Does anyone remember the name of this restaurant and is it still there? This is near the Yacht Club.

You talking about one of the seafood joints that have all blown away? The one on West End Blvd at Lakeshore Dr was Brunings.

The one fine dining place was Masson's, just south of R.E. Lee Blvd.

Could also mean Jaeger's, which relocated to Elmwood. Or The Dock, I guess.

The only thing I remember about Jaeger's was going there with my parents and playing in their massive arcade of [then] old shitty games. And crawfish.

Was Fitzgeralds on a circle? If it was, that's it. Was it relocated after the storm?

The restaurants that were on the circle were Brunning's (which was closest to Coconut Beach), Jaeger's and The Dock. Fitzgerald's was further down the street and out onto the water.

The only one to relocate was Jaeger's. All the rest are gone.

jaegers was fun, we used to go there to eat and sit out on the deck, they'd never card us even though we were underage.

Same for me, and the night one of my friends hit it big on the video poker machines.

Are you talking about what is currently Landry's? If so, it was Joe's Crab Shack and before that it was Bart's.

Anyone remember Hong Kong? That place was good and really cool in a 50's lounge sorta way.

There was also Windjammer which was across from Russel's Marina Grill.
