Restaurants near Lake Helen

“My wife and I visited Sinatra's last night for dinner and Dueling Pianos. We arrived about 5.30pm, in time for happy Hour. I had Canneloni with a meatball side. My wife ordered Chicken Piccata. Both of our meals arrived in about 20 minutes. Flavors, service and presentations were all great, and reasonably priced, especially considering since they provided live entertainment. There are 3 pianos set up together with rope lighting, surrounded by glass countertops and a bar with about 15 seats. We lasted about 90 minutes at our table. Other customers needed to be seated for dinner, so Alexis, our Server, kindly moved us to a few vacant seats at the bar. The piano players entertained us with songs from the 40's to recent times, many of which were customer requests. We had an amazing time, absolutely amazing. Sinatra's is a gem of entertainment and fun, hidden in a quiet community at the Cassadega Hotel. It gets crowded, so call about 30 minutes ahead for seating. We will be back.”

“My sister in-law and I went to this Greek restaurant. First time for me. I decided after our main meal that I wanted to try every dessert they had on the menu . The food was delicious and the service was the best and the desserts were awesome. The owner of the restaurant actually came to our table and took pictures of us and the server. The best time of my life. Recommend this place totally.”

“We are so happy we found a new go-to place thats much closer than Lake Mary! The Butter chicken and cheesy garlic naan were the best. We will definitely be back. Very nice people, good food, good location.”

“Awesome service good prices”

“The restaurant is in an interesting location in what appears to be an office building. That said, the atmosphere is upscale once you go inside. They have amazing drink selection. I got the hot honey pizza and it was amazing. Our server was Bella and she did a fantastic job. She made sure we did not run out of bread before our food arrived. She also did an amazing job ensuring our wine glass was not empty.”

“Best hands down, Starbucks count your days”

“This place never disappoints!!”

“So I had a taste for some Pho. Found this place on yelp. Looked good, ordered takeout since it was close to closings time. Egg rolls (pork), on point they were well cooked and crispy, with great flavor. Porky Bao, these were absolutely delicious! Pork was succulent and full of great flavor. I’d make a couple of orders of these as an entree. Chicken Pho, oh this hit the spot. Just what I was wanting. Flavorful and more than I expected since this was a “to go” order. It was packed separately pho broth was in a separate container from the pho chicken, noodles and toppings. So much was included, limes, sauces, chopsticks and even the spoon! Thai tea, was great too! A definite recommendation and winner in my book! My pics won’t upload for some reason, so check em out in the comments.”

“Best cold brew in deland! Love their iced lattes as well. Their seasonal sweater vest flavor is to die for.”

“Let me tell you something. come here before some YouTubers does a video and this place becomes packed 24/7. This place is the definition of a hidden gem. I didn't get a chance to go home for Christmas, but after eating here, I feel like I got my Christmas dinner after all. when I walked in it didn't look like a ton of food, but I was wrong. I tried to have a bit of everything, but there was just too much. Everything is real food, home cooked and not from a can. Let's just say I'm a new weekly regular.”

“Osteen Diner is fantastic! Excellent food, high quality, friendly service, and the food comes and fast and correct. I wish I could put more than 5 ⭐️. The best diner we’ve eaten at in a very long time.”

“Wander Bar is awesome! It’s absolutely beautiful, very clean and has a super cool vibe. The bartenders are talented, professional, very efficient, friendly and fun. This place has nailed a rare combo of extra classy while also laid back and chill. My husband played music here for the first time last night and we just can’t say enough great things! Their crowd is also really friendly and welcoming. It was an all around great experience and we will definitely be back! Highly recommend! 👏👏👏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“If you haven’t ate here you are MISSING out. Me and my employees been eating here weekly since DAY 1 this place been open. I probably by now tried every item on their menu and everything is so tasty I can’t even describe. Very affordable, friendly and just delicious!”

“First time visiting and was a wonderful warm and welcoming experience. Loretta was an incredible hostess and the food was delicious. Hand made and selected platings were presented and so well coordinated. A delightful experience and extra touches to celebrate my birthday! 💗”

“First time visiting tonight and they did not disappoint! The food was amazing! We had pork belly tacos (my favorite) and steak tacos plus the steak and portobello noodles. Outstanding. The restaurant was clean as a whistle and Alissa was the absolute best! The food came out fairly quick and was hot and yummy! This is one of the best finds in DeLand! Tucked away on Howry! We will be back soon and often!”

“Having someone escorted from the property by police because they were listening to the music but not drinking wine seems a little shot sighted. We're done.”
