This restaurant has a lovely patio with one of the best views of the lake in town. Great for grabbing cocktails or a drink in the evening. I would not recommend eating here however, the prices are expensive and the food is not usually good.

The Mount Dora Lighthouse is one of only three freshwater lighthouses in Florida.
