Chases on the Beach

Can I jsut say how much I'd looooove to work here? Fresh salty air, view of the ocean and hello working outdoors??? I love coming here and sitting at the bar in my bikini and enjoying a rum runner and some good food. I tend to focus on just the tropical feel and drinks here than food. Next time I'll dive into something yummy! Best part is, if you parked on the beach, just walk on over. If you didn't.....well I don't know what the parking looks like up front since I usually am parked on the beach and walk over.

Chase's has about 3 things going for it.

1. Free valet parking.
2. Great location.
3. Buckets for $10.

The negatives were pretty annoying.  First, $5 to enter the pool.  I don't really understand that... I would rather not pay $5 to enter a crowded pool where the only option was to join the water volleyball game.  Second, the waiter was highly uninterested in our table, and smiled only to earn his tips.  He was largely absent during our dinner, and that forced us to ask busboys and other waiters for assistance.  They forgot to bring us lemons, cocktail sauce, and horseradish for our littlenecks.  To one of the people in our group, it's like forgetting cheese on a pizza.  They can only sit out so long before they begin to drown in the ice water.  Our waiter never came back to check on us, so we had to awkwardly ask for help from one of the other uninterested employees.
For food, my husband and I ordered the "best thing on the menu" according to our waiter, the blackened fish tacos.  I wasn't particularly a fan of the texture of the fish, it was a white fish and it was heavily seasoned.  It wasn't nasty, but it wasn't spectacular either.

The only awesome person at the place was the man sitting near the exit to the beach.  His personality made it bearable.

This is our go to beach place when we go to NSB (which to be honest is less and less). We set up on the beach then walk in to the bar area for drinks and occasionally a sandwich. It's too loud and brash to stay so we get everything to go. The pool is an interesting touch but no way I'm getting in. There is not enough chlorine in the world...

I imagine this is a GREAT Spring Break place but since I am past that time of my life I'll leave it there.
