FYI: Cash only! We drove from our rental condo and usually dont carry cash anymore. Luckily I had…read moreenough cash to buy a dozen large blue crabs. Good thing a dozen was enough for me and my foodie friend. Some of the crabs were medium sized though. No eating at the premises, best to take out and enjoy where there's shade or AC. We took our time eating the well seasoned steamed crabs as we looked out the window with ocean view. We ordered medium spicy with a side of garlic butter. Delish ! Call ahead for your order as they were almost out of blue crabs when we got there a few minutes after 2pm when she said they're available. I forgot to ask why all the crabs were male. If they sold female crabs and knew it was cash only it would have been 5 stars.

I stopped by River Grille for lunch. It was a nice large casual restaurant with outside seating…read moreoverlooking the Tomoka River where boaters can dock and dine. I chose to sit outside (something I normally don't do) since it wasn't very humid. River Grille offers a diverse menu that mixes a bit of Cajun influence with southern cooking. I placed an order for the Bayou Hurricane, some gator bites, and Citrus Bourbon Salmon served with my choice of two sides (red beans & rice and garlic mashed potatoes). As I was enjoying my refreshing cocktail, the server brought out the gator bites. It was my first time trying them, and they were actually the best thing I've ever tasted. The Cajun remoulade complemented the texture of the alligator, which was fried perfectly and wasn't chewy. The deliciousness continued with the salmon. It was grilled nicely and topped with a tasty sweet citrus bourbon bbq sauce and onion strings. The red beans & rice was cooked to a soft consistency and the mashed potatoes was creamy and flavorful. I would describe my outdoor dining experience as pleasurable --that is, until a squirrel appeared and started going around the tables as if it were a regular patron. It was all smiles until the squirrel climbed up the chair, propped itself on the table, and looked straight at me as if to say, "Hey, you gonna eat the rest of that salmon?" I knew it meant me no harm, so I didn't freak out; however, I wasn't sharing my delicious salmon with it. I slowly grabbed my cocktail with one hand and the plate with the remains of salmon with the other hand as the squirrel scurried toward me. Luckily, two servers saw my predicament and came to shoo the squirrel away. Well, that killed my appetite. I asked for a container for the leftovers and ordered dessert to go. Don't get it twisted, I'm not deterred from coming back, it will just be indoors next time.

The prices are reasonable for what you get. The service was amazing. Sat at the bar every single time. Carlos and the pecan tan Tom Selleck mustache bartender (sorry didn't catch your name) were amazing. Coming from someone who works in hospitality that's the first thing I notice. The service. SPOT ON. Do not skip the clam chowder. I repeat DO NOT skip the clam chowder. It was unbelievably good with bacon or pork in it? Gave it a smoky flavor. Unreal. So good. The Caesar dressing tastes homemade but can't be sure. The oyster combo and baked oysters were the best. Not overcooked like most places and tiny. Just done PERFECTLY. I'd like to take a second to talk about the stuffed grouper. I've never had anything so good. And I'm not even a grouper fan. Wow. One star is missing bc on the next night I decided to try the "famous" steak tips. Nope. As a cook I know what happened. They were marinating in a Worcestershire or type marinade which almost cures/dries the meat and once you cook it, it dries out fast. They were like leather but I didn't complain bc my fat husband ate them and they didn't go to waste. But you can't call something famous and have it be bad. No pictures of the super dry steak tips because honestly who wants to see that? Anyway, we'll be back. My fav restaurant on the east coast!

This will definitely be a repeat for us, and I plan on NOT sharing dinner but gobbling it all up myself as I work through the varied and extensive menu. LOL!
