723 Whiskey Bravo is Seagrove Beach will not be reopening. It was a great restaurant and will be missed!

A note from Skip & Victoria, we wish them the very best!

Dear Friends,

Ten years ago, 723 Whiskey Bravo was part of a vision for the “2nd half” of our lives. Our vision soon took a life of its own and flourished into what it is today. It has been through our loyal guests and great team that we have had many years of success.

We have been working on the next chapter in our lives and want to let you know that we do not have plans to reopen 723 Whiskey Bravo. To everyone that has walked through our doors - we are thankful. The journey has been like no other and our memories are forever.

The support and hard work of our 723 WB team has been invaluable to us. We couldn’t have done any of this without them as they are the best at what they do and have our highest respect and admiration. They have become a part of our lives and know they will continue to excel and without a doubt have our highest recommendation.

We are excited to continue our life’s journey and begin something new. We truly want to thank the community and all of those who have supported 723 Whiskey Bravo over the years. For the many who have become our friends, we will continue to see you on 30A.

Our Best Always,

Skip & Victoria Moore
Owners, 723 Whiskey Bravo

LOL. "Local owners" can do what they want with their own trees.

Exhibit A for how to undermine a community.

Unfortunately , our elected officials don't give a sh..t about community, esthetics or the "Old Seagrove" - This is their idea about progress and responsible development and nothing will change.. They are under manned and short sighted and as long as opportunities exist for supplemental pay increases, NOTHING WILL CHANGE! Very Sad!!!!

That builder Lala is from Louisiana and an idiot. Already making a mess of this project.

Regardless of what one thought of WB or the owners, keep an eye on the property. From what I hear there is no interest in leasing the restaurant out, it is for sale. And along with it are all the old cottages. One price for all. Maybe not a bad deal for the asking price, but the asking price makes no sense to a restaurant operator. Might be that the only way a buyer could turn a profit would be tearing down everything and just building rentals with a little mixed use sprinkled in. Wouldn't that be a shame!

My goodness, some of you are restaurant critics in addition to being experts on everything else.

Not sure about being an expert on everything, but, I await a pat on the back for calling this one way in advance!

Skunky, that was a high hanging curveball that you hit so hard it still hasn't landed! Only thing you didn't do in your post was call your shot like Babe Ruth did (myth or not!)

You're totally right. If they cared, they'd issue a stop work order based on the permit pulled. Oh wait they did.

Funny thing is the building had to come down. It was so piss poorly designed and built it could have been condemned. All of it will be replaced by homes.

Cutting down all the trees to put up buildings? Becoming the norm in SoWal.

The old Seagrove Wheel House Restaurant was way less of an eyesore then the new property will ever be..

Makes construction easier for less skilled. Of course plenty of developments along 30A that are lauded for their beauty were clear cut at one time. Seaside, WaterColor, Watersound and even Rosemary.

The developments you mention had extensive landscaping plans and massive budgets. They planted hundreds of 15 foot oaks for example. Alys Beach recently planted a 40 foot oak.

I see a lot of subdivisions now that not one single tree is planted after clearing and building. Or one sad palm tree. And don't get me started on the acres and acres of sod that makes no sense environmentally and looks like a million other subdivisions in the world.
