The Cortez Clam Factory’s outdoor patio is ideal for dining and live music. A great “Five Star Dive Bar.”
They celebrated their 10th anniversary this past May (low-key of course) and owners Randy Ellis and David Sadler have nurtured their place to really make it a great bar/restaurant with great entertainment. A big plus is that they are non-smoking so those of you who shied away because of that, can enjoy all they have to offer, and what an offering! Another plus is their expanded outdoor patio area that is inviting with Italian outdoor furniture, pavers and a very cool look for the Clam Factory, well done! Enjoy the fire pit, cornhole and live music (check Facebook for schedule). Perfect for social distancing as well.

Celebrating their third year at their new location is Rosemary & Thyme at 511 North Orange Avenue, Sarasota (941- 955-7600). Under the ownership of George Armstrong who also has The Rosemary eight doors south. The Rosemary is closed at the moment while the new Rosemary & Thyme is a dinner only restaurant, and what a restaurant it is!
Rosemary & Thyme has a smart and cozy bar (with full booze now), and three welcoming rooms from which to choose. Tables are spaced and they have kept it at 50% capacity here but there is plenty of room. There is even a lovely expanded outdoor terrace din- ing area that is just perfect for this time of year again with plenty of space and blocked off areas for safe dining. The style and color scheme is similar to the original Rosemary and the cuisine is also, including some of the favorites with more seafood entrees like Paella, Mahi Mahi Ponzu, Walnut-Crusted Sea Bass and Salmon Finocchio. Save room for the Tomahawk Pork Chop, Osso Buco, Duck L’Orange
Sunday Brunch is back at Rosemary & Thyme with $10 Mimosas and Bloody Marys
