A seafood joint takes over Mandeville Beer Garden, a new Origin Pizza in Parkside and more -- here's what's already arrived and what's coming soon.
This week's has been rife with new and upcoming restaurant openings in downtown's Rosemary District. Here's what's arrived and what's coming.
Origin Pizza owner Rami Nehme continues to build his pizza empire with his fifth Origin location Sarasota County. Nehme opened Origin's Rosemary District location earlier this week inside Parkside, a food-and-beverage compound anchored by Arts & Central restaurant. The first Origin Pizza opened in 2016 in Southside Village -- in addition to the Rosemary District, locations now include Palmer Ranch, University Parkway and The Landings.
The Watershed Hospitality Concepts restaurant group is adding another restaurant to its growing list, which includes Cask & Ale, Blasé Martini Bar, 3.14 Pi Pizza, and Pie on Main. Next up: Lefty's Oyster & Seafood Bar. The new restaurant replaces Mandeville Beer Garden on Lemon Avenue, and will serve a seafood-focused menu alongside plenty of refreshing cocktails at expanded bar seating. The team at Lefty's has been working hard to update the Mandeville space while preserving its beloved indoor and outdoor atmosphere. They're hoping hoping to open next week. (Fun fact: Lefty's named after one of the partner's dogs, a tripod rescue who is loved by all.)
Breaking news that The Breakfast Company is heading to the former The Rosemary restaurant location came through late this week. This new spot will be The Breakfast Company's fourth location and will open in spring of this year. Known for its robust breakfast and lunch menus, the Rosemary District spot will offer eggs, biscuits, homemade waffles and more.
