We moved closer to Mount Dora in 2020 and we eat at Fifth Avenue Streatery at least twice a week now.

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.

Isn't it like $3 with refills? Not like I bought my own eggs. Cool. Left and went to waffle house. Prob wont be back. So, they lost $30-$40 in sales because of a $3 coffee? Sound business decision.

The ambience is great and similar to a country club dining room, in my opinion. Guests were dressed all sorts of ways, but we chose a bit on the nicer side. Since we were there for Mount Dora restaurant week, we were offered a $50 per person, 3 course meal. This included a Caesar salad, choice of chicken or pork, and chocolate cake. We chose the pork as our meal. Everything was divine and full of flavor. One of the best meals we've had in a while. The service was good and everything came out rather quickly.

And sandwich had a unique shape to it which was a nice touch. It was crispy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. I got a side of fries which were well seasoned.

Even though the weather was hot out and Labor Day weekend, this was one of the few open venues in the quaint little town. But it made up for the lack of open restaurants. Mount Dora has public parking lots and street parking. All the shops are within walking distance and offer a wide variety of things to do, including a boat tour. It's an artists town so if you love art, you'll find plenty of inspiration! I really enjoyed Pisces Rising because they had an amazing musician while we were there. It added to the beautiful backdrop of the lake. They have $5 happy hour for mojitos and margaritas but I opted for one of the specialty butterfly pea cocktails. My friend and I got the crab cakes and sashimi tuna appetizer since we planned on trying out other places. It was one of the best appetizers and drinks. The bartender was awesome! She made amazing drinks and service was great even though she was in charge of all the customers at the bar. In addition to helping the inside staff. I'd definitely come back to chill with friends.
