It's a space with a pedigree. In the spot that used to house Dockside Dave's, a new three-story building has been erected at the edge of Madeira Bay Marina. It's the handiwork of a bunch of pros who know what they're doing when it comes to casual, waterfront dining heavy on the Jimmy Buffet soundtrack and catch of the day, both with a generous side of fries. Once inside, there are a couple of tough choices: To sit at the bar, where bartenders steam goodies (mussels, clams, Old Bay-tinged shrimp) right there while you watch? Or out at one of the back patio tables to view the bobbing boats tied up so tidily? From either perch, menu perusal yields a lot of usual suspects: po' boys, seafood baskets and seafood pots.
