First Impressions really matters. Came to this spot because I have never been and I have to say I left very pleased with plans to come back!! Hostess was very sweet. Servers were working hard with smiles. Our server was sweet and prompt. Food was really good and pricing was good! The aesthetics of the inside was really great and was just enough! The views absolutely beautiful. Love restaurants on the water. Definitely coming back, soon! Thanks! :) read more

First let me say the Miami vice was the prettiest drink I have had in a minute. I thoroughly enjoyed the view while we ate and the food was delicious. Service was quick and I loved how everyone acknowledged me at each entry point. I look forward to attending again. On the way out there was a guy at the bar beginning to lay some steel drums. Parking right at the place were few, but plenty of parking across the street with a safe trail to walk under the bridge to the venue. read more

Excellent food as always. The food came out fast also. Only issue was that, because they seemed to not be very busy, our server would get distracted doing side work. It happens - he had a great personality and otherwise was a very good server. I never saw a manager and I usually feel it is the manager who needs to keep an eye on the overall operation. I love the view from the restaurant and the relaxed, fun atmosphere. read more

Nice waterfront location with docks and a decent amount of parking. Service was ok but nothing out of the ordinary and friendly enough. mahi was also decent and fresh enough for the location but a little overcooked. Romalade was very good. Lobster Mac was more like cheese soup with so little pasta that it was hard to find and not much lobster. A dish that rich should be a little smaller and have a lot more pasta and lobster as a percentage of the total. Same with the kids portion of mac n cheese. They both ate a few bites and that was about all they wanted. My wife had the coconut fried shrimp and she liked it but again nothing special. So all in all an ok experience with ok food and service in a great setting. read more

Lake Eustis Waterfront Grille My Sunday Golfers group go to different restaurants every Sunday for lunch after golf. On July 20, we all went to Lake Eustis Waterfront Grille. There were 12 of us and this is the 2nd time we've eaten at this establishment. Both times we were seated in their large room upstairs which overlooked Lake Eustis. A beautiful view. There was also a bar upstairs as well as downstairs and outside in the parking lot. The first time we ate at this establishment, my group though the food was fantastic, service was impeccable, and the overall experience was fantastic. So I decided to give it a try again. I'm the one that normally pick the restaurant. Our server this time was Meagan. Meagan greeted all of us with a smile and was very pleasant. For having to serve our group plus other groups up there, Meagan did not miss a beat. She always checked on us to make sure everyone had a drink and that no one needed anything. She made sure we were happy with our food. No one in my group felt that anything took too long for our orders. Bravo Meagan, because of you, and because of the service you provide, the different food options and the beautiful view of the lake from the restaurant, I will be bringing my group back again. I think I would like to try every dish listed in the menu. Not all at once of course but a great execuse to keep coming back. When I pick a restaurant, service and the food are the two main factors I look at if I'm going to bring my group there. We're all from The Villages and I've selected restaurants as far as Orlando for my group because I also want us to try different ethnic food. I normally go to the restaurant first with my spouse and I observe everything including service, location, ambiance and items in the menu. Normally I've already done my homework using yelp, looking at reviews, checking their website and looking at the menu. I like a menu that has a variety of food options. I want to hear my group say, "there is too much to choose from. I can't decide what pick." That way I know the restaurant has something for everyone. Lake Eustis Waterfront Grille has a variety of food selection and a good cocktail selection. To management, what a wonderful place to go to. The service your servers provide is amazing. This is the third time I have eaten at Lake Eustis Waterfront Grille. I have also been there with my spouse and in-laws. For those that have never eaten at this restaurant, I highly recommend it. You will not regret it. Try the Lavender Lemon Drop Martini or the Crazy Mary. read more

Hubby and I found this place on the ma-. Its was packed and they have 3 different earring sites. Inside main building, outside on the dock and the tiki bar playing live music on the weekend. They were busy and the waiter was upfront about it and asked us to place the food early if we were on a time crunch. We sat on the patio by the main building you can enjoy the music without it being too loud. Pets were welcome. Very old Florida you can arrive on boat from the st. John river. Food and drinks were good and worth the price. read more

Food is fantastic, service is always great, and you can't beat the amazing waterfront view! The tiki bar outside is the best spot. They have Bingo on certain days too which is always fun! Make sure to try a seasonal drink, too! read more

We had a party of 12; service wasn't the fastest, but they had a decent sized crowd on a beautiful sunny day. Our waitress had our party, plus another one of 10 or so and maybe other tables ... so she was quite busy. Food was large portions and priced accordingly. After the large order of Green Beans, I wasn't hungry for my Grouper Sammie, so it came home with me. This was my 3rd time here and Id come back again. ​ read more

Server "Tae" was uninviting and full of attitude. There was only one other table in the entire place at lunch but somehow my drink order came 20 minutes after my boyfriend's. It took so long that we left after appetizers. Atmosphere was great, food was solid. we're locals and have been here before but are not planning to return. read more

Good food, great lake views, good service and tiki bar with good music on weekends. Highly recommend.

