Restaurants and bars

Bars, kitchens and one counter

We buy locally where it is genuinely better and say so plainly where it is not.

Gulf coastal · $$$

Belzarona

Snapper, grouper and shrimp off the boats at Joe Patti's, cooked simply on the pierhead.

Raw bar · $$

Over the water on the east pier. Oysters, ceviche, cold beer and your feet actually in the water.

Cocktails · $$$

At the end of the middle pier facing west, which is the only sensible place to be at seven.

Coffee & bakery · $

Coffee, a guava pastry and a breakfast sandwich, taken on the boardwalk watching the rays.

Poolside · $$

Between the piers, with three pools and a kitchen that does not take itself seriously.

Practical

Every kitchen keeps an allergen matrix at the pass and every menu is available in large print. Tell whoever seats you and they will tell the kitchen.

Welcome everywhere except the gaming floor and the bars after 8 PM. There is a proper children's menu rather than three fried things.

Full vegetarian and vegan options at every venue, not a single substitution, and gluten-free bread made rather than bought in.

There is no dress code anywhere. We ask for smart dress in one room late in the evening and we ask it kindly.
