TROPICAL GRILL – Mexican
Waterfront on Shoal Line Boulevard with its own dock, a tiki-bar looseness to the whole operation, and live music on weekends — boats tie up, the beach crowd wanders in sandy. The kitchen is seafood-first: Maine lobster rolls with onion rings, blackened grouper sandwiches, raw oysters by the dozen, conch fritters, boom boom shrimp, cajun shrimp rolls and house lobster bisque, with wings and tenders for anyone not in the mood for fish. Diners mention the view and the prices in the same breath. A good end to a day on the water.
