I can't say enough about the delicious food and impeccable service we experienced from Pisces Rising Catering. Mary and her team went above and beyond to make our small wedding a night of perfection. The chef created meals that encouraged seconds and the staff was friendly and professional. We couldn't be more pleased with their catering. Thank you, Pisces Rising for an evening we will always remember! read more

Another beautiful night and excellent meal at Pisces Rising, our favorite place to dine overlooking Lake Dora. Server Cheyenne Koepke and traffic manager Shane (The Post Man) Herron made sure we didn't starve on their watch. read more

We were a party of two -got to the Resturant at 1:50pm for lunch. The hostess promptly and with a nasty attitude told us that lunch closes at 3pm and we could not be seated. The place was not busy and there were pleanty of open table. Nit a great way to run an establishment. read more

We had a fairly large party for brunch at Pisces Rising a couple of weeks ago. Keeping the difficulty of catering to a large party in mind, I have to say I was still pretty disappointed by the food. I ordered the shrimp and grits, which I really didn't enjoy at all. The grits were very, very watery for one. As for the shrimp, they were too big to the point of being tough and having no flavor, plus they still had the tails on. Had the tails been left on for presentation purposes, that would have been one thing. But as you can see from the photo, the presentation leaves a lot to be desired. read more

This restaurant had a great selection of menu items. Our party of four enjoyed each entree.

Well this is my first trip to Mount Dora and what a beautiful area. We came for dinner and we found Pisces Rising on here(Yelp). The pics of the food looked awesome and it got a high star rating. We passed on a few other location because of what we saw. Well it's a restaurant on the water and it was busy and impressive to look at. We sat at the bar and met Mark the bartender who was nice. We asked a few questions about some Items in the menu and I went for the porkchop which said was a high selling item on the menu. This thick cut chop arrived and it was so tough and hard to cut let alone chew. My friend ordered in New York strip which he said a was another great choice and to our suprise it was also very inedible. He then asked if I wanted to have it replaced and I decided to change my order to the homemade mushroom reviloli and my friend got his steak replaced. Well, my ravioli was like chewing on bubble gum. So chewy and gummie and my friends steak was again not good. They did apologize and and I was not charged for my meal but my friend was. Very sad to say the least. We came back to Mount Dora and talked to some folks who live in the area and was told that The Pisces Rising past its hay day years ago. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone. Stand clear and buyer beware if you do go. read more

Great place, especially when there aren't too many tourists. :-). The best view in Mount Dora.

Great happy hour spot, good drinks and a fun atmosphere! When in the area and barhopping(my hobby) this is a must visit!

We had a lovely lunch at Pisces Rising after strolling the streets of Mt. Dora during the arts festival! We sat outside right next to the live music, which was outstanding - we were singing along the whole time during our meal! Our server was fabulous and had great suggestions for us. They have a great cocktail and craft beer list! I had my favorite Nitro Hot Chocolate stout - nice and hearty on a cool afternoon! For appetizers, we started with conch fritters. My party thought they were a bit too crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, but I thought they were delicious. For my entree, I had the mushroom ravioli, served with a mushroom cream sauce. All you mushroom lovers out there, this is the dish for you!! I wish I could eat it every day of my life! **hint hint** you also get a free dessert when you check in on Yelp, so we had beignets to top off our delicious meal. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed there meals and the atmosphere of Pisces Rising. I cannot wait to return! read more

We coming to this restaurant from 2013 till Corona 2020 and have had good Party, good life music and good food. now we came last week again and already get even many free tables outside no place so we eat on the bar. The music was so lala, but bat tender good. Yesterday I wanted to reserve table outside , but was not possible, they say first in first get. We arrive 6:30pm and 6 free tables available. But we did not got any table. They put us on a waiting list and say "If you do not like ... move out" very rude and NO CUSTOMER SERVICE. I was with 2 nice ladies and they wanted to stay. They promised after 30 min we get a table and we drink at the bar. The life music was lausy . After 1 hours we got a table and after 2 hours we go our food. We were so hungry that we eaten all the crap we got. We paid 250USD for 2 hours bad time. My laydies said " NOT WORTH OF MONEY"!!! We will never come back for dinner in this place. May be sip a wine at the bar and enjoy the sunset and then move out ! The waiter are good but the management definitely has to be changed if they want to treat a customer well. I have 5 restaurants in SIngapore. I f I would treat my customer like they treat me yesterday I could close my restaurants. NOBODY accept such a rude , arrogant service !

