    I loved the former downtown Orlando location so I was beyond excited to attend an event and visit the new Sanford location and it did not disappoint one bit! The atmosphere is amazing, We arrived for a ticketed event for DJ Magic Mike's birthday and the crowd, food, drinks and service were all top notch. Our bartender Ricky was personable,fun and great at mixing drinks!! The crowd was diverse yet everyone was enjoying the night in harmony -from the dance floor to the restrooms it was laughs and like hanging with an entire bar filled with your friends!! It was very chill and safe!!The sound and lights were the best I've heard . Parking seemed tight when we arrived but we got a great spot right up close! I would return again and again! I personally did not eat but friends did and they said their appetizers were very good!

    Ace Cafe is a new restaurant in Sanford. The cater to everything automotive and motorcycle. Have weekly car and motorcycle events. Great place to come to hang out eat and shop. They have a amazing shopping area with lots of Ace Cafe t-shirts The shop also features other local artists and sellers. Looking forward to grabbing a bite here soon. We came for the opening party and it was epic. Lots of free giveaways and the staff was friendly and made sure everyone was having a good time. This is an excellent added GEM for Sanford!

    Recently went for lunch at Ace Cafe... just opened in Sanford and we wanted to see what the buzz was all about... The space is awesome! I love that they kept elements of the original building. The space is huge! And there's a private room you can rent for a party. Clean and tabled are well spaced out, in fact they can prob fit so many more tables, personally enjoyed not being on top of someone while eating. Menu could afford to be expanded a bit to make it more versatile but still plenty to choose from. The service is great. Servers are friendly and attentive. Food was good... and the portions are enormous. The wings are fantastic! Love that you get the whole wing! They were big and juicy!! The Korean chicken sandwich was good however it was way too much sauce on it in my opinion. I felt like I was eating sauce with a side of chicken. Would def get the sauce on the side next time. Chicken and waffles slapped! They were sweet and savory and honestly enough for 2 people to share. I would def go back and looking forward to seeing how the menu evolves over time.

    The fish and chips was great! Love Ace Cafe, I went to the Orland location a few years ago and was sad that they had close down. Glad they opened this location in Sanford, it is a great spot! Same motorcycle/car inspired ambiance with what seems to be a cool band space and good parking for car/motorcycle meets. I came from Tampa for the Orlando Roadsters meet, and love the place.

    Really nice establishment! This was my first visit to Ace café Sanford. I had visited the Orlando location before it closed down. We were greeted upon walking in and had a seat at the bar. The bartender made our drinks promptly. We ordered a bacon cheddar Smashburger with fries and upgraded them to Parmesan fries. The burger itself was delicious. The french fries did not taste very good and not worth the up charge for Parmesan. A burger and fries is $20. Price seems a little high for what you get. I would return for drinks. It's a very large establishment and wish so much success.

    Fish and chips ...mushy peas arrived later

    Ace Cafe rocks! What an Awesome venue of motormania, bikes and brews, rock, and fun foodie times!!! I'm sooo happy they moved to Sanford from the old Edge downtown. Can anyone say, too much fun? So, the new spot's so much better. Much more accessible!! And thank Gods for that. What a great time we had today. We had some excellent food, some brews, dessert. Was excellent for a restaurant that should be going through some growing pains for opening up a new location. Fish and chips were nom nom nom yum yum; even the mushy peas :) And those pickled tomatoes on the freakeshly large chicken sting sammy, Good Lord, I Love those things. They ought to be an app!! Looking forward to good times ahead. Good luck!!

    Fast service. Friendly staff. The poutine was amazing and a lot of fries. The atmosphere was fun, especially on bike nights. It's great they have a store to buy neat gear.

    I'm so happy to have the Ace Cafe back! Not only is it an amazing place to gather for car and motorcycle enthusiasts, but they have an incredible menu! I grabbed a rev-it-up and go smash burger on my last visit and the combination of the pimento cheese with the onion jam and egg was really a culinary masterpiece. There are also some fantastic British dishes and a brunch menu I'm dying to try as well!

