Inside Zōtō

Zōtō is a polished, modern izakaya that feels designed, not accidental. The fish quality is consistently strong, and the menu leans confident rather than flashy—this is sushi for people who know what they’re ordering. It’s not a bargain spot, and it’s not trying to be. Zōtō works best for date nights, business dinners, or anyone who wants a refined sushi experience without the downtown Sarasota scene. Located at UTC, it draws a mixed crowd of locals and visitors, but the food holds up either way.