This restaurant is hard for me to review. I was a HUGE fan of the original owners. They had moved from the Keys to Mount Dora. The service was great, the food was great, the bar was great. but after a number of years, it became meh! I was told they had sold. Now it is better again, but not as good as it was. They have one of the best patios in Mount Dora with killer views, which is good. Eat al fresco if you can, it helps the overall experience. You won't have a bad meal here, just not a very inspiring one either. read more

Overall a good restaurant but nothing special or out of the ordinary. Food was good, but nothing special. Service a little slow, but they were very busy which may have caused that. Probably a 3.5 but I would come back read more

This was our first real taste of Mount Dora. We had to wait about 30 minutes to get seated, but once we were seated, we were able to get a nice table in the outdoor seating area with a great view of the lake, about 200 yards below. Drinks were a little slow getting to us, but were good once we got them. And everyone in our party of four enjoyed their lunch. Our waiter was friendly, though it seemed like everything was kinda slow. Worth it for sure if you have a leisurely afternoon, and can just relax and soak up the sunshine. read more

It's my birthday and I wanted to treat myself I had the crab stuffed salmon, mashed potatoes and asparagus my husband has his usual hamburger with fries our server, Kazley was superb friendly sense of humor and a pro at making bananas foster which because it was my birthday was free!!

First time here. I'm not sure what category of restaurants I would.put Pisces Rises. Probably, the closes would be a gastro pub. It is a great place to bring a date... if you don't care much about the dent it will leave in your wallet. The ambiance is superb. The place is giant, the patio overlooking the lake is splendid. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was prompt and courteous. The food on the other hand is where it falls short. If the prices were more reasonable perhaps I would add a star. We also encountered a couples of small issues with our meals. Which, after a somewhat awkward exchange with the manager, made it right. I ordered one of the two burgers on the menu with calamari appetizer. The calamari was tender and flavorful. My burger was tasty but came with the wrong bun -- sesame bun instead of brioche. I also got frozen battered fries. Not something you would expect for the price and the bragging rights to "everything is fresh and made from scratch". After informing and inquiring about my order the manager promptly came to our table and tried to explained to use that they can't make fresh fries for various logistical reasons. She than offered the fresh kettle cooked chips instead o.0 The manager made it right. We were even brought a sample of an appetizer she taught we might enjoy. We appreciated the gesture for sure. For dessert we got the two fruit tarts. They were delicious! Overall, i think we enjoyed ourselves enough that we would comeback, probably after our wallet had time to recuperate from the plunder. I would stay away from the fries and order the fresh kettle cooked chip 0.o read more

No complaints. 2 of our party of 6 asked for "changes" from the menu. No problem! 6 out of 6 loved everything including the fabulous service. Worth the wait! read more

Delicious charcuterie and drinks. We sat outside and had an awesome bartender. The male bartender with the black mask with white teeth was kind of a jerk. He would make our drinks and then put them out of reach so we had to ask someone to hand them to us read more

We were not in town for antique show and went here for drinks and appetizers. Service and music was was great! We ordered drinks , charcuterie , Cuban spring rolls, and octopus appetizer. Charcuterie was very good but I wish it included a hard cheese as well as the soft. Meats on the plate were all good and abundant. I could have done without the sesame butter. The octopus was a little hard to chew but the flavor was good. The Cuban spring rolls were amazing! I will return for dinner next time. read more

The hostess was very rude and unprofessional. She needs to be retrained. This happened on Saturday 12 March