Great place , friendly bartender , had peek and eat shrimp very good. Give you a lot for the $

I really wanted to like this place, I had heard so many good things about it. Unfortunately when my food came out it was made incorrectly. I did point it out to the waiter but since it wasn't a food allergy I said I would take it as is. No point in waisting food. Things happen, I get it. Then the table next to me stated their order was wrong; and not 4 minutes later I heard a 3rd table say something they ordered was wrong as well. The staff was pretty pushy to try and get me out the door after 30 minutes. It was kind of odd and made me feel uncomfortable. It does have a nice view. I would like to go back to try it again, but not anytime soon. read more

I came here with my mom looking for a restaurant to eat as most diners were closed we found this on the map. The dining area is kept very sanitary and there's a nice ambience. We were greeted when entered and allowed to switch tables. Steven was our server, very friendly, understanding, and quick when it came to his tables. The food however, did not match the same level the atmosphere promised. First off the drinks, my mother ordered a lemonade and found it disgusting. She found it tasted like frozen lemonade the ones you find at stores. Now for the actual food, My mom ordered a strawberry salad with steak bites, hers was fine very pleased however I ordered the penne Alfredo. The menu says PENNE Alfredo. What they did was take the macaroni from the kids Mac and cheese option tossed it in with the chicken and called it a day. It was terrible, by far the worst pasta I've had at any place I've gone to. If you can't afford penne for your establishment abolish it off the menu rather than deceiving your customers. Manager gave a 50% discount for compensation I appreciate the staff entirely for how they treat their customers wish this was better. Extremely disappointed. read more

Drink review only!! After our time in Eustis we wanted to end the day here as it had amazing views of the water! It was packed on this Saturday at the outside bar but we were able to snag some seats facing the marina and lake area. The bartender was quick and efficient with our two beer bottles and we just got one round and paid so our interaction was short. There was also a live guitar player that added a nice ambiance to the beautiful Saturday afternoon. It was sunny, we saw a couple small Gator's , the CFB games were playing . You couldn't ask for a better day. The only downside is that the bathrooms were in the main building so it was a little walk to get there . But not a huge deal, I would definitely return to this place for an actual meal! read more

We arrived quite by accident while out taking a ride from Ocala. The Lake Eustis Waterfront Bar And Grill sits right on the edge of the lake with a stellar water view. Melissa promptly served us and continued to check on us throughout the meal without being intrusive...very professional, polite, and warm and friendly. I had wings which may have been a tad overcooked to being a bit tough and crunchy. They were also small. My wife had the dinner Crab Cakes with grits and Onion rings. She liked her meal. I tasted the crab cakes...can't say they were remarkable and had a fishy taste. On the final observation I find this place to be cool...has an awesome staff... Melissa was incredibly Nice. I am sure any restaurant has an off day on some dishes...I should have ordered seafood, but can't resist trying wings when available. I still enjoyed them. I think this is a definite place to visit...very enjoyable and I still give them 4 stars. Guy and Elaine of Ocala Florida read more

I had dinner here with 3 friends when we were staying in Mount Dora for the art and craft festival. Our server Angie was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed including drink refills. The restaurant was clean and the atmosphere was relaxing. I ordered the blackened haddock sandwich with baked potato and coleslaw. The fish was cooked perfectly and tasted so fresh. The speciality cocktails did not disappoint in taste and appearance. We told our server we were having a girls night out and wanted to chat and she was very respectful of that without ignoring us. We had a great time and excellent food. We will definitely be back. read more

