The Crow's Nest Marina Restaurant was founded in October of 1976 by Steve Harner and Janis Payne-Harner. They, along with Harp Harner, still own and operate the restaurant and marina. In early 1982, the Crow's Nest purchased Tarpon Center Marina, renamed it The Crow's Nest Marina and improved and expanded the second floor dining room to 100 seats. At that time we opened the 50 seat Raw Bar and lounge on the ground floor. In 1989 we raised the roof, giving every table in our dining room a fantastic view of the marina and Intracoastal Waterway. In 1992 we renovated the ground floor, giving it a traditional tavern look with raised oak panels, marble bar top and oak back bar. We also relocated our Marina Office and Ships Store to the second floor under the "gazebo roof".
