The Original Wolfie’s & Rascal in Sarasota, a New York-style and Jewish deli that opened to big fanfare Nov. 2 only to temporarily close two days later due to staffing shortages, has reopened with limited hours.
The reopening, first reported Thursday by the Restaurants in Sarasota Facebook page, was confirmed by an Original Wolfie’s spokesperson Friday morning. The hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and plans are to expand the hours as more staff comes on board and is trained. The spokesperson says no other information was available on the reopening, including a full reopening date.
It’s been a whiplash kind of month for the restaurant, at 1420 Boulevard of the Arts in the Rosemary District, just north of downtown Sarasota.
