Some of you may not have heard of Harbor Lights, since it is "off campus". It's about 30-45 minutes drive, over on Lake Panasoffkee. We enjoyed their Christmas buffet very much. Lots of good, hot, food, including turkey, ham roast beef, lamb shanks and fried shrimp, plus all the sides you would expect and then some (homemade noodles and pineapple fritters....yum), including a nice assortment of desserts. $22.95 per person, plus tip and beverages.
Our waiter told us to take our time, eat all we wanted and enjoy ourselves. We did!
It was our first time there, but I overheard an employee telling another guest they have a similar buffet every weekend, when not a holiday, for $11.95. I'm not a big buffet fan, but my husband is. I'm sure we'll go back and maybe even make it a Christmas tradition.
My only disappointment was the wine selection. To be fair, though, I didn't ask for a wine list. I just asked what they had by the glass. Maybe they have something better if you go for a bottle. I was driving, so....no big deal. I only had half a glass anyway.
We had Christmas Eve lunch/dinner at Peck's Old Port in Crystal River. That was wonderful, too, but there have been many mentions of Peck's on here, so I don't have anything new to add. We will definitely go back, particularly when we have visitors from out of state.
