A new seafood stop opens
There’s a new place to stop for seafood on DeLand’s north side, since MoonDancers Oyster Bar & Grill opened five months ago at 2620 N. Woodland Blvd.
The restaurant is a TARDIS. You cannot tell from the outside how expansive and attractive it is on the inside. It looks like a dive bar, but is a family-oriented restaurant with a beautiful garden seating area.
Some will recognize this as the previous home of City Limits Taproom, which has moved north on U.S. Highway 17 to the outskirts of DeLeon Springs.
Peter Ferrentino and Paula Outzen, in partnership with Jim Knight, own MoonDancers, City Limits and another soon-to-be-serving DeLeon Springs restaurant, called 17 North, which is currently open as a bar.
There’s been a bit of restaurant shuffling going on: MoonDancers used to be operating in what’s now the 17 North location, City Limits was where MoonDancers is now, and City Limits is now where Pit Master BBQ used to be.
In addition to offering a full bar and menu of seafood and American food, MoonDancers boasts hugely popular nightly food and drink specials, as well as trivia and cornhole nights, and a quarter-acre garden space for weddings and other events.
