Restaurants:
Restaurants….
One of my all time favourite restaurants Manny’s Chophouse is right on your doorstep. Great food at reasonable prices and nice atmosphere.
Take a left out of SD’s and its about 3 blocks or ½ mile on your right.
For something a bit different I would recommend Kobes Japanese steak house and ask for a chef table.
Also Maggianos Italian at Pointe Orlando and ask for family style dining. 9101 International Drive.
Fantastic Italian chain of restaurants would be Carrabas
For local family dining you will find Perkins, Denny's Olive Garden and Ruby Tuesdays handy.
