My parents took me here when they moved to Stuart, FL. in the early 70's. At that time Francis Langford and Ralph Evinrude were very much part of the local community. With a small boat basin, their beloved yacht "The Chanticleer" was docked outside the Restaurant when not out cruising.

They were very generous with the local community and Francis donated approximately $30million to various charities and public projects within Martin County, Florida.

Although heavily damaged by the Hurricanes of 2004/2005, most or all of the original memorabilia of her career, and much of the original structure still stands today. Now called the Dolphin Bar and Shrimp House http://www.dolphinbar.com it is the best deal in the county for fun filled dining. My wife and I live about a 1 1/2 miles down the road, and hit the 1/2 price Hors' d'oeuvres about 3 times a week.

One of the reasons my wife and I talked ourselves into buying our current home..."hey, it's right down the road from the Dolphin".
