For dinner, we decided to try the 15th Street Fisheries, which turned out to be an excellent choice. Although it took awhile to find it due to a non-English-speaking taxi driver, it was worth the journey. The restaurant has a very pleasant location overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway. The upstairs section is for fine dining, with booths and tables arranged so that most diners have a view of the water. It is decorated in a traditional (and expected) nautical theme, and the seating is very comfortable.
The waitstaff was very attentive and prompt. The rum cocktails looked irresistible, so I succumbed! In addition to a huge selection of seafood dishes, the menu had some unusual items on it including kangaroo and alligator! I stuck with a more tried-and-true selection, crab-stuffed flounder, which was outstanding! Each meal comes with a salad, choice of soup, like conch chowder (yum!) and specialty breads. Unfortunately, no room for dessert after a great meal like that! After dinner, we got an extra treat; it was the Fourth of July and fireworks were going off all along the waterway. They looked extra spectacular reflected in the water.
With cocktails and a bottle of wine, the dinner for two was about $100 but well worth the price, given the quality of the food and the ambience.
