    Saw this place a few months ago and was excited for it to open. Planned to spend a night in Mount Dora to try it. Was excited for their happy hour menu. No where was it advertised that it was bar only. We got seated at a table and asked for the happy hour menu, told bar only, okay totally understandable, no problem we moved to the bar. Got seated at the bar, gave the bartender two drink orders and she walks away ignoring our third person. We ordered oysters and shrimp, oysters came out and went to another person at the bar. Bartenders and manager were standing around and realized it went to the wrong person, I noticed this and just kind of mouthed to them that it was okay but no one acknowledged me or the mistake. Okay fine no biggie. Our oysters came out shortly after. No shrimp. I ordered shrimp again, never came out. Received our bill and sure enough we were charged $126 for 6 shrimp we never got. A member of our party for the tuna and she said it was so bad she did not even finish it, I'm glad I didn't get it. The oysters were okay, came with a little cocktail sauce and red wine vinegar. The bartender seemed very overwhelmed. The bar was full but there was only one table sat. There was a HUGE issue with flies which I still don't understand since there is no open windows or doors. If it was like that at the bar what is the kitchen like? The flies were all over the people, the drinks, and the food. A table near us got the cheese board and we joked that it came with a fly. It's a nice place, the drinks were good, they need to fix the fly problem and the bartender needs to be trained better or maybe it's not for her.

    Spent a sisters weekend in Mount Dora and had to try out The Frog and the Monkey and so glad we did…read more Perfect spot for bar eats... burgers, wings, salads, all the good stuff. My sister had the prime dip and I went for the turkey brie - both were delicious and super satisfying. Service was great too - everyone was friendly and welcoming, which always makes a difference. There is a parking lot right next to the restaurant, super convenient. The place is cozy and has a nice size bar area. Definitely recommend if you're in the area!

    So I went to the frog and money once and loved it I traveled with friends over an hour that was…read moreranting about it and I decided to go back with the same friends ! The drinks were priced great and the soup and burgers were so good! But I went 01/10/2026 at 230pm (busy rush for a pub on a Saturday) and I ordered a burger and soup because they have a soup of the day each day, who doesn't love that. Well my soup came out quick and I was pleased with that, it was chicken orzo soup, so good! Well I start getting to the soup and thought oh wow they put cheese in here, didn't tell me it would have cheese and I'm rubbing it around in my mouth cause I like to taste my food you know? Well it wasn't cheese...... IT WAS SOMEONES CHEWED MINTY GUM IN MY MOUTH STUCK IN MY TEETH I got sick (in a napkin of course) and informed my server, ran to the bathroom some more getting sick and when I came back my server informed me I wouldn't pay for anything, I made a comment that maybe the dishwasher didn't do a good job but the server told me he wish that was the case that it was intended for an employee on break and he thought it was mine in the window and it wasn't, he apologized, well I took a couple shots of whiskey to kill the bacteria hopefully. I asked for a manger to come talk to me because I work in the food industry and I don't feel it was handled correctly, he informed me the manger was not there he had to text her to get the approval for the bill. So I was definitely taken back. I have never had anything like this happen to me and the two girls I was with also tasted the soup because I said it didn't taste right and they was literally given a bill for their 15$ burgers and I got a 10% card to hopefully come back. I have called twice to talk to a manger and have not gotten through to anyone, I've seen messages online to suspected owners and still nothing back, I was told the guy with the gauges in the kitchen is the one that did it, I woken up with a sore throat today and will be going to get tested and they will be informed of my medical bills by a lawyer. PS my friend ordered a burger Togo a few hours later for her aunt I went in to get the burger and pay with my 10% card and the short haired short server with glasses was seen laughing at the computer about the situation, I just don't think it was funny at all.

    My mom and I visited here during the very busy Mount Dora Craft Fair. We stopped in for lunch and…read morehad about a 40 minute wait. They have a system where they will call your cell phone when your table is ready. We got a hightop tables outside. There seems to be quite a bit of outside seating with a few spots and bar inside. Our server was friendly and had a good attitude through the rush. We ordered a Green Day salad and a Pepper Mi-Roni pizza to share. For $15 for the salad, it was extremely small. Honestly the size of a small side salad. With the price we thought it would be big enough to share like side salads for the pizza but we were wrong. The pizza was pretty good. I appreciate small cup pepperonis on pizza. The crust was crisp from being in the fired oven. The lunch was decent for fueling us the rest of the day.

Located in a heart of everything but just enough out of the way that the parking is convenient this place has it all a great 90s music playlist was playing on the night I went and it was pleasantly occupied but not packed to the point that I had to wait for a seat, the staff was a attentive and even offered some suggestions. I had the espresso margarita, which was absolutely fantastic and made with real fresh espresso and tequila.. They have gluten-free pizza crust available as well and I will update this review when I go back a second or third and maybe even a fourth time.
