Thanks Keith, thanks for your recommendation. We'll definitely give Cuvee Beach another try. We actually prefer sitting in the bar area of most restaurants anyway. The service is usually better and it's generally more cordial. And since FL is a no smoking STATE .. bar areas are generally the best!

Thanks for reminding me about Vintij! We've bought wines there several times and had lunch there once. It was very nice treat. I know what you mean about tourists and their cell phones. I long for the day when restaurants have cell phone zappers just like ones for flies and mosquitos! Turn'em off!!

Thanks again,
John and Barbara
