SARASOTA, Fla., Aug. 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- There's an
exciting evolution in casual dining in Siesta Key: BRAVO Coastal Bar & Kitchen!
Built from the ground up, BRAVO Coastal Bar & Kitchen presents
a coastal casual feel, which is a distinctive twist on two popular
restaurants: BRAVO Cucina Italiana and BRIO Tuscan Grille. Located
at Westfield Siesta Key, at 3501 S. Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, FL 34239, the restaurant is slated
to open Aug. 31.
With the same friendly, genuine hospitality as BRAVO Cucina
Italiana and BRIO Tuscan Grille, BRAVO Coastal Bar & Kitchen
features a seasonal menu featuring chef-driven, made-from-scratch
items, from shareable small plates to gourmet sandwiches and
signature main dishes. New, simple recipes present the highest
quality ingredients. Brunch, lunch and dinner items, as well as
kids' meals, are featured on the unique menu. The vibrant bar
serves handcrafted cocktails, more than 30 wines (all of which are
offered by the glass) and local craft beers.
Unique to this concept and brand, BRAVO Coastal will showcase a
Bakery. Opening at 8 a.m. seven days
a week, the BRAVO Coastal Bar & Kitchen Bakery will offer the
perfect way for guests to start their day: with delicious baked
goods from the pastry case at the front of the restaurant, and
inviting morning coffee. The baked goods include assorted cookies,
quick breads (banana nut with chocolate chips, and strawberry),
strawberry bread, strawberry oat bars, artisanal breads, glazed
croissant donuts, and crispy treats.
Welcoming with a relaxed feel, the restaurant features urban
coastal décor with exposed beams and wood tables. The large outdoor
terrace features fire pits, comfortable lounge seating, and
interactive games — an engaging atmosphere for all ages.
Lunch offerings vary from "Handhelds" including the Double
Stacked Burger with white cheddar and hand cut fries; to
"Mains" such as Chicken Saltimbocca, a delicious dish
featuring butternut squash; to "Greens & Such" including a
Shaved Vegetable Salad with feta; and "Closers" including Peanut
Butter Pie with Oreo crust.
Dinner is a selection of tasty dishes including "Small Plates"
ideal for sharing, including Crispy Calamari with sweet
chile aioli, buffalo sauce, lime, cilantro; "Handhelds" such as a
Crispy Fish Sandwich with sriracha honey; "Mains" including
Grilled Branzino complemented by a panzanella salad;
"Veggies" including Brussels Sprouts featuring Hobb's bacon,
walnuts, maple mustard aioli, balsamic vinegar; and "Closers" such
as S'Mores Donuts enticing with Nutella and marshmallow
dips.
Weekend Brunch items range from Avocado Toast with
delicious sunny side up cage free eggs; to the sweet Granola
Crusted French Toast; and irresistibly shareable Shrimp
& Grits, featuring creamy smoked Gouda polenta. Kids can
enjoy brunch dishes including French Toast and Scrambled
Eggs. Brunch beverages include the Bloody Mary, which is
slightly spicy; and Brut 187 ml, Mionetto Prestige (Treviso,
Italy).
The drinks menu tempts with "House Made Infusions" including
Spicy Mango Tequila; specialty drinks such as the
Cucumber Basil Gimlet; craft beers including Maui
Pineapple Wheat and other beers; a robust selection of red,
white and bubbly wines; and an offering of "Zero Proof" cocktails
including Cucumber Coconut water and a house made
Lemonade among others.
To-Go dishes include various selections from the lunch and
dinner menu.
Presenting a family-friendly atmosphere including fun-filled
games, BRAVO Coastal Bar & Kitchen offers kids' dishes
including Grilled Cheese, Burger, Pasta, Chicken Fingers, Grilled
Chicken and Grilled Salmon, all served with a drink such as milk,
juice, fountain drinks or a Shirley
