Restaurants near Alexander Springs Recreation Area

This is the place to go for heat food, great servers, ina great environment. Too may restaurants are open and noisy. You We had a can still feel the buzz of activity, but also intimate enough to have conversations. Dang Bang Shrimp was great. As well as the entrees, Surf and Surf special (black grouper (with crab topping) & shrimp scampi, crab cakes, and a filet mignon. No that wasn’t all me, there were three of us. Great wine selection, well priced for the quality of food and drinks that you get. Now onto the server. We had Kevin! I know, you’re thinking, just tell us the service was good so we can book our reservation. No! I’m telling you to book your reservation and ask for Kevin. All the servers here are great. Very helpful, attentive, friendly, and fun. But Kevin was all that and more! He had a great sense of humor and put up with me….. that’s allot of you know me. He knew the menu and drinks well, was quick to make suggestions for my, very slow to decide sister, and patient. So bottom line, great environment, amazing food, fantastic wine list, and KEVIN! Now, go find a time and make a reservation, you can stop looking.

As always the meal was very fresh and delicious. Our server brought some sauce samples for us try and checked on us often. We arrived 5:15 and were seated in our choice of table and within an hr the place got packed I've had breakfast there a few times and also very good. It's clean, nicely run place with sufficient parking which can be a challenge downtown Deland.

Food was just ok. Service was pleasant. Beautiful view of the lake.

Our server, Austin D, was awesome! He was extremely knowledgeable with the menu, including libations. This was our first experience at Summer House on the Lake; it’s safe to say we’ll be back! They have a ton of gluten free options, and the sangria was some of the best I’ve had. Definitely worth checking out and returning :)

Service was average at best. Food was good and about what you would expect for the price. The noise level was high. Only about half full but hard to carry on a conversation with the person next to you.
