Make a reservation. Very nice place - we've had several celebrations there. Kids enjoyed the gumbo; I'm partial to the filet mignon and the wedge salad. We also like that they have mini-desserts to just end the meal with a bite of sweetness.

Thoroughly enjoyed Mario's and have been there with family as well as friends. Kids always order fettucine alfredo, and they loved it. I ordered Spaghetti Ellen - spaghetti with sliced grilled chicken tossed in a garlic and olive oil sauce with roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts and kalamata olives - SO good! A vegan friend ordered a veggie pizza, sans cheese. She enjoyed it that evening and as leftovers heated in our toaster oven!

Just what we needed after a long day. Delicious margaritas and that green salsa - Yum! Tacos, enchiladas and quesadillas were also a big hit.

Bars
Right around the corner from Sea La Vie. Very low-key - great place to play a game of pool or watch some sports. You can order food from Seahorse Grill, and they'll deliver it to Dizzy Dorado!