The service was good, and we were in and out. Granted, we sat at the bar and got one drink each before the dinner rush was in. The only reason I'm giving it 4 instead of 5 stars is due to the small portion sizes. The drinks were quite expensive for how little beverage was to be had in the little glasses. Ik restaurants like to say it's all the same, but definitely felt like they priced us out of buying another drink due to the small serving. Onto the drinks, I really enjoyed the Crush Crush. I'm a big cosmo girly and this was spectacular for being used to tasting the vodka in a martini drink. I was very happy with the flavor and enjoyment I got from it. My boyfriend got the margarita and he enjoyed it, but also was a bit disappointed with the portion. I still recommend this restaurant if you're wanting to have a swanky cocktail outing, but maybe have a few other places lined up and don't depend on spending your day/night here. The food looks great too. I will be bringing an office event here to try the food next.

The bar itself is a great space and beautifully decorated, which really added to the vibe of the night. There was only one waitress covering the entire bar, and she truly did her best to keep up. We appreciated her effort and attentiveness, especially managing everything on her own. We did try making conversation at the bar, but the interaction felt a bit short. I ordered a mocktail and asked her to surprise me since there wasn't a mocktail menu. She brought a pineapple drink that unfortunately tasted off, it turned out the juice had gone bad. My husband ordered two $12 cocktails, and both were noticeably watered down. I ordered a second mocktail, though, and that one was actually really good. I do want to point out that the drinks did come out in a timely fashion. Overall, the event and atmosphere were fantastic, and while there were a few drink hiccups, we could tell the staff was doing their best.

    Such a hidden gem! My husband and I decided to try a little bit of everything on the menu and…read morehonestly, not a single thing disappointed. Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and you can tell there's real thought put into the food and presentation. We ended up staying for well over two hours just enjoying the whole experience -- the vibes, the music, the drinks, and the overall atmosphere were just so good. It felt cozy, lively, and welcoming all at the same time. The drinks were beautifully made and paired perfectly with the food, and the staff and crowd made the space feel fun and relaxed. It's one of those places you randomly find and then immediately want to gatekeep (but also tell everyone about). Truly such a great experience from start to finish. Can't wait to go back!

The ambiance is about half of what this place is all about. It's very Trader Sam's, including a lot of neat Disney memorabilia on the shelves on the walls behind the bar. Dark and stormy tiki bar vibes. The service was super friendly, and the food and bev came out very timely. The drinks were great, and they had a really nice mocktail menu. You can come and enjoy a nice drink without getting alcohol. We also ordered a burger from their limited food menu. It was very good. Not in competition for best burger in Orlando or anything, but the flavors were on point, and bun was nice and soft, and the furikake dusted crinkle cut fries were the perfect side item. Overall, this place was very cool, and if you haven't come here yet, you need to.

    Best Happy Hour we have found in downtown Sanford. You seat yourself after ordering from the bar…read moreas no servers outside at this time. We came twice during our trip because of the great outdoor dining experience and excellent service from the bartenders. They have a very limited menu and the lady working it, stayed on her phone lol. The bar is clean enough but the ladies restroom could benefit by a deal clean and fixing up a bit. The atmosphere is so nice and it's kid/pet friendly. One thing I especially loved were the nice wine glasses you can take outside. So many places have gone to plastic and while we understand, it's so appreciated. Come with confidence.

    Celery City Bar is hands down one of the most unprofessional bars I've ever stepped into…read more Both bartenders were visibly drunk, rude, and acting like they were the main characters in a sad little power trip. I ordered an espresso martini from one bartender. Another randomly made it without confirming, then absolutely spiraled when I asked about my drink. Instead of clearing it up, he chose public humiliation berating and talking down to me at the bar like I'd committed some unforgivable crime. Full medieval town-shaming energy. Shame bell not included. What were they busy doing instead of their jobs? Flirting with freshly-21 customers and openly staring at their chests. If you weren't new, young, or feeding their ego, you were invisible or worse, a target. Two grown adults behind a bar acting like sloppy, insecure children with alcohol and an attitude problem. No class. No taste. No professionalism. Just embarrassing behavior that would get you fired anywhere that actually cared about standards. Save your money, skip the humiliation, and go literally anywhere else.
