50 Best American Restaurants near Montverde

“The Hamlin location took amazing care of us today. We had to request a change of seating as we had some mobility issues within our party and they did it without any issue. I managed to spill my drink and the waitress was super relaxed with getting me a damp rag to clean it up. We ordered a drink not realizing it was smoked and they swapped it for us as we had a massive allergy issue in our party. I promise we aren’t usually so high maintenance but when I say they rolled with our oddly chaotic punches I deeply appreciated it. It’s the end of 2024 and I’m so proud of these folks for being on their ‘A’ game and accommodating us. Good food. Good service. Good time all around. I hope these rockstar servers hand an absolutely amazing 2025.“

“My husband, Al, and I dined at the Chef's Table on Feb 19 2024 and celebrated my birthday. We ordered from the chef's tasting menu and could not have been more pleased. It was one of the best restaurant meals we have had in a very long time. You see I am a classically trained and award-winning chef in my own right so my standards are quite high and I am, more often than not, disappointed in restaurants, even fine dining establishments. Al started with the "Heartbreaker" Cocktail, which was excellent then he had the mushroom and chive crepe torte for an appetizer, exceptional and enough for 2 to share actually so we brought part of it back to the hotel and had it for lunch the next day. He then chose the Duck confit, also outstanding. For dessert he had the chocolate torte with the toasted marshmallow ice cream and caramel sauce, again, beyond delicious and the ice cream was the best thing i've had in my mouth in a long time. Al also did the wine pairing with his courses. I sampled each pairing and they were perfectly matched. I tried the Mr. Pink as an aperitif and loved every drop but the pink peppercorn's stole the show. Then I started with the foie gras. Every bite just brings you to your knees. This was the main reason we selected The Chef's Table to begin with because I had to have foie gras. I chose the filet for my entree and I must say it may have been one of the best filet's i've ever eaten. Cooked perfectly medium rare with a char that was to die for. I brought part of my filet back to the hotel to go with the torte for lunch the next day. Even warmed up it was delicious. For dessert I had the mission fig bread pudding, which had a fantastic texture and was the perfect level of sweetness. I paired the pecan pie martini with it and it was decadent and complimented the dessert perfectly. I did not opt for the wine pairing as a sip of two from Al's were enough for me. Our server, JJ, was attentive, funny, and generous with her time. The manager came by twice to chat with us. The atmosphere was romantic but not stuffy and we had a great view of the kitchen, which as a chef is simply theatre for me. Lastly, the prices were not stupid. This kind of tasting menu can easily run well over $100 pp without the wine pairing. I appreciate the fact that, while affordable, it was elegant and indulgent. We will never visit Orlando again without returning to The Chef's Table and I will recommend it to everyone I know. Thank you for such an amazing experience. Amanda & Al Fraioli“

“We stopped by for lunch today for the first time. We had 5 people in our party and we were all very pleased with our meals and the staff.

We will keep Honey Baked Ham from Clermont in mind for our future gatherings.“

“I adore Fresh Kitchen - the best restaurant I've found in the area to eat a gluten/dairy/meat free dinner that is also low in salt! That's because two of the managers know my restrictions and automatically put together a delicious bowl that I can safely eat (rice, chickpeas, kale, red pepper, almond slices, etc) - and it's delicious! Yesterday, I took my bowl home, added fresh sliced peaches and avocado, enough then to split into two meals. It was awesome.“

“We celebrated a friend's birthday at The View. We were a party of 14 with several individual checks. Our server was Hailey. Hailey was terrific in keeping up with many drink and food orders. She consistently came by to check on us. The food was good and came out quick. The View overlooks the east of Central Florida and is beautiful during the day or night. I highly recommend The View.“

“some of the best wings in town. i’ve been coming here for years and the quality has stayed consistent, which is hard to say about many restaurants. i’m looking at you mcdonald’s

wings are crispy, sauces are customizable (you can mix and match), appetizers are good (especially the corn nuggets and funnel fries).

Parking: shared parking lot“

Kind, attentive, smiling, and arranged a happy birthday song w.ice cream for my father in law. He loved it, we were all thankful. We tipped her very well, she deserved it.“

“This is the best breakfast place in town, hands down! There’s no place like First Watch. They have excellent service, amazing people, and delicious food! I highly recommend coming from breakfast or lunch!“

“Staff very friendly Food came quickly Pleasant atmosphere“

“We waited 20 minutes to get waited on. Ordered biscuit and gravy. brought my eggs and bacon and told me they cooked the biscuits with the wrong flour and they were making more. (Really). so I just changed it to hash browns and toast. And waited on that while everything else got cold. Had to get up and get our own silverware off the counter because we could not get a waitress attention. Food was good (what was available) but the service was awful. My third time there. First two times was good.“

“One of my favorite places to go“

“What can I say, I’ve been here quite a few times. Today was my favorite time ever being here actually. I decided to let whatever server I got, choose everything I ate. And Aurora did not disappoint. I asked her about seafood and she told me why the lobster tacos might be the way to go. She talked about flavor balancing between different menu items and tried to explain to me all the showcasing of the different seafood and how it worked for flavor profiles. I asked her about side dishes to go with it. She told me all the standard side dishes and she saw that I was not over excited by any of the offerings and she suggested maybe the premium truffle ranch potatoes might be what I’m looking for. She was not wrong on any of it. Lobster was cooked to perfection and all of the items placed on that taco belong there. She was right the balance was there. I was surprised when I got the fries. I thought it was going to be drenched and something, but it wasn’t. But I tasted the truffle and the ranch and the sauce and the side was perfect next to those crispy fries. I did not want to jinx myself so I had her decide my dessert unknown to her what I was doing. She chose the pistachio bread pudding. Not something I would ever get. It was delicious. I’m not going to lie. My only complaint is it needs more ice cream because it is so decadent and rich. Just get an extra side dish of more ice cream, you’ll thank me. Aurora you are a great server and I hope RusTeak knows it. Thank you for making tonight epic for me. I am stuffed and happy.“

“loved it my waitress was incredible kinda wish I cought her name!“

“Arlene is the best server ever!!! The food is always great“

“The food and atmosphere is great . We had an issue when I came in with my daughter but it was quickly put right by the wonderful Manager and we can’t wait to visit again“

“Good fast service, clean kitchen, friendly people, and AMAZING food. 100% recommend and will be back. The sausage gravy is the best I've had not from my own kitchen. Come hungry and taste the maple tap coffee ☕“

“This place is my home away from home. I come here at least once a week. Not only are the food prices very affordable, but the staff and atmosphere are also outstanding. Shout out to Shana and Cindy—they always make me feel welcome. Whether I’m with the kid or just winding down with a few drinks after work, this is my go-to spot and it never disappoints.

My only suggestion would be to offer a larger drink special for those of us who aren’t looking to buy premium cocktails.

I genuinely love this place. It’s comfortable, consistent, and always a great time. I wouldn’t want to spend my evenings anywhere else.“

“Thank you to John, the owner of Beef O Brady's in Clermont for renewing my faith in the great food and wonderful service at this restaurant.
After a not so good experience, recently, I posted a not so wonderful review.
In John's defense, he was out of town and didn't know about it, until he read my review.
He was not happy about it, and offered to make it right. He replaced my meal, and promised the issue would never happen again.
I believe that is how a good business operates. I will definitely keep Beef O Brady's as one of my favorite places to eat.
Thank you, John.“
