Maine-ly New England - Zephyrhills

Having grown up in the suburbs of New York City, I frequently ventured into the city for lunch by myself, typically with a book in hand. I've always found it easy to strike up conversations with other solo diners. However, I cannot recommend this restaurant unless you have several hours to spare, as I spent most of my time waiting for service. I arrived for lunch around 1 p.m., and it wasn't until 3:30 that I finally returned home.

The staff were friendly, but the food was disappointing. We had high hopes for our visit, but they just didn't deliver. My wife, who hardly ever sends anything back, had to return her steak twice because it was cooked well done instead of medium, making it inedible. I ordered a seafood platter, which I found equally unappetizing. We ended up spending $40 for a meal for three and left feeling hungry. I wouldn't recommend it—save your time and money.

I absolutely love this restaurant! It's the best spot for seafood. The all-you-can-eat shrimp is my favorite!
