Frequently Asked Questions

We have many standards in place to ensure our restaurant is at the highest cleanliness level throughout the entire day. The only sensible way to thoroughly clean our restaurant after lunch and before dinner (without affecting our guests’ experience) is through this small closing window between shifts. This also allows us time to have our daily in-depth employee meeting where we go over specials & focus points.
A: It is our legal responsibility to safely monitor all guests that come into our establishment, especially when it pertains to the SAFE consumption of alcoholic beverages. To properly follow this standard, we must be the sole provider of alcoholic beverages so we can properly monitor consumption.
A: Reservations would severely limit the number of guests we are able to feed daily. Our “First Come, First Serve” policy gives all our guests an equal chance to dine with us every night. Keep in mind that we do stop serving food at 3:00 pm & 10pm respectively, and on super high demand shifts, we may have to cut off new parties if our quote times exceed our hours of operation. So, no matter the day or the occasion, you can always be guaranteed a spot to dine with us with proper planning!

EPENEPHELUS PLASTICUS / BURLAPUS

(…The Square Grouper)

SIZE: 3’(91 cm) to 28″(71 cm) firmly compressed and square-like in appearance. WEIGHT: Average weight 50 lbs.

COLOR: Greenish brown with scattered dark spots. Often observed with chain like hemp colored lines running dorsal to ventral and horizontally around the entire fish.

COMMENTS: The Square Grouper is one of the most commercially important and prized groupers of The Florida Keys waters. It is not very wary and often caught by hand and just hauled into the boat in this manner. It is a popular sport fish and often occurs in accessible areas. Consequently, the Square Grouper has declined in number and is now protected in the Florida Keys. Often identified by the common Latin names such as Potus, Weedus, Dopus, Gonjus, Cannibus & Marijuanabus, this prized fish often brought up to $25,000 a square!
