This last Sunday a bunch of us took boats and jet ski's across the bay to Nicks. Flounder, snapper, grouper, shrimp and fresh blue crabs.
What a treat.
This is how you know what your really getting over there.........
I ordered snapper and the waitress came back to me and said they had run out of snapper. Most restaurants would have thrown some tile on my plate.
You gotta love that place!:love: i

Finally checked Mitchell's out and loved it! Great to have a dedicated seafood restaurant - even if most of it isn't local. Prices were good, food was good - not overcooked, a common issue w/ seafood, service made up in effort what it lacked in knowledge/experience.

Just a quick comment on Mitchell's before I get yelled at for checking on the message board while on vacation (apparently my husband has no idea how addicting all you people are :love: ). We just had dinner there and even though it is a chain and we are from Ohio were it originated (have 1 located very near our home), we've never been there. We were impressed with service and freshness. My son and brother-in-law had grouper which the daily menu claims was delivered fresh today from Destin. It was excellent. I wouldn't exactly say their presentation was simply average or even begin to compare them to an Applebee's or Fridays. We have been visiting this area for the past 6 or 7 years and love the local places too. I will say that this years visit to the Red Bar was very average (except for the band). My dinner at Mitchell's was far superior. That does not mean I'll never return to the Red Bar or Bud and Alley's.

I do agree with Beach Runner...I will never be caught in Starbuck's anywhere on 30-A. Give me Cerulean's or Modica any day and in case anyone didn't know you get free coffee refills at Cerulean's!

Anyway, just my opinion. But I wouldn't knock Mitchell's until you try it.

Kimbug, until you posted this I didn't realize this was a Cameron Mitchell restaurant. We have a Columbus Fish Market and Cameron's very close by. We don't go often but when we have it has always been top notch!
Enjoy the rest of your vacation!

Kimbug, looking at your avatar, I can guess exactly where you are staying in SoWal. Well, not the exact unit number, but I know that strip of beach with the wacky-colored rental umbrellas. Don't get arrested down there on the beach.

BTW, can you take care of one particular red tent, for a particular cat?

Sure, SJ. Anything for you. What is it you'd like me to take care of? I'm here until Sunday. I figured from previous threads that I was in the "danger zone." We'll behave as best we can ;-) !
