How do we say we truly enjoyed our dinner at Roast. Roast Restaurant is located next to the Sarasota Opera House in a wonderfully old building that was built by the famous John Ringling. It seems John Ringling is everywhere in Sarasota. Roast restaurant is in a two- story building originally built in 1925 and is a registered historic building in downtown Sarasota, Florida.
The upstairs bar is, in fact, his gentlemen’s club. The bar is simply stunning. The carvings are gorgeous. Their craft cocktails are quite good. Go up the steps just to see the bar and have a drink.
