Places to eat in Sebring, Avon Park or Lake Placid

Hitting Highlands County for the weekend and looking for a couple of lunch places, preferably Mexican and Southern/Barbecue and one nice dinner place. Anyone been to the Sebring Diner or at the other end of the spectrum the restaurant at Chateau Elan? I know the area isn't known for its food but I'm sure there is something there worth discovering. Thanks in advance.

One shot for anniversary dinner downtown

This is an amazing board and I am nearly overwhelmed by the info I've gained here. My husband and I are celebrating our anniversary in San Francisco. It's our first big trip without the kids and a very big deal as my husband was born here and hasn't been for 20 years. I am looking for a restaurant with a romantic atmosphere, walking distance from Union Square (20-30 minutes) that serves a great steak, filet, and won't set us back more than $100 w/o wine It can be Italian, French, Latin, Brazilian, whatever. We just want a place we can linger that isn't really loud and I want him to remember this meal. Thanks so much for giving me a week's worth of fantastic recommendations for our trip!

Thai or Vietnamese Lunch Back Bay or Downtown

Thanks to all. Based on your recommendations and location, Bangkok Blue sounds perfect for us.

Nantasket Beach?

I grew up eating from the Hingham Lobster Pound and aside from a bad lobster we got from there once, love it but isn't it still just take-out? No place to relax with friends and eat dinner

Thai or Vietnamese Lunch Back Bay or Downtown

I am a former Bostonian back for a quick visit. My daughters and I are looking for a Thai or Vietnamese place, preferably with a bit of atmosphere somewhere between Park Street and Copley Square give or take a block. We'll be there for lunch on a weekday. Thanks.

Nantasket Beach?

I agree on La Dalat, We had a great meal there last summer, and that Schooners is a great place for fried food, just not crazy about the atmosphere
