Restaurant group offers pickup, temporarily closes locations

SARASOTA — Tableseide Restaurant Group is offering curbside pickup and free delivery at its Sarasota and Lakewood Ranch locations of Libby's Neighborhood Brasserie, and it has temporarily closed Lemon Tree Kitchen and Circo. 

The Sarasota-based restaurant group, which also includes Oak & Stone and Muse at The Ringling, was established 12 years ago. 

A statement signed by Tableseide Restaurant Group leadership Joe Guli and Joe Seidensticker says, "We will do everything we can to support our staff, providing them with government resources, offering them food if they need it and a small portion of them the ability to work when they can by doing sanitary home deliveries." 

The statement also says, "We love you, and assure you that every single one of you has secure employment when we are told it is safe to reopen." 

The menus for pickup and delivery at Libby's will be limited and subject to change, the release says. The restaurant groups asked customers to follow it on social media for updates on hours and menu availability.

Tableseide Restaurant Group reported $11 million in gross revenue in 2018.
