This place is probably closed by now. Heard it was from the rumor mill.
I hate to say it makes me happy because I really try to support local spots. This one is so close to my house and I want it to be good so badly. Its been through at least three different names/owners over the last couple years (Hammerheads, Portofino's Beach Bar, and Dirty Pelican).
Every one of them were horrible. Mediocre food at best. Decent drink prices but the ambiance is just atrocious.
Ever want to have a beer at Wal-Mart or your local aquarium store? Me either. This place is a cross between them. Unappealing, uninviting, just poor all the way around.
Advice to the new owner... Change the beach theme and lose the aquariums. The place needs to be gutted. Make us want to come in and when we get there give us service that makes us want to stay.
The last time I was in there we had pretty bad service from the bartender. He didn't notice us for quite a while sitting at the bar after we arrived (it was slow). Then it was just poor from there on. He didn't seem to know the food specials. My wife and I both gave each other the "wow" look. How does the bartender not know the happy hour specials?
Turns out we get our bill and the guy (bartender) tells us he is the owner and to come back again soon. WHAT!?
If owned a bar...
