At Sarasota Bay Club every dining experience is a sumptuous celebration of choice. That's because here there are absolutely no meal plan obligations that many other retirement residences require. Instead, Bay Club residents enjoy the freedom to feast upon a most delicious medley of settings, styles, views, and menus without ever leaving home!

Menu selections are meticulously planned each day, optimizing the freshest of fruits and vegetables, meats, poultry, and of course, the fresh catch of the day. Heart healthy choices are available on each menu and so are the chef's specials, which are quite special, indeed. Appetizers, soups and salads are all delightfully homemade and the Bay Club's divine dessert selection is often irresistible!

In the Main Dining Room ... residents can dress for dinner and be treated to impeccable service by an attentive staff who know them by name, where their favorite tables are, and what their "usual" is before they order it. The elegant decor features opulent jewel tones and rich dark wood accents. Magnificent floor-to-ceiling arched windows invite warm lighting from the bayfront sunset, creating a truly elegant atmosphere reminiscent of the finest country clubs, complete with a dance floor of glistening parquet wood.

On the Veranda ... you can enjoy the best of both worlds. Wall to wall windows create a bright, airy outdoor feeling, like being on a graceful, sun-dappled patio. Yet the Veranda Dining Room is actually indoors, in the southern comfort of air conditioned luxury. Views of sparkling Sarasota Bay offer an ideal setting for both lunch or dinner, where you can gaze upon passing boats, and setting suns on virtually any day.

Two Private Dining Rooms ... provide an ideal setting for private parties, family gatherings, and other special occasions. The Red Room overlooks Sarasota Bay Club's beautiful outdoor pool and spa, while The Palm Room offers a delightful tropical setting. Residents can reserve either room for their event and have it professionally catered by the dining staff.

In the Bar and Lounge ... it's time to kick back and relax in a more casual setting with a more casual menu. Cozy up to the fireplace with a cocktail and watch the game on TV or meet friends for a challenging card game and light lunch. The fully appointed bar is open from noon to after dinner, and residents can order from either the lounge menu or the formal dining menu.

At Home, Catered In ... residents also enjoy the benefit of being able to order right off the menu for delivery to their door on the occasions where they wish to dine at home.
