Local restaurant owners buy downtown Sarasota eatery for $2.47M

The former Yume Sushi restaurant space in downtown Sarasota has been bought by well-known local restaurateur Michael Evanoff.

The building is at 1532 Main St. and was the home of the Japanese eatery for 18 years until it closed in November 2023. According to Sarasota County property records, Evanoff, along with Fred Disanto, bought the property through an LLC paying $2.47 million.

Evanoff, the owner of Evie’s Group, is not opening a new restaurant in the space, however.