We were seated atleast 10 minutes before the waitress told us she'd be back in a couple minutes. When she came back and got our drink orders, we said we were ready to order and she said oh I can't take your order yet our kitchens not ready. I said what said well we're quite busy and if we give them too many orders at once they they don't do well. I just gave them my last order 5 minutes ago so I'll take your order in 5 more minutes. In 5 minutes, she brought her water and took our orders. It then took probably 40 minutes to get our food. Let me just say the restaurant was not busy. There were many, many empty tables. I went to the ladies room when I first got there and told the Hostess that they were out of paper towels in the ladies room. Her reply was yes ma'am. I went back to the bathroom as we were leaving and still no paper towels It's a Lady's room.. I got Monte Crisco sandwich and sweet potato fries and the husband got the grouper sandwich and onion rings. My Monte Crisco tasted weird, not like any Monte Crisco I've ever had before and it's one of my favorite sandwiches. Sweet potato pot fries were very mushy not crispy at all. The GM or preserves that they said came with it was in my opinion grape jelly. The husband's grouper and onion rings were okay. The beautiful location but very very poor service. read more

Very nice meal. Fish was cooked perfectly. Fries and cole slaw were delicious. The large hamburger was delightful. The frosty cold tropical drinks hit the spot on a swelteringly hot summer day. Our server was great. He was attentive without being smarmy - a welcome trait vs those all too common metrosexual dudes who think waiting tables and simply serving lunch is their opportunity to show off their minimal acting chops. Our lunch was very nice. The walk along the docks after we ate completed a most enjoyable meal. We've added a new mid-Florida destination to our Rolodex for "Where do you wanna eat?" when we find ourselves in the Tavares/Eustis area. Nice place. read more

We've eaten at the restaurant 4 or 5 times with mixed experiences. The last two times our waiter was a bit obnoxious, trying to be funny. There never seems to be enough help making the wait for food on the long side. Overall, the food is good but this past visit the fish was cold. Prices are comparable to other seafood restaurants around and the restaurant and view are nice. read more

I just had the owner Conni B messaging me since yesterday arguing with me told me she was at the restaurant and witnessed everything and didn't even come out to address the issue. This all over a $2 soda that I had because I am a diabetic, allergic to mold which soda dispenser was full of mold and I have been drugged before and never drink unsealed drinks anymore. She is only hearing what her staff is telling her and not the customers side of the story. She prefers to lose business arguing with me as opposed to doing damage control. She just lost a lot of business because I know many people in that area that will never step foot in her establishment again. Well done Conni B. read more

Great appetizers and beers, with a nice spot right on the lake and the staff was very pleasant.

Sunday we tried this restaurant for the 1st time to celebrate my husband's birthday. We were greeted when we entered. They have 4 areas to dine: the tiki bar, outside by the water/marina, downstairs and upstairs. We chose to eat inside and upstairs by the window. They have an extension menu. Our waitress, Wanda has very helpful in explaining the menu and assisting on our choices. We both chose the blackened Mahi Mahi with a baked potato (we had it dressed: cheese and bacon which is another $2.00 each) but it comes with butter and sour cream. For our second side, my husband had the cole slaw and I had the Caesar salad. We recommend all these choices. They have a nice selection of draft beers but we chose the Lake Eustis Waterfront Lager since it was made especially for them. Since it was my husband's birthday he received a yummy warm brownie with cream and chocolate sauce. We would definitely recommend them and we will return. read more

Nice ambiance - good for a refreshment and appetizer . Great Lake front view! Lots of seafood options

We went there for the first time. We got the same spiel as the other people wrote about today. Had to space out the orders which surprised me because the restaurant wasn't that crowded especially for a Saturday. Finally placed our order for crabcakes. Waitress came back about 5 mins later to say they had run out of crabcakes, we said you ran out, it's only 4:00. So we ordered scallops and shrimp Alfredo. Both were not good, scallops were rubbery and the Alfredo sauce was so watery and the pasta overdone it was hard to eat. First time there won't be back. read more

Waited over an hour and still didn't have our food. Asked to get it to go and still waited! Waitress never once refilled our drinks. The manager explained the fryer was busy so that's why it was taking over an hour to make a Monte Cristo, when my friend asked to cancel the order and just give her a refund the manager said he could not do that! read more

Brady and Heather were absolutely AWESOME! Food was really good, good sweet tea. All around great views and great service.

Food is great. Service Is great. Views are amazing. Accompanied our large group with ease. Thanks Brady

This restaurant is extremely busy. We enjoy the lake views and the staff. My favorite is the swamp fries.

Great ambience, especially sitting out on the dock. Bar looked great and service was good. The food was not the best, not many vegetarian options, besides salad. Even the meat eater said their food was just OK. Maybe we ordered the wrong items. Would go back to try again. read more
