The Goat Burger with sweet potato fries was the best that I've ever had. I would recommend it and I will be back every time I am visiting in downtown Mount Dora.

Awful. Reuben sandwich inedible, chewy, elastic meat although hardly any on the sandwich, waitress said many complaints received but nothing done. Totally disappointed. Mount Dora done no favours by this place, it definitely needs a deep clean. No value at all.

Quirky small bar/restaurant in a basement with cool decor. The place does get crowded on the weekends. We were there on Saturday, 12/2. I ordered the cottage pie w/ greenbeans & carrots. My husband got a philly sandwich. Both were good, a little high prices...for the sizes but it's expected in a trendy place. The carrots were fantastic. Our server was nice and she was busy. Overall it's a fun place.More

Food was good but a little expensive. The chicken sandwich I had didn't even fit on the bun, so small. The pork belly tacos were cooked perfectly, crispy. Abel was our bartender. Great guy. Drinks good. Kind of like an old town Irish pub half...underground. Pretty coolMore

Cute pub. Fish and chips were delicious. Lots of choices for beers. Fun being in a basement in Florida, but nice when it’s 100 degrees outside!

Our family party of three enjoyed lunch there. This restaurant has limited seating, with no outside tables, and fills up fast. I believe they do take reservations and I would advise making one for your group. The food is well prepared and promptly served. The...chicken teriyaki salad was nicely composed and not salty. The pork belly tacos were good; the chicken sandwich with fries was average. We would not come back however, because the music was so loud that it was hard to have a conversation. There are lots of great restaurants in the immediate area that are alternatives.More

Let me start by saying that the food here is INCREDIBLE! The atmosphere is fun and welcoming. My husband and I enjoyed the live music. The place is a bit small and loud, so if you are looking for a quiet dinner, I would advise...ordering takeout.More

First time there and was really impressed with the ambiance of the property, menu selection and staff. It reminds me of the great eateries in the UK.

Food has deteriorated, it used to be good. Do not order the cheese platter, old and hard cheese. We were OK with the hard cheese, because we thought it was like that, but after leaving the restaurant and developing a bad allergy around the mouth...and stomach ache, we were very disappointed.More

On a girls weekend to Mt Dora this was our restaurant of choice for our first night. Ambiance was nice, live music very enjoyable, food even okay, but the management was a nightmare! Nightmare! Yes that is correct…nightmare! I DO NOT recommend this restaurant at...any point during a trip to a charming little lake town!More
