The Boston Fish Market is the BEST! It's located on Semoran Blvd, it's either in Winter Park or on the outskirts of Orlando. Best lobster rolls, not a dressy place, food is medium priced, and worth every penny. Put it in your GPS to find it. Speaking as a New Englander, its delicious!!

I think they mean the Lighthouse?? It is delicious, but if you want to take a ride, the Boston Fish Market is the best. I'm going to try the Colonnade (is it fancy?) and High Tide Harry's when I get the chance, we usually go try restaurant in Orlando when going to the airport to bring or pick up travellers. They treat, and they don't have to pay a limo and we get a free meal. So it works out great for all of us.

Seems to me it would be cheaper to take the airport shuttle. What's the motivation, pick up friends or a free meal?

We must be getting old, sure want to eat in this area!

Thanks Bill!

Looks to be 14 miles East of intersection of Baseline Road and Hwy 40 (Silver Springs Park).

Also, as indicated in the link, might be closed during May thru Oct.

I love Gator Joe's. However, you must know that its best feature is eating out under the so-called "tiki huts" over the waters of Lake Weir, not so much the food. And, we usually have "lunch" there, rather than dinner!

Another great fish place is Stumpknocker's. Two locations. One on the banks of the Withlacoochee River off CR200, southwest of Ocala. The other in "downtown" Inverness. I've only been to the first one. It's always great fun and the food is great!

And, I'll endorse the Blackwater Inn. Great food and ambiance; just a litle far to drive!

Thumbs up Seafood Restaurant

If I could, I would like to recommend Whale's Tale on Old 441 in Mount Dora. Maryland style - really are - crab cakes - ask for heavy or light Old Bay depending on your tastes. New England Clam chowder full of chunks of clams.....other seafood afficionados loved it as well....Hole in the wall with good food - AND a coupon in the Everybody's Favorite Coupon Book too!

Went last night with neighbors. All you can eat fish. The bar is right on the lake. The food was delicious . Not fancy but loved looking out at the lake.
