I've been to Hollywood Beach twice now, many restaurants and bars to choose from, range of quality and price. Brunch, 8 minute walk north to Marriot Hotel, on the beachside, open but covered terrace with outdoor bar, several tables with umbrellas are outside the enclosure on the "broadwalk" (promenade), prices as low as $12 & $13; (the rest are south) Sahara a 4 minute walk (look past plastic chairs), burgers start at $10 and very good, two-for-one "drink of the day" every day, all day. Spent hours watching the staff, remarkable cooperation and coordination, they pool the tips, lavish patrons with attention, and rotate continuously to the broadwalk to entice customers with their charm, it was like a choreographed dance routine; Taco Beach Shack a 13 minute stroll (along A1A@Arizona), lots of outdoor seating covered by number of awnings, weekend live Spanish music, Tacos start at $4, substantial nacho platter $10.50, excellent service; my favorite, Ocean Ally 8 minutes away, my favorite, good food, half price margaritas weekdays from 3:30 to 7pm, and as expected, slightly more expensive menu but better food, friendly staff, seems the owner is always there. Barkeep makes margaritas not on the menu. On the inland waterway, Stranahan River, across from Taco Shack is Taverna Opa, Greek, good food, beautiful place to dine by the water...the kind of place where, "we aren't open yet, but you can take a table and order drinks until we are..."
