This is a relatively small restaurant in a strip mall like building. Open the front door to a charming atmosphere. Quiet despite it being a full house. The staff are friendly and make you feel at home. Literally. Felt like we were visiting family without the arguments. Attentive, friendly, and able to anticipate our needs before we knew we had them. The food is simple and delicious. Flavorful standards and a few unusual surprises thrown. I had Sheppards Pie. I know, feels like a dish you make yourself to empty the refrigerator. Not here. It was so much better than I anticipated. Dessert was a delicious rich chocolate concoction so good that it wiped my memory of its name. I do know it was so rich and delicious, two people should share it. read more

I really enjoy grabbing a bite and a glass of wine at The Attic Door! It is such a hidden gem in downtown Winter Garden. It is very eclectic inside and has live music that I have not been disappointed in at all. The people that work there are fantastic and very attentive! read more

Winter Garden doesn't have a lot of wine bars, but this one is just wonderful. Small and quaint with rustic decor, a small staff that is extremely attentive and knowledgeable, and a vast wine menu as well as local beers. Perfect for get togethers, date nights, or just time with yourself and a good book. The list of reds, whites, and sparkling wines is extensive and range in regional origins. Seriously, there is a bottle for any taste in this place. The food is also fresh prepared and amazing. We weren't too hungry so decided to grab a charcuterie board to pair with our wine. Fresh, delicious, and well presented. Overall, 9/10. Can't wait to go back! read more

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 read more

The Attic Door is one of my favorite places I have visited in Winter Garden. My sister introduced me to this place when I moved here and I am always impressed when I dine here. They have the coolest decor--curtains draped on the walls, an eclectic but comfy arrangement of furniture, and they often have live music playing. My husband and I tried the date night menu this week. It comes with an appetizer, 2 entrees, and a dessert for $60! We got the flatbread, meatloaf, and strawberry bread pudding. We ate the strawberry bread pudding too quickly to take a picture, but everything was delicious. The people who work here are super genuine and kind. Love all the staff here. We will definitely back time and time again! read more

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. read more

i was very upset with this place. this one lady, don't know if she's the manager or hostess or i don't even know but she is a terrible employee. old lady with glasses, but she is a rude person. my family and i went out for dinner a little after Christmas and once again like ive heard from my parents, she is just not a good person or employee. we asked the server multiple times about the meatloaf and they had it, just to say later in the night now they didn't because the kitchen guy was overwhelmed.. mmkay. makes me angry when i see my parents spending a lot of money to get bad service. i'd personally not like to go back here. read more

Stopped by for an after dinner drink and dessert. The hostess was super helpful. The beer choices are extensive, and the flourless chocolate torte was so good that I didn't share. Loved the ambiance with live music and a wide variety of patrons. read more

Was here last night for dinner and everything was amazing. Highly recommend if in the area.

Kim is there !! Best manager ever ! My daughter and I went to the new sushi place and wanted an after dinner drink. The bartender was friendly and recommended the best wine ! Sat at the bar, music was playing and had a blast with 2 of the regulars ! read more

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. read more

Disappointed. I've enjoyed this restaurant in the past for its food and live music, so I was excited to bring friends to showcase how great it is. Unfortunately, this visit was far from my expectations. The ribeye was one of the worst cuts I've ever had--tough and flavorless. The risotto was undercooked, and it wasn't just my plate--another family at our table had the same dish, and theirs was equally hard and uncooked. The saving grace was the salmon, which was as excellent as always. After paying the bill (as I didn't want it to seem like I was avoiding payment), I spoke to the manager, who seemed genuinely surprised and apologized. I hope this was just a one-off experience, but it left me disappointed after what has previously been a favorite spot. Plus on the bruschetta, I always ask w/o garlic and yes the mix already include small amount of garlic, but I get a different bread, this time the waitress said they could not even change the bread. Wow I am baffle about my favorite place in WG. Huge change in quality. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

This is the perfect place to grab a glass of wine. The service is always good and the live music always fits the vibe perfectly!

