Whiskey bravo closing?

Oh wow. Then again.. the service was so incredibly horrible most of the time that no matter the great location, nice building, and feasibly decent menu/prices, there's just no way people were going to keep going there. I hope someone with awesome restaurant management skills takes over. It once took us two hours to get our check and pay and leave there. Four hours total for the meal. And we eventually left, paying for things we never got or ordered, just so we could get out and get on with our lives.

They posted just a few hours ago about the upcoming football season and watching at WB. So... this could be untrue. Still, you would have a rough time getting me back in there after my last few experiences.

If it does stay open I sure hope they make some changes. It is such a nice restaurant with alot to offer.
They need someone/manager with a reputation that has the experience and following to bring the place up to par!
I truly hope it doesn't close that would be ashame

We've always had excellent service and good food. The upper level has nice views of the GOM and very comfortable settings. Hopefully just a lousy rumor which is terrible to spread without verification.

Did not mean to spread gossip- was just wondering if what we were told had any credence to it.

We had lunch there this week and the food & service were both good.

If you are really concern, you could always contact the restaurant management and ask them.....

Whiskey Bravo is not closing. The owners have quite a passion for it and have invested a lot more than just money.

They are huge sports fans and are planning a lot of activities this fall, including lots of screens with lots of football. They also now have a much better view from their roof deck since Seagrove Villas Motel is gone.

That's great to hear. Whiskey Bravo is a lovely place.

"now that the Seagrove Villas are gone"? What a tragedy. The owners should have bought the villas instead of putting more than money into that new building. I personally think walking down the stairs in sight of the dumpsters was poor planning, and I would have rather looked at the villas rather than the sight of more new construction when we have so many empty building as it is.

View will be great until the four new homes go up across the street with three of the four lots are already under contract.

My family and I have been to WB at least 20 times since it opened. The service has been excellent every time and the food wonderful. We always bring our out of town guest to eat also. Favorite item is the Reuben, with seafood nachos and a cup of gumbo. Glad to see that eyesore across the street leveled...ready to see some beautiful homes instead. Also love the dumpster by the stairs... Sometimes we have to many and get inside of the dumpster and play!!!!

Sigh

We'll have to try WB when we get there and will enjoy a new rooftop deck with a view of the Gulf. It's sad though to hear the Seagrove Villas Motel referred to as an "eyesore". While for years I have feared (read "known") as many have, that its razing was inevitable due to market pressures and other issues, but to refer to it in such a blanket derogatory manner seems quite callous to me. Or was this tongue in cheek? The Villas certainly had its share of faults but it also possessed many great attributes and contributed to so many wonderful memories for generations. Dancing on its grave not appropriate, IMHO.

I always am respectful of others opinion. My parents came down and stayed at the Villas the week before it went down. Their opinion was that it was a dump. I went in their room and agree completely. WB is a cool building just like the V and some of the homes just across the street from the V. This building is not Carngie (SP) Hall or the Waldorff Astoria. Sometimes getting rid of the old and welcoming the new can be a positive thing for the area. I hope that in the future some more of the old cinder block homes in seagrove go away also to newer and more beautiful homes and we can start new and fresh memories.

Right. It suffered there at the end as most foreclosed properties do. You missed my point.

So, you are not from here nor do you live here yet you want to sit up on your perch and tell us whom are from here for generations what YOU think we should do with our historic buildings so YOU can come down and see a view that suits YOU? Gee thanks, how have we ever gotten this far without your kind.

This is why laws are passed to create historic preservation districts. Without legal protection, "demolition by neglect" leads to towns classifying properties as blighted, and down they come, so that developers can have their way. Buildings from 100+ years ago are somewhat less at risk, due to their quaintness. It's the 50 year old stuff, like we have in SoWal, that is always at the worst risk. Just look at the nifty old beach cottages that have come down in the last few years. With our developer-dominated BCC, it's sad to say that's it's very unlikely that we'll get any historic protection in SoWal. Our loss, and that of our descendents...

I don't think the well-maintained Villas remotely approached "eyesore" status, although that word and "blight" are the classic favorite language of aspiring developers coveting demolition of a historic property.

Love love love the old cinderblock cottages. Very retro, cool, and Old Florida.

good lord, are you a child?

No. What about my post makes you ask that?

We really can't expect non locals to understand our attachment to our beach and all the great things we grew up with..that neon sign always made me smile. WB is nice and im always happy to see new business but nothing will ever be better than the wheelhouse's fried chicken..if u want all the fluff go stay at Rosemary or Alys..Man leave the grove alone its what makes us special

I always enjoyed eating lunch at the Wheelhouse. Such a diverse and interesting crowd. Locals, construction workers, vacationers, and more. Won't see that at Whiskey Bravo.

I hear ya. We saved all of the natural vegetation at the home we built in Seagrove in 2002. In particular, the live oaks and saw palmettos. I took a class from Randy at the former Gourd Garden. It makes me sad that the newbies don't get the meaning of Seagrove. The cinderblock is so cool. Seagrove Villas were so cool. You can't replace historical architecture.

So sad. Most people will soon not understand the meaning of SeaGROVE as in Seagrove.
