What diners say — our read

The crowd and the inspector reached the same conclusion. Where front-of-house comes up, the rating that follows averages 5.0, so it reads as a strength.

The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (18 of 24). No one in this corpus comments on value for money at all. Of the 24 rated reviews, 19 sit at four stars or better and 3 at two or below. Dates on these reviews range from Jan 2024 to Jun 2026.

The health record runs ahead of the reviews. The last DBPR inspection returned an A (100/100) and no violations cited. The visit behind that grade was April 28, 2026. Its inspection trajectory is upward over the records we hold. That puts it ahead of 100% of graded kitchens in Seminole County. Nothing was written up at that inspection at all.

With both signals pointing the same way, there is little to argue about on this listing. The underlying reviews are reproduced in full underneath.

    Chef Michael and his team are the best. They have catered multiple events for me and they make the event flawless. We tell Chef Michael what the theme is and he plans the entire menu and we don’t have to worry about a thing. From set up to clean up, we are able to enjoy our friends and guests.

    This is a little corner Café. Rather a tourist trap in my opinion it took forever for them to take our order. I had a hamburger which was like $15 but I was very small and not that good. My wife had spanakopita and it was decent again trying to get our check took forever.

    My girlfriend and I had an amazing time here. Great food and great service. French onion soup with a bread bowl was the best part of our meal. The head chef was kind, friendly, and the food came out quickly.

    Wonderful lunch during the arts festival. All the staff are clearly seasoned, professional, and care about excellent food. The service was kind and light hearted. Wish they’d open more- but we were grateful to try today!

    Every time I come this is no doubt my favorite soup and bread bowl in the world! The cream of mushroom is absolutely to die for!

  • May 18, 2024

    Una vez fui y laa mesas tenian mantel y decoracion en el centro, se veía super lindo. Pero esta vez fui y las mesas estaban sin mantel, sin nada como una cafeteria corriente. Ojalá vuelvan a decorar las mesas lindas todos los dias, eso ayuda a qie el lugar se vea acogedor y hermoso

    My experience was amazing. The food was fantastic. The service the kindness was great. Felt like I was eating Abroad. Five stars straight across the board.

    Amazing four course St.Patrick's Day lunch! Chef Michael definitely knows fine dining. The atmosphere, service, and food was excellent. I was also pleasantly surprised that Chef Michael has house made Sangria flavors on the beverage menu! Very special Sangria, my favorite is the Blueberry Citrus, but the Triple Berry Sangria was very good as well. Never had anything like this Sangria before, the flavors are very balanced. He should sell it in stores. My husband and I had a wonderful dining experience. Next time we visit we hope to try the famous French Onion Soup! Definitely one of the best restaurants in Central Florida!
