Jen's Personal Recommendations

Experiences

A curated collection of the places I genuinely love and recommend to my guests – and why I think you’ll love them too.

Just 3/4 mile to Magnolia House Sarasota, Southside Village is home to some of Sarasota's best restaurants, cafes, coffee shops and boutiques.
Go for the ceviche and stay for the energy. Sophisticated Latin-inspired cuisine, beautiful presentation and a lively downtown atmosphere.
My go-to when guests want a bit of everything. Shopping, dining and entertainment all in one spot, with easy parking and a mix of indoor and outdoor options.
A great rainy-day pick for families. Hands-on marine exhibits that make ocean science fun for kids and adults alike.
Rediscover classic board games you grew up with-Monopoly, Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit- all on the Infinity interactive game table at Magnolia House Sarasota
Don't miss what's hidden in the back. After dinner, find the intimate speakeasy tucked behind Mimi's, where the mixologist will custom-craft a cocktail based on what you like.
My go-to for a lively night out. Great cocktails, live music on weekends and a fun, buzzy energy in the heart of downtown.
My pick when I want rooftop views with dinner. Creative cocktails and a beautiful open-air setting make it perfect for a special evening downtown.
My choice for an upscale night out on the water. Polished, sophisticated and a great spot for cocktails at The Quay.
My favorite little taste of France in Sarasota. Perfect for a leisurely breakfast or lunch, with authentic French pastries, crepes and cafe favorites.
