“Some places feed you. Some places pour you a drink. And then there are places that hold you. Eden Abbey is one of those rare spaces where craft meets care, where intention lives in every detail, and where community is not a slogan—but a daily practice of love. The beer crafted by Ben Passmore’s is nothing short of extraordinary—thoughtful, balanced, and brewed with both mastery and soul. And alongside his wife, Eve, the heart of this place beats even stronger. Together, they have created something that goes far beyond a brewery or restaurant. They have built a home. The food is elevated and unexpected—beautifully prepared, deeply satisfying, and far beyond what one anticipates from a brewery. The pretzel bites, buttermilk chicken bites, and wings are all exceptional—perfectly done and crave-worthy. The Mo Clucka sandwich is an absolute standout, and the wraps and salads are just as impressive: fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. There truly isn’t a weak spot on the menu. And the people who serve it? They are family. You can feel it in their laughter, their pride, their presence. No one here is simply “working.” They are welcoming, caring, belonging. In moments when small businesses feel the weight of the world—when a single review can sting deeply—we want it known how profoundly this place matters. Eden Abbey is built on integrity, openness, and an unwavering love for its community. It is a place that listens, learns, grows, and gives. We are endlessly grateful for Ben and Eve, for their remarkable team, and for the sacred space they’ve created—where everyone is welcomed with an open heart, and no one is a stranger for long.”

“I rarely give reviews, but this place knows what they are doing, great menu , great tasting food, the nachos were awesome❤️ very creative stuff, the meat tender, the only hard part is choosing what to eat!! Sushi out of this world!! will be back in a hurry!! 🤙🏻👏🏻”

“We went in for lunch, Denton our server, was very knowledgeable regarding my allergies. My BF and I had the steak hibachi. We definitely will be back.”

“Nora was wonderful at the Beau Claire at Lakeside Inn. She greeted my mom and me so warmly even with a big party coming in, helped us sit outside with a beautiful view, and made us feel really comfortable and taken care of. She answered all our questions about the food and how the restaurant operates, and I learned more in one visit than I had in 30 years living here — I didn’t even realize you could just come eat here, and I can walk from my grandmother’s house! Most of all, Nora helped my mom feel at ease with her anxiety. We’re excited to come back. Thank you, Nora!”

“Amazing food everytime! The chef makes you feel like family. The best Valentines dinner we have ever had!”

“Good food, good service and Amazing Bananas Foster which I never liked until I had it here!”

“You can't go wrong at Five Guys. The consistency from one to another is always the same great tasting hamburgers and fries. This location is no different!”

“The restaurant looks great after the renovation. Same great food. Filet Mignon is amazing every time. Great portion sizes. I saw a review saying smaller portion sizes but we didn’t notice that at all. In fact, the portions seemed even bigger. Everyone in our party of 7 loved it.”

“I always have fantastic servers and phenomenal food at this location. I wish all the locations were this great! This restaurant is definitely a frequent visit for me”

“The chicken Curry was wonderful!!! Fantastic service !”

“We are super happy that our little town finally has a shop like Magic Tea 🥰 everyone from the kids to grandma enjoys it, and we can’t get enough of it. Wishing the best for the shop, 🥰 I definitely recommend it 🥰”

“I sure am sorry about the negative reviews! My wife and I have been going there once a week since we moved here in July and it is great every time! The people are awesome,the place is clean and the food is excellent!”

“We ate at the restaurant on 10/25/25 and the food was delicious and reasonably priced. The homemade pastas and veal were fabulous. The services and atmosphere was also wonderful and I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. We will definitely visit it again next year. They even took a reservation during the art & craft show which most restaurants won't do at that time. Delicious!”

“3 for me was awesome...Burger, fries, drink, chips and salsa..$10.99...Delicious....Food was served HOT...Our server, Harmony was fantastic..Thanks Chill's...”

“great food and great service. I will definitely miss coming there.”

“Really yummy.”

