The bright, open-air setting is welcoming at Massa's South Coast Grill, one of two downtown restaurants from the Massa family. Focusing on Gulf Coast and Creole dishes Massa's offers gumbos, bisques and crab cakes as appetizers, while bacon wrapped salmon mignon and shrimp-and-grits battle to be stars of the entrée section. Convenient to several event destinations downtown, the restaurant also serves as a popular date night option.
