At site of the former Twisted Tuna in Port Salerno is the newly opened 2 Georges Bar & Grill.
“We’re excited for a lot of changes that are about to be happening real soon,” Melven Barrera, one of the front-of-the-house managers for 2 Georges, said Saturday.
He said that the restaurant and other establishments heavily rely on the waterway for the views and fresh seafood.
Khalil McLean/WPTVBarrera said he’s now keeping his fingers crossed after hearing that up to a billion gallons of water are to be discharged from Lake Okeechobee daily.
“Are you worried about how that’s going to impact you?” WPTV reporter Joel Lopez asked.
“That’s actually always a topic of discussion on a regular basis, not only with the staff here but with the regulars that show up,” Barrera said. “It has to go somewhere, I get that, but then on the other hand, it’ll affect not only the wildlife, not just us as a community but all along the Treasure Coast as well.”
