Siesta Village

Siesta Key Village

The Village is essentially Siesta Key's main commercial street.  It has a lot of restaurants and shops for tourists and locals.  One of my personal favorites is the Siesta Key Oyster Bar.

Siesta Key Oyster Bar

The last time we went to the S.K.O.B. they were under construction building a new kitchen.  The restaurant next door was being gracious enough to share their kitchen with them.

We sat down on the front wooden deck, so we could enjoy the Siesta Key weather while watching people stroll on by.  As soon as our waitress came up I ordered a dozen fresh oysters.  I think it's the first time my kids have seen their dad eating raw shellfish.  They were good sports and each tried one, and only one.  

My wife and I on the other hand finished the rest, putting a little dab of hot sauce on each one of those little delights.  I was surprised to find out that they are farmed in Pensacola, Florida.  Being from here you would think I should somehow know these things.

After our appetizer, we ordered some basic beach grub.  Things like buffalo chicken wings and pizza.  They were all very good, especially considering they had to cook them in another places kitchen.

As we where leaving I noticed the half dozen or so television sets with all the football games on them.  They must have a package of sorts since most of the games were not on regular cable.  Just because your on vacation doesn't mean you have to miss the games!
