"The Ocean Breeze Lounge & Tapas Grille opened towards the end of 2009 and occupies the spot formerly held by Mulligan’s.  It sits right on the waterfront of Boca Ciega Bay and allows folks to sit outside on the deck overlooking the sand and water or sit inside in their modern dining area, bar, and waiting area.   This is not exactly Gulf front, but a dandy location regardless. You can even pull up in your boat at the dock.  The menu here is quite upscale (check it on our menu link), and the seared ahi is said to be excellent.  Looks like a nice enough place.........yah, and a Brunch is offered from 10 to 1 on Sundays.  Check out the website - quite interesting.  If you’ve had the Ocean Breeze experience, the world is waiting to read your review!  Thanks......... we ’prishiate it......"

"...Let me start by saying that I love their airy outdoor patio. I think it probably is the single best thing going for the restaurant/lounge. It is right on the Inter-coastal and features all this great looking gray modern wicker furniture. (Doesn’t that sound like an oxymoron!). It offers a sophisticated and relaxing atmosphere that is a breath of fresh air when it comes to the standard Gulf Coast beach fare. I don’t understand it but a place like Ocean Breeze fills a niche that is completely overlooked on the beach as everything seems to be another dive bar or ultra casual fried fish shack. Thank goodness for people trying to be a little different.  I think it is safe to say that combination of a Hoegaarden (which they serve along with Blue Point), yummy small plates, and watching dolphins on the Inter-coastal is a winner.
