Squid Lips Overwater Bar & Grill

Space Coast


With its outdoor seating, the newest member of the three-restaurant franchise pretty much rules. You cross a moat filled with koi to enter, and the views out over the Banana River are stunning. The Cajun bacon-wrapped scallops and stuffed flounder are excellent.
