Alpine Steak House and Karl Ehmer's Meats is something of a local landmark. Opened 1975, it was the…More first in Sarasota to specialize in prime meats of the New York City steakhouse persuasion.</p> <p>This is best accomplished by simply being purveyors of the choicest prime Midwestern beef, naturally aged for flavor and tenderness with a guarantee of 100 percent homemade ingredients.</p> <p>Owner Matt Rebhan calls it "a love of labor." For more than 30 years, his father Mark, maintaining a tradition set by his own father Henry, had been at the helm of the Alpine. In 2003 he passed the reins to Matt, although continuing in a co-managerial role. It's a Rebhan family operation.</p>

Anna's Deli III is a Downtown landmark, having served lunch to the business community and regular customers for…More almost 40 years.</p> <p>This is one of three locations in Sarasota. Sandwiches feature Boar's Head cold cuts and quality service. The lunch crowd is fast paced. You can phone in orders, and party platters can be ordered in advance for luncheons.</p> <p>The menu is varied, and there are daily specials. All sandwiches can be ordered to half size at a reduced price.</p>