The food was incredible. The service was slow. It took exactly one hour from ordering our lunch, to receiving our food. That would have actually been enjoyable because the location is stellar and the patio is great. However, the music was so extremely eardrum breaking, head exploding loud that we could not even hear each other with direct mouth to ear yelling. We asked the server if they could get it turned down even a bit. She said "no, I wish!" It can't be good for the servers long term. The couple that were singing had incredible voices, but that was lost in the volume. read more

Great place for brunch! We took a day trip to Mt Dora with every intention to have brunch here and it did not disappoint!! Bottomless mimosas and sangria..I was down for that and both were quite good!! We had Leah as our server and she was delightful! Very knowledgeable and very nice. We sat outside on the patio looking out over the lake,it was quite hot outside,but a beautiful breeze and their umbrellas helped!! Mussels and clams were ordered by our friends who joined use along with calamari..I don't eat either,but they absolutely loved it. They also ordered the eggs Benedict special,it was steak with habanero hollandaise sauce. He ate every bite! My husband and I shared the spicy chicken sandwich,it was good, I like it spicy and would have preferred it spicier,but I suppose it is better to add to it. Very fresh and tender chicken! Plan to go here when in Mt Dora,spend the day!! read more

Pisces Rising - Enjoying the flower from my meal haha - Seafood Near Me - Mount Dora, Florida

We've never been this establishment before, on 01//18/20 around 6 pm , I ordered the NY steak and my wife ordered the aged prime rib, I'll cut through the chase and say outback has better quality in both the NY strip and the prime rib Very disappointed, we spent 103.00 $ for 2 people and I was still hungry when I left. We asked the waitress about having some bread or perhaps a salad before the main course comes out. Her response was a stair at me until I said oh it's not included I'm guessing, and she said it's a charge for the bread and I Don't need a salad because the steak comes with side items , and never asked me if I would like to buy the bread. And Last the waitress brought everything out at once. Won't be going back !! read more

Pretty disappointing experience. Host was aloof and somewhat rude, bartender was uncaring and slow to wait on us so we decided to leave. Left without ordering as the menu was quite lacking. read more

Love this place, food is very good and can't beat happy hour drinks. And the outdoor bar is a plus.

Very Disappointing. We chose this restaurant over The Goblin for our 35th Anniversary dinner. Drink order. First brand Belvedere don't carry. Ordered absolute martini. Waiter after giving my wife her wine he came back 5 min later and said they were out. Then ended up 10 min later with Kettle one. Ordered oysters that were on the menu. Sorry we are out we were told. Ordered whole red snapper. We were told we are out. This was 6:30 on a Sunday eve. No reason 1:30 hours after opening they should be telling customers they are out. We chose this restaurant because of its menu and many things were sold out. But here is the most appalling thing about our experience. Bartender made my second martini and clawed it with all 5 fingers on the rim. Then preceded to allow a patron to sample it by sticking a straw in my drink and putting her finger over the end and feeding into her mouth. Both grimaced the taste. This place disappointed big time and shouldn't be on any one's short list. Learn how to order manager. Also call your reservation list and tell us you are out of many item menu items. Or explain why it takes :45 for the 3rd choice we make for entrees. read more

Delicious food, tremendous portions, with extraordinary service and beautiful and interesting decor! We loved it and will be back!

Tonight my husband and I went to Pisces Rising for dinner. We have been away from the area for eight years but this evening's dining experience was every bit as wonderful as we remember. The food was delicious and the ambience was perfect. There were so many tasty choices on the menu that we opted to do a sampling of several of the appetizers instead of one single entrée. We were not disappointed! Our server, Megan, was the icing on the cake. Her friendly personality and wonderful sense of humor along with her perfect professionalism made our experience there tonight even more special. Even the people at other tables stopped Megan to tell her how wonderful she was. We will definitely be regulars. read more

Disappointing. Looked like it would be a nice place. First impression, I was surprised how dated it was on the inside. The water taste terrible. Took to long for the food to come. We ordered the $17 burgers and the bun was awful. It taste cheap and kept falling apart. They give you your condiments in packets so I had to literally rip my burger apart to add the sauces. What a complete mess and reminds me of a fast food not high quality. The side salad was good so wish I had got a salad instead. read more
