State Street Eating House + Cocktails State Street Eating House + Cocktails pioneered the return of the craft cocktail to Sarasota paired Fresh. Innovative. Handcrafted.
(957)

Out of a defunct bakery restored to its mid-century bones, we pioneered the return of the craft cocktail to Sarasota. But we didn’t just curb our creativity to creating new cocktails. Chef Adam Ruth has created a menu featuring fresh Napa inspired cuisine that is down-right delicious. Whether you’re joining us for happy hour, weekend brunch or to dine, we hope that our passion for creating a unique experience is apparent in everything we do.

“I knew I wanted to be a chef from a very young age.

I even chose French in middle school because I was convinced l’d someday go to France to cook. Funny enough, I still haven’t made it there. Someday!

My path took me to university first, and eventually to the Culinary Institute of America. Those years were some of the best of my life.

I loved the classes, the chef instructors, the challenges, and being surrounded by people who shared the same passion for food.

We came from different places, but that love of cooking connected us.

I still have some of my textbooks and notes from those days. And yes, I still pull them out from time to time.

Today, I have the privilege of leading two very different kitchens in Sarasota: Beso and State Street.

At Beso, I get to explore Spanish influences, Florida ingredients, and the traditions and techniques behind the food.

At State Street, I get to take familiar ingredients, explore new ideas, and create food that reflects where we live.

But somewhere along the way, I realized that being a chef is about so much more than what’s on the plate.

It’s about the people. The process. The details. The standards we hold ourselves to. Teaching what you know, learning what you don’t, and building something together.

That little girl stirring the pot had no idea where cooking would take her.
And I’m still figuring out where it will take me next.

Still learning. Still cooking. Still building.”

- Chef Amy Knox
