Santhinos 615 Cross St. (941) 833-0380
Good reports on this small, elegant seafood restaurant.
Sky View Cafe at Charlotte Country Airport, Punta Gorda. (941637-6004) Breakfast, Lunch, Friday Night Dinner.
For a change of pace, this restaurant at Charlotte County Airport is a winner. Dependable eggs and pancakes, french toast which has been coated with Oatmeal (sounds weird, but believe me this is terrific), and they serve in my opinion the best hash browns with scrambled eggs and toast (real rye toast). Friday night fish-fry. Windows to watch the planes come and go. At a recent visit, their pancakes were the best we've had in Punta Gorda.
