Default Mt. Dora restaurants

Going to Mt. Dora this Thursday to see Grease and want a "nice" place to grab a bite before the play. Can be casual, do not want "fancy", simply good food and a pleasant atmosphere. All recommendations are appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

The Frog and Monkey Pub on 411 No. Donnelly St, Mount Dora, FL 32757 is wonderful. Just went to Grease last week and the prices of our original restaurant choice were so disappointing (expensive) however, we stumbled upon this restaurant and were more than pleased. Service was great and food was outstanding. Along with a wonderful performance of Grease, this made our day!

If you like authentic Cuban food try the Copacabana. Really good food and reasonable prices. It's on Dora Drawdy in downtown.

Goblin Market expect to pay $30-35 for a dinner entree.

Four of us enjoyed our visit. The ambiance was a ten. We felt like we had been transported to a foreign country: very rich, eloquent and quaint. The service was a ten. One of the ladies had the Florida Swordfish and found it to be rather exquisite. Another lady and I had the Whole Roasted Bronzini, which was sea bass with lemon, garlic and rosemary; served on a cedar plank. We gave it very high marks. While staring down at a dead fish that was staring back at me was a little disconcerting right out of the chute and while I had fun in the slicing and dicing that was needed to get to the meat itself, it was a fun experience. I probably would not get that again as there are other delicacies that I will try out next time. My wife had the Macadamia Crusted Chicken. She was slightly disappointed and gave it about a 6 or 7. We will return. If you have never been there I strongly suggest you give it a try.
