 EAT     

Eastern Love on the West Coast

At Pattigeorge’s, diners will find more than hand-crafted artisan foods. They will also dine at a table overlooking the Sarasota Bay. Look out the long stretch of giant windows at the deep blue sea, little sailboats passing by and sea life as you eat fine cuisine reflecting Asian ingredients.

I relaxed at the casual bar and tried the Bangkok noodle bowl. This monstrous bow, chocked full of vegetables like portabellas, carrots, scallions and broccoli, has been filled generously with shrimp and chicken. The seasoned broth and clear, thin stringy noodles can be added to by including one of the flavors on the side: sriracha, coconut milk or limes.
I hit the sriracha pretty hard to add a spicy Thai flavoring to the dish. The noodle bowl may sound like a starter but actually can be very filling. Sit back and enjoy the beautiful scenery with a dish unrivaled in Sarasota.
