Stuffed fish and mounted deer heads abound. The ambiance of the place, which looks like a weather-beaten shack, is old Florida hunting lodge. It’s decorated with antique outboard motors, old guns and enough memorabilia to stock a store. Interior of the Yearling restaurant is full of vintage items and antiques.
