El Gran Escape

El Gran Escape Review

A favorite with sportfishermen ("You hook 'em, we cook 'em"), the Great Escape is the town's best place for seafood. The menu is dominated by seafood entrées, from shrimp scampi to fresh tuna with mushrooms to bouillabaisse and paella. You can also get hearty burgers, or a handful of Mexican dishes, and there's a kids' menu. You won't find any billfish, like marlin or swordfish, on the menu, owing to their conservation policy, but the back wall is covered with pictures of them (and their proud reelers). Weathered fishing caps hang from the bar's ceiling.

    I had some outstanding mahi mahi here. They also have a surprisingly large wine selection and great desserts.
    It was a little on the pricey side but overall I had a great meal.
