Our knowledgeable guide Brad told us if you go in the late summer (wet season), 2' or so of water is flowing through it. So, what you see in the two seasons is different. They also have a nice gift shop, small museum and a restaurant. We saw all sorts of birds and animals. Even though they aren't necessarily exotic or rare, you are seeing them in their habitat. The ranch property really represents FL, more so than some other types of tours. And, it is for all ages and reasonably priced. Our visiting late teenage aged grandsons and friend enjoyed the tour every bit as much as we did. Highly recommend!

An unforgettable Opolo Wine Pairing Dinner experience at Lakehouse Restaurant!…read more We were beyond excited to be invited, and for a moment we truly forgot we were in Babcock Ranch -- every course and pairing delivered a world-class dining experience. Amuse: The Broccolini Velouté paired with Chandon Brut was light, silky, and the perfect elegant opener. First Course: The Blue Crab Salad with mango, avocado, jalapeño, and key lime paired with Summit Creek Sauvignon Blanc was bright, fresh, and beautifully balanced. Second Course: The Lobster Doppio with Yukon gold potato, asparagus, and butter-carrot emulsion paired with Summit Creek Zinfandel was rich, buttery, and absolutely indulgent. Third Course: The Duck Confit with celeriac and red wine gastrique paired with Summit Creek Cabernet Sauvignon was bold, savory, and deeply flavorful. Intermezzo: The Lemon Martini Sorbetini was refreshing, citrusy, and perfectly cleansing between courses. Entrée: The Filet Mignon with wild mushrooms and demi-glace paired with Opolo Petite Syrah was tender, luxurious, and perfectly matched with the wine's depth. Dessert: The Cocoa Choux Puff with chocolate crémeux, salted caramel, and vanilla paired with After Dark Old Fashioned was decadent, smooth, and the ultimate finale. Huge shoutout to Chef John, the Sous Chef, and the entire Lakehouse team for pulling off such an extraordinary culinary experience -- the execution, hospitality, and attention to detail were flawless. We cannot wait to be back for the next unforgettable dining event at Lakehouse Restaurant! The Lakehouse Kitchen & Bar at Babcock Ranch

I have a buyer closing in Babcock so today we were doing the walk thru. When we were done I wanted…read moreto see what Babcock had for food. I drove around looking for something that wasn't a chain and found this place tucked in the corner of a plaza. I immediately got a great vibe walking to the door with the music on in the patio and the fun outside decor. I walked in and was greeted by Andrea (I walked in at 1045, they don't open till 11, oops). She was the sweetest and chatted with me for a little bit and told me about the restaurant. It's owned by her, her husband and his parents. And the other staff is family ad well. They have been open for 4yrs. Started as a food truck on Food Truck Fridays at Founders Square and emerged into this great looking space. Their hours are 11a-9p, but since today is first day of world cup they are going to be playing all the games while open and even stay open later to watch the 9pm games. I was told by Andrea and the waitress that the "Cheesy Birria Tacos" was the top seller so I gave it a try. And I got a passion fruit smoothie as my drink. The smoothie was delicious! (BRAIN FREEEEEZE! LOL) They serve chips and homemade salsa while you wait for your meal. The salsa had a great taste to it. It is a tad lil spicy, so know that if you don't like spice. Andrea let me sit while they were still opening up and once 11 hit the customers started rolling in. I really enjoyed the meal. The meat was so tender, so when I bit into it I bit right theough... I wasn't pulling all the meat out of the taco on the first bite. Perfect. The rice n beans were ehhh... I'm not a fan of R&B, and i knew that. I should have asked what other options there were . I did end up asking for future reference and she said they have plantains and fries. Ill have to remember that for next time! Since I just stopping for a quick bite and to check the place out. I packed half my meal up for later. When I'm in the area again I'll come back and try other items that were recommended. All said and done, I really enjoyed the place. Ill put it on my list to come back with some friends that I know havent been out this way so they can experience it too!

Warm hand made chips, ah yeah! The food was fantastic. There was nothing wrong with our meals at all. The service was nice. Not overwhelming but I did have that cliche moment where 3 things happened. I ordered a drink that they ran out of, I ordered a dish that hey didn't have and the guy came and asked how everything was when I had food in my mouth. Ambiance: solid 3.5 out of 5. Crying baby and loud TVs but overall, not too bad.

We desired a new shelving system to be designed for and installed in a kitchen pantry in our home. Not a large area, but with very complicated dimensions due to its location under an L-shaped staircase. We wanted maximum efficient use of the pantry space. Every aspect of Closet Factory's staff was terrific--professional, skilled, attentive, conscientious, reliable, and respectful. This is not the place to publish names, but I have made all this known to their owners and management. The design professional that initially visited our home listened to our description of what we wanted, made measurements, added their personal touch, created the perfect design on their laptop as we had described, and reviewed costs with us. No delay, no multiple contacts, no hand sketches, no scratch pads, just state-of-the-art professionalism. We had several other firms visit and did our due diligence. Closet Factory's price was competitive. No other firm compared to Closet Factory's obvious professional and technical prowess. We executed our agreement with Closet Factory, a second person visited to verify dimensions, we finalized the design, and the fabrication of our system went into the production queue. The final installation date was even sooner than originally anticipated. The installation crew was timely and neat, and the work was professionally performed. Every aspect of the entire process was performed solely by Closet Factory staff. I spent my career in the construction industry. I have seen the good, the bad and the ugly. I put all aspects of my experience with Closet Factory among those of the top firms I have worked with in my career.

Highly recommend Regan and Rafal for any project.
