While December means enjoying all the winter holiday season events the Sarasota area has to offer, for many, it also means planning for family and the Christmas Day meal you'll be feeding them. If you're not feeling up to cooking, however, several Sarasota area restaurants will be open for the holiday serving their own meals.

Whether you're craving traditional dishes such as honey-glazed ham and roast turkey, or a seafood fitting our Florida waterfront locale, you'll find them here. These restaurants span casual dining spots to more upscale locales, and across Sarasota, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Longboat Key, Siesta Key and Anna Maria Island.
