The Write-Up
Warm and lakeside on Lake Ivanhoe, The Pinery pairs a rustic elegant room with Florida cooking that guests call fabulous. Start with the broiled blue crab dip and bread board with pimento cheese, then move to crab stuffed salmon, smoked duck, or shrimp and grits. Truffle Parmesan fries and a Cold Brew Martini or pina colada round out a table built for lingering over the water.

District Story
A lake named for a novel, a shore of cotton, pineapples and amusement rides, and a main street that kept reinventing itself around the water.
