An Asian restaurant to replace the former Outback on South Tamiami Trail in Sarasota, FL.

According to Sarasota County permit records, the new restaurant will be called "Seventeen." A Business Use Permit application says: "This project involves a comprehensive interior renovation aimed at enhancing the comfort, aesthetics, and functionality of the space. The scope of work includes the replacement of existing furniture with new chairs, sofas, and tables to improve both style and usability. Additionally, the flooring throughout the interior will be updated to new, high-quality materials. The project also includes repainting all interior walls with fresh, modern colors to revitalize the environment. To complete the transformation, some of existing light fixtures will be replaced with updated, energy-efficient models that provide improved illumination and a contemporary look."
In addition, a search of Florida corporate records finds one of the owners listed for the parent corporation of Seventeen also owns a pair of upscale Chinese restaurants in Orlando and Winter Park, FL. As of today's publication, there are no restaurant or alcohol license applications on file with Florida DBPR. Follow our page for updates.

A St. Armands Circle Italian restaurant menu is now available in downtown Sarasota, FL.
Le Colonne Restaurant remains closed after last year's hurricanes. Now, a family member has brought staff members on board at her downtown restaurant and is making many of their popular Italian dishes available to diners. Giulia Salustri tells us she has the same people making the fresh pasta and Italian menu in the kitchen at her restaurant Organic Farmer's Table on Lemon Ave. Her family are still working out issues with the landlord and regarding needed repairs to reopen the long time St. Armands dining spot.

Good luck to the Le Colonne family.

An inspection conducted on any given day may not be representative of the overall, long-term conditions at the establishment."
"Emergency Order Recommended – Conditions have been found that endanger the health and safety of the public requiring immediate closure of the establishment."
"High Priority Violations are those which could contribute directly to a foodborne illness or injury. High Priority lodging violations are those which could pose a direct or significant threat to the public health, safety, or welfare."

"Reopening After an Emergency Closure or Suspension

■ The establishment can request this inspection earlier than 24 hours
■ Establishment may reopen when a division inspection shows all of the violations that cause the emergency closure are corrected"
