A show-stopping dining experience that is the hottest ticket in town
Cirque St. Armands is home to Sarasota’s newest and creative restaurant: Ringside, which also services Midway, the lobby bar lounge, and Ringmaster, the pool bar. Expect inventive dishes in the main restaurant, then light bites and daring cocktails in the bars. With stunning design details as bold as the food, this is one dining experience you won’t want to miss.
Signature Restaurant – Coming Soon
Ringside
Secure a front-row experience to the grand spectacle that is our centerpiece restaurant. And when we say spectacle, we mean it: A wall of floor-to-ceiling windows reveal panoramic views of the beach, billboard-size murals showcase trapeze artists doing daredevil acts, and five private booths peek out from behind sumptuous velvet drapery. The setting meets its perfect match in our menu, serving up a delicate balancing act of bold flavors and Gulf seafood favorites.
Midway
Anchored by a large tufted banquette sofa and a bar that straddles the indoor lobby space and the outdoor pool area, the lobby bar lounge is the place to mix and mingle beside views of the beach. Happy hours are a must here for the daring drinks that take center stage. You’ll never be bored with what is mixed, muddled, and mastered beneath the unique cage-like canopy of the bar.
Coming Soon
Ringmaster
Located on just the opposite side of the lobby bar lounge, the pool bar serves up a similar menu with sips suited to sunbathing on the surrounding pool deck. Additional seating bordered around the bar and bar terrace allows for more intimate conversations – but still always within full view of the beach across the street.
Coming Soon
In-Room Dining
Set out on a delicious journey without leaving the comfort of your own room. Begin your day with a delightful array of creative egg and avocado toast creations for breakfast, while lunch and dinner feature fresh local catch expertly prepared in bold and imaginative ways.
Drift Kitchen & Bar
Dine high above the Gulf at Lido Beach Resort’s signature restaurant, Drift Kitchen & Bar. Just step from Cirque St. Armands, Drift is located on the 8th floor, featuring elevated decor and floor to ceiling views of the Gulf of Mexico. Open daily for Breakfast, Happy Hour and Dinner, Drift’s menu features local ingredients with an emphasis on fresh seafood and contemporary American fare.
