Historic Building Serves New Purpose

Ceviche Tapas Bar & Restaurant, which opened in 2008, repurposed the historic Sarasota Times Building to work as a contemporary 4-floor restaurant. With a rooftop bar, customers can enjoy drinks as they look at starry skies and across Sarasota Bay.

The Spanish-theme restaurant fits the Spanish Colonial Revival Style by Dwight James Baum, who also helped build John and Mable Ringling's Ca d/Zan in Sarasota. Baum designed the building in 1925.

The building served as the new location for the Sarasota Times newspaper, the town's first newspaper, founded in 1899.

Ceviche Tappas Bar & Restaurant | Sarasota Restaurant Reviews | SRQ Reviews
Suppose this place had 4 floors of exposed brick, opened airy seating, a small outside terrace, and a rooftop bar with impressive happy hour sunsets? Not to mention an extensive menu of tapas?

If that sounds interesting, then Ceviche is the place to go. The original Ceviche, located in the Soho district of Tampa, opened in 1997. Since then, Ceviche has expanded its Florida presence to include, St. Petersburg, Orlando, and Sarasota. The Sarasota site opened in March, 2008.
