South Sarasota County community announces lakefront restaurant

An exclusive event caterer has been added to the mix at Downtown Wellen, a district within master-planned community Wellen Park along U.S. 41 in south Sarasota County. Most of the community is within the city limits of North Port. 

The Banyan House, a locally owned restaurant by brothers David and Dennis Valentino and partner Mark Costanzo, was announced as both the exclusive caterer as well as the premier lakefront restaurant. Guests can expect a menu of orangewood-fired grilled seafood and steak spread across brunch, lunch and dinner, according to a statement.