“I always joke that I am Sweet Bites by Beirut Bites #1 fan. Other than being at their Mt Dora location, they are involved in several community and vendor events, where I seem to follow 🤣 I’m obsessed with the Dubai Strawberry cups & they are my absolute favorite sweet treat, not to mention everyone working with Beirut Bites are extremely kind to everyone! 🍓🍫”

“Oh my gosh, I chose Allyson A for a latte and an orange scone plus some treats for my hairstylist up the road, and everything was delicious. Eating inside the cafe feels like you’re tucked away in your favorite relative’s dining nook with pretty decor, pictures of family, and cute ceramic plates and actual cutlery. The food is upscale, tastes freshly baked, and is scratch-made. The latte was delicious with a depth of flavor that chain coffee shops don’t have. I highly recommend especially if you need an elegant gift - they offer assorted boxes and discounts on multiples of an item.”

“great safe place for GF eating, here on holiday & have loved everything we tried.”

“Great shop! Bagels are delish!”

“Truly a Amazing local Seafood Dining experience 😋 The Staff and Food is Amazing The menu has a wide selection of Seafood Dining Experience We are local and have this restaurant as our local Seafood restaurant frequently Let's not leave out the Clam Chowder is Truly Amazing 😋”

“We were very impressed! We don’t have any photos because we devoured it all.
Everything was fresh and hot. Highly recommend the garlic Parmesan wings.
Everything was great; service, food, cleanliness.
Highly recommend for your wing night!”

“We went to the Fiests Grande restaurant today (2-1-25). Somebody told the manager that my husband was stealing a cup that was on another table. My husband saw the cup and was showing me how cool it was (we are seniors and if my husband liked a cup that he saw he would have asked our server if the restaurant sold them, we do not have to steal. Nor were we dressed poorly.) So, the manager came over to us, and demanded to look in my husband's bag. I felt so bad for my husband! The look on his face! He was mortified! She did not find a cup, because my husband did not take anything. She embarrassed my husband and me in front of everyone. I approched the manager and told her she was out of line and she told me she had to protect her customers...well, my husband and I were also her customers, she didn't protect us from public humiliation! She also told me " I am Mexican, I know how it feels. I don't know what she meant by that. We will never visit that restaurant again, and probably won't go to Mt. Dora again either! Needless to say, our beautiful day was ruined.”

“I found my new bakery 🎀🤍🎀 The Le Petit Sweet ladies were super sweet and a pleasure to deal with. The cake was not only beautiful but was soooo delicious! The lavender cookies were also beautiful and delicious! I just gave a general idea of what I wanted and told them to just do whatever they wanted and they were absolutely perfect 🎀👼🏼🎀 Then, the rest of the desserts! Macarons, bourbon cream puffs, tiramisu’s, mini raspberry cheesecakes and mini blackberry lime cupcakes were all amazing!!!!! Can’t wait to see what they do for my next event 🙏🏼🤍🎀 Thank you, Le Petit Sweet!”

“Awesome venue and great food and staff. I’ll be seeing you often!”

“Bath was an excellent server at the bar we sat and ate the pot roast dinner which was fabulous. Look forward to coming back again soon.”

“Excellent family atmosphere and above all the food, tasty!”

“We’ve been meaning to try this place for a while, Peach Valley Café gets the green light from us. The food is well-portioned and tasty, the staff is very friendly (they were happy to re-seat us when we decided to switch from indoors to the porch) and the atmosphere is chill. Courtney, our server, was fantastic. Check it out! P.S. Peach Valley, your billboard down the road is how we heard about you.”

“excelente comida y bien servicio. Cristina es excelente .”

“Always have a great experience here. Bartenders Nick and Dakota know how to make a great drink and are extremely friendly. This bar is such a vibe and is a great addition to downtown Mount Dora. It’s a great place for nice drink and a great view above downtown”

“My wife and I found this place about a year ago while looking for local coffee shops. I am always surprised by how balanced the seasonal coffee options are, no matter how crazy they sound! It's really tough to find places that have intriguing new flavors, but also find the right balance so the drink isn't all syrup or flavor. Anyway, we love this little shop and appreciate the time you put into your coffee options!”

