Everyone has one particular part of going out to eat that they look forward to the most. Some want to get straight to a satisfying entrée, while others enjoy savoring an appetizer or a refreshing beverage first over some great conversation with family and friends. And some would rather skip the meal altogether and get straight to a decadent dessert or two!

So why is the Seared Ahi Tuna one of the biggest table pleasers among the guests at Sarasota restaurants like Stonewood? Take a look at four reasons you should consider including this popular appetizer in your next meal out with family and friends.
Stonewood never uses anything but the best ingredients, which is why the ahi tuna used in the Seared Ahi Tuna appetizer is always sushi-grade. Is there a sushi pro in your party who only eats the highest quality fish? They’re sure to be pleased after just one bite of this signature entrée.
What if you don’t have a sushi connoisseur among your party dining out — but rather a seafood newbie who has never ventured from the flavor palettes of the land to those of the sea?
Though the Seared Ahi Tuna is made with fish so fresh it could be served raw, this appetizer is lightly seared so that your companion can try out a delicious seafood dish that’s prepared similarly to some of their favorite chicken or steak offerings.
Ordering the perfect appetizer to please everyone at your table can be difficult. What if the dish is too big or small for the number of people in your party? Luckily, the Seared Ahi Tuna at Stonewood comes in two sizes so that you can order the perfect amount of seared goodness for your table.
You may have heard that a bite of ginger is the best way to cleanse your palate between dishes. With fresh ginger as well as a sesame ginger dressing, the Seared Ahi Tuna is sure to do just that (while exciting your taste buds as well).
