ALSO for your list.  Tuesday and Thursday night’s are SUSHI night at Blue Water Grill.  The sushi is the real deal.  Super fresh and super delicious.  All of their seafood – cooked and uncooked- is great.  OR Head over to Casa Picasso for their Thursday night Tasting Menu which this week will feature…guess what?  LOBSTER.    For both spots, have your hotel call ahead for a reservation just in case…
