I think we might give this a whirl - always looking for somewhere to eat after a hard day's shopping!
And the food at the POM is the pits!
I like the sound of the curry - as you say, still to find a good one!

Fiona - not to labour a point I have copied the curry off themenu to wet your appitite.
Coconut Curry Chicken with onions, potatoes and sweet peppers over white rice and topped with coconut, raisins, pineapple and cashews.
We will be out in September as I said and I can't wait. You sound like you should vacation with my wife - I like Home Depot, Lowes and such yet we have to spend days at Premium Outlet Mall, Florida Mall, Beltz etc. (just can't wait). Thank goodness this time I am converting the double garage into a games room - it gives me a proper excuse to spend all day in 'my' shops.
Anyway I always buy the food so I get to choose although to be fair I have never had a complaint.
Enjoy your next vist, find this thread and add your comments when you have been.
I shall!
Funnily enough we are converting our garage to a games room!
And Chris does all the food shopping while in Florida - can't get him near the shops here!!!!
Home Depot is also his favourite attraction..........although golf probably comes first<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I can't eat very hot-as in chili -type meals-but that coconut curry sounds lovely. Is it mild like a malaysian do you know?
My hubby would love Bahama Breeze-but we tend to eat at these places rarely on account of hot spicy meals not agreeing with me.
Re-your garage conversion. It may be a good idea to check with the building department to see if you need a permit. They are getting quite 'hot' about things like that. They say they are very helpful to people who consult them first, or have had the work done unpermitted, but if they come across work that's been done and needed a permit and haven't sought one-they will come down like a ton of bricks-if you pardon the awful pun.
It may be you are not altering anything structurally ( changes in the electrics come under that category) and in that case you shouldn't need a permit but you may want to check for yourself.

yes this place is good. Huge protions no need for starters. I too had the curry but it was awful and tasted like boil in the bag food. I picked out the chicken and left the rest. The waiter asked what was wrong and I just said that it was too my taste. They took that and our starters (coconut onion rings) of the bill. Great service.

We found this on our last visit - it's at the junction 27 (68 on the new numbering I-4 system) of the I-4 as you go towards Premium Outlets. There was a hugh queue each time we went and it took us three visits before we decided to stick it out and see what all the fuss was for.
Very well worth the wait and we will be going back however long the wait - we had our starter of 'onion rings' outside by the bar with wonderful live musical entertainment followed by the main meal inside.
I had a West Indian curry and it made up for not having found a decent Indian in Florida yet. It was very entertaining, good food and reasonable value.
By the way one portion of onion rings will easily serve four of you - there were only two of us and Cath was so full she went for a chicken salad as her main course after that.
Hope to hear from others who have been for further comment.
For those who like to venture farther afield to eat, there is a lovely Bahama Breeze in a beautiful waterfront location en route to Clearwater. Heading out of Tampa towards Clearwater, it is on your right just as you go onto the first causeway across Tampa Bay. There is a little beach and they hire out jet skis. You can eat your starter outside on the deck with a fabulouus view of the water and the jet skiers and when we were there there was a reggae band playing. Be careful of the cocktails though. We asked for beers and the waiter did push us to "try something new" and "you cant come to BB without trying our special cocktail" Anyway we did and I liked it but hubbie said it was a chick drink and sickly sweet and they were definately not cheap!!

BB is nice we just got back from orlando and didnt have to wait both times we went
Has anyone been here lately?
If yes what's the verdict?
We went in October to the I-Drive one with the two kids and thought the meals were fantastic. Got there around 7.00pm and went straight in. Stuart had the paella (monster portion but he managed to eat it all) and I had the dish of the day which was some strange named fish on a bed of mash with mango dressing - absolutely gorgeous! The kids had something off the childrens menu which they enjoyed plus a milkshake (the thickest and tastiest we have tried in a long time) and a 'cocktail' of raspberries, orange and mango blended into a drink - I swapped my coke for this as it Jamie didn't like it - but I loved it.
We didn't get a chance to go again when we were out in April, but will be top of our list to visit in October this year.

We were there in February. It was our second visit to BB. Last time we went for dinner but they have now started opening for lunch and we gave that a try. It was very good and quite quiet. I think they were trying out the lunch thing so I don't know whether they are doing that over summer.
