Barefoot:
A word of caution about Pisces Rising. My street went there for our monthly get-together 12/2. Service was a complete and total disaster, food was mediocre at best. Granted, it was Mount Dora's Christmas Walk night, so the place was packed, but no one, I repeat no one, should have to wait more than an hour after ordering to receive mediocre food! Let me add to the suggestions for on-the-water dining. 1. Exceedingly low-key but great fun: Gator Joe's, over-looking Lake Weir in Ocklawaha. Best for a casual lunch; sit out under the tiki-huts, over the water. May be crowded with bikers during Daytona's or Leesburg's Bike Weeks. 2. Decidedly upscale, but worth every penny: Al's Top Shelf, over-looking Lake Dora in Tavares. Thursday-Sunday only. Superb food and service; excellent for a large group. There's a low-key venue on the ground floor that caters more to the burger and fries crowd! SWR

On a cheery note, it sounds as if you picked a great street to live on!

The original poster (and others who read this thread since looking for a nice place to eat "on the water") did not ask for a gourmet experience, a 5 star rated place or anything of that ilk. They wanted info on a nice place on the water. From personal experience, I can say that Crackers is a great place to eat after a full day of scuba diving or snorkeling with the manatees. Five star? Hardly, but the food is fresh and well prepared. Fresh Apalachicola oysters, fresh grouper, and fresh caught lobster have all been excellent--well prepared and well presented. Not fancy, but a nice meal served in a beautiful environment. Lest you think I am one of those ignorant slobs who is incapable of "realizing mediocrity," I have eaten at some of the finest dining establishments around the world (and by the way, "lower cost venues" are not always synonymous with "mediocrity")and have written restaurant reviews for a mid-sized (circulation of 125,000) newspaper for three years. Hope I am not offending you, but I had to toss out my $.02.

And, Black Water, Gator Joe's, and the many others previously mentioned are worth checking out.
