It was delicious at first, but once the cheese started to harden, it wasn't quite what I had imagined. My recommendation would be to eat it quickly while the cheese is still hot and gooey to get the full experience. That said, the food was still good overall. The service was great--everyone was friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. The ambiance was also really nice, especially being located in Plant Street Market, which adds to the overall charm and experience. Definitely worth a visit, just be ready to enjoy that cheese before it cools down!

We tried the hummus with fresh vegetables, a charcuterie board, and the olive oil flight, and everything was thoughtfully prepared and delicious. The charcuterie board had a good selection of cheeses, meats, olives, nuts, fruit, crackers, and little sweet touches that made it fun to graze through. The olive oil flight was also a really unique experience and a great way to try something a little different. What really made the visit stand out, though, were the owners. They were fantastic, personable, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. They asked about our preferences and gave great wine recommendations based on what we each liked, which made the whole experience feel personal rather than transactional. It's the perfect spot for a relaxed wine date, a catch-up with friends, or anyone who enjoys great wine, small bites, and warm hospitality. We'll definitely be back.

The small group is very fun with casual conversation about cheese and wine and very well set in the shop. Wine pours are generous as are the samples of additional cheeses and a nice discount on any additional purchases. This is a very fun date night spot and reasonable for the quality in both food and experience.

The shop itself is intimate, cozy, and welcoming, and the staff could not have been friendlier. The evening started with a sample pour before we settled into the class, which included four generous wine tastings paired with delicious cheese appetizers. The wine distributor walked us through each selection, and then we had the chance to learn more about the cheese pairings. They can host around 20 people per class, and this session was $40 per person. The class lasted about an hour, and afterward all wine and cheese were 20% off. Overall, it was a really nice experience, and I'd definitely return to try another version of the class.

THIS PLACE IS NOT CLOSED. IT JUST MOVED UPSTAIRS…read more I hope you're ready to read a dissertation, cuz I have a lot to write. lol. This past weekend we got to enjoy a really delicious and fun evening at the East End Market for our friend's birthday. La Femme du Fromage Upstairs is a private dining experience on the second floor of the popular East End Market, just above Domu. Dining here is by reservation only, so make sure to plan ahead. We had a group of 12 people, which was the max capacity this place can hold. This is a personalized dinner and wine pairing curated by the owner of La Femme, Tonda. She and her team took great care of feeding and entertaining us for a little over the 3 hours that we were there. The food was excellently prepared by Chef Dale and our table service was handled by Rob, who made sure our wines and drinks were always filled throughout the evening. Tonda is an expert in wines and cheeses, with over 30 years in the industry, traveling the world to learn the intricacies of both. Every course she brought out, she explained the history of the wine that was paired with it. Every cheese we tried, she explained what animal it was from and how it's prepared. She's such a burst of energy as well. You can really tell she loves what she does. Our first course (which I sadly forgot to take a picture of because I immediately inhaled it all) was a Brie fondue that was infused with champagne, shallots, garlic, and was topped with crab meat. Served with sides of roasted cauliflower, roasted carrots, apple slices, and a tasty crusty bread. (I cant for the life of me, remember what type it was) This dish was paired with a glass of Simonet Blanc de Blancs, a sparkling white wine. Every time I emptied my glass, Rob was nearby to immediately refill it. It was awesome! Our second course was a charcuterie plate of 3 cheeses, fresh blueberries and grapes, and wagyu beef salami. The first cheese presented was a soft spreadable sheep's cheese that was infused with truffle. It was earthy and nutty, and I was blown away by how velvety it was. The second cheese (and my personal favorite) was a coffee infused cow's cheese. I loved it so much that I also purchased a small block of it from Tonda at the end of the evening! The third cheese, if I remember correctly, was a hard goat cheese that was nutty and had a really cool texture when eating. The wagyu beef salami was amazing and paired really well with every cheese. All this was paired with a glass of Mommessin Beaujolais Villages, a fruity red wine. And of course, Rob was always ready to swing by and refill my glass when needed! The third course was a beef tenderloin, served with a side of asparagus and aligot, all topped with a delicious gravy. The beef was super tender, the asparagus still had a nice bite to it, and this was also my first time trying aligot. If you don't know what it is, it's a VERY cheesy mashed potato, and it's AWESOME! lol. This dish was paired with a glass of El Enemigo Malbec, a darker red wine from Mendoza. And yet again, my boy Rob was on deck to keep it coming! (I'm gonna shout out every chance I get) Finally for dessert, we had little vanilla and lemon shortcakes, topped with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. The cakes were moist and buttery and the strawberries were bright and lightly tart. The dessert was paired with a glass of Vietti Moscato d'Asti, a sweet sparkling white wine. This sweet wine was PERFECT for the sweet spongey cake. It was an absolutely delicious pairing. (And you already know Rob was getting the refill in) For anyone crazy enough to actually read all this. I hope you have the chance to go out and enjoy this place sometime. Tonda has a really special little spot here, and it deserves all the praise it gets. Chef Dale is a master of his craft, the food was amazing. And Rob is a damn good server who made sure we were always well taken care of. We will definitely be back soon, Tonda. Thank you for an awesome evening!

The portions are definitely generous, especially for a small, so I do think the value is there if you enjoy their style of mac. The mac itself was very cheesy, and I liked the crispy breadcrumb topping, but overall it just wasn't for me. The noodles were very thick and not hollow, so they didn't really have that classic mac & cheese texture I was expecting. I think offering a few different noodle options would be a great improvement so customers can pick what they prefer. The chicken was also pretty bland and could use more seasoning. Service-wise, the guy who helped me was nice and friendly. Since it's located in a food hall, the ambience is casual and shared rather than a traditional sit-down restaurant, which makes it convenient if you're with a group. Overall, I appreciate the generous portions and cheesy sauce, but the noodle texture and bland chicken made it something I probably wouldn't order again.

Mac'd Out - Winter Garden, FL "Mac & cheese elevated to an…read moreart form -- pure comfort in every bite" If you're at Plant Street Market and craving serious comfort food, Mac'd Out is the place to be. This spot nails gourmet mac & cheese with a creamy, cheesy base that's perfectly cooked and topped with endless creative options. Two of my favorites? The Buffalo Mac -- with just the right spicy kick to wake up your taste buds -- and the Bacon Mac, loaded with crispy bacon bits that add a smoky, savory crunch. Whether you build your own masterpiece or dive into one of their signature macs, the flavor is always bold, satisfying, and crave-worthy. The portions are generous, the service is fast, and it's the perfect match for a cold pint from Crooked Can next door. I always swing by here with family and friends when we're at the market. It's casual, quick, and downright delicious -- hands down one of the best mac & cheese spots in Central Florida.

Before I even got my food, I had a great interaction with Mercedes at the counter. She was genuinely friendly, easy to talk to, and didn't rush the moment, which set a really positive tone right away. I ordered a cheesesteak with everything on it, and when it came out, it was clear they don't cut corners here. The sandwich was fully loaded from one end to the other, with finely chopped steak that was juicy and well seasoned. The cheese was melted throughout instead of just sitting on top, so every bite had that same balanced flavor. Even with all the toppings, nothing felt overwhelming, and the bread held everything together without falling apart. It also came with fries, which were hot and crispy, and I paired everything with a peach Crush. That combination worked really well, especially with how rich the cheesesteak was. Between the quality of the food and the customer service, this is an easy recommendation. If you are craving a cheesesteak and want something that actually feels worth it, this spot is a solid choice. The ambience was just simple. It gave a mom and pop shop vibe, I love it.
