Totally doesn't sound like my kind of place! Looks beautiful, but again, I'm from New Orleans!

The Pickles!! They come with the sliders and are amazing.
My hubby had the Lamb, Stone crab claws, and mussels. He like those

So tell me what to order, please.
Big D totally intimidates hovering waiters without saying anything (his body language and his predator "look" is his trademark), so that won't be a problem for us.
Too attentive waiters are far better than those who seem to have clocked out or are out back taking a cigarette break. :roll:
In the reasons for me to return to a restaurant, food is #1, service is #2, price is #3, and ambiance is a factor.

I totally agree.
There is always the option to kindly ask too attentive service to relax.
There's rarely a positive fix or solution for that other kind of service.

Finally some creativity and great food!
My wife and I had a fantastic dinner last Friday with the honor of sitting at the "Chef's Table." Chef David keenly moved about his kitchen observing and ensuring the quality of his menu was at its highest as it left the kitchen.
Those of you who mentioned too much attention may need to learn to appreciate proper service. I agree with the above, kindly ask for less service. "There's rarely a positive fix or solution for that other kind of service." Well said.
The food was some of the most creative I have seen on the panhandle in some time. If you want standard fried fish, hit a fry house or tourist restaurant. What you'll find here are some unique creations using local staples and products. Well done Sean, Chip and Chef David!

Great for you!
I went back last Saturday and was disappointed again. Cheese plate was awesome though. Just read an article in Bon Appitete. they were talking about waiting for reviews(past) but that now restaurants need to be ready right away for reviews. I will stick to my favorites...30A, etc. thanks for trying though! They will still be busy with the location, style of restaurant, etc.

Finally checked them out - I love the big round bar and plan to be a frequent visitor. Love that there is lots of room all around it, so you can hang out in the bar even if the seats are full and not be getting in the way of servers or crowding people.
We got a couple apps to share and liked them - the only bad part was that we kept getting shell bits in the raw oysters, a first for me. They had run out of one thing I really wanted to try (a good thing IMO as it usually means fresher ingrediants are being used and totally understandable considering it was an hour wait for a table), so I will try it next time.
Didn't have a problem with overattentive service - the great service there (except for one rude girl who is apparently being replaced) was a welcome change to the absentee/lackluster service that is sadly the norm at many places.
IMO if they can get the kitchen issues worked out it will be a HUGE success. And if they don't, I'll leave the dining area to the tourists and happily enjoy the bar.

We had great food and great service! Everyone at our table enjoyed their meal - we all had some form of fish. We were also given cornbread & vegetables. The service was top notch - there when we needed it, no hovering when we didn't need it. The overall feel of the restaurant is high end and it's a beautiful space. I'd like to eat outside at one of the tables along 30A sometime. The prices were a little steep, so it will be for special occasions for us. I think they'll be slammed all summer with the tourists.
We own a house a couple of blocks from V and weren't too sure what to think when the plans were originally announced, but feel differently now. The restaurant is beautiful inside and out. It's great to have a few more places within walking distance to the house for our guests and to have such a great looking street corner at a main intersection.

Not to be rude, but could you be more specific? What did you have to eat, drink, etc.
