One of the ladies had the Florida Swordfish and found it to be rather exquisite. Another lady and I had the Whole Roasted Bronzini, which was sea bass with lemon, garlic and rosemary; served on a cedar plank. We gave it very high marks. While staring down at a dead fish that was staring back at me was a little disconcerting right out of the chute and while I had fun in the slicing and dicing that was needed to get to the meat itself, it was a fun experience. I probably would not get that again as there are other delicacies that I will try out next time. My wife had the Macadamia Crusted Chicken. She was slightly disappointed and gave it about a 6 or 7. We will return. If you have never been there I strongly suggest you give it a try.

Going to Mt. Dora this Thursday to see Grease and want a "nice" place to grab a bite before the play. Can be casual, do not want "fancy", simply good food and a pleasant atmosphere. All recommendations are appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

The Lakeside Inn is one our favorites for wine, great gumbo and great sunsets.
We love the Goblin as well.
