Restaurants in Windermere

“The food is always great here! Next time your in make sure to ask for Sam he was the best.”

“Tonight was our first time eating here. I love how close by it is to where we live. We split an "Antipasto" salad and ordered a 16" "Mediterranean Chicken" pizza. The place was not busy in-house, but they were dealing with a good number of takeout orders. The pizza and salad came out quickly. The pizza was "oven hot", but eating the salad first allowed it to cool a bit. Excellent pizza... thin crust that had a nice chewy texture without being tough. They told us that the crust is "aged" for 72 hours after being mixed to develop flavor. Toppings were freshly prepared and tasty. Our pizza had a pesto base... really good. Very happy with our meal here... we'll definitely be back!!”

“Customer service was great. Lynn was very attentive and nice plus my food was awesome. Definitely recommend”

“I love this place, however I had an experience on 5/1 that I wasn’t thrilled with and it’s very difficult to find a way to contact to give feedback so I had to resort to a FB review. My mom and I visited on 5/1. Our server spilled most of a Champagne Papi onto my lap. I totally understand mistakes happen, however, not once did anyone ask me if I needed anything. The server (I have the name but don’t want to blast all over FB) never asked me if I was Ok, she just simply said she’d be right back with another one, but it was all of the floor, my shorts, my shirt and splashed my mom across the table. I thought maybe she’d be right back with napkin or towel but she didn’t, so I went to the bathroom to try to clean up, but so surprised that no one ever followed up with me. I’m not sure if maybe she was so embarrassed that she didn’t want to tell anyone, or what happened, but I sat in wet shorts the entire time. Thankfully, the pink dye came out of everything, but still am surprised no one ever checked in. Maybe this is standard for you guys, but I wanted to share in case this is not normal.”

“Great place, food is always good”

“Piesanos provided pizza and delivered it to our church for a youth event recently. They were super friendly and the pizza was a huge hit with our teens! Thank you for the awesome service and delicious food!”

“Everything is Delicious and Great Service. Dine-in and Take-Out!👌🏼”

“Fabulous brunch with family on Sunday. Had avocado toast. It was the best I’ve had in a long while. Fabulous, friendly owner and great service. Will definitely be calling here again. Thank you Maria 😊”

“Hello
Once again our experience was incredible. The food was delicious, tasty and arrived very quickly. The cod cake was amazing!!!! Everything wonderful. And we couldn't forget Carol's service. Thank you Manolo 🙏”

“What a hidden gem! We are in Orlando today, and decided to stop at a few breweries. The beers from Windermere were great! Cleaned and defined flavor, and so tasty. The hazy and West Coast IPAs were amazing! The brewery itself is very quaint and pretty.”

“The best poke in Orlando! Always fresh, clean, delicious”

“so so so good!! Friendly staff. Great food. Brings me right back to Hawaii.”

“Hallelujah, I’ve been lost and found! I’ve been searching in the wilderness that is Orlando Italian restaurants for the 25 years that I’ve lived here and I am so happy to proclaim from the rooftops that the new Manzzo’s in “Windernear” is the first authentic Italian restaurant that I’ve found in Central Florida. I’m not saying Italian American, I’m saying Italian. As someone not only of Italian heritage, but as someone who is lucky enough to travel to Italy somewhat frequently, I was so happy to dine at Manzzo’s tonight. Yes, Amatraciana has guanciale in it (not bacon), yes Carbonara has eggs (not cream), and yes, the Tiramisu is not overly sweet. The wait staff is great, the atmosphere is a nice vibe and the wine list is good enough. The food is wonderful. We had a pasta dish and a risotto tonight and it brought us back to Rome, I think Stanley Tucci would be proud to eat here. Even if the authenticity of the Italian food is not a concern to you (admittedly I am obsessed), I am sure that you will find Manzzo’s to be the best restaurant on the west side of Orange County. Give it a try!”

“Thank you for giving me a celiac safe delicious gluten free sub!!! We will be back for sure.”

“I must say this location left a lasting impression! We’ve been to other First Watch restaurants before, but this one truly stood out for its attention to detail, warm hospitality, and how well they handled every part of our visit.

One of the biggest challenges I usually face when dining out for breakfast or brunch is getting my eggs cooked “medium” a seemingly simple request that rarely comes out right. Too often, the yolk is completely cooked through or the whites are left too soft and runny, which can really throw off the meal. But here? They nailed it. The eggs were cooked to absolute perfection, with a nice runny center and fully cooked whites—just how I like them. It might seem like a small thing, but for me, it’s a huge deal and a rare win in breakfast dining. I genuinely appreciated the kitchen staff for taking the time to get it right.

