Our first stop in Mandeville was lunch at The Lake House located on Lakeshore Drive. The views from the front porch second floor balcony are breathtaking. J & I had a couple cocktails, a wonderful appetizer of fried green tomatoes, and shrimp tacos. Delicious and the view was amazing.
We then did some retail therapy. The Northshore is also known for their quaint shops and restaurants.

Good evening, Ron! Looks like you had a great day on the Northshore. The Lake House has been on my radar since Tom Fitzmorris and his wife love it. I just need to get someone to cross the lake with me! Have a great evening! Cheers! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tour! I enjoyed each place. I'm imagining you with that gold alligator serving piece!
ReplyDeleteYou find the best stores and restaurants! Looks like a great day!
ReplyDeleteThe Northshore does have exciting restaurants and shops. It is not New Orleans, but it is all good.
ReplyDeleteYou and J had a fab weekend! It is so hard to get really good fried green tomatoes in a restaurant. Your drinks look so good. I found several things I would like in the store. Yeah, what did you buy? xoxo
