I know escape rooms have been around for a while, but it wasn't until I read Partners in Crime by…read moreAlisha Rai that I finally felt inspired to try one for myself. And WOW I'm so glad I did! My husband and I tackled the Clue-Dunnit room and had an absolute blast. It was intense, immersive, and honestly, such a great way to bond and have fun. We finished with just seconds to spare, which made it all the more exciting. If you're in Sarasota area and looking for a fun, interactive experience, I highly recommend trying out an escape room - you won't regret it. Pro Tip: Go with people you communicate well with - every second counts!

I used to love, love, love seeing Andres perform outside at Mattison's City Grille in Downtown…read moreSarasota, thanks to an acquaintence suggesting Sunday brunch there. He has such a GREAT voice (one that sounds clear and awesome live and makes you stop what you're doing to listen) and puts on an impressive one man show. Andres possesses quite an affable demeanor. His sets were made extra enjoyable with his good sense of humor and how nicely he interacts with his audience. During the times I saw him, he would always have a song list with him or take off-list requests (worth the tippage). I would often ask to hear some Jason Mraz or Jack Johnson because their songs seemed to fit the sun, the drinks (mimosas, of course), the food and the mood. His talent is diverse though and he can certainly mix it up if need be (bossa nova, classical guitar, salsa, rock and roll, jazz, etc). While Andres puts on a great one man show, his wife accompanied him on occasion for a nice change up (they have their own little duo called Son Dos http://www.myspace.com/sondosband ). Maybe because they were still sorta newlyweds at the time, they came off as such a cute and likable couple. They definitely jibe very well together on stage. Another cool thing about Andres is that he can sing in FIVE languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French. He is originally from Mexico and some of his songs are sung with a little bit of an accent, but it doesn't detract from his performance level. Not for me, at least. Before I left FL I'd wanted to go do a brunch date thing at Mattison's and have my Michigan BF check Andres out for the first time and we were told he wasn't performing there anymore. HUGE disappointment. I just checked his website calendar and happily saw he was still performing locally in Sarasota at Ceviche and The Hub http://www.guitarflorida.com/apps/calendar/ I really can't wait to get back down to Florida to hear Andres live again. Go check him out if you're ever in Sarasota or to see that he can indeed provide some great live and engaging music for any cool, classy adult event you may be planning. Per his card (which I recently came across while organizing some FL stuff and which led me to write this review), he is for hire for things like parties, weddings, serenades and guitar lessons. If you elect to listen on a play or pay basis, in either case, I think you will be quite pleased that you did.
