We recently stayed on a houseboat in the Monroe Marina, so the location of this restaurant was just a few hundred feet from our pier. We had such a delicious dinner the first night, that we went back 2 more times. We sat on the screened-in patio with a beautiful view of the lake. Lovely atmosphere inside, as well. Excellent service on all 3 nights, from Gabe who took our reservations and seated us, to our waiters, Ricky, and another gentleman whose name I've forgotten (sorry!) Over the course of dinners on 3 nights (one was take-out) we had the Mussels, Don't Call 'Em Nachos, Key West Chicken and the Pan-Seared Sea Scallops, Caesar Salads, plus Key Lime Pie, Bailey's Cheesecake and Chocolate Cherry Cake. HIghly recommend everything we ordered. We had planned to try a few other restaurants on our visit to Sanford, but after walking around town earlier in the day and checking them out, we opted to stay with St. John's River because of the ambiance, great food and service with reasonable prices. What a great team of employees you have! We wish we had this restaurant in Leesburg, FL!
