Dinners:

Wallace’s at the Greenhouse (Homosassa)

Delicious  entrees: Swordfish, grilled mahi fish and chips,  salmon, parmesan cod,   grilled  sandwich and corn chowder .  Unique menu and good food and service.

Katch 22 (Lecanto)

Two good trips there for dinners… my choice for my upcoming birthday dinner: 

Crab cakes, split the beet salad, lobster scallop ravioli, shrimp tempura, red snapper,  French onion soup and crème brûlée

 

Blackwater Grill (Yankeetown) 

Some of the best food around and Wednesday Date NIGHT:  With two entrees orders receive an appetizer and dessert!  Black grouper fixed Mediterranean style, Baby back ribs (too saucy) cole slaw enough for 4; Mashed potatoes enough for 4; steak fries, Shrimp cooked “Pamela style”  which includes corned bread and shrimp. YUM and good service.

Consistently good food and service.  Lightly battered Fried shrimp, Mussels, Mahi, Grouper, Grouper sandwich and Frog  legs.
