SARASOTA — Longboat Key lost an iconic restaurant on Saturday night.

Longtime resident and former Colony Beach & Tennis Resort executive chef Tommy Klauber prepared and served his last dinners as owner of PG's restaurant, the Bayfront restaurant also known as Pattigeorge's.

Klauber and his wife, Jaymie, are expected to close on the sale of the restaurant Tuesday, June 28 after operating it since September 1997, according to the Longboat Observer, sister paper of the Business Observer.
