After a brief stroll around the Sailfish Marina at Palm Beach Shores on Singer Island, we came across a large building with a very high roof, built with open post and beam construction and windows that opened the side of the wall to a view of Lake Worth. Inside this inviting tropical structure was the Sailfish Marina Restaurant and Bar. We were able to order from the lunch menu because it was still early in the day. Some interesting offerings on the menu were: Grilled Dolphin Sandwich, $7.95; Crab cake sandwich, $6.75;and some interesting appetizers: Conch Fritters, $6.95; Smoked Fish Dip, $7.25.
Bob ordered a Black Angus Beef Burger, $6.95. When the waiter took his order he asked if Bob would like cheese and bacon on his burger. The cheese was an additional $.75 and the bacon $1.50. I ordered Caribbean Crab Nachos, $9.95 and was asked if I’d like salsa with it. The salsa was an additional $2.50. The price of the extras was listed on the menu but we didn’t expect to see them there so we didn’t notice until we got the bill for $30.35. We have had the same thing happen in a few other restaurants in Florida, especially in this area so we should have anticipated it.
Our meals were served on huge platters. My colorful nachos were layered with melted cream cheese, crabmeat, mangos, black bean and jalapenos. The meal did need the half cup of salsa to taste just right. It was fun to just sit there and watch all the activity on the lake while we ate. Bob’s Angus Beef burger was huge. Besides the bacon and melted cheese, it had lettuce, tomatoes and onion. He said it tasted great. Fries and pickles were two sides that came with it.
The food was nicely prepared and it tasted great; we couldn’t have had better atmosphere any where. Desserts offered on the menu included Key Lime Pie, Pecan Pie, and Triple Chocolate Cake for $5.50 apiece but we were trying to cut back the calories so we declined.
