If you are in the mood for fish & seafood, puhleese go no further than Briggs in the Suncoast. Its ambiance, despite the lack of sea water, is of a harbor back east, with plenty of counter space, booths & tables, & I like that the TVs for game watching are not in your face.
We are frequent diners in this restaurant capitol of America & find that no oyster bar features a menu close to this: of everything fresh tasting, like sushi, 2 chowders, pan roast, Cioppino, seafood cobb, filet of sole, salmon, shrimp scampi, lobster roll, the best fish tacos & fish fries, & voila! The best coleslaw in town (& this Wisconsin girl knows), a basket of various rolls, & what could be the secret to their great steak fries?
Most of the happy staff has been with them for many years; and we get the feeling it's the place where everyone still knows your name. And, I might add, the prices are decent for anyone's budget.
We arrived at 5:00 on Sun. for my partner's 75th birthday (where we chose to celebrate mine last year) & people were already arriving. My birthday boy chose the fish & chips w/steak fries & coleslaw, & I had the ample Shrimp & Crab Louis which none other can beat. Briggs has a good liquor selection (incl. Sake) & I chose Kendall-Jackson's chardonnay.
To top off this divine culinary experience, Briggs brought out a terrific chocolate birthday cake. And now, what else could we want?
