Sarasota P.F. Chang's to open Monday

The new P.F. Chang’s restaurant at the corner of U.S. 41 and Osprey Avenue will open Monday, June 17.

Construction of the 6,900-square-foot, stand-alone building began in December, and crews spent the last few weeks wrapping up construction. They recently installed the pair of trademark horses in front of the restaurant, and last month, workers were installing tile around the base of the horses.

The restaurant will open at 5 p.m. Monday, according to the P.F. Chang’s corporate website.

P.F. Chang’s China Bistro Inc. operates two restaurant chains: the full-service P.F. Chang’s China Bistro and the quick-casual Pei Wei Asian Diner. Community interest has been especially high for the restaurant because the closest P.F. Chang’s is more than an hour away north or south, in Tampa and Fort Myers. The company operates a Pei Wei on University Parkway just west of I-75.

The restaurant’sregular hours will be: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m Sunday through Thursday  and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
