Suggestions for a substitute for the Lake Place?

Hmmm. I really can't think of any place that is comparible. Cafe Tango is getting some great reports of late. As far a a similar atmosphere, the closest I can think of would be Basmati, but the menu is decidedly different.

Basmati's is our favorite for the area. Sorry, I never had the opportunity to enjoy the Lake Place. We also like Smiling Fish cafe, only open on Tues. night.
The Santa Rosa Country Club is open to the public. I am not sure a lot of people are aware. A beautiful view of the ocean while dining. Food is good, but not excellent.

I think you would be happy at Cafe Tango. Need to make a reservation.

Thanks for the responses. We're going to try Tango; we were never able to before because we didn't make reservations soon enough.

hi franny!

If you feel like making the trip to Destin, Chef Jim Richard and Chef Brannon are both at Harbour Grille (in the old Harry T's location on the Destin harbor). It is a drive, and the atmosphere is completely different; but the food is just as wonderful with similar menu items as the Lake Place. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and has live music (Donnie Sundal was playing when we were there) and has great views of the harbor. Like I said, it is a completely different atmosphere, but it is Jim Richard's food.

You're so smart!

We're familiar with the Terrace, it's good but not like the Lake Place. We'll see about the old Harbor Docks; it's just awfully far away. Again, thanks for the responses.

Lake Place, for sure. Like everything in the area, bring extra cash if you're anticipating having a bottle of wine or two. Great experience, though.

The Lake Place was our favorite restaurant on 30A, so we're looking for a replacement (for this year, anyway, knock on wood!). Any suggestions for something comparable?

ahhhh The Lake Place....one of our very favorites too!!!
Our top 2 favorites would be The Lake Place and BORAGO'S so if you haven't tried Borago's you might want to consider it.
Have enjoyed Tango in the past but it's been a few years....
