A new gastropub, with ownership that’s operated other restaurants in New York City, plans to soon debut in Lakewood Ranch’s Sarasota County development Waterside Place.
Allswell hopes to open by September, said co-owner Tory Delany. Allswell’s owners have also operated New York City eateries such as The Malt House, a tavern with two Manhattan locations, and Southern California-style Mexican restaurant/mezcal and tequila bar Mezcali, also in Manhattan.
Delany, who moved to Lakewood Ranch in 2022, felt with all the fellow newcomers to the area that there was a market for the type of restaurants as those ones in New York City, which she described as “high-energy” with “excellent service, top-quality food.”

“Not to say that we didn’t experience that down here, but that we saw with such a rapidly growing community that there was room for many other restaurants and bars to open here to accommodate all of the new residents of Lakewood Ranch and the surrounding areas,” Delany said.
