Hurricane Ike destroyed one of our favorite local restaurants, and then robbers stole all of their brand new kitchen equipment. Needless to say, we've anxiously been awaiting the reopening of Top Water Grill for 18 months! They officially opened their doors for business in February, but due to uncommonly cold temperatures, we didn't venture down there until today.
Jacob is in town for his Spring Break, and he loved the atmosphere in our favorite restaurant! The new building is laid out much like the old one, but the ceilings are higher, the windows are permanent, and the walls have lovely underwater murals on them. However, the wood tables and classic concrete floors are still the same. It was too windy to sit outside, but we enjoyed out table by the window, watching the shrimp boats arrive while we ate.
Jacob wasn't quite sure what to make of his red snapper with the tail still on, but it was mighty tasty! I indulged in grilled fish, scallops, and shrimp, which Isaac helped me eat. I've missed my melt-in-the-mouth scallops from Top Water!
The outside is yellow! It's so bright now, and it really stands out! We can't wait to enjoy our favorite restaurant more often now that the weather is getting warmer (and sunnier...squinty eyes!) and Ike damage is no more!
