TESTIMONIALS

We went here for lunch to celebrate my birthday and everything was great! The staff was very friendly and the food was delicious. One of the people in our party had an egg, dairy and soy allergy and the staff was careful and accommodating! We will definitely be back.

Excellent spot for both brunch and happy hour. Ryan was a fantastic waiter- attentive and friendly. We’ve already been three times since they recently opened, and each visit with family has been a great experience.

We had the distinct pleasure of having Kathy as our server. She was delightful! The food was great, cooked perfectly. Tuna tataki and steak frittes, yum! A few delays from the bar but working out the kinks of a new restaurant. Will be a new regular for us. Welcome to Mount Dora!
