I know I'm a REALTOR® and not a food critic, but I can't help myself on this one. (BTW, there's some real estate info at the bottom of this post, if that's all you're looking for.)

Last weekend I wrote a post about the New Smyrna Beach Jazz Festival. In that post, I mentioned Chase's on the Beach, which is one of the local restaurants that was hosting one of the bands. Shortly after posting that information, I got a "thank you" e-mail from Anna, at Chase's. Apparently Anna uses Google Alerts and found my post immediately. Anna's on the ball!

This restaurant is a favorite of mine and my husband's. And here are some fantastic reasons why.

1. Great food!
2. Indoor dining for me.
3. Casual outdoor um, well, EVERYTHING for him. Just look at all these photos! (from the Chase's web site, used with Anna's permission)
4. Memories from when we were dating. (you'll have to create your own)

Now I had planned to write this post anyway, but it just got better with the e-mail I received from Anna letting me know that tonight's special is Prosciutto-wrapped Filet Mignon char-grilled and finished with olive oil, garlic and sun-dried tomatoes for only $19.99. And it gets better...

Every Sunday evening, from 5:00-8:00 p.m., there's a Low-Country Shrimp Boil with shrimp, crab, kielbasa sausage, corn on the cob and red potatoes. All you can eat for only $14.99! My mouth is watering.

And this coming week, on October 4th & 5th, enjoy the Oktoberfest German Buffet for $19.99. There are too many dishes to list here so I'll let you check out their web site for that information. 

If anyone's interested, my personal favorite dishes are the Key West Grouper and the Salmon with pineapple-mango salsa.

Now to add a little note for my client who has been looking at houses in New Smyrna, whose mother also lives in New Smyrna, who finally found the right house last weekend. Guess what your closing gift is going to be? We'll see you there!
