Family affair

Steve and Joe Seidensticker are big cheeses on the Sarasota restaurant scene.

The father-and-son team is behind area favorites such as Libby's Cafe & Bar, Louies Modern, Muse at The Ringling and their newest restaurant concept, Oak & Stone, in east Manatee County. More Oak & Stone locations are in the works, including spots in St. Petersburg and Orlando.

The Seidenstickers run Tableseide Restaurant Group, along with two of Steve Seidensticker's other children, Lisa Seidensticker and Patrick Seidensticker. Joe is the CEO of the group, Steve is the president, Lisa is the chief operating officer and Patrick is the chief financial officer. The only non-family member involved in the group's leadership is partner Jeff Greco.
