Families and older couples prefer the quirky yet well-dressed setting of this roadside steak-and-seafood restaurant with an indoor-outdoor fish-and-duck pond. It was built in 1980 to look like a ship, back when Florida City was barely on the map. Etched glass divides the bi-level dining rooms, with velvet-upholstered chairs, an aquarium, and nautical antiques. The big menu has 12 seafood entrées, including stuffed grouper (a favorite), Florida lobster tails, and snapper Oscar, plus another half-dozen daily seafood specials, as well as poultry, ribs, and steaks. At lunch there are burgers and seafood sandwiches, and there's a happy-hour buffet all day until 7 PM in the lounge for $2.25 and the purchase of a drink. Friday and Saturday are dance nights with live entertainment.
