This time, my wife and I decided to try the River Grille, as it looked good and got good reviews. We parked and walked in. We were greeted by the hostess and asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside. Since the weather was beautiful and we wanted to check out the river view, we chose to sit outside. We were led to the outside deck, the restaurant was busy, but we still managed to get a table on the rail with a view of the Tomoka River. While it was nice to sit near the river, the deck was quite high, and the view was spoiled by a busy highway bridge. Still, it was a nice view and relaxing, despite the constant flow of traffic. We were given menus and ordered drinks. Our nice server brought us our drinks, and we ordered. I chose Clam Chowder and a pound of Peel & Eat Shrimp, and my wife chose Fish & Chips. The food came pretty quickly, and the chowder was rich and creamy, loaded with clams. My Peel & Eat Shrimp was just as I hoped, tender and tasty, and definitely local shrimp, not farmed. I had a bit of my wife's fish, and while the batter was indeed thin and crispy, it didn't have much flavor. Good, but we were a bit disappointed. All in all, a nice lunch. I would come back here and try something else. The menu is quite extensive.