Had a mother/daughter night here and we were lucky enough to get Tarin as our server. She was delightful, positive, friendly, attentive, and allowed us time to sit, chat and relax. They have a great beer and wine selection. I went with the sangria and tried both the white and red - they were both great and full of flavor! We started with deviled eggs (minus the jalepenos) and the bruschetta. They were both good and we enjoyed the flavors of both. For my meak I went with the sizzling garlic shrimp. I was not disappointed since it was hot, great flavor, and a good portion size so it was filling, but not too much food. The ambiance is very cozy and the live music was a nice touch that was not too loud so you could still have a conversation. Fun night out and can't wait to come in for an afternoon tea! read more

Now under the new ownership of Laurie and Kevin Tarter of the Chef's Table and Tasting Room across the street, the Attic Door has reached its full potential as a chill place to hang out and enjoy good food, wines, beer and live music. Long-time fans will find that all of the Attic Door's best features have been retained, but the food is now an order of magnitude better, the wine list more interesting, the beers vastly more interesting, and the seating more comfortable, and better suited to enjoying the food while listening to the excellent live music. The service has the friendly professionalism you would expect from these experienced owners. There's a passion here to make everything just right for guests. There will also be an afternoon tea some days. Hearing about the research that has already gone into selecting the teas and scone recipes makes me excited to experience another unique offering. The attic Door is definitely most chill place to hang out in Winter Garden. read more

Great happy hour & dessert! Why eat dinner when you can just skip to dessert and bubbly! This place had great service and the outside seating was great. The bourbon street bread pudding was amazing however, the portion for the price wasn't on par. The serving size of this dessert is more like a kids dessert size. The sangria was not so good, I had to send it back and I really hate doing that but they were kind and swapped it out for sparkling wine and for a $5 sparkling wine on happy hour. It was actually pretty good. read more

The Attic Door is one of my favorite happy hour spots for drinks in downtown Winter Garden, and I often find myself staying for dinner and music as well. I have gone a few times, and each tie the experience is a little different. Service is always on point, and the fun quirky decor is a welcome change from the ultra modern vibe of everything else on Plant Street. You can tell this joint has been around for some time. The drink prices are great - that's why we come. But we have never felt the food is a good value. The portions are small and everything is overpriced, even for tapas. I really knocked a star off because every time I've tried to make a reservation for a large group, it has either been impossible to get a hold of anyone, or we have been turned away due to not having enough seating at specific times of the night, even if I'm calling months in advance. I know they have changed their system recently, but it's still not large-group friendly, even booking online. So I would say if you have a large group, this isn't your spot. But if you want a change of scenery and to enjoy some good music and cheap(er) drinks, check it out! read more

Great place for afternoon tea. I was so excited to hear that under new ownership they would offer afternoon tea on the weekends. I am a big fan and I am always on the hunt for a new spot. The tea selection is all Flordia local and very versatile list. We went with the Earl Grey Lavender and Lavendar Citrus Sage. These were both excellent choices. They only offer a preset afternoon tea menu but that is exactly what we would have ordered anyways. I would make a suggestion maybe down the road offering a couple tiers for guests who want the whole afternoon tea and a lighter option. (Just a thought) Now on the food. It was a tasty three tiered array of goodies. They had four different finger sandwiches our favorites were the curry chicken on raisin bread (great combo of flavors) and the cucumber cream cheese (the flavor was amazing just needed a few more peices of cucumber for me personally). The second tier was filled with smoked salmon with cream cheese and spinach tarlets and my personal favorite golden raisin scones served with clotted cream and strawberry jam. The scone is the best part so I always save it for last. These scones crumbly with the right amount of denseness. The third and final tier was a good mix of sweets. I personally loved the vanilla cake with apricot citrus filling topped with a light whipped cream. They also had macaroons and chocolate truffles. Overall it was a wonderful experience and a relaxed comformable setting. Afternoon tea in the center of Winter Garden is a great addition to the community. We will be back for sure. read more

I wish there were more places like Attic Door around. This is a great wine bar/ lounge that serves food tapas style and has a wide assortment of wines to choose from. We stopped in before an event in Downtown Winter Garden. They have outdoor seating, which is a great place to sit and people watch. Inside the decor is very eclectic with a very cool, relaxing vibe. Most of the tables are small (think bistro style or cocktail table but low to ground). Most seating is for small parties, but they do have areas wheee you can easily accommodate a larger group. Chairs a comfortable, most are upholstered club-type chairs where you can sit back and relax. It's a perfect setting to relax and unwind and catch up with friends. Or to come after a dinner date and have another glass of wine. Most of the food is tapas style which makes them perfect to order several to share with your party. We had the salmon plate which was really good and went well with the house Cabernet we ordered. My photo doesn't show how much there was but there was ample amounts of smoked salmon. It also came with a cream cheese spread, capers, red onion, tomatoes and chopped hard boiled egg. I would definitely order this again. We also ordered the Tuscan Bruschetta, which I wasn't too impressed with so not sure I'd order that again. The Cheese Board had a nice selection of cheeses and we also ordered another item - I think it was flatbread - that had avocado, which was really good. Service was very friendly and they were able to answer any questions we had. I'm sure this will be a place we go to frequently. read more
