SRQ Magazine | October 2025: Best of SRQ Winners Showcase - Fin & Tonic
FIN & TONIC
BRONZE WINNER
BEST NEW LOCAL RESTAURANT

AT FIN & TONIC, WE BELIEVE A RESTAURANT IS MORE THAN A PLACE TO EAT— it’s a place to gather, connect, and celebrate community. Since opening our doors in Sarasota, our mission has been to create a vibrant coastal dining experience that feels both welcoming and elevated. Our menu reflects the spirit of Florida’s Gulf Coast, featuring sustainably sourced seafood, chef-inspired dishes, and handcrafted cocktails that showcase fresh, local flavors.
Being recognized as a Best of SRQ Local honoree is an honor we do not take lightly. This award reflects not just the dedication of our team, but the incredible support of our Sarasota neighbors who have embraced us from the very beginning. It’s a testament to the relationships we’ve built— guests who started as first-time visitors and quickly became regulars, friends, and part of our extended family.

Being recognized in the BOSRQ Readers Competition is an incredible honor for our team at Fin & Tonic. This achievement reflects not only our pa ion for great f d and hospitality, but also the amazing support of the Sarasota community that has embraced us since day one. We are proud to celebrate this milestone with the very people who make it a possible—our guests, our neighbors, and our community.

Community has always been at the heart of what we do. From partnering with local fishermen and farms to supporting area events and organizations, we are committed to investing in Sarasota’s future. Whether it’s hosting fundraisers, providing a gathering space for celebrations, or welcoming families and friends after a long day, we see Fin & Tonic as a cornerstone for connection.

Looking ahead, we are excited to continue growing with Sarasota—expanding our menu, offering new experiences, and enhancing the lively atmosphere that has become our signature. We are grateful to be part of such a thriving community and look forward to raising a glass (or a tonic) to many more milestones together. At Fin & Tonic, every meal is a celebration of community, and every guest is family.
