It is with a heavy heart that we share the devastating news that our beloved bartender, Sara, tragically lost her life after being struck by a drunk driver. Sara was so much more than a coworker—she was family. Her warm smile and kind spirit lit up our restaurant, bringing joy not only to our customers but to every member of our team.
Sara leaves behind two young little girls, who will now need all the support they can get. To honor her memory and help her family through this unimaginable time, we’re sharing a GoFundMe link to assist with her funeral costs and to help care for her little ones.
Please keep Sara’s family, friends, our staff, and all those who loved her in your thoughts. And let this be a heartbreaking reminder of the importance of never drinking and driving. We hope Sara’s story can help prevent another tragedy like this.
Thank you for being part of our Swordfish family and for supporting us in honoring Sara. Sending our condolences and hoping this post brings some comfort and support during this time. ❤️🩹 ... See MoreSee Less

It was a great fundraiser ride with a captain and his boat (who also donated his time, gas and use of his boat) for the emergency needs of the Cortezians who lost so much❤️🌴❤️
Will you be doing this again?
Are Labradors allowed on the boat rides?

“Perfect setting, friendly atmosphere, great food Sit outside for the fun atmosphere. There is usually live music and lots of folks dance. The setting could not be more perfect…right on the water’s edge with lots of pelicans, egrets, herons, and other birds around. You can arrive by boat and come right up the ramp.”
