Siesta Key's Blase Cafe Fun Dining Scene

Bring Your Camera to Blasé Café on Siesta Key

For a fun night of dining amid a fun atmosphere, try Siesta Key's Blasé Café. The Blasé Café has been around since 1997. Cindy, the owner, has created an eclectic fun atmosphere in this hot island spot. My first visit was in 2000 with friends who live on Siesta Key. At that time, the Blasé was a tiny 2 room establishment with an outdoor deck with extra seating.

Through the years, Blasé Cafe has added a bar and then took over an adjoining business and knocked out some walls to add a larger bar and additional seating inside. Cindy’s love of flare has added to a unique atmosphere and her love of fine food and service has provided an excellent dining opportunity for Siesta Key residents and visitors.

Last Friday, my friend and former customer, Claudia Eklund called me to meet her and her friend Gayle at the Blasé. Since the weather was a little nippy, we were seated at a wonderful corner table where we could leisurely sip our wine, chat about their visit to Siesta Key and, of course, talk about what’s for sale in the Siesta Key real estate market, our kids and the Pinot Noir.

Gayle had the featured grouper with garlic, tomatoes, olives and capers. She said it was excellent. The garlic certainly smelled delicious. Claudia and I opted for the filet mignon with gorgonzola. It’s my favorite at the Blasé and comes with mashed potatoes and fresh sautéed spinach. I order the filet every time!

Ralph, the chef stopped by our table for a second and posed for a picture with Claudia and Gayle. I reminded Ralph that I met him and Cindy many years ago with other friends when he and Cindy were beginning to expand the restaurant. He gallantly pointed to Cindy working elegantly across the room at the bar with pride.

If you’re looking for a fun dining experience along with beautifully prepared food on Siesta Key, try the Blasé Café. Blasé Café is located at 5263 Ocean Blvd., Suite 9, Sarasota, FL 34242. There is an extensive list of Designer Martinis.
