January 16th, 2007 – Jeff’s Dinner!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Jan.17, 2007, under What\'s New?
My brother, Jeff, treated his mother, her husband, Sandra, myself, friend Ann Sabo and my father to dinner at the Rattle Fish Raw Bar and Grill. Good fish food. The place has a problem with noise. My bad ears were useless. I couldn’t hear anybody speaking and I was afraid to start talking for fear I’d be asking a lot of “What!?”‘s. They desparately need lots and lots of light fixtures. My good eyes fought to read the menu, especially with the small type. To be honest I really wasn’t sure what I ordered.

The drawing is looking out and up toward the restaurant’s deck leading out to Tampa Bay.
The restaurant was odd in that it apparently is about to be incorporated with a condo project. They won’t let you forget about it. There are giant signs, smaller signs and banners outside the restaurant. Another sign as you walk in the door with an architects conceptual drawing. There are placecards on all of the tables and still another add on the menu. The restaurant is on Tampa Bay and there is a concrete post in the water with a giant sign attached for those boating by. Some P.R. person needs to be fired. I’m going to a restaurant, not a sales presentation.
