When the pandemic hit everyone, all construction came to a halt and we had a huge delay, but hopefully we re back on track, Souflis said. We did remarkable progress actually, the past three months, with all the construction and everything. So the place looks beautiful.
The UTC location s menu will be essentially identical to downtown Sarasota when it opens, though specials may be added over time. Selva is known for its ceviches, as well as entrees like skirt steak topped with chimichurri and beet relish and served over plantains.
The new location will also serve liquor, with Selva s drink menu featuring cocktails such as the popular Peruvian pisco sour. It also plans to offer a happy hour – along with adding the Main Street location s late-night menu in the future, Souflis said – as well as DJs on the weekends like in downtown Sarasota.
