Longtime Pass-a-Grille restaurant Sea Critters Café was recently purchased, and the waterfront favorite got a complete makeover.
New owners Charles and Helen Collom recently bought the restaurant and rebranded it to "Red, White & Booze," while maintaining the bar-and-grill concept. The restaurant will be open daily from 11 a.m.-10 p.m.
The restaurant, located at 2007 Pass-a-Grille Way, is serving traditional seafood dishes such as fish & chips, crab cakes, calamari, and fresh fish. It also offers "Catch and Cook" for fishermen to being in their own fish and have it cooked.
The restaurant offers a full liquor bar, as well as live music every Friday from 5 p.m.-9 p.m. and every Sunday from 4 p.m.-8 p.m.
A press release touts new dock renovations, more improvements, and the retention of most of the Sea Critters' staff. "So they're all back together," said Helen. "We want to make this place even better."
