DOLPHINS WATERFRONT BAR & GRILL AT CAPE CROSSING – Seafood
The largest tiki bar on Florida's Space Coast sits on the Canaveral Barge Canal at Cape Crossing Resort and Marina, half covered, half open to the water. The kitchen runs Florida seafood through a Polynesian filter: chargrilled Polynesian-marinated peel-and-eat shrimp with Korean cocktail sauce, house-smoked fish dip, Kalua pork nachos, and shoyu poke over jasmine rice. Bowls carry the room, from Hawaiian garlic shrimp to red Thai curry tofu and a loco moco under mushroom gravy. Pork belly gets the Huli Huli treatment on ciabatta. Weekday happy hour, a twelve-dollar lunch menu, and live music on the water most nights.
