Sarasota super-chef Paul Mattison's Mattison's City Grille turns into a virtual downtown party Friday and Saturday nights as live bands belt out music for diners, dancers and anyone who happens by on the sidewalk. We dare you not to shake your groove thing. When it comes time to rest your dogs, cool off with a mojito and refuel. The menu goes from all-out rack of lamb or Mattison's famous goat cheese bruschetta.
