Julie's Waterfront Grill, Orlando

I ate dinner at Julie's last night. It's a lakefront seafood shack. I had the mixed grill with scallops and mahi-mahi for $16.99. You could also choose from shrimp and salmon. I chose tabouli, mixed vegetables and a side salad. You could choose cole slaw, baked potato, or fries. The mahi-mahi was a little dry (either overcooked or frozen). The scallops were good (5 larges). The tabouli was flavored. The vegetables were surprisingly unwilty. Now this isn't fine dining, but, it was commendable. It was a friendly if non-descript little establishment. Tank tops and shorts might have been encouraged. I didn't ask. The salad was american mixed (iceberg lettuce). It was more of a source of energy than an artistic commentary. The place was not spotless and the service (in general) seemed like it could go awry at any point. But, it should have a place in your rotation when you need an effortless sunset dinner and a beer.

I would only suggest a little re-organizing of the inside dining room. It seems like it's a store room. I mean alot of things need to be changed if it wants to reach a different kind of clientele. But, it doesn't, so that kind of advice is out of place.
