My first trip (to eat) at Mulligan's

 Bill and I rode our bikes to the beach tonight to try out Mulligan's for the first time.  There is an air of improvisation there with the portable lights set up around the traffic circle north of the building.  There were what seemed to be two golf carts ferrying people back and forth from the dark parking lot to the south.  We were able to park and lock our bikes across the street, in front of the casino building.  There were two "racks" made of non-corrosive material - good choice here.

 The restaurant is cool to see at night since the lighted bar top makes quite an impression.  It reminds you that you are on the ocean, even if it is hard to tell that at night.

 Mulligan's seemed about 2/3 to 3/4 full when we were there around 6:45 or so.  More people were coming in as we ate and while we were leaving.  I must tell you, it did not seem like the typical Lake Worth clientele - definitely a little more upscale than what you find on Lake Avenue.  It is on Palm Beach island, after all.

 It was a bit breezy and the plastic curtains were down so that food and napkins didn't blow around if you chose to be in the outdoor seating area.

 There was a banner hanging by the entrance that said they will be open Thanksgiving Day - no word on a special menu - but it may be a nice place to hang out before or after your dinner.

 The furniture and fixtures were first rate.  I liked the floor treatment and the interior walls look like they were done with hardy board siding which gave it a beachy feel.

 I had the Baja Fish Tacos for $12.95.  They were good and the portion size adequate.  I opted for the cole slaw instead of the rice.  You could have any side you want.

 Bill had the Black and Blue Burger which was around $11.  They have an extensive drink menu and an assortment of beer and wine - which we did not have due to our mode of transportation.  Just water with lemon thank you very much.  Also helped keep the cost down.

The total bill was $30 including tax and tip.  Not quite the egalitarian eatery some of our leaders envisioned, but you had the sense that you were getting what you paid for.  The food was good and so was the atmosphere.  I'll have to go back during the day and enjoy the nice view of the ocean.
