 RESTAURANT HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE FEBRUARY ISSUE     

Hotel Indigo’s H2O Bistro
Atlantic Salmon

Keeping it simple and traditional is what it’s all about at H2O Bistro. Chef Aldo Baghara recently added broiled salmon with dill Hollandaise sauce to the Bistro’s new menu. Baghara, born in Chile, is more concerned with freshness, color, presentation and flavor than a complicated recipe with a multitude of ingredients. The fish he prepares is fresh Atlantic salmon topped with a traditional Hollandaise sauce and fresh dill, complemented by five different kinds of diced and sautéed potatoes and steamed veggies. Atop H2O Bistro’s shiny white plates, this colorful dish looks almost too good to eat. Hotel Indigo’s H2O Bistro, 1223 Blvd. of the Arts, Sarasota, 941-487-3800, www.srqhotel.com
Libby's Café and Bar
Fuji Apple Salad

From artistic flare to scrumptious dishes, Libby's Café and Bar never ceases to amaze and this month is no different. Introducing Libby's Fuji apple salad, a crisp fresh medley of organic arugula, radicchio, strawberries, candied walnuts, goat cheese fritters, topped with a sherried fig vinaigrette. Each bite is a mouthful of sweet, fresh, tangy flavor, just one of the dishes that makes Libby's the place to be.  Libby's Café and Bar, 1917 South Osprey Ave., Sarasota, 941-487-7300, www.libbyscafebar.com
Gateway To India
Chicken Tikki Masala

One of the most well-loved Indian dishes, from one of the area’s favorite Indian restaurants, Gateway to India’s chicken tikki marsala is a classic Indian dish, made with roasted chicken smothered in a special thick and creamy masala sauce, a mix of spices, cream, gravy and vegetables. The chefs at Gateway to India are proud to offer the dish everyday in their new weekend lunch buffet. Gateway to India, 1960 Hillview St., Sarasota, 941-364-4777, www.gatewaytoindiasrq.com
The Crow's Nest Marina Restaurant and Tavern
Seafood Pot Pie

Keeping it close to home, Crow's Nest in Venice is warming hearts and bellies with its new dish, a seafood pot pie stuffed to the brim with sauteed onions, lobster, shrimp, grouper, scallops, peas, chopped parsley and diced potatoes. All baked au gratin and topped with puff pastry. With this traditional family meal, served marina-style, The Crow's Nest gives us the warmth we want, the comfort of home, with a waterfront view overlooking the Venice Marina. The Crow's Nest Marina Restaurant and Tavern, 1968 Tarpon Center Dr., Venice, 941-484-9551,
