Life's a Beach, if you can get a table
I'm usually up on new restaurant openings, but this one slipped through the 5-hole (hockey talk). Thankfully, my apparently-better-informed wife recommended we check out the hottest new restaurant to open in/near Flower Mound since Salerno's opened and it was about the only thing in Town..
Life's a Beach Grill & Sports Bar has opened up on FM407 just west of Morriss, in Highland Village. Lots of fancy TV's and a huge outdoor patio with misters in the summer and a fire pit for winter use.
Sounds great, right! Not so fast. We pulled up Friday night at 8pm (thinking the crowd might have gone down a bit), and found there was a 1-hour wait for indoor seating and a 2.5-hour wait for outdoor seating.
So we punted, and went down to the new Friday's. Beach, no worries, we'll be back.

We've been there 5 or 6 times already....you definitely need to get there EARLY! It is definitely our new favorite spot in town!
We went last Friday (5/4) around 5p and had no problems getting an outside table. The problem with the tables is that families / gatherings of moms just sit at the outside table for hours while their kids play in the sand... not turning the tables over quickly.
When we left at 6p, there was a 25 min wait for an outside table but at least 2 dozen tables open inside.
The concept seemed to be slanted towards the $$ in the young singles crowd. Nice bar, sand volleyball, and tables to hang out with friends and hot chicks while drinking copious amounts of adult libations. Unfortunately, the place seems to have become the new kids castle where moms and dads can sit and nurse a beer or margarita while the kids play on the nice sand volleyball court. The food was passable, some really good, some below expectations. That should change with appropriate adjustments. I hope they figure out how to extract more $ from the families, or they might not make it.
