I would shoot frank an IM. He's from up that way and would probably have some good suggestions.

Also, try Tripadvisor.

Frank what are the top ten restaurants in Deland?

frank

hmmmm ten you say
well besides cress, there's tony's an italian restuarant owned by an albanian family, el taco amigo a truly authentic mexixan taqueria, cooks cafe for great lunch, bill and franks brickhouse for good burgers
that's all i got, maybe eastshores will chime in

and there's a small hotel named the artisan downtown said to be nice, but we send folks coming to town to hontoon landing to stay

rock_fish

See, frank is a stand up guy.

Artisan is too rich for my (coorporates) blood but the one down the street is a bit cheaper. Though they might make me stay at the clarion, blech

The Mexican place is up my alley. where do the college girls hang out?

frank

in daytona beach
but you can find a few in one of our THREE craft beer bars downtown or the more mature ladies hanging out at the elusive grape wine bar

MRichardson

What do the Hontoon resort gals look like?

rock_fish

Craft brew? Quite the up and coming metropolitan burg. My kind of bars

MRichardson

Seriously though. Better or worse than the Swamphouse girls?

rock_fish

Staying at the the Deland country inn near downtown. I will see what is within walking distance for eats and find a good brew or two after.

Thanks for the suggestions, just might try Cress, too

not a true comparison, swamphouse is a restaurant that hires young women as waitresses, hontoon landing is a family run hotel on the river
different animals, but come on up and spend a weekend on the water and see for yourself

rock fish, swing by cafe davinci while you're wandering around, nice atmosphere and live music
