This restaurant, built out over the water at the end of a pier, is named for
music, not the color of the sea. Live jazz plays here Thursdays, 6:30-
9:30 pm and Saturdays, 10 pm-1 am. Drop by in time for happy hour on
these nights (6-7 pm) and watch the sun slip into the Caribbean as you sip
an icy drink. Then stay on for a lobster dinner and cool jazz. Friday is
“Tapas Night.”.
TIP:
In addition to Belle Terrace and Blues, Avila
Beach has a casual patio café (buffet breakfast, 7-
10 am, snacks and drinks, 2:30-7 pm) and a sail-
shaded beach bar that's open daily from noon until
late in the evening.

All of the restaurants at this Marriott serve superb cuisine. The Emerald

In the busy Seaquarium area, this restaurant is popular for casual

days from 5 to 6pm. The fresh catch of the day is always a good choice, and
on Tuesday and Wednesday nights you can't go wrong with the tapas. Call
or drop in to ask about scheduled theme dinners, and linger to enjoy the
ocean views.
