    This place is a definite vibe! Our first time was for Valentines dinner. Service was amazing. The appetizers were not things we would typically choose, but really enjoyed. The mushrooms were so good! The lobster was excellent, but the risotto was definitely undercooked. That braised short rib was the start and made me say risotto who? The music was great. The lady with the tinsel hair kept things on track and was so pleasant checking on everyone. We had to take the dessert home- but wow!!! We definitely look forward to coming back again

    We went for the high tea and it was wonderful! The food was delicious, especially the chicken salad sandwich and the scones with clotted cream. We really loved their teas we selected as well, I believe mine was a biscotti one and it was so good. We plan to go back again for another high tea but also dinner.

    Good Friday ...

    Kopparberg mixed fruit tropical cider - 8 dollars
    Arun K.

    For your entertainment and information, I am bringing you decent food and good service in a bit boring and somewhat inside voice atmosphere. Live music is there, but the music seemed to be quite soft. You may think this weirdness has brought you to the Twilight Zone or Futurama's The Scary Door. But no, you have actually entered Winter Garden's The Attic Door. Introducing the protagonist, myself, having dinner at 8pm on a Saturday. I made a reservation using OpenTable. Upon entering, I got seated immediately at the small table in a corner near the bar area. I was given water immediately and found out that cocktails are not served, so I settled on a crafted tropical fruit cider for 8 dollars. It was by Kopparberg and tasted fruity without being sour. There was only 4 percent alcohol content, so it felt like that a kid lightly tagged me and said that's it. For food, I was informed the pulled pork stacker (15 dollars) would be the most filling. It came quite quickly, and as an appetizer size, which should have been shared. But it was small enough for me to eat the whole thing. There was an ample amount of pulled pork with coleslaw, chives, fried onions, and a good amount of pickled jalapenos. It was on top of creamy polenta. I was asked first if I liked jalapenos and after telling them that I really enjoyed them, it looks like they provided an extra amount of them. The pickling took away most of the heat, and the polenta helped balance it as well. The pork was tender and had a light bbq flavor. The dish was quite filling without making me stuffed. Thus I decided to try the banana foster bread pudding (10 dollars) for dessert. It took a while because it came directly from the oven. It was presented in a skillet, which I wasn't informed that it would be quite hot. The bread pudding was ok and surprisingly on the lighter side without being too sweet. The brandy sauce could have been stronger as I didn't really taste the spirit (pun intended). The highlight were the bananas as they are sweet and very tasty from being brulee'd by a torch. My server was friendly and informative. He helped me choose wisely from the menu so I can feel full without being stuffed. I was however surprised that my main dish came quickly while my dessert took time. The dining room area was a bit small and can get crowded, especially during the time when there is live entertainment. One room has a bar with some seating areas, while the other room is more for the lounging and kitchen area. Next to the entrance is where the musician plays. When I was there, it looked to be a guitarist playing boring soft rock music. During the breaks, it was the same type of music piped softly from the soft conversational background by the guests. While it wasn't too quiet, you can feel the library or guesthouse vibe from the patrons using their inside voices. And the library vibe continued from the amount of books in the bar, the drapes from the ceiling and windows, and the lounging area that is comfortable enough to read books. There was a small outdoor seating area in the front for people watching, and enjoying the cars passing by. If you are lucky, you can park directly in the street and walk to the restaurant. However, most likely you will find easier parking at the free garage nearby. Reservations are recommended when there is live entertainment as waiting can be up to an hour without one. From the decent food and service in a library like atmosphere that has music and patrons using their inside voices, the weirdness can make one feel like being in the Twilight Zone or Scary Door. But instead, you are actually in the Winter Garden's B Rated bistro, The Attic Door.

