We sat at the bar and Jessica was our bartender/server. Her service was awesome plus a great sense of humor! The food and her service was great! However, there was another bartender/server. He barely spoke to us and rarely made eye contact. He did spend an inordinate amount of time on his cell phone, leaning against the wall. Jessica seems to understand customer service but the phone dude needs to get onboard. We'll try again and see how it goes.

This place was absolutely beautiful. I attended an event during their bottomless brunch and the…read morespace alone had me in awe. The ambiance was inviting, stylish, and felt like the perfect setting for a weekend experience with friends. The food overall was good. The shrimp and grits were definitely the highlight for me full of flavor and well done. The steak, however, wasn't my favorite and didn't quite hit the mark. The fruit bowl was exactly that fruit in a bowl nothing special but fresh. The banana pudding was delicious and a sweet way to end the meal. The service was a bit inconsistent, which I believe was due to the waitress being very busy. There were a few moments where we waited longer than expected for menus, straws, or even water. While noticeable, it didn't completely take away from the experience and felt more like a staffing issue than a lack of care. Overall, I would absolutely return for brunch with friends. The atmosphere alone makes it worth another visit, and with the right company, it's a great spot to enjoy a relaxed and beautiful brunch experience.

We visited The Table in DeLand with a group of ten and had an overall good experience, with a few…read moremixed moments. For appetizers, we tried the coconut shrimp, Table tots, spinach dip, and charcuterie. Everything was fantastic except the shrimp, which were a bit overcooked. The rest of the starters were flavorful and well prepared. Most of our group ordered the NY strip since they were out of the filet, while others chose the meatloaf, mushroom pasta, and a few other dishes. Portions were generous and the food was tasty. While the strip wasn't the best I've had, it was cooked perfectly. Dessert was a bit hit or miss. We tried all the pies -- most were decent and nicely presented, though nothing stood out. The salted caramel cheesecake had a grainy texture rather than being smooth. Service was friendly, but a little rushed. Courses came out too quickly, making it hard to enjoy each one before the next arrived. The table became crowded with plates, and the pace felt chaotic at times. The server was kind and seemed possibly overwhelmed. Overall, a good meal with solid food, but pacing and a few execution details could use some attention.

As a DeLand local who's always on the lookout for great spots to grab a bite and a drink, Airport…read moreRestaurant & Gin Mill (1120 Airport Terminal Dr, right on the DeLand Municipal Airport) is one of my absolute go-to places--I've been coming here for years, and it never fails to deliver. This spot earns a solid 5 stars every time for its delicious food, killer burgers, strong drinks, and that unbeatable airport vibe. What really stands out is their seasoned grill--it's known for cranking out some of the most flavorful, perfectly cooked food around. Everything comes off that grill hot, juicy, and packed with taste, whether it's steaks on special nights, wings, sandwiches, or their legendary burgers. Speaking of which, their burgers are amazing--voted #1 best burger in town year after year by locals and visitors for good reason. Half-pound Angus patties charred just right, seasoned perfectly, juicy and never dry, with all the classic fixings or creative twists. I always go for the classic cheeseburger or one of their specials, and it's consistently one of the best I've had anywhere in Volusia County. No heat-lamp nonsense here--everything's made to order, fresh, and hits the spot every single time. The drinks are just as impressive. Full liquor bar with a great selection of cocktails, ice-cold beers, and whatever you're in the mood for--strong pours, creative mixes, and friendly bartenders who know how to make you feel right at home. Whether you're sipping on a cold one while watching planes take off or enjoying a cocktail during live music nights, the drinks keep the good times going. The atmosphere is pure fun: outdoor party deck perfect for watching skydivers during the day or bands in the evenings, indoor dining with TVs for sports, and that unique airport energy where you can plane-spot while you eat. It's casual, welcoming, family-friendly (kids menu available), and the service is always solid--servers are pleasant, quick, and make sure you're taken care of. If you're in DeLand and craving delicious grilled food, an epic burger, or a great drink with a view, head to Airport Restaurant & Gin Mill. It's more than just a restaurant--it's a local favorite with that special something extra. Highly recommend--you'll see why it's a staple around here! 1computeroutlet , 1websitenow

My wife and I were meeting her brother and sister-in-law for lunch and they suggested this place as…read morerecommended by their son who works at the DeLand airport. The place had cool vibes, albeit a bit dingy, as you're basically hugging the flight line while you dine. There were five of us for lunch. We ordered a Crispy Chicken Salad ($14.56), Tommy's Chicken Walnut Salad ($14.56), 2 Bonanza Burgers with fries ($18.72 + $3.12), and a Black Hawk Burger with fries ($18.72 + $3.12). Drinks were 2 iced teas and a Diet Coke ($3.12 each). My wife thought her chicken salad had a good flavor, moist and tender chicken. However, she thought the croissant wasn't light and flaky. My Black Hawk burger had good enough flavor BUT the bun was falling apart and wasn't even warmed up. In the end, I had to finish eating it with a fork and knife. Decent service and ambient but value was lacking. It's probably a "one and done" place for us. Lunch for 5 with tip came out to just over $130.

I came here to celebrate my friend's birthday and we decided to hang out in the cocktail/bar area. The ambiance was really nice. Cozy, relaxed, and exactly the kind of vibe we were looking for to catch up, laugh, and celebrate. I ordered an Old Fashioned. It was decent. Not the best I've ever had, but it definitely did the job while we enjoyed the night. For food, I had the Caesar salad and it was actually really good. The chicken was juicy with a nice crisp to it, which made the whole dish come together perfectly. Overall, it was a great spot for a casual night out with friends. Good vibes, good food, and a comfortable atmosphere to just enjoy the moment. I'd definitely come back.

I absolutely adored my stay here. There's nothing more I…read morelove than a boutique hotel. I had the almost amazing stay. The Artisan is in a prime location. Within walking distance to restaurants and shops. The staff was so nice and personable. I felt welcomed. The Artisan is super charming. Very clean. I stayed in the junior suite which is the equivalent of a small apartment. Came with a workspace and a living room. The room was inviting. Gave the vibe of a farmhouse bed and breakfast. Is that even a thing? Tons of natural sunlight. The sofa was plush. The hardwood was the original flooring. Oozed home. The bed was extremely comfortable. I wasn't able to get near it without wanting to take a nap. The bathroom was spacious. Like if you want to feel like you're at a getaway in the countryside this is it. I thoroughly enjoyed just lounging in my room. There was 1 con though, the shower curtain had mold at the bottom. They have daily turndown service. Which is a PLUS because this is not something a lot of hotels, especially chains do anymore. There is a restaurant downstairs. But you won't be burdened by them. I read reviews about the rooms smelling of food but that was not my experience. But the food was terrific. There is also a bar downstairs so you wont even have to the premises for much. There is parking attached to the hotel, they will give you a pass to park for the duration of your stay.
