delicious is the catch of the day. provisionsseafoodcompany at south port is not your typicalseafoodrestaurant. perfectly orchestrated chaos is the best way to describe how this deliciousseafoodrestaurant operates.
the process is like this. give your name and number in your party to the lady standing outside. go in and grab your favorite beverage from the cooler, it's an honor system, explanation to follow. when your party is called give the host or hostess an item from your group to place on your table so it is easily identifiable. then go inside to the order counter, select you entrée from the list written in chalk on a slate board. give your order to the guy behind the counter, grab another beverage and sit down at your table overlooking the bay. the view is beautiful as are many of the boats tied up at the dock.
the food is excellent. the burgers are cooked to order, the ahi tuna is fantastic especially when cooked medium rare to rare with a little salt, pepper and lemon butter. potato salad and fresh greens with cucumbers goes perfectly with the tuna. the crab cakes and boiled shrimp are delicious. everything is homemade from the freshest local seafood.
while you are eating, be sure to watch the speed and efficiency of the servers, it boggles the mind. once finished and your check arrives, take the check to the man behind the counter and give him the tally of all your beverages. this is the honor system.
provisionsseafoodis a great restaurant with very reasonable prices and restaurant multitasking at the highest level. be forewarned that on weekends and holidays this place gets busy fast and it is not uncommon to wait up to an hour for a table. no worries, grab yourself a frosty beverage sit outside and people watch or take a stroll on the dock and enjoy watching the boats going by. it is one of the very few places well worth the wait.
