    A very unique and special dining experience. You will sit in a small room next to a private kitchen. The server explains everything in perfect detail and is very knowledgeable. I While it is a little expensive, you are paying for experience and quality! I would love to return for a special occasion in the future. Keep in mind the menu changes with new chef creations!

    Scallops over polenta
    Jensine C.

    Always amazing service here at a Winter Garden local spot. With all of the recent news lately about local businesses right off of Plant Street closing unexpectedly without a future home, I had to come and visit chef's table. The staff are always super friendly and knowledgeable about the ever-changing menu. For my appetizer I tried the scallops over polenta and I'm not gonna lie. This is probably the best tasting scallops I've ever had in my entire life. In special fish was the grouper that was perfectly crisp on the outside and light and flaky on the inside, serve over a bed of risotto. Overall, an amazing experience that I couldn't even save room for dessert. I hope that chef's table remains a stable in winter garden.

    The hostess and waitress were super welcoming and attentive. I sat at the windowsill high top table near the entrance. I love the small brewery feel of the decor. Food 5/10 Edgewater burger w/ duck fat fries the burger read well and listed many ingredients but some how was bland. I'm used to the burger being flavorful and this burger although cooked well didn't have any flavor. Not sure how it had gouda,smoked bacon and aioli and be so bland. The fries also weren't my favorite just dry. Drink 9/10 sunset mocktail. Very refreshing Service 10/10 waitress was super sweet and despite the food I had a pleasant experience.

    I came for the first time tonight for Magical Dining and had an amazing experience. We came on a Tuesday night so we found parking fairly easily in the parking lot behind the building. Upon arrival, we were led by the hostess through the first restaurant, hotel, past the kitchen and into the other restaurant. Our server was very funny and made great recommendations. They start you each with a hot roll and butter. They had lots of cocktails which came out pretty and tasty. Honestly, all the dishes came out in beautiful presentation and great flavor. We had the mushroom crepes, beef tartare, pork ribeye, fish (cod), short rib, s'mores bread pudding and creme brulee. I will definitely be back!

    We did a private dinner for a birthday with a tasting menu. Also did the wine pairing. I started with the strawberry salad which was perfect. Dried and regular strawberries. Then moved on to the steak. It was excellent. One of the best steaks I have had. For dessert I had the bread pudding. It was not my favorite. It was pretty dry. If it wasn't for the bread pudding, this would've been a five star meal. Would still definitely go back because that steak was incredible.

    I came here for my friend's birthday dinner and Ryan was my server and he was great explaining the menu and the food and service is awesome! It's a 3 course meal so you choose appetizer, entree and dessert!

    Inside of mini beef Wellingtons...meat was a little tough
    Lucy L.

    Came for a date night and it happened to be the night of the Annual Christmas Parade, which explained why we were able to get a reservation at peak hours but also that we missed the actual parade--we had plenty of time to enjoy the festivities and decor before and after, though! The place was pretty empty when we were first seated but started filling up quickly once the parade was over. We sat in the tasting room, not the prix fixe experience which seemed to happen in a separate room in the back. The ambience was cozy with the wood paneled walls and holiday decor. My partner picked this place specifically for their mini beef Wellington trio as we had missed out in the chance to try beef Wellington at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant on a recent trip. Do note that the menu is seasonal so the options will rotate. In addition to the beef trio we ordered the chef's collards, mushroom remoulade, and pear glazed elk chops. The dishes, while initially tasty, became overbearingly salty after getting through a couple bites, none more than the Wellington trio. The sauce on the elk chops was probably my favorite thing because it had the sweetness from the pear in addition to the salty. I'm sad to report that the Wellington bites was probably the most disappointing dish, which in addition to lacking dimension of flavor, was too well-done, the beef on the tough side. For some reason the red wine sauce didn't do a lot to add depth--really was just salty. Alas, I will just have to await Gordon's magic after all. I did also order a drink but it took so long to come that I basically had it as my dessert entree after dinner. Overall, I think it is fine as a "hotel restaurant" but priced a little too high for the quality of the food.

    I didn't know you had to book in advance for the chefs table- special reservation. We just had a regular reservation I suppose. So we sat outside because inside was very chilly. Service was great. There was another group that was causing a problem in the restaurant so our orders got ignored. So we sat with our fries for a long time and entrees took forever. The chef came out to apologize. In the end, they comped our steak. I would definitely go back here again. I want to do the actual chefs table. The menu otherwise looks awesome. So many things I would eat. Bring a jacket. It's chilly inside. Parking is along the street and it's plentiful. It's right next to a cute hotel. In fact, the bathroom is through the hotel.

    I can't believe I've never written a review. My husband and I have been coming here since 2013 for their creative seasonal dishes. The Chef's Table only has a set tasting menu of 3 options to choose from for starters, entre, and a desert. Portion sizes are just right, presentation is picture perfect, and the flavor of the food is exceptional. You also have the option to choose a wine pairing of three wines picked by the chef to pair with each portion of the meal. I highly recommend it. The service is top notch, and you can expect to receive 5 start treatment. The restaurant's small intimate setting in the kitchen area makes this experience great for special occasions.