    Drove 3 and a half hours north to this area for my 32nd birthday and this was the first place we stopped to eat. What an absolute gem! The atmosphere is calm and cozy. There was live music, but it wasn't loud and added to the vibe of the restaurant. We had the deviled eggs (which are a must!) And the spinach dip. Deviled eggs were unlike your typical deviled egg, these were bursting with flavor! The spinach dip was very good and cheesy, chips were fresh. For our entrees we got the smoked salmon Flatbread which was unlike anything I've ever had before. Was light, zesty, tangy and crispy. We also got the mushroom fricassee pappardelle pasta which was literally to die for. An absolute must if you come. Had lots of variety of mushrooms, and all the flavors worked really well together. Hunter was our server and was incredibly attentive and welcoming. We will definitely be back!

    One side of the Attic door, this is the bar area. There's another side that is like a seating: sofas and chair area.

    This is one of the most adorable, cozy, and relaxing places on Plant Street in Winter Garden. There generally is live music in the evenings, the seating is comfortable, there is plenty of service people to help with wine, beer, and tapas orders. Over the last couple years, the menu has been improving exponentially. Many delightful, mini sandwiches, and food. I definitely recommend you try this place. It is getting increasingly popular, so I suggest you go to open table to make reservations, If you know you were going ahead of time. You can also usually sit at the bar. But last night the bar was full also. very popular. The bar is run very efficiently, and although it is very busy, the service is quite brisk. If you can, ask to be in server Kim's section. She is funny and lots of delightful quips as she serves you. The other servers are efficient also, but Kim has just been there longer and I know her personally.

    Really a cool spot in downtown Winter Garden for a quick happy hour or light sit down meal! My husband and I love to sit on the patio when it's nice out and get a couple glasses of their house wine. They always have a creative dinner specials and desserts. One of our favorites is their creme brulee we have had funky flavors like carrot cake and sweet potato pie! There tends to be an older crowd here but that can be typical of a wine bar. Several of the plates we have had are more like appetizers so if you are looking for a full dinner option let the server know.

You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, and it shows in how he takes care of his tables. We started with the hummus appetizer, which was fresh, smooth, and a great way to kick things off. For our meals, we had the steak flatbread and the steak frites--both were cooked well and full of flavor, with the steak coming out tender and perfectly done. Everything came out timely, and Kenny checked in at just the right moments to make sure we were good. We couldn't skip dessert, and the strawberry bread pudding with strawberry ice cream was the perfect ending--sweet, warm, and really satisfying without being too heavy. What really set the vibe, though, was the music. Kenny's 90s R&B playlist gave the whole place a relaxed, nostalgic feel. We ended up staying for hours just enjoying the food, the music, and the overall ambiance. Definitely one of those experiences where the service takes everything to the next level. We'll absolutely be back.

I really liked that they had happy hour and that it was offered to us throughout our time there. Our server was attentive and made sure that every course we received was a good one. The food was okay overall. I tried to get a little bit of everything with my Magical Dining order. I do wish the tofu had a little bit more salt to it. It was seasoned well, but it was missing that actual salty taste, although that could just be my personal preference. The salmon, though, was seasoned to perfection! I will always remember that salmon because it was really good and flavorful and did not have that fishy, seawater taste, if that makes sense. All in all, I'll definitely be back to try some of the other items on the menu. I really liked the variety of options they had, and I also liked the area itself. I could definitely see this being a place I come back to with the kids as well as for a date night in the future.

We were seated in the outdoor area and then sat for over 20 minutes without a single server coming to our table. When someone finally did, they apologized and explained there had been a miscommunication among the staff. I appreciated the apology, but the issues didn't end there -- our salad never made it to the table. Instead, it was packed up at the end of the meal and handed to us to take home, which isn't quite the same as enjoying it with dinner. The kitchen clearly knows what it's doing, but a restaurant is more than just food. With so many other great restaurants in the Winter Garden area, I won't be coming back.

There's a distinct smell of baking pizzas and Italian breads and also those red checked table cloths that just reminds me of being a kid. The food was pretty basic, but everything tasted pretty good.

If they can fix the cooling situation, this would easily be one of my favorite spots. The food and staff deserve better conditions to shine in.
