The best seafood on the beach — full stop. Named after the famous fishing grounds 100 miles offshore, this family-owned gem has been serving TI since 2006. The bar is casual and genuinely inviting, making it a perfect date night spot. Order the three-nut crusted black grouper with mango beurre blanc — it's legendary. The steaks, coconut almond shrimp, Prince Edward Island mussels and nightly catch of the day are all must-orders too. Named a Florida Trend Magazine Top 500 restaurant.
