    In our eyes 3 great diners

    Would just like to share these 3 restaurants which, yes have been spoken about on the forum before, but having just returned from Florida Dec 30th thought I would mention them while still fresh in the mind.

    Houlihans - US192 heading towards US27 from Disney left hand side of carriageway. Fabulous Food

    Carrabbas - US 192 heading towards US27 from Disney left hand side of carriageway Great Italian Food, a great alternative to Olive Garden

    Both the above serve smaller portions than the standard USA size so easy on our UK tummies.

    Manny's Chop House. <span style="colorurple"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS">WOW what an experience</span id="Comic Sans MS"></span id="purple"> US27 just outside Haines City. Extremely Busy Diner.

    Both Manny's and Carrabbas are very busy diners with long queues.
    Our tip is to phone them 30 - 45 mins before your arrival to put your name on the waiting list. It does work as you will only have to wait 10-15 mins to b seated instead of 45 -60 mins, both restaurants promote ringing first to add your name to the waiting list.

    For those on the H27 rhere is also a Carrabbas on the H50 at Clermont. Fewer tourists!

    If there are only 2 of you and you dont mind, you can sit at the counter to eat and watch the chefs at work at Carrabas. Be warned though, they give you samples of their cooking and by the time your meal arrives you are no longer hungry! It does save on the waiting time though if you havnt pre-booked a table.

    I must try the other Carrabas at Clermont on our next visit.

    Mannys I agree is good too. Wasnt that impressed with Houlihans service though.

    We found Mannys extremely noisy but the food was good. Definately going back to Carrabbas, didn't know about the one on H50. Had a 50% refund at Houlihans as 2 out of 4 mains weren't very good.

    Justs shows we all have different experiences.
    Regards, Mark

    All three get my vote. I find little to choose between them.
