1 Springside Restaurant
Silver Springs
“I camped at Silver Springs for a few nights, and I wanted a nice lunch after a great morning on one of their world famous glass bottom boats. This was the main restaurant on their little strip mall of little places to visit. So we stopped in and looked at their globally inspired menu. Ambiance was good. Huge windows so you can look out towards the springs and see the boats coming and going. Plenty of seating everywhere. The service was really nice. Nice folks behind the counter, and the food came out pretty quickly. I had a sandwich, the Chivito (Uruguay) (Thinly Sliced Steak, Ham, Bacon, Lettuce, Mayo and Melted Mozzarella on Ciabatta with a Fried Egg). This was a nice ciabatta. Soft, firm, able to absorb the juices from the juicy ingredients. A very indulgent sandwich that was just what I needed after a warm morning on the water. A nice refreshing sandwich I also got to try was the Grilled Apple & Gouda (Granny Smith Apple Slices, Smoked Gouda, and Brown Mustard on Grilled White). Very smokey gouda, bright mustard, and tart apples slices, and with the excellent texture from that panini pressed white bread. Just a really nice crafted sandwich. We ordered an extra side of the Sweet Corn Fritters (Served with a Drizzle of Hot Honey). I wish I could go back in time and just order four orders of these. Crispy, hot gooey corn inside, a delicious pop of sweetness from the honey. These were just wonderful. If nothing else, get these. Overall, for what it was, where it was, this was a lovely little meal. I don't know how I could have improved upon this visit. I totally recommend.”
