LA COQUINA
Considered one of
the area's most desirable "special occasion" destinations, La Coquina
offers guests an incredible lakeside view and the talents of a
resident pianist. Terrific service complements a menu which melds
French and Asian cuisines, resulting in seared tuna wrapped in
prosciutto or veal tenderloin served with sake-glazed prawns. A prix
fixe menu makes the agony of choice less penetrating and allows you to
concentrate on the experience rather than the decision. If you're
intent on savoring the Grand Marnier soufflé while black swans drift
on the lake outside, that's a good thing. DiRoNA award-winner. Upscale
dress required. Reservations highly recommended.

The first of Grande Lakes' restaurants, appropriately named Primo,
doesn't disappoint. The food is only ostensibly Italian with more
creative touches menu wide.

HEMINGWAYS
Casual, yet upscale,
this restaurant offers a place to take a client for lunch or someone
special for dinner. Get started with the squid or grilled eggplant for
an appetizer, then head for a main entree of crab or shrimp. The
interior walls are lined with old fishing photographs, and the
exterior boasts a peaceful waterfall. Reservations recommended; smart
casual dress appropriate. Located in the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress
Resort.