“The flavors that I’ve had so far (vanilla ice cream mixed with salted caramel/cookies and cream) were great and the place has a very nice feel to it when it’s nice and busy!”

“Went in a Friday night over the Arts Festival weekend. They were busy, but staff seated us fairly quickly. We ordered a veggie pizza - it came out huge, hot & delicious. The veggies were very fresh, the crust was not too thick or thin & it had the right amount of cheese. Our waitress was friendly & attentive. We feel like we picked a great place & wish we had more time to go back & choose one of their Italian dishes!”

“5 star! I got the carne asada street tacos, and the quesa birria, sooo good! The steak is actually crispy, so hard to find a place that cooks this well! A must try!”

“Delicious ice cream and chia lattes”

“Great place. Best fish and chips around :^)”

“we were so excited for this to finally open, food was delicious 😋 and even though they were very busy it was well staffed and we waited just a few minutes before placing our order, food came out in good time 😍 so happy to have this gem finally on our doorstep 😁”

“First time at this place! Love it! Great environment with amazing cafe latte!”

“Without exception; this is our favorite restaurant in Mount Dora! Not only are we regulars, but the reason we love it is because the food and service are consistently amazing, 5 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ and they never miss the mark! Thank you Stormy for another great evening out!!!”

“CBH is absolutely to die for. LOVE the GF KETO desserts and i usually order online living in Tennessee, but i think they have a promotor. named Adam and a code they say is 20% off (Adam20off) and i like to use that to save $$$. love the items”

“😍Had the Monte Cristo and it was delish.”

“Neat little place in the Marketplace kinda hard to find but worth it.”

“Amazing location, excellent service at bar and patio. Poke is fresh and brick oven pizza just the right size and yummy ingredients. Not heavy at all. Of course wine selection is good and beer is very cold! Sitting outside is gorgeous with Orange umbrellas and just steps from the MT Dora Yacht Club”

“The best donuts in Central Florida.”

“Why does this Jersey Mike's only have a 4.5 rating? They absolutely deserve a 5 star rating! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“We found Botánico while looking for a birthday dinner spot to try something new, and found a new favorite restaurant! The tacos were SO rich with flavor, and the atmosphere was awesome. Sometimes when you eat outdoors it feels like the waiters forgot about you, but that was NOT the case here. We’ll be back!”

“Yep, it's in a gas station (Chevron). Yes, the people are wonderful. Yes, the the food is off-the-charts. Brush up on your Spanish before heading in, though, because this place is authentic, as in the real deal.”

“Delicious food with a wide variety of options Great prompt and kind service. Clean Restaurant. It's really one of our favorites near home.”

“Excellent pizza and friendly service”

“Great food and super great service”

“Our server Jose and another gentlemen provided us with exceptional customer service. They welcomed our family of 5 with smiling faces and friendly personalities. They were patient while we ordered our food and provided quick service. The restaurant was extremely clean, floors were recently mopped and tables were all wiped down. The food was fresh, delicious and well seasoned. For reference, we ordered a combination of wings, subs, fries and pretzels. Our 2 year old was licking her fingers and she is a very picky eater.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly, high chairs provided”

“Had our first experience yesterday. The fruit drinks are super tasty! The tacos, empanadas and sopes were delicious! The pastor was our favorite! Definitely planning to return! It is an outdoor place with one table and five chairs so plan accordingly. But the food was delicious!”

“Hands down, THE best restaurant in Mt. Dora and one of the very best sushi and Thai restaurants I have ever gone to. The menu is large. The food is exceptional and the service is great. HIGHLY recommended!”

“Roberta is fantastic to work with and our wedding cake and groom's cake were perfect and delicious. Roberta worked with us to achieve the icing I wanted and she created a beautiful, perfect wedding cake. The pinball cake she created for the groom's cake was a big hit and was also delicious. I would highly recommend Incredible Edible Cakes for any event. Thank you Roberta!!!! I loved our 2 cakes. They were perfect!”

“Food was absolutely amazing!!! We've eaten here multiple times and absolutely love it! Food is super fresh and staff and very friendly. ❤️❤️”

“we had a great lunch our server Ali was the best!”

