The Toledo restaurant at the Coronado Resort at Disney . Make a reservation for about 7pm so that your view changes from day to night and you can see the sunset. There is a balcony so you can also step outside and when the Epcot fireworks go they play the corresponding music.

This is not as expensive as Victoria and Albert’s but you still have the Disney attitude to decor, service and product.

The resort is an easy, short drive from route 429.

Excellent brisket

LaQuistdor, Mission Inn , Howie in the Hills. Well worth the drive.

It is old elegant, but the food is amazing and it has a cozy atmosphere. Somewhat pricy but the portions are NYC portions.

Absolutely! But good luck getting a reservation. And be prepared to spend close to a grand for a couple including drinks.

We like Prime 3 on Main St in Leesburg. The food is interesting and the wine is excellent. Enjoy!

Another vote for Prime 3 in Leesburg's historic Main Street area. Check on the hours when pianist will be playing.

Three Six Bistro in Ocala is a new restaurant that is a must try! Food is amazing and service is great. It is a true dining experience.

We've dined there on several special occasions, with requests for special table, flowers on the table, anniversary date night, and they've always been very accommodating, great staff, delicious food and wonderful ambiance.
Mark's Steakhouse in Ocala on the square is very nice, as well.
Haven't tried Prime 3 in Leesburg but hear it's very nice and somewhat pricey.

Takes me back decades to a conversion van purchase. Got a kick out of the salesman telling us how "eleguent" it was. :-)
