'''Jamie's Restaurant''' was an upscale restaurant in the [[Seville Square Historic District]] that specialized in French cuisine. It was located at 424 East [[Zaragoza Street]], in an [[1879]] cottage with a maximum seating capacity of 55. Originally the '''Seville Sweetshop''', it became a full-service restaurant and was renamed for owner [[Jamie Kirkland]] in [[1981]]. Ray & Nell Redish purchased the restaurant from Kirkland and expanded the concept to fine dining. Among the original staff were headwaiter [[Gary Serafin]] and busboy [[Russell Scarritt]], both of whom would eventually become owners. ! Under chef [[Libbey Dasher]] and assistant [[Missy Hy]], the restaurant garnered numerous awards. Serafin bought Dasher out and became a chef in is own right, with his talent & efforts bringing fine cuisine & ambiance to the area. Under Serafin's watch Jamie's French Restaurant was the first in the region to receive awards from Wine Spectator & Florida Trend Magazine. Russell & Linda Scarritt purchased the restaurant from Serafin on New Year's Eve, December 1999.
