pmd8,
Hunt's is back to it's old self. When they went to the new location, the restaurant totally changed and it received many complaints from people who liked the old Hunt's. Now they are back on target and doing well. Good oysters from Apalachicola.
Regarding Gene's, I posted about eating at Gene's before, but I am rethinking my decision. Last time I was there, I ran into people I know from Destin. With Gene's having only 15 seats, we need to be very selective in who we tell, so that we can have better chances of getting a seat when we go. Gene seems to be doing pretty good, since his recent triple by-pass surgery.
I'll always give you my seat at Uncle Earnie's, as I am not a fan, especially since they have been busted for selling Asian Catfish as Grouper, and upcharging for the Grouper! My guess is that after being checked twice, and reported on the local news ch 13, WMBB, they may walk a tighter line. Fraud is a major killer in the restaurant industry. I cannot remember Uncle Earnie's response to the accusation, but they had an excuse like the server may have picked up the wrong plate out of the window, mistakingly serving the other fish as the grouper. That is very possible, but if I order Grouper, and they upcharge me for grouper, I don't want a server mistake of giving me a cheap substitute.
Has anyone been over to St Andrews lately? That place is being built up quickly.

It's my first time.