    Pan - Seared Foie Gras

    On my birthday I had a reservation and the restaurant is located on the iconic Wintergarden downtown strip. The establishment is inside of a 1920s hotel and somewhat gives the vibe of a speakeasy. Once entering, you'll see the more casual portion of the interior but the hostess guided us to a back room within the hotel. Lots of stained glass and colonial furniture, refreshing to see in a world of modernism dystopia. The seating arrangements in the back were more intimate but still had the classic feel to it. Our waiters gave us a run down of the menu which was prefixed with 3 appetizers, 3 entrees, and 3 desserts to choose from. I picked the Foie Gras with the blueberry compote as my first course. The presentation was impeccable, almost looked like a painting and well arranged. The taste resembled somewhat of a savory blueberry toast. My partner received the scallops with butternut squash purée and it was the perfect ratio of flavors. My entree was the Mahi Mahi with Bok Choy, it had slight lemony tinge to it but the fish was cooked flawlessly. My boyfriend got them Ribeye which fell off the bone, extremely tender and probably the largest portion on the menu. For desert, I selected the New York cheesecake, the execution of the dish was immaculate but I prefer my comrades instead. He ordered the Dark Chocolate Crème Brûlée and it tasted uncannily like a brownie. I chose an alcoholic drink as well and it was strong. Unlike South Florida fine dining (I'm from Broward), I was pleasantly surprised that I left Chef's Table full. All the dishes were a exquisite culmination of flavors. Worth every penny and it wasn't that pricey for 2 people. Should be Michelin starred for sure.

    We've heard many great things about this place, so we decided to try it and celebrate our anniversary. It's located in the back of the tasting room, which I've eaten at several times and highly recommend. They offer a chef's table selection menu. You have about three choices from each course. We loved everything we had, and it was an elevated food experience worthy of 5-stars. We started with a Mushroom torte and some ravioli, followed by the duck and the most delicious pork ribeye I've ever had! Unfortunately, the gnocchi it came with was slightly burnt, but since everything else was fantastic, I'll consider this an oversight. We finished with crème brûlée and bread pudding for dessert. You can also opt for the wine pairing, but we just got a bottle of wine to share. Our server was down to earth, not pushy about anything, and the environment was very relaxed and pleasant. Where we sat, I could watch the kitchen staff preparing the meals. I'm glad we chose to celebrate our anniversary there. It was a perfect place for our special night!

    Came here this past weekend for an early valentines dinner and tried the prearranged 3 course meal. The food was good as usual. For the 3 course meal for two (appetizer, entree and dessert) with two cocktails came out to be around $275. The service was great and our waiter was very attentive. Highly recommend the mushroom torte and the pork chop pictured. Thought the preselected menu was a bit pricer than I expected, but will still come back and continue to order off the regular menu

    Food: Starting on July 1st, guests can take advantage of their Tasting Room Date Night Experience at $75 per couple, which is basically a three-course prix fixe dinner with optional wine pairings. - First course: the Pan Seared Scallops (2 large ones) had a perfect golden-brown crust and were paired with a watercress salad, which I love and think goes very well with buttery seafood. 5 stars. - Second course: I was initially told that the Fish of The Day was swordfish, which I wasn't very thrilled about, but ordered anyway. I was pleasantly surprised when the waiter told me that they ran out of swordfish and asked me if I would be okay with halibut. I agreed right away since halibut is one of my favorite types of white fish. The halibut's texture was good but the fish itself could have been seasoned better, so I added salt and pepper to it, which worked. Fish was accompanied by risotto and blackeyed beans. While the risotto was creamy (though not heavy) and tasty, I would never pair fish with blackeyed beans and, indeed, was not a fan of the combination. 3 stars. - Third course: I don't usually pick creme brulee when given different options for dessert, but the fact that this one was a Coconut Creme Brulee made me curious. And it did not disappoint: the coconut flavor made it a very unique desert indeed. Since the creme brulee on its own is quite fatty, I'm of the opinion that the generous portion of whipped cream on top could have been left out of the plate. 5 stars. Service: our waiter was fabulous! From offering to sample red and white wine and making suggestions to describing each course on the menu in more detail, he was able to leave a lasting impression with his emotional intelligence, knowledge of the business/menu, and sense of humor. The young lady serving bread was also very friendly and made sure we had warm bread the entire night. Ambiance: The restaurant is on the first floor of The Historic Edgewater Hotel, which, according to its website, opened in 1927 and "has undergone a historic restoration to provide guests with as much of the original 1927 ambiance as possible". Its facade hints at the elegance awaiting inside. As I stepped into this restaurant, I was immediately transported back in time to the grandeur of an earlier era. The restaurant has separate smaller rooms which makes it even more unique. We passed by the hotel's reception to access our table, which was located in a small room in the back, with only 3 tables total, and right next to the kitchen. There were no walls or doors between the room and the kitchen so I was able to see from very close all the kitchen activity. While I would usually mind seating that close to the kitchen (looking at how food is made in a restaurant would usually be a mood killer for me), I actually enjoyed watching the organized chaos this time.

Tres Amigos salsa has a variety few different flavors that go well with their tacos available at their restaurant. The flavors for the salsas are, Original, Hot, Smoky, Verde, and their Kicked up Queso. What's interesting about their Queso is that they add their original salsa to their queso to apply that flavor to the cheese! These flavors were great, and the Kicked up Queso stood out majorly! For the dinner, there are four taco options; steak, chicken, shrimp, and veggies. You have the option to have your tacos on a corn or flour tortilla, and is paired with black beans and rice. You are also able to order these tacos individually, or in a family pack of four. I ordered a steak taco, and they cooked the proteins on the grill and gives the protein a nice char!
