atmosphere inside the café provides guests with the perfect environment to enjoy coffee and homemade baked goods, creative menu items and even a wide array of gluten-free options. Stop by the Cafe and Marketplace and mingle with the local community, and Relish in all that Anna Maria Island has to offer! |
