Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

If you're not staying at Don CeSar Resort, at least consider eating there, at this bastion of fabulous Floribbean cuisine. It's known for elegant dinners of steaks and seafood, but even more so for its spectacular Sunday brunch. The dining room is adorned with 1,500 gallons of saltwater aquariums and Florida fish. A specialty that's one of the most innovative dishes I've ever had is the orange habanero barbecued Gulf fish with warm pineapple, vanilla-bean stew, glazed banana, and rum pepper sauce. The chef's table is a degustation that takes place in the kitchen, at a private table from which guests are able to interact directly with the chef and observe him in action.
