New owners drop anchor at Fisherman’s Net of Flagler Beach’s
Jimmy Velio and Joseph Frascogna recently purchased Fisherman’s Net in Flagler Beach and have changed the name to the Anchor Flagler Beach.
“We were looking for an opportunity and saw the restaurant listed for sale and were confident that we could make some big improvements,” Velio said. “After we closed on the purchase with former owner Rab Persaud, we immediately started remodeling.”
Frascogna first saw the restaurant while he was on vacation at Hammock Dunes. This is his 35th restaurant improvement project. His goal when he takes on a project is to improve the food, atmosphere and service.
They have remodeled the interior and exterior, including painting the inside and out, adding new flooring, demolishing walls, opening window-viewing areas, purchasing new equipment and much more. They also added a wooden wave wall separating tables on the upper dining area, and added a 250 square-foot deck, designed by Flagler Beach architect Joseph Pozzuoli.
In addition to adding multiple large sailfish pieces of art across the top perimeter of the exterior, they purchased a salvaged 5,000-pound medal anchor, the focal point of the restaurant.
Fisherman’s Net was originally opened in 1984. The Anchor Flagler Beach is located at 500 S. Oceanshore Blvd. in Flagler Beach. Call 439-1818. They can be found online at https://www.facebook.com/TheAnchorFlaglerBeach.
