We ventured down the coast to Gasparilla Island to an area called Boca Grande.  We had to cross over a causeway and paid a $5 toll to see an area that had the feel of the Bahamas but VERY secluded! Oh did I mention we were offered a map of the island and as it turned out it was a good thing we took one.  We were able to find the Eagle Grille at the Charlotte Harbor and we were two of six people who were in the restaurant. JB talked to the host who mentioned that the owners of the Cafe Zelda on Thames Street in Newport were very involved with setting up the new format for the restaurant.  What are the chances of picking a place to eat that we would have something in common with one of the waitstaff? Well,we can cross off our "must see" list.  Very nice scenery but not much going on-at least not during this time of the year.  For you Seinfeld fans we did have a siteing of Boca Vista on our drive to Boca Grande-it is alive and well!
