Cool Springs Fish Bar & Restaurant owner Dennis J. Forbes believes a successful restaurant comes from providing good, simple meals on a consistent basis. That formula has worked for him since he opened the restaurant in 1999. Sit down for a casual dinner and enjoy the Shrimp Bombay, a beer battered shrimp that's rolled in coconut and deep fried. If you're not sure what you're in the mood for, try the Shellfish Pan Roast, which includes lemon thyme tomato sauce, shrimp, clams, mussels, scallops and a half-pound rock lobster tail. And thanks to their open kitchen concept, you'll be able to see your meals being made fresh right in front of you.
