The service was great, the drinks were delicious albeit boozy but not complaining. They had interesting options for food and were quite filling and definitely shareable. With most of the crafted cocktails that you order, you get a card so we tried to drink as many as we possibly could. It was definitely worth the drive out. They did a really good job theming the bar from visual aesthetic to menu items. It really did feel like you were stepping into a wonderland. The decor was perfection and exactly what you think an Alice in Wonderland themed bar would look like. I'm not sure how long this is going on until but it was fun!

This visit was such a dream, there are so much whimsical decorations here in all directions. They did the full place up. There is no reservations for this so there was a little wait. Maybe 30 minutes at the longest but it sure got busy after we were seated. The menu is part of their restaurant already and what we had was tasty. It was a shareable pulled pork app. Everything was lovely and everyone around was so friendly. The one thing that was an issue was the A/C. They had wall units but possibly everytime the door opened the heat came in so it was a bit warm inside. This was such a fun experience nonetheless. People even dressed up for this. I felt casual when in the one usually dressed up. It's going on through end of August and then their theme will change to Halloween.

But... keep reading.. The reason I am not giving 5 stars is because of the bartender... he will end of tanking the business because every time I go in there he is not friendly (unless sitting at his bar). Never greats hello unless you walk up to the bar. Also, I am all for being friendly and making conversation but when I get my appetizer every time before my ordered cocktail because I watch him have regular day to day convo with the people for 10-15 mins at the bar and then just moves on to the next person. I have never received a drink in a timely fashion or before even receiving food because either he doesn't pay attention that he has to make drinks for outside of the main bar or he only cares about the people who are directly tipping him. It's disappointing that the servers have to constantly say something just to get a drink at all. They either need a new bartender or he needs a bar back because he doesn't know how to time manage. I paid $60 for a drink I had to wait until almost my food came out and at that point I don't want to drink that with my food. That's for before. I 100% would go back and recommend this place BUT only for the servers and the food. I'd tell someone to skip the bar all together.

Warmly greeted us upon arrival and offered excellent suggestions. Tiffany was courteous, professional and engaging throughout our visit while serving both our table of eight and the customers sitting outside on the patio area while never loosing her smile. Very impressed with the ambiance of both the dining:bar area and inn lobby, a time capsule of a bygone era. Both one back to the 1890's and early 1920's. Highly recommend stopping by for either a drink or lunch/dinner when visiting Mount Dora.

Even on a busy Friday evening, I was able to snag a cozy round table in the back for my friend and me, which was a pleasant surprise. Bonus points for the upstairs bathrooms not requiring a code (unlike the ones downstairs)--a small but appreciated detail! I ordered an espresso martini that was dairy-free (which I love), but it ended up being a bit too sweet and slightly watery for my taste. I only took a few sips before deciding not to finish it--not bad, just not quite for me. Since I was the DD, I didn't bother swapping it out, but it was still the right call. My friend's gin cocktail, on the other hand, was light, mild, and super refreshing--she loved it! Also, shoutout to the bartender for bringing the drinks over to our table--such a nice touch. I'd absolutely come back and give another cocktail a try. The atmosphere & service alone makes it worth a return visit!

The paddlewheel boat on Lake Dora is comfortable, the upper deck has a great view, and the staff made it feel personal without hovering. They even put a "Welcome Kerr Aboard" tag on our charcuterie board, which was a fun surprise. We sat outside with a bottle of wine, watched the water, and didn't have to rush anything. The weather looked stormy, but the cruise still went and the covered deck kept it easy. Nice mix of indoor lounge seating and open air if you want both. Easy to book, friendly crew, and a memorable way to spend an anniversary. We'd do it again.

I would 100% recommend doing the sunset cruise to anyone looking to enjoy their time Tavares on the lake.

Started with the dozen chargrilled oysters which were flavorful and the best part of my meal. I also appreciated the French bread provided with the oysters. I had a pound of the peel and eat shrimp in the spicy garlic sauce served hot. It was a Saturday pricing special and definitely a good deal. The shrimp were not deveined so peeling them took a bit more effort, which is not a dealbreaker for me but something to know if you prefer deveined shrimp. The quality of the shrimp varied - some were large, some small, some were fresh, a few were mushy/overcooked. Served with drawn butter and cocktail sauce, which were great complements. I'd probably do no old bay or sauce at all next time, as I liked the sauce less as I continued eating. All in all, I'd return again for the oysters and try out other menu items!
