Sangria is adding the former home of Grey Flannel Gallery to its Main Street Sarasota location. This expansion will add over 2100 square feet (roughly doubling the space) and should be completed sometime in the Fall. The restaurant will remain open for most of that time, with a short week to two week closure just to complete the renovations.
This comes on the heels of Selva's expansion (which will not be at the old DJ's/Munroe's spot, we have it on good authority) and the oncoming Ceviche juggernaut (scroll to the bottom). Looks like downtown Sarasota is going to be awash with Rioja this winter. Let's hope the dining public is ready for a tapas glut.
