This business came through for Xmas Day lunch & dinner…read more My schedule, since I arrived here, has been convoluted nuts and I didn't have time to go grocery shopping before the holidays hit. The filet mignon I purchased from here was good but very different from what I'm used to. It was corn fed instead of grass fed. Not that that's a bad thing ... it's more a case for personal taste.

I agree with the other reviews I have read here. This butcher is a great addition to the…read moreneighborhood. I live close by, so I go in and buy meat for one meal at a time. The chicken, beef and pork I have gotten here have always been fresh and tasty. I have had slightly less luck with the vegetables there, but it is a butcher, not a produce market. They have a freezer case with half-price meat items. I prefer the fresh stuff, but you may prefer to save $$. They are friendly and keep convenient hours.

Walked by and had to drop in. Recently ran out of my fancy balsamic vinegars. They had some new…read moreflavors! Umeboshi and pink guava were new to the store; I tried flavors that might not be new, but are new to me. The store associate helped us find items and explain things to us. I left with the pineapple balsamic and the cranberry pear balsamic. Others I liked were the champagne vinegar and the mango balsamic and the grapefruit balsamic. I didn't like the key lime. The lemongrass mint was interesting, but very strong on the mint. Overall it was fun to see what they have and try new ones. I still left with only my favorites. I still have plenty of olive oil so I didn't buy any of those, but I did try the spicy Calabrian pesto oil. Oh- they have ice cream samples if you wanna try the balsamic on ice cream!

Having been introduced to infused olive oils and flavored balsamic vinegars as simple salad…read moredressing, my wife discovered Mount Dora Olive Oil Company (OOC) through word of mouth. Although Mount Dora can be a fun destination on its own, we spent a good amount of time in this store. Sampling is permitted and is necessary if taste matters to your palate. Another key to success is using the laminated pairing card that OOC provides. Once we found an olive oil we were particular towards, we used the chart to narrow down the balsamic vinegars. The balsamic vinegars on their own were quite tasty! However, we had to stick to our original goal and figure out the pairing. We eventually chose the Lime olive oil and Blackberry Ginger balsamic and the Garlic Olive oil and Neapolitan Herb balsamic. We also purchased the silicone pour caps that are reusable and easily cleaned in the dishwasher (we were told). The employees were very helpful in their assistance and recommendations and suggestions. We found out from them that the infused oils are imported from Chile and balsamic vinegars are imported from Italy. If enough is purchased during a trip and you're a part of their rewards program, you can get free stuff. On this visit, we crossed a threshold and received a free small bottle of balsamic vinegar, of our choice from the selection available for this reward. Reviews at home since implementing the simplifies salad dressing options have been very positive. One taster said, "mind blown." Our mission has been accomplished. If you ever have some time in Mount Dora, definitely stop in here and give your taste buds something different.

It was also a 20 out of 10 for taste! I'm from California and can't wait to go back when I come back!

My daughter and son-in-law enjoyed CYO pasta bowls, my grandson had a kids meal from the BBQ joint, and I opted for Lebanese food. The market offers inside seating and the portions match the price point. The pasta eaters had Alfredo creations, one with fettuccine and the other with rigatoni. A grilled cheese and side of Mac and cheese was ordered at the BBQ spot for my grandson, and I opted for a chicken tawook platter with hummus and rice from Beirut Bites. The 2 chicken skewers were well flavored and the hummus was fantastic, but the pita slices and rice were average. The customer service was excellent. The pasta peeps very much enjoyed their creations and the grilled cheese was enjoyed. Unfortunately, little man couldn't eat the Mac and cheese because it was flavored with peppers and had some kick. For an adult, it was tasty. All in all, this was a great spot for lunch. We filled our bellies and departed with leftovers.
