It's not a complicated concept here as everything dive bar is not only embraced, it is celebrated. The one rule they enforce (oddly) is no wearing of hats within the establishment. On my first night here, and first drink order, the bartender said I had to remove my hat. This big guy with a giant ZZ Top type beard is otherwise a very friendly and cordial guy who keeps the drinks flowing. There were a couple of pool tables and a jukebox, so I fired that up with some dollar bills to keep the soundtrack rocking. If I was a marketing wizard The Crown's slogan would be "Walk in, stagger out!" The only negative is the second hand smoke, but once you get your drink on it's barely noticeable.

Food and drinks are easy to get. Your server comes right to your bay, or you can order at the bar. We tried the mozzarella sticks, sliders, cheese pizza, and margherita pizza. The food was decent. Nothing particularly memorable, but perfectly fine for snacking while enjoying drinks and hitting balls. There are also plenty of things to do beyond the driving range. Kids will enjoy the small play area, and there's ping pong and a putting green, making it easy to entertain everyone in your group. The view really is the star of the show. It's beautiful, and being up on one of Clermont's rolling hills gives you a nice breeze, even on a hot Florida summer day. Who knew Florida had hills? After a couple of hours, though, the heat definitely caught up with us. We planned to cool off by having dinner inside, but on a Saturday evening the restaurant was packed. We probably could have waited for a table, but the indoor dining area was quite warm, so we ended up heading somewhere else for dinner. Overall, we had a great time. It's a fun outing for both kids and adults, and I'd definitely recommend it for an afternoon or evening with friends or family. Just keep in mind that during the hotter months, you'll probably want to go later in the day or on a cooler evening.

The ambience in the restaurant is really nice; we were greeted promptly and chose seats at the bar. The bartender and an assistant helped in the evening, and they were attentive to keep drinks filled and food orders moving. During dinner, the chef actually delivered our food and followed up seeking feedback, which really impressed us. He was unobtrusive, friendly and genuine. The drink specials are great, so take a look at them to be sure you know what is available. Sangrias were in special the night we visited, and it was a great choice. We tried the spicy ceviche with shrimp and tostados as an appetizer, and that's was absolutely delicious. Spicy but not uncomfortably; it was perfectly balanced. Our main dishes were the Saltado, my husband got beef and I got the chicken. Both were so good! Plentiful portions over (unexpectedly!) fried, and all of it awesome. We really enjoyed our dinner!

We opted for the alcoholic drinks, but if I came again, I'd opt for the mocktails, as both we ordered were crazy light pours. The food was pretty good. The highlights for me were the fries, onion rings, and the jalapeño ranch, which I suspect is housemade. The burgers were decent, but mine came out pretty much well done, when I ordered medium rare. Took the key lime pie to go, and it was good! Overall, worth a visit. They certainly have a great location.

When you arrive the parking lot connects to a walkway that is lined with tiki torches they light up after the sun goes down leading you to the bar area and then the restaurants tables on the docks. The open facing lake view is absolutely gorgeous, when you get to the restaurant area you can pick any open table and a server meets you promptly. They have everything from fresh seafood, delicious burgers, and crisp fried side options like tater tots, onion rings, and of course French fries. We ordered their Mushroom, Onion and Swiss Cheeseburger and the Smokin' Jalapeno Burger! Both were solid burgers with 1/2 lb angus beef thick patty and great flavor combinations. Ordered some drinks from the bar that were refreshing and for dessert we split the Key Lime pie that is a MUST order (sorry not sorry Publix)! For amazing views, great food, and relaxing vibes, I highly recommend making your way out here soon! We will be back to try out some of their seafood and specials very soon!

Unfortunately, the margaritas completely ruined the experience for me. They tasted like they were premade, and when I asked about them, my server mentioned they use a tequila made specifically for the restaurant. Whatever the reason, they just weren't good. I usually look forward to a margarita at a Mexican restaurant, and these were some of the worst I've had. I'd still come back for the food, but I'd definitely skip the drinks next time.

I've been dying to try Huarike Peruvian Cuisine, the somewhat new restaurant in downtown Clermont…read moreever since they opened, but life kept getting in the way. As a huge fan of Peruvian cuisine, I've eaten at many restaurants in California, New Jersey, and New York, so I was excited to see how this one compared. I stopped in for lunch on Monday with a friend and ordered the Lomo Saltado with fried eggs and sweet plantains (well worth the extra cost), along with their garlic rice. My verdict? It was hands down the best Lomo Saltado I've ever had. The rich, savory sauce, incredibly tender beef, and perfectly sweet plantains were absolutely amazing. I almost licked the plate clean! The portion was huge, and even though I should have taken some home, it was just too good to stop eating. The fried egg took it to another level, and the garlic rice may have been the best rice I've ever had. Trust me--when an Asian guy tells you the rice is incredible, you know it's good! For dessert, I ordered the Tres Leches Tiramisu with flaming rum, and I had to record it because the presentation was so impressive. I honestly couldn't believe how delicious it was. Every bite was pure heaven. I've been dreaming about that dessert for days! The service was just as memorable as the food. Our waitress, Julianna, was warm, professional, and made the entire experience special. Her dessert presentation was outstanding. The owner needs to give her a raise--and whatever you do, don't let her leave! Manager Diana also stopped by our table to check on us. She was so friendly and funny, and together they made us feel like family. The restaurant itself is beautiful. The decor is elegant and romantic, complete with a fireplace inside and a gorgeous outdoor patio that gave off serious Miami vibes. A+ all around. Unfortunately I was with a dude so there was absolutely no romantic vibe This place exceeded every expectation I had. Amazing food, incredible desserts, outstanding service, and a beautiful atmosphere. I can't wait to bring my whole family back. Thank you for being part of the Clermont community. You've definitely earned a loyal customer!

It was pretty busy during that time and you can tell this is a popular spot among locals in the area. They have both indoor and outdoor patio seating, but we opted for inside since it was such a hot day and our son was with us. We ordered some yuca for my son to nibble on and we started off with some of their signature cocktails. My husband got their Origen classic Peruvian sour and I went with the Tropical Passion which is a passion fruit version of the classic. Both drinks were beautiful. I love the frothiness this cocktail gets from the egg white and it was very refreshing. I was craving ceviche and I was happy to see that they have a whole ceviche bar menu with different selections to choose from. They all sounded amazing, but I decided to go with the servers recommendation and got the mixed Aji Amarillo Ceviche which contains fish, shrimp, octopus, and calamari in aji amarillo tiger milk, with onion, cilantro, sweet potato and peruvian corn. It was a huge serving and more than enough for me to eat as my meal (since I was not planning on sharing, haha). The tiger milk was perfection which is one the main things I love about Peruvian ceviche. All the seafood was tender and fresh - even the calamari rings which I am particular about. My husband got their signature Fettuccine Huancaina which is lomo saltado (steak) served over fettuccine with huancaina sauce and pecorino cheese. It was delicious and he loved every bite. Sadly, we were too stuffed for dessert but those also sounded amazing. Next time! The staff was so friendly and accommodating -- we'll definitely be back.

Unfortunately, by the time his food came, we are all done eating and he lost his appetite from waiting so long. The standout, though, was the Ghirardelli chocolate brownie sundae.
