Walked by and had to drop in. Recently ran out of my fancy balsamic vinegars. They had some new…read moreflavors! Umeboshi and pink guava were new to the store; I tried flavors that might not be new, but are new to me. The store associate helped us find items and explain things to us. I left with the pineapple balsamic and the cranberry pear balsamic. Others I liked were the champagne vinegar and the mango balsamic and the grapefruit balsamic. I didn't like the key lime. The lemongrass mint was interesting, but very strong on the mint. Overall it was fun to see what they have and try new ones. I still left with only my favorites. I still have plenty of olive oil so I didn't buy any of those, but I did try the spicy Calabrian pesto oil. Oh- they have ice cream samples if you wanna try the balsamic on ice cream!

Having been introduced to infused olive oils and flavored balsamic vinegars as simple salad…read moredressing, my wife discovered Mount Dora Olive Oil Company (OOC) through word of mouth. Although Mount Dora can be a fun destination on its own, we spent a good amount of time in this store. Sampling is permitted and is necessary if taste matters to your palate. Another key to success is using the laminated pairing card that OOC provides. Once we found an olive oil we were particular towards, we used the chart to narrow down the balsamic vinegars. The balsamic vinegars on their own were quite tasty! However, we had to stick to our original goal and figure out the pairing. We eventually chose the Lime olive oil and Blackberry Ginger balsamic and the Garlic Olive oil and Neapolitan Herb balsamic. We also purchased the silicone pour caps that are reusable and easily cleaned in the dishwasher (we were told). The employees were very helpful in their assistance and recommendations and suggestions. We found out from them that the infused oils are imported from Chile and balsamic vinegars are imported from Italy. If enough is purchased during a trip and you're a part of their rewards program, you can get free stuff. On this visit, we crossed a threshold and received a free small bottle of balsamic vinegar, of our choice from the selection available for this reward. Reviews at home since implementing the simplifies salad dressing options have been very positive. One taster said, "mind blown." Our mission has been accomplished. If you ever have some time in Mount Dora, definitely stop in here and give your taste buds something different.

First, It didn't seem like the food was fresh, the fries tasted stale, the spinach pie was a huge blob and the presentation was awkward. The spinach pie was nearly the size of the plate and was nearly flat as a pancake. I was so confused why they even bothered placing it on a bed of lettuce. I ended up with wilted lettuce at the end. My biggest complaint is they need to pay attention to their cleanliness. I had something floating in my glass, there was a large cobweb hanging from the main light fixture, and when my food was brought out, the tray was covered in crumbs. At least wipe it down after clearing a table.

My wife and I decided to try this place. Overall, in my opinion the food was ok. My wife ordered…read morechicken primavera with a salad. I ordered the minestrone and clams-linguini with red wine sauce. Her salad came out and the greens were fresh, but the salad was drowned in dressing. The pasta and chicken were over cooked. The portion was huge, but I think for the price it missed the mark. We did get some bread and it was lacking flavor aka love. My soup came out and the broth was flavorful, carrots tender and everything else was over cooked, especially the pasta. It tasted like the soup and pasta were cooking for hours causing the pasta to be soggy. As a chef, there are several techniques that could have been used to improve the soup texture. The broth was the best part of the soup. My main dish came out and it missed several profiles such as flavor, texture, and freshness. I could tell the clams were canned and the pasta was boxed. Pasta was a bit over cooked, but not as bad as the soup. The portion was huge and presentation was awesome. Overall, the ambiance was awesome. Live music was playing. Staff were friendly. Place was clean. Not sure the price justified the overall dining experience for me. They say you eat with your eyes, nose, and mouth. It definitely looked tasty,

Beirut Bites serves baklava and tucked around the corner is Beirut Sweet Bites, offering many delicious looking treats.

My wife and I came back to Vincent's for the first time in 19 years to celebrate our anniversary,…read moreand honestly--it was perfect. We lived in the area back in 2005-2007 and Vincent's was one of those places that just stuck with us. You always wonder if places you loved years ago will still hold up... especially these days. Thankfully, Vincent's absolutely does. The food is still wonderful--rich, flavorful, and comforting in that nostalgic way that reminds you why you fell in love with it in the first place. Nothing felt watered down or "modernized" for the wrong reasons. It felt familiar, intentional, and genuinely cared for. Change isn't always progress. Sometimes staying loyal to who you are is the real win--and Vincent's has clearly done that. We left happy, full, and grateful that this place is still exactly what we remembered. Five stars, without hesitation.

Unfortunately, this visit left us a bit disappointed. We later noticed that a 20% gratuity had already been added to each of our tabs, which was not clearly disclosed. As a result, we unknowingly left our usual 20% tip on top of that. We absolutely respect and support fair compensation for servers, but automatic gratuity should be clearly communicated upfront. When we casually mentioned it--without asking for anything to be removed--the response we received felt dismissive. More concerning, our waitress (Becca) then appeared to discuss the situation with another table in a way that felt unprofessional. We still appreciate the quality of the food and have enjoyed many visits here, but transparency and professionalism matter. Since we rotate local restaurants for our weekly outings, experiences like this do influence where we choose to return.
