A popular Cocoa Village restaurant is preparing to pour its final drinks and serve its last meals this week. Tin Whiskey Southern Kitchen & Still announced on its Facebook page that it will be closing on Nov. 14, citing the owners' retirement after years in the restaurant business. The post thanked customers, employees and the Cocoa Village community for their support throughout the years. "Thank you for supporting Murdock's for more than two decades. Thank you for embracing Tin Whiskey from the very beginning. Your friendship, loyalty, and love have meant more to us that words can ever express," the post said. "We hope you will join us this week, especially on Saturday, to share a few more laughs, raise a glass and celebrate all of the wonderful years we've had together." The owners said retirement played a major role in the decision to close, marking the end of a chapter that spans decades.

Changes in Latitudes bring fresh face to Port St. John eatery. Review

You can tell that its proprietors really want to make a go of Latitudes Grill and Oyster Bar. What formerly was a pretty dismal exterior is considerably brighter, with a new sign, a good few coats of paint and one of the most congenial and competent cooks in the area, Jamey Thompson. Smart move, hiring Jamey. Anyway, the dining room at the Port St. John eatery is substantially different, with most of the old paneling and paint gone with work clearly ongoing, and a sandwich bar installed. The waterfront part seems to be in the process of rehabilitation in bits, a pretty good way to do it at the time of our visit, which was a rainy one. That’s why you won’t find dock pictures in the photos that accompany this. But Latitudes, like its predecessor in its location, remains a seafood restaurant, and it doesn’t do too badly at delivering it. Its menu shows an admirable array of shell- and other fish in various forms at reasonable prices; tangerine ahi is $20; Mussels Luciano, which features a saffron cream sauce, cost the same. There are burgers, shrimp burgers and mahi BLTs, plus poke bowls and “bombs” served in bread
