No Lake Place YET?

The Lake Place is open 7 nights a week. 5 P.M. nightly.

Judging by the number of cars there last night it is all the rage. I even saw Jim himself in the parking lot last night as I drove by, wondering if he was parking cars. I saw a sign "valet parking $5".

The Lake Place is open? Or are you calling Stinky's the Lake Place?

Stinky's Fish Camp is in the new building and the Lake Place is in the old building where Stinky's used to be. So, both restaurants are open now.
The Lake Place is accepting reservations nightly at 5pm. 622-9766
Stinky's is open for lunch everyday from 11-2:30 and open for dinner nightly at 5pm.

We are going to The Lake Place for dinner tonight!

Oh My Cod...and grouper and flounder and shrimp and crab and lobster and more crab! We had a feast!

Run, don't walk (but don't speed in your car) to The Lake Place! We walked in to the former Stinky's and it was like a new place! They did a great job in changing the atmosphere! We had one of our very best dining experiences ever last night. The menu is set up so that you can do small plates of all the entrees and that is jsut what we did! Read what we ordered and weep!

Crab cake with avacado and mustard remoulade

Florida lobster a top a fried green tomato.

a trip of soups...crab bisque, seafood gumbo and smoked oyster and artichoke

potato crusted grouper

daily fish special...flounder with extra crab meat on top.

I cannot tell you how wonderful this meal was from every angle! Our server, Jennifer, was top notch and steered us in the right direction. Mr. Kitty was astounded at how reasonable the bill was! Mercy, when can we go back? ;-)

back, Lake Place! A 5 trillion star experience!

Miss Kitty - is Lake Place more "fine dining"? I know the original was.

Yes, I would definitely say casual fine dining. White tablecloths and all! I am still dreaming about that meal. When do you get back in town? This dining report will be one of your best moments. ;-)

Cool! Does The Lake Place have full bar, and can we see the menu?

I walked in last Friday, and walked out when I learned that the place had no liquor licence. I enjoy a martini with my haute cuisine. I predict that this place will fail. You need a full bar to succeed with a place like this, IMO.

That's haute!

I don't understand why Stinky's would have full bar, but not The Lake Place. Makes zero sense, but it's the case.

Waiting for the license perhaps? IIRC Stinky's started off as just beer and wine. Give it a little time and you can have spirits with your Haute cuisine.

You anxiously waited for the place to open, then walked out w/o even trying it because you couldn't get a strong drink that would numb your tastebuds w/ your meal?

Based on the many rave reviews, lack of a full bar isn't going to make the place fail. Many people can enjoy a meal w/ a non-alcoholic beverage, beer, or wine. Frankly, I can't remember the last time I had a cocktail w/ my meal - it's more a pre-dinner or non-food thing in my circle.

I love Stinky's. Will try The Lake Place....saw the $5.00 to park sign....thought that was rather tacky....is that for either place?

To each his own.

Lake Place & Stinky's

The Lake Place was very successful for many years w/no liquor licence prior to Stinky's. Stinky's did not have a liquor license until last month and was very successful without it... Both Lake Place and Stinky's are one of the few places we have on 30A where everything is made fresh in house.

We have been loyal customers of Jim's since he was at Flamingo Cafe... now with his talents and those of his other chefs on board you must go back and have dinner.... I promise you will be happy and they do have a very nice wine list.

Drink smink, I am soooooo ready to try the Lake Place.

My folks and brother are coming to Seagrove with me and hubby next month and my folks are so excited to try Stinky's and The Lake Place. Flamingo Cafe was our special meal back in the day in Destin.

I can't say enough good stuff about Stinky's. The fresh ingredients are to die for! We come over several times a month from PCB to eat at Stinky's. Can't wait to try Lake Place. You know, I guess if someone wanted some liquor, one could always eat at Lake Place and head back to Stinky's for a nightcap!?? Just a thought.

Pure gold. Lake place will do just fine without having to serve you liquor. Baytowne may be more your speed

We'll see. The track record of such places that only offer beer and wine is not good.
