The good news? They're set to reopen by fall, so the separation won’t be too long.

It's nearing 9:30 on a balmy summer night as I amble along Tarpon Springs' Historic Sponge Docks. Minus the dull thud of the boats gently colliding with the wooden posts they're tied to, the normally busy thoroughfare is quiet.

Robertsdale's Ivey's is a well-liked eatery renowned for its superb food options. The delicious oyster stew, which is well-known for its rich and creamy texture, as well as the perfectly cooked grouper and lightly battered shrimp are all popular dishes. Another classic is the blackened shrimp and eggplant meal, which combines succulent shrimp with crispy fried eggplant and a savory Creole hollandaise sauce on top. The whiskey glaze steak, which combines a delicious bourbon-infused sauce with a flawlessly cooked steak, is a must-try for steak aficionados. The shrimp gumbo and crawfish pies are also well-received for their delectable flavors and substantial servings.
