I have about given up on finding the kind of restaurants that I"ve enjoyed in NY, Va. and Me. The norm here in and around TV, seems to be indifferent food, indifferently served, and it's fine with most everyone as long as it's plentiful and cheap.

Thanks for the suggestions. We did find a great little Cajun place in Winter Garden called the Big Easy. Located in a strip mall next to publix It had great food and service and very reasonable prices. The owner is always there and takes great pride in his food. Sadly it is almost an hr away. But if you are already down that way it is well worth going to.

I will add another vote for Southern Cottillion in Wildwood. Also, Harry's Seafood Grill in Ocala (by the town square) is excellent. I did not care for Goblin Market in Mt. Dora.
The River House in Crystal River is excellent - and the monkeys on Monkey Island are fun to watch as you eat in the dining room. |

This weekend we enjoyed a wonderful meal at Taverna Red on 27. Service was a bit slow but worth the wait.

Yes Florida has its cons, if you want the best food don't go to Florida. If you don't start with the best ingredients the result cant be great -- there is nothing like a NJ grown tomato - its in the soil not the sand we have in Florida - there is nothing like a NJ grown corn (white or sweet) again the soil
The beef is mostly grass fed not grain feed (grass fed probably healthier) but you can tell the difference in taste - all locally grown vegetables again are grown in the Florida soil. My favorite restaurants is "Pinons" in Aspen Co |

If you're a steak lover, I recommend Bern's Steakhouse in Tampa. One of the few places around that serves prime beef that is dry aged. It's comparable in price to Mark's Prime in Ocala, and better.

Have heard of some of these restaurants before. Must put them on our list. If you're ever further south make an effort to try the seafood restaurant in the Hyatt Regency, Tarpon Bay. Food, service , ambiance all first rate. Too bad it's soo far away.
