"Went there to look at the hotel that will get torn down soon. It was where Elvis stayed in 1961 when he filmed his 9th movie Follow That Dream , and where over 200 people from Hollywood stayed in 1964 including Don Knotts when they had the first ever underwater premier of The Incredible Mr. Limpet in Weeki Wachee. They all stayed at the hotel and bussed down Rt 19 to Weeki Wachee for the premier using mermaids and underwater screens. It still looks the same. Youtube The Incredible Mr. Limpet and scroll around to Press Junkets and you 'll see it. Anyhow, Margarita Breeze is in between both sections of the hotel. It was a banner day, 75 degrees and 44% humidity. Unreal for Florida. Gorgeous. My wife had the Scallops Bercy (special; scallops in a creamy white wine sauce, vegetable and a roll. I had the Big Bay Burger: A pound of USDA Choice beef topped with cheese, bacon, sauteed onions, mushrooms and chili. I held off on the chili, but got fries. I had three large raspberry iced teas, my wife had 2 large peach iced iced teas (all those flavored ones are to die for, no cheap watered down stuff and they are cold, not warm iced tea in ice, they are cold in ice. It was served delightfully by our waitress Aurelia . She attended to us like family. Everything was cooked to perfection. I can 't believe I ate the whole thing. It was pleasant looking out over Kings Bay watching Tarpon and Manatee and the boaters. Everybody was so pleasant. Weekend nights have live music and the place jumps. Check it out sometime. Well we did. We are return customers, and why, because this place is good! This time we brought our Sister-in-Law from NJ. We got there around 11:30am on Veteran 's Day and sat outside by the water. And what a beautiful day! Our server was once again Aurelia who is truly a special person. She promptly brought out our drinks and appetizers of fried pickles. They were delicious. We ordered the Grilled Mahi Mahi, The Big Bay Burger and the Corned Beef Reuben. All was served promptly and was very delicious. My sister-in-law wanted to eat somewhere that was not a chain, but rather somewhere special. We took her here. She loved it and once again, so did we. This was exactly what she was looking for. I have to give kudos to everyone, from the greeters to the line chefs. They were all polite, professional and prepared. If Sammy (the owner is there, let him show you his fork bending routine. It’s a very good bit of close up magic. It’s very close up and will leave you scratching your head."
