On the Water
Places where you can enjoy a drink or food sitting outside by the water. Watching the boats and it’s entertaining to me watching people.
Great place to have a drink, appetizers, lunch or brunch. A little hard to find, but worth it. Chicken and waffles with black pepper syrup is my favorite brunch item. Drinks are great, great service, the higher side Of the $$.

Breakfast and Brunch
Whether you’re just going for a simple breakfast or wanna hang out and have bottomless mimosas. These are my favorites.
If you’re heading to the beach and maybe a little hungover from a late night. Floridian can usually seat you right away. Or you can sit at the bar. Have a chocolate chip muffin toasted with your coffee. Standard breakfast. I seem to always get 2 eggs / 2 bacon with 2 French toast.