We also tend to order quite a bit of food—yes, there were only two of us, but we love to sample a variety of dishes. Because of that, we usually ask for a booth and a large table so everything fits comfortably. I know some places can be a bit resistant to this when it’s just two people, but the staff here was extremely accommodating. They kindly asked us to wait for a booth to open, and even though we expected it might take a while, it was ready in less than five minutes. That little gesture made a big difference, and it set the tone for what turned out to be an absolutely pleasant dining experience.

Throughout the meal, the service continued to shine. Everyone we interacted with from the host to the server was friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about creating a great experience for us. It’s that kind of customer service that truly sets a place apart.

The food overall was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We enjoyed every bite, and the relaxed, clean, and well-lit dining area made for a perfect brunch setting. The booth was comfy, the coffee flowed easily, and we never felt rushed.

This First Watch location just gets it right from the kitchen staff who respect how you want your food prepared, to the front-of-house team who go the extra mile to make you feel welcomed and accommodated. It’s rare to find a place that checks all the boxes, but this one does.

We’ll definitely be returning and recommending it to friends and family in the area. Huge kudos to the entire team at this First Watch, thank you for a delicious, stress-free, and feel-good brunch experience. You’ve earned loyal customers with this visit!”

“The Italian ice is very delicious and the soft serve is also awesome. They have 5 different sizes ranging from mini to pint. My favorite flavor is the grasshopper.”

“Hands down, the best ice cream! My family and I always have a great time when we go to the Summerport location for ice cream. Kevin Lease and his team are also always a blast at our many community events! Don't waste your time at other Ice Cream Shops. Kelly's is the best!”

“This is becoming a favorite. The salad is too large but very fresh and soooo tasty. (Veggie salad) All the staff are very nice and the atmosphere is wonderful”

“Love the ice cream from brusters my only complaint is the fact when you order a pup cup they give you like a very mini drop of vanilla ice cream expect to give it to my dog I was like really that’s what you’re giving me … No I’ll pay you for a cup of ice cream then was told we don’t have whip cream seriously why would I give my dog whip cream over real ice cream so either fix this or I’ll take my business somewhere else plus my blast I got tonite wasn’t all that you’ve done better so Brusters get with the program and do better !!!!”

“Excellent food and coffee! My wife and I love Juan Valdez. Their coffee is well roasted without tasting burnt or processed. The food is also great, we ordered the beef empanadas and they were amazing. Crunchy, soft and flavorful without being greasy.”

“Food was delicious and service was phenomenal! Very informative and answered all our questions! The mild vindaloo had a kick but if you like a little bit of heat it’s perfect!”

“Great food and d very quaint! 🥰”

“Took the drive from Lake Nona to Josie’s in Windermere. Excellent service. Excellent quality of pizza and wings . Outstanding draft beer ( Josie’s Ale ) . Beautiful , clean , neat and well designed for a romantic or comfortable dinner. Was blown away by the outstanding service. The two young men working this evening ( 6/28) went over and above . Great vibe , great attitude and exceeded expectations. Menu has always been outstanding at Metro West location , so we are very familiar with the brand.”

“Very welcome and friendly manager and servers. The food was super italiono delicious. 👍🏻 from Thai fellows here.”

“I ordered a couple of pies to go last night. They were quite busy when I got there and I did have to wait a few extra minutes, but the pizza was definitely worth it. I will be ordering from them again as I also found out that they will deliver it!”

“The baristas here are so nice! Had a lovely conversation on New Years Eve and the drinks were delicious. So glad I stopped in and thanks for being a joy to talk to!”

“This is a great Starbucks. The staff is amazing and the drinks are delicious. Pastries too. Remember they don’t set the prices 🤪 but they do a great job making the place inviting.”

“Very good coffee and tasty Lemon Bluberry muffin.”

“Enjoy going weekly for the past 5 years at Clermont location. It’s a great place to relax and have great food with family or friends. Never disappointing. ❤️🌮🌯🎉”

“I have been enjoying it since we lived in Winter Park FL and I think that it was the original location, I love it that you can make so many flavor combinations, and you can ALWAYS get a sample.”

“Great customer service! Thx Starbucks!”

“I inhaled this food! Holy guacamole it was PHENOMENAL! I ordered the Alaskan roll & salmon with green beans. Outstanding! Lots of extras added in. White rice, lettuce and soup! All so incredible. Will absolutely order again when in town! Beyond satisfied. Prices were perfect. GrubHub delivery was superb as well! Zero complaints! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”

“Love the smiles, laughs and good vibes of the crew here. Customer service was great! Kason did a great job taking care of our group! We will be back! :D”

“The all-you-can-eat wings on Monday are really good if they will bring them out fast enough. I have been there on nights they were bringing them out quickly, and other times I’m waiting 10-20 minutes between rounds. Otherwise the staff is nice, the drinks are good, and overall it is a nice relaxed place to eat.”
