Have you ever wondered what German pastry heaven would look like?…read moreWell, look no further, Yalaha Bakery is what you've been dreaming of! My husband and I have been searching for a German bakery since we both have a sweet tooth for baked goodies. He's been telling me about how legendary German goulash tastes since before we got married (it's been a few years now ) and the Yalaha Bakery menu mentioned seasonal soup including goulash so of course we had to stop here. We visited on a rainy Wednesday afternoon around 4:45 pm. This place has modest architecture and a small parking lot, but don't let that fool you since as soon as you open the door, there are 4 glorious levels of tasty treats under a refrigerated glass display and fresh bread in shelves behind the counter. There were about 4 customers in the shop and a few others that came in while we were ordering. Everything looked so delectable, so it was hard to choose from the huge variety! Our bakery order ended up being quite large, so I'm glad my husband brought the cooler with him. We got 1 rhubarb pie (for a gift), 1 rhubarb streusel (another gift), 1 apple streusel, 1 German apple pie, 1 tiramisu, 2 lavender shortbread cookies, 1 eclair, 1 cream horn, 1 Brazilian caramel bar, 4 pretzel rolls, and 4 large pretzels. There might be a few other things as well. The order was about $125 with tip. Excellent customer service by the counter girl, and she was very patient while we were deciding on things. After we packed our pastries in the cooler, we went back to check out the deli section. They had a lot of German deli items to choose from, but what I was really interested in was the goulash. The very kind counter lady (possibly the owner?) took my order, and I couldn't have asked for a heartier, soul-warming soup for about $6. The meat was cooked to soft perfection. The veggies (peppers, tomato, and potato if I recall correctly) melted away while you sipped the soup that tasted like it was made by your favorite extra-skilled German grandma. I was in stew heaven. Of course, I shared a few spoonfuls with my husband, and it was gone in a few minutes. All in all, we discovered that Yalaha Bakery is a hidden gem in Yalaha, FL. If you love bakeries and handmade treats like we do, this is a great place to visit. Prepare your bank account to splurge on pastries, artisan German bread, and remember to stop by the deli! We'll be back again next time we're in the area on one of our road trips.

We come down to Lake County to visit my father in law every few months and know this a "food…read moredesert", so it's always a struggle to find a nice restaurant that meets our standards. We like fresh and fancy. That being said, we were reminded today of the nice champagne Sunday brunches we have had previously at The Mission Inn. But it had been years. It was horrible. This place is so dated and smells musty so that is the first impression. The walls, carpet, tile, etc are so outdated, dirty and worn. The buffet had several stations for food, but the food was not good at all. The omelette station offered veggies only and the guy totally overcooked every omelette we ordered. The other breakfast items were OK, but not great. The hot entree and salad bar area was so bad. The hot food cold and the cold food hot. The server was very nice and the reason for the one star rating. She was accommodating to a few things we needed. At a price of $55 per person, it is a total bust. Scenery out by the lake was nice, but they need to renovate this place and change the buffet options.

I picked out this dockside bar and grill for a place that my dad and I could stop for lunch. I'm…read moreglad we did, it was a great meal and time. We stopped around 11:45am and it just opened not long before, so it was quiet with few people there. The staff was extremely friendly and very helpful. We were seated immediately and had a table by the windows overlooking the lake. What a great spot on a sunny day! My dad ordered the Reuben sandwich, but asked for no sauerkraut, he loves a good Corned Beef sandwich. It was done really well and he loved it. He had the homemade chips as well which complimented the meal perfectly. I had their special, a Mahi strip basket. It came with a generous amount of Mahi Mahi and fries. It was super tasty. If I were coming through the city of Howey in the Hills, FL, again, I'd stop here for sure for another meal. They had a decent selection of apps, entrees and sandwiches/burgers, it would be the same thing. They also have an outdoor patio I'd love to try on a hot spring/summer eve. If you're in the neighborhood, I'd tell you go here and try it out!

Amazing view!!! A great experience at a non-chain restaurant. We enjoyed with daughter, finance',…read morefamily and some of the bridal party for an upcoming wedding at The Pinery. All food orders were served timely, so everyone could eat together. Some enjoyed the bar menu and all enjoyed the food. I had the Fish Fry, which was great fried fish without the heavy, greasy coating. Fish was great. Corn fritters were a good compliment and well cooked. Others with me enjoyed the beef stroganoff, shrimp and grits, shrimp po boy and meatloaf meal. I would recommend improving on the po boy, as the toppings were a bit slim for the bread. My husband and daughter said it was good, but that was my observation (see photo below). No other suggestions for the food, and we all agreed we would go back as this was a great place. Service was excellent and they were very accommodating for a large party. Side note-a menu suggestion if you add items at any time would be adding an amazing fish sandwich.

I seem to be addicted to Tacos, not just any taco and not only tacos from this little roadside…read moreoasis but more of the style of taco - the "street taco" sometimes called antojitos or "little cravings" literally. I've eaten a thousand of these and although all aren't created equal most are constructed in a similar manner and this little wagon does it as good as any. Corn tortillas (freshly prepared ones are always best but most are commercially processed and packaged so unless you an aficionado of tortillas the store bought ones are fine). I chose the steak and chicken (asada and pollo) added raw onion and cilantro, a squeeze of fresh lime and some flavorful hot sauce - these three tacos seemed to evaporate in mere seconds, they are small but they also are very reasonable priced. I'm definitely reevaluating my lunch choices before my next visit here. I think a sampling is in order for my return trip (how did I not order beef cheeks). No matter which ones you choose order enough and don't forget too tip. If you eat these in... One Bite - you've entered a contest. Two Bites - it's been a few days since you've eaten. Three Bites - you skipped breakfast. Four Bites - you feel a little rushed. Five Bites - you put just enough hot sauce on it. The staff here was very friendly and professional, the food was delivered hot and fresh and the presentation was beautiful...
