    Still five stars! We love this place. Today we stopped in for lunch with our doggy of course so we sat n the beautiful patio. Our server Victoria C was so nice - we enjoyed chatting with her. We started with the steak bites - a meal in itself cooked perfectly med rare. Tom had the Monte Cristo which he loved. I had a half pound of peel and eat shrimp which was a very generous portion. I had my fill and then had eight to take home. I don't know what was in the drawn butter but it was delicious and clung to the shrimp perfectly. More than butter I suspect. Great meal, enhanced by a couple of beers. Tab $70 all-in. Yes we will return.

    Excellent food as always. The food came out fast also. Only issue was that, because they seemed to not be very busy, our server would get distracted doing side work. It happens - he had a great personality and otherwise was a very good server. I never saw a manager and I usually feel it is the manager who needs to keep an eye on the overall operation. I love the view from the restaurant and the relaxed, fun atmosphere.

    Rueben sandwich with fries - a lunch great!

    Once again the food was superb - and service by Mandy was great (prompt and personal) ! The views are great and yes, I need to come for the well known famous sunsets.

    Lake Eustis Waterfront Grille My Sunday Golfers group go to different restaurants every Sunday for lunch after golf. On July 20, we all went to Lake Eustis Waterfront Grille. There were 12 of us and this is the 2nd time we've eaten at this establishment. Both times we were seated in their large room upstairs which overlooked Lake Eustis. A beautiful view. There was also a bar upstairs as well as downstairs and outside in the parking lot. The first time we ate at this establishment, my group though the food was fantastic, service was impeccable, and the overall experience was fantastic. So I decided to give it a try again. I'm the one that normally pick the restaurant. Our server this time was Meagan. Meagan greeted all of us with a smile and was very pleasant. For having to serve our group plus other groups up there, Meagan did not miss a beat. She always checked on us to make sure everyone had a drink and that no one needed anything. She made sure we were happy with our food. No one in my group felt that anything took too long for our orders. Bravo Meagan, because of you, and because of the service you provide, the different food options and the beautiful view of the lake from the restaurant, I will be bringing my group back again. I think I would like to try every dish listed in the menu. Not all at once of course but a great execuse to keep coming back. When I pick a restaurant, service and the food are the two main factors I look at if I'm going to bring my group there. We're all from The Villages and I've selected restaurants as far as Orlando for my group because I also want us to try different ethnic food. I normally go to the restaurant first with my spouse and I observe everything including service, location, ambiance and items in the menu. Normally I've already done my homework using yelp, looking at reviews, checking their website and looking at the menu. I like a menu that has a variety of food options. I want to hear my group say, "there is too much to choose from. I can't decide what pick." That way I know the restaurant has something for everyone. Lake Eustis Waterfront Grille has a variety of food selection and a good cocktail selection. To management, what a wonderful place to go to. The service your servers provide is amazing. This is the third time I have eaten at Lake Eustis Waterfront Grille. I have also been there with my spouse and in-laws. For those that have never eaten at this restaurant, I highly recommend it. You will not regret it. Try the Lavender Lemon Drop Martini or the Crazy Mary.

    Food is fantastic, service is always great, and you can't beat the amazing waterfront view! The tiki bar outside is the best spot. They have Bingo on certain days too which is always fun! Make sure to try a seasonal drink, too!

    Great on-the-water restaurant with a lively crowd, great service, and good food. Special shout-out to the best fried alligator I've eaten in all of central FL.

    Fried shrimp lunch

    one year later. minus a star. food was not served hot. had the shrimp basket. breading on the shrimp was so thin it fell off when picked up to eat. great views and service but it comes down to the food. average at best.

    Monte Cristo with onion rings.

    Hubby and I found this place on the ma-. Its was packed and they have 3 different earring sites. Inside main building, outside on the dock and the tiki bar playing live music on the weekend. They were busy and the waiter was upfront about it and asked us to place the food early if we were on a time crunch. We sat on the patio by the main building you can enjoy the music without it being too loud. Pets were welcome. Very old Florida you can arrive on boat from the st. John river. Food and drinks were good and worth the price.

    Great service. Very friendly young man was our waiter. He suggested items for us and he was right. The fried shrimp baskets were excellent. Sitting next to the water eating and listening to good acoustic rock was perfect.

