This summer we checked out a bunch of local beachfront eateries, worried we'd find pricey tourist grub, but instead snagged some delicious affordable meals just steps from the beach (as vacation home ads like to say).
The latest: Some have slowed service for the season but The Lakefront Restaurant in the old Theater on the Lake building stays open year-round with a gorgeous patio and Hamptons vibe.
Dig in: Skip the overcooked shrimp in the Old Bay Ceviche ($16) and go for the gorgeous Fresno pepper deviled eggs ($9).
- We loved the smoky tender chicken tinga tacos ($14), fresh guajillo chicken salad ($15) and giant brisket dip sandwich topped with gruyere and arugula ($17).
Drink up: Lakefront offers a wide selection of regular and craft beers ($6-8) and cocktails ($14) on the patio and in the large indoor bar and dining room.
Steps to the beach: Taking a dip from the ledge was just 103 steps from my table. I swam and returned before my dining companions even missed me.
