My family was at Down the Hatch on Friday night June 26. We usually eat there every year we go to Daytona on vacation. About 4 or 5 years ago the restaurant was sold and taken over.

First time guest at this restaurant on father's day 2009. Arrived early and got a great table with window view. TONS of flies inside the restaurant and all gathered around our table.
