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.
Barrera 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.”
