Pelican's Bar — Restaurant in Florida

We recently stayed in Panama City Beach, FL for a night on our way further south in the sunshine state. On this single night stay I decided to stay a bit further away from the madness that is Panama City Beach at the Sheraton Bay Point Resort and could not have been happier with how peaceful it was. This restaurant was located on the resorts property at the end of a long boardwalk. The views from the restaurant were great and its rather peaceful while dining minus a couple dogs that people had with them.

This used to be my wife and I's favorite restaurant. It's within walking distance and it's a beautiful setting. About 4 months ago, we ordered the crab cakes. We had always ordered them and it included two. When only one came out and the price was the same, I was pretty upset. We also used to order the nachos. They were well prepared with all kinds of fixin's on them. They were great! The last time we went, they brought us out a basket or Tostitos chips with Tostitos cheese sauce; you know, the kind from the jar you buy at Publix. It was $10! Outrageous. If you're a local, I wouldn't recommend it. It's a tourist trap. The drinks, appetizers and meals are WAY...