    Large order of Fried Green Beans, enough to share

    We had a party of 12; service wasn't the fastest, but they had a decent sized crowd on a beautiful sunny day. Our waitress had our party, plus another one of 10 or so and maybe other tables ... so she was quite busy. Food was large portions and priced accordingly. After the large order of Green Beans, I wasn't hungry for my Grouper Sammie, so it came home with me. This was my 3rd time here and Id come back again. ​

    I came here with my mom looking for a restaurant to eat as most diners were closed we found this on the map. The dining area is kept very sanitary and there's a nice ambience. We were greeted when entered and allowed to switch tables. Steven was our server, very friendly, understanding, and quick when it came to his tables. The food however, did not match the same level the atmosphere promised. First off the drinks, my mother ordered a lemonade and found it disgusting. She found it tasted like frozen lemonade the ones you find at stores. Now for the actual food, My mom ordered a strawberry salad with steak bites, hers was fine very pleased however I ordered the penne Alfredo. The menu says PENNE Alfredo. What they did was take the macaroni from the kids Mac and cheese option tossed it in with the chicken and called it a day. It was terrible, by far the worst pasta I've had at any place I've gone to. If you can't afford penne for your establishment abolish it off the menu rather than deceiving your customers. Manager gave a 50% discount for compensation I appreciate the staff entirely for how they treat their customers wish this was better. Extremely disappointed.

    Had a nice first time dining here. Food was pretty good. Temperature was hot. The flavors were pretty decent. Customer service was approachable and always on time with everything. The atmosphere is definitely fun and inviting like to come back and try more fish entrees and especially those swamp fries!

The Southern burger was great, but I tossed off the raw onions as I absolutely hate them, and added the lovely pickled onions from my wife's salad, which gave the perfect amount of flavor and color. Don't you agree? Give me a LIKE if you do !!! The crepe was next level. Delicate crepe, very soft ripe bananas, sauce was not disgustingly sugary, and the vanilla ice cream was smooth and soft, not icy and sweet. Dunno what brand they use, or if they churn the cream fresh in-house, but it made my day.

    Driving back to Georgia after a visit to the mouse and wanting to limit our exposure to the I-4…read moretraffic, we drove through the charming town of Mount Dora. There are lots of delightful restaurants there (according to yelpers) but many were located downtown and parking was hard to find so we decided to go to Fifth Avenue Streatery since we had driven by and there was lots of parking. All of which the tables are outside on a charming patio with lots of interesting decor. It was 11:30 so the day was pleasant and sitting outside was fine. Not sure how I would feel about that in August. Our waitress was Haley (guessing at the spelling) and she was bubbly and very attentive. The menu wasn't overwhelming and I always think that's a good sign that most of the food is being prepared fresh and not pulled from a freezer. My mom ordered the fish sandwich with tomato and cucumber salad. After ordering the Italian Haley said they were out of beef until the owner arrived so I went for the day's special which was a seafood basket: two pieces of fried fish, four huge shrimp and clam strips. Clam strips are not my favorite but these were very crisp and tasty. It was served with fries and cold slaw. We both agreed the food was very good. I asked for some cocktail sauce and after a few minutes she came back with saying she had to make some. It was fantastic, very horseradish forward which I loved. I am glad we couldn't locate our first two choices since we got to eat at this funky little place and have the best server in all of Mt. Dora.

The bartender was extremely nice and did a great job and the place was clean and kept up. The only reason I'm leaving 4 stars is because of our treatment by one of the locals when we walked in. We saw on Facebook that they do bingo on certain nights, so we were excited to check it out. As soon as we stepped in the door, a white haired lady asked us if we were here for bingo. We said yes and then she asked if we had reservations. No ma'am, we didn't realize we needed reservations for bar bingo when there was plenty of seating available as far as we could see. She then proceeded to harass us, telling us we couldn't sit at any of the tables or even at the bar! Nothing was marked as reserved. She then told us to go ask the bingo lady where we're allowed to sit. This all seemed so easily avoidable if they had "reserved" signs or even state on their Facebook page ad that reservations are needed. When we asked the bingo lady, she told us to sit at the bar. Then the initial white haired lady continued to harass us by asking us if we're sure we're sitting in the right place because those seats are usually reserved for the locals. WOW, she was A LOT and we were so overwhelmed before we could even put in a food/drink order! We almost just walked out due to feeling so uncomfortable and unwanted by the locals in there. But I'm glad we did stay because the food was good. I'm not sure we'll ever be back for bingo, though.
