The "farm to table" concept has really taken hold in Lake County. From contemporary American to authentic Mexican cuisine, you will be surprised at the fresh taste of the entrees and deserts.  Fresh air and fresh food collide to enhance the dining experience as many restaurants also have wonderful outdoor patio space.  At Compadres the foods is so authentic, you might think you are south of the border in Tijuana.  For a quick breakfast, the Sidewalk Café is an interesting place to visit in downtown Painesville. Last but not least,  Brennan's Fish House is a nice place to perch and enjoy the cool breeze off Lake Erie.