“EDIT: I have gone to this chickfila twice since I originally wrote this review. The orders were both complete! I changed the stars from 2 to 5.

I went to this chickfila twice in one day. Both times they messed up our order. First time was wrong drinks. Second time they forgot to give us fries with meals. The food is good, but the service is poor.”

“I ate at the Tavares location for lunch yesterday and had the chopped pork sandwich with fries and sweet tea. Amazing!! Tonight I got the brisket sandwich with mac and cheese and baked beans… even more amazing!! Best brisket I have ever had! Mac and cheese was amazing!! Sweet tea was amazing also! Highly recommend!!”

“great place in mt dora! great food and service..we had the bltt wrap and muffaletta..both delicious and fresh. .frozen lemonade yummy. .highly recommend!”

“This is the worst bar in Mount Dora. If you want to have a bad time. Go here. We showed up to the bar at 10 pm on a Saturday and ordered one drink per person. While my friends went to the bathroom, the bartender walked up to our table and took away our purchased drinks for no reason. The "manager", Mark came up and told me that we weren't welcome anymore. I asked why and he had no answer. I asked why again and he had no answer. Then after multiple times questioning, he said , "your too intoxicated" We were literally sober. The manager then physically intimidated us and forced us to leave. I'll never go to this bar again I live in this town and frequent town regularly. I'll never recommend anyone go to this bar for food or drink. What a top to bottom terrible experience. If you enjoy a good time, skip this bar.”

“This Chinese food location is in my personal opinion, better than most in the are. The food is generally on-point. Occasionally, something minor may be forgotten, but I personally do not allow that to base a solid judgment on. Overall, love it.”

“Lobster special was spectacular! Bread, salad, side and I huge lobster from Maine. They even threw in a dessert. Maybe the dessert was a favor by the waitress. Highly recommend!”

“Awesome service and drinks!! This store is very well managed and the people working there are super friendly. It’s a breath of fresh air seeing someone smile at you when they hand you your order. Thank you for being awesome!!”

“the food here is always delicious, their cups are always stocked, and the staff is very friendly. Angela is very kind, and very helpful. great customer service ❤️

Dietary restrictions: dairy free”

“Fantastic venue and service by the staff is attentive and the food is on point and great value. .99 Wings on Wednesdays and $2 tacos and $5 margaritas on Tuesday. Great selection of whiskeys and if you are into old fashioneds then this is your place. The pumpkin ginger martini is literally bordering orgasmic. They have the NFL ticket with beer bucket deals for game time. The outdoor areas are spacious and inviting. It is now my favorite spot for food and drinks.”

“Have been going here for years. The owner is absolutely amazing and the food is one of the best in Lake County. We’re in the process of moving but will make sure we make it back here often. The food is always fresh, fast and extremely appetizing!”

“I've been going to this restaurant for the last 10 years.The ownership and the quality of food have never changed. I feel like family instead of a customer when I walk through the door and Met with a smile. The general's tao chicken is awesome... The mixed lomaine is phenomenal... And the crab rangoon never disappoints...”

“Great Food and Great service... My husband and I love coming here... If you leave hungry, its your own fault... The plates are always loaded with delicious food....”

“good food, great service we'll be back”

“I’ve been picking up pizza from here for the past couple months and it’s always smelled so good. This is one of those authentic places that you rarely find and I had a gut Feeling that their pizza was the best around there’s a guy named Cameron there. He’s always there. He goes above and beyond. I’ve seen him dealing with angry customers With a smile on his face, but most importantly, the ingredients and the pizza from the pizza shop is my favorite. They gave me a slice on the house and I will not order pizza from anywhere else in mount dora.”

“Ashima G. Hands down best employee ever! This man can multi task like No other and still ask you how your day is going. If you want to smile and have your order be right every time then this is the place to go. Thank you Ashima for always making my day. Your the best!”

“Delicious food in the perfect atmosphere. I have a food allergy to trace amounts (histamine based but thankfully not anaphylaxis) so I usually don't eat at restaurants, but this one was worth it. Everything about the place puts the other Cuban restaurant on the corner to shame.”
