What's the current hottest restaurant in your city?  Have you tried it out yet?

At the moment it is a restaurant called The Hut. It sat right on the edge of Apalachicola Bay, they had big picture windows so you could lookout at the bay while you dine. There was always something wonderful to watch from those windows, from sunsets to wildlife on the shores and the food was good too. Two years ago it was destroyed by a Hurricane and they couldn't rebuild the structure properly due to environment laws against new construction on the bay. They would have to either build it back the way it was and risk yet again a hurricane blowing it apart for the third time (it's been demolished once before). I actually helped with the clean-up and restoration the first time. Even worked there after the re-opening as a busboy / dishwasher, I was fourteen at the time and it was one of my first real jobs.
OK enough with the past, God am I starting to feel old :-)
So anyways, The owners didn't want to build The Hut back in the same spot with those restrictions. But this week The Hut has re-opened once again in a new location. The owners bought out another restaurant in the next town and re-modeled the place. It's not on the water anymore and it's not as big as before but still very nice. Yesterday a couple of friends and I went out to lunch at The Hut. I'm happy to say the food is great, if not better then before and it was packed out, there wasn't a vacant seat anywhere and the people were lined up to get in. I'm sure it will slow down after a few weeks but I just hope its wasn't just the view that kept people coming back.
