Looking for recommendations for restuarants in the area of the Pelican Grand Resort, especially those w/outdoor seating and quiet dining rooms. Thank you.

There is asmall restaurant at the Sun Tower Motel next door to Pelican that has a deck overloooking the Ocean and in the few times I have been there it has good food and is quiet. Ther really is nothing else in walking distance- if you can get a taxi or bus , it is not very far to the Oakland Park Blvd area - Chart House , under the Bridge there, has patio dining overlooking the Intracoastal and is very serene when I have been there ( nice quiet happy hour too)- Shooters next door to Chart House usually is pretty noisy and is much more informal.
I can't think of anyplace else nearby that meets your requirements- will you have transportation to go a bit further?
Yes, we are renting a car. Was just wondering if there were any decent places around our hotel. Not too loud is important because I am hearing impaired but so its harder for me to hear in very loud places. Have you ever been to the mexican restuarant at the Sheraton?
We were at the Sheraton Mexican Restaurant for happy hour some time ago- my sense is that it might not be the best choice as the patio area is along the beach road with just some shrubs separating you from the traffic noise. It does not overlook the water.Perhaps someone has been there more recently and remembers better than I- i was not crazy abut the food either, but it had just opened and maybe it was still trying to get it right.
Ok. Thank you!
Skip Shooters the food is mediocre, it's OK for a quick drink and thats about in IMO. The Chart House is lovely but a bit pricey unless you go at happy hour. If you want somewhere casual with pretty good bar fayre Fishtales is good.

If act there are a few restaurants on NE33rd so you could park on a meter and take a look. I have only tried Fishtales so I can't speak for the others.
