723 Whiskey Bravo

Yes. I liked the more casual menus. I miss the wings. Don't get me started on the Victoria salad. We used to like to go there, sit at the bar, watch sports, and have dinner. I don't like spending almost 30 dollars for an entrée when I'm drinking beer and watching sports. We went there many times during the Christmas-New Year's period and during spring break.

I'm at the beach pretty much all summer. Hubby is working hard back home. I was gonna do takeout from WB but the new menu is too pricey. If I'm gonna dine alone and spend 30 bucks for dinner, I'll eat at the bar at Borago and talk to Joy, Tiffany, Abby, and Joey.

Yes, we ate there several times each trip with the old menu. With the new menu, we haven't been back...

I love the new bar and lunch menu, old food was horrible!

Agree that the dinner menu is overpriced - even for 30a.

Whiskey Bravo has priced themselves out of our budget for casual dinners. Wonder if anything will change after the summer season as far as prices or specials for locals that keep these places in business after vacationers go home.

If you were fans of Smiling Fish at Gulf Place, the lunch menu at Whiskey Bravo is an exact replica. The legendary calamari salad is back! I haven't been for dinner but the lunch is spot on.

Does anyone else want the old menu back?

No.

If I may ask, what specifically about the old menu do you miss? If you want mediocre bar fare served at cut rate prices, McTighe's and Shades are going strong. You might also notice that there is actually evidence of invested management now with George taking over. If you want a hamburger and beer, order off the bar menu, it is always available at lunch and dinner. The fish sandwich I had off the bar menu two weeks ago at dinner was to die for, with a piece of fish bigger than what you might see served as an entree. If it is too expensive, well, what can I say other than that you get what you pay for. Case in point-the kitchen had the grease and damage in one year of operation under the old regime that one would usually not see for many years. The kitchen had to be wholly broken down and redone because it was a nasty operation. But it was cheap. Bon apetit.

Here's the dinner menu. No entrees under $25. http://723whiskeybravo.com/menus/dinner-menu/

Here's the happy hour menu. No items mentioned. http://723whiskeybravo.com/menus/happy-hour/

I'm at the beach a lot by myself. I liked to sit at the bar and watch sports. I don't see a bar menu on their website.I liked their wings. Like I said, if I'm gonna dine alone and spend 25-30 bucks for an entree, I'll eat at the bar at Borago and talk to Joy, Tiffany, Abby, and Joey.

Bar dining rules because you get the main course almost immediately. At happy hour, I'm happy with marginally edible food. If it's free, that's even better.

We have eaten off the bar menu before upstairs and it was great- nobody ordered an entree. We have also eaten bar menu items at the downstairs bar. Maybe you have to ask for it?

George Barne's lunch menu is one of the best in town, with the best salads IMO. I would be totally happy if the lunch menu was available for dinner!

I'm sure time will tell.

I do like the lunch menu (although I miss the wings). But for dinner I'd like to see the bar menu that is not online because that's what I'd like to order takeout from when I'm alone. I just don't see the bar menu online. See screenshot below.

Cannot comment as to online, but love the revised lunch and bar menu. Tuna tartare or calamari are my dinner bar faves, companions love the grouper sandwich.

The old food and service were crap. The current food could certainly go down a buck or two and the service is still in need of improvement, but a return to the old menu is a very bad idea.

I'll give them another chance. I'd be a nice opportunity to treat my SoWal friends to dinner. You know who you are.

Bar menu BR! Maybe they don't publish the bar menu b/c they don't want to encourage a transformation too far to the casual side? You will not be disappointed. The old WB was awful. An interesting activity-go to Yelp and read the WB reviews pre and post George taking the operation over. Very revealing.

It took about 30 seconds for me to tell!

Will do.

The old menu was better suited for what we locals really want. The new menu is caters to tourists. Let's see what happens this winter.

Hey George! I had no idea you knew how to get on the Internet let alone respond to a forum.

Bring back the old menu! Food was great & prices were reasonable. Loved the spinach salad with polenta. Now the only thing fit to eat is the pina colada.

If I wanted to pay a fortune for bad food, I could go to Cafe 30-A.

The old menu was disgusting and was going to drive the place out of business.Can't believe anyone liked it.

WOW - we eat at Cafe 30A at least twice a month year round. Consistent quality food and service. Blasting them for perhaps a bad experience is a bit bush league. REALLY...

Cafe 30A is the REAL deal always

Glad you like it. Not my cup of tea.

I started this thread and wanted to make a few comments on the post.


No disrespect to George at all. I am sure his food is great. I ate at Smiling Fish all the time and was happy.

A couple said the old food was horrible...that is just not right.

I loved the Reuben, shrimp and grits, seafood nachos and the gumbo was great. My kids loved everything on the kiddie menu.

What we like more than the food was the environment...beach views, sports and we even had a waitress that we called in advance for every time. Service, views, food and atmosphere. We LOVED it and ate there literally 2 times a week since its opening.

The prices and type of food is not as "MY Family" friendly. Other families may love it. Just wanted to make that point.


As for the same poster that always argues with me and everyone else and whom I think is narrow minded and probably just bored since they post on every topic...

I have answered what I missed. The cut rate price thing I don't understand and Johnny McTighes and Shades do very well...so no need to knock them either. I think that Johnny puts out some of the best product on 30-A. I have already stated I don't want Hamburgers and beer. I like gumbo and a nice wine or a Reuben and beer while watching the game with many of my local friends who also feel the same way. To expensive is not the issue. see above reasons. I could give a damn about how the kitchen looked. Not my fault...owner and mgmt.'s fault. Regime is a little absurd to say.

I was just stating I missed the old menu. There was nothing on 30-A truly comparable with the views. I am sure all will agree.

George I hope to meet you some day but from my post I do not think I have attacked the new mgmt. or restaurant. Just miss the old menu. Enough said. Love 30-A love its people love living in paradise. Hope to see you all soon. I am tired of typing and will not check for errors and grammar. Please and you know who you are don't attack me for "lack of education" or "bad taste" or whatever.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but this thread is the only place I have ever heard anyone say anything positive about the old menu. (Who wasn't being paid to do so.)
