    The recommendations from our server, Chance, were all delectable! We started with the soft shell crab which was savory and melted in our mouths. The drink selection was fabulous. The main courses were served perfectly in accordance with how they were ordered. The filet was tender and mouth-watering. The truffle mac and cheese was unmatched and perfectly balanced. The off-menu Sea Bass topped with blue crab was to die for and finally, the crème brûlée was TRANSCENDENT. I have never had better, honestly. We already can’t wait to go back and try something new!!!

    Arts and Central is one of the better fine dining restaurants in Sarasota. It is casual but with attention to detail. The food is very good. There are varied choices on the menu. I had the Sichuan A&C noodles with Black Bean & Garlic Sauce, Sesame, Scallion, and Kimchi Aioli which was very tasty. It comes with achoice of Cauliflower, Shrimp, or Smoked Chicken. My wife had the Thursday night lobster special which she enjoyed. The wine list is quite extensive with something for every taste and price point. Arts and Central is a great addition to Sarasota's restaurant scene. '
