A hero among the entrees, the Parmesan Encrusted Mahi is a crowd favorite. The Mahi is garlic butter glazed, lightly blackened, and encrusted with parmesan panko bread crumbs. It's a melt-in-your-mouth feast over spinach and buttery jasmine rice with red pepper coulis.

The chicken comes with collards, Southern black-eyed pea medley, and Boursin whipped potatoes with Sawmill gravy. It's comfort food bursting with flavor.

Since burgers and the beach go together like sand and surf, try one of the Corkscrew's varieties. Patties feature chuck, brisket, and short rib blend for a juicy, delicious burger. It comes with French Fries or house-made Sweet Potato Chips, making it perfect after a day at Daytona International Speedway.

Not to be outshone, the craft cocktails are the talk of the town, like the Pomegranate Ginger Mule.
