He is still there, but I just talked to him less than 2 weeks ago and he mentioned at the end of this year (end of his lease it sounded like) that he was not going to re-new. His original place in town is quite nice with better atmosphere. We're always impressed at his work with food. just had whole fried grouper, chicken fajitas, shrimp cocktail....we always take pic's to share with friends who are not with us!! never a bad meal.
