Little Something Different

There’s so much I have to say about the experience I had here this past weekend (Saturday, 7/12). It started with the service, the hostess, Bella, so kind and extremely considerate. Then our server, Justin, he was friendly and attentive. He explained everything in detail and didn’t miss a beat. The ambiance, it literally felt like home, it was quiet enough to talk, the staff was engaging and enthusiastic. Now, on to the food - AH-MAZING! My pics and videos don’t do it justice. Hear me out, if you’re in or near Central Florida, visit Mount Dora and have yourself a Little Something Different. You will be so glad you did. We sure are. We will be back. And to you Angie, thank you 💙

I typically go to restaurants on Mondays when they are less busy, add in a holiday and they are usually dead. Honestly, I think it gives you a far better indicator of customer service then on a busy night. I have to say, service was spectacular. The food was also beyond exemplary, though I ate too much. The mushroom soup was creamy, but also had chunks of mushrooms in the bottom, And not just white button. Followed up with the Caesar salad, Drunken Scotsman and took the Basque cheesecake to go. The entree is bigger than the photo lets on. Should have taken more home rather than eating it there. Will have to go back once they launch their breakfast menu and a new summertime hours. They also have outdoor seating that is pet friendly.

A Delightful Twist on Tradition! What a refreshing and memorable dining experience! The pear and fig salad was a surprising highlight—fresh, vibrant, and beautifully balanced, with just the right touch of sweetness. It set the tone for what followed. The mushroom soup was a masterpiece in its own right, made with five different kinds of mushrooms, all sourced from local farmers. You could really taste the earthy richness and care in every spoonful. The chef’s approach is a beautiful blend of traditional techniques and creative flair—elevating familiar dishes into something truly special. Their Cobb salad was another standout—generously portioned, perfectly crisp, and loaded with flavor. And then… the Tiramisu. Hands down the best I’ve ever had! Made with real ladyfinger biscuits and authentic mascarpone cheese—it was creamy, dreamy, and not overly sweet. Absolutely divine. The little details also made the experience so charming—the cute plates, thoughtful presentation, and cozy yet elegant setup around us. It all felt personal and curated with love. Can’t wait to return!
