Thanks Lucie aka Mrs. Schneering :-) I don't know how I did not know about this. So if you are into casual dining with an old Florida style, you will love this place. You can see the fishermen come in with theirs boats, white pelican while having delicious food. My phone was out of batteries, so no pics but here are a few from their website. They even have live music. Its just a few minutes from our townhome in Longboat Key and worth the drive.
