Here's what we just learned due to procrastinating:
Stinky's: Reservations only, FULL, except for open bar seating (no kids); 3-, 4-, or 5-course menu or regular menu.
Pizza By The Sea: Closed early for NYE
Shorty's Surfside: Open, seating, no reservations needed, and a good special on 8 oz filet + crab cakes & 2 sides for $23.50.
Angelina's - we just picked up a pizza to go and they have plenty of seating.
