Sarasota-based Mattison’s Restaurants and Catering opened its newest outpost yesterday, Monday, June 16, inside the Sarasota Bradenton International Airport. Located in Concourse B, Mattison’s City Grille joins other local restaurants at the airport, including Anna Maria Oyster Bar and Patricks 1481.

The airport’s exclusive retail and restaurant purveyor, Paradies Lagardère has kept its promise to platform local businesses in the airport by cultivating key partnerships with the area’s most popular restaurant groups.

“It is an honor to be part of the modernization at SRQ. The partnership between Mattison’s and Paradies Lagardère has been nothing short of amazing,” Paul Mattison, executive chef and proprietor of Mattison's Restaurants and Catering, said in a press release. “Their team has gone to great lengths to ensure the brands are aligned for success.”

The new dine-in restaurant will offer Mattison’s classics like rosemary honey-glazed salmon, a coconut lime curry bowl and its signature cheeseburger, as well as cocktails. The menu will also feature breakfast items for those on early flights. That means visitors can grab one last taste of Sarasota before heading home.

Mattison’s City Grille is located inside the Sarasota Bradenton International Airport at Concourse B. For more information, click here.
