    This place has amazing food, and amazing service. Andreea our server was amazing. I Highly will recommend to try this place out if you want to taste Easter European food.

    Borshch
    Angie V.

    Had a quick lunch here. We have ordered 2 plate of Borshch, Syrniki and Grilled Sausage plate. Everything was very good and tasty. On top of that the serving was also nice and polite. We enjoyed our lunch time here.

    Chicken Parmesan

    I'm surprised this place isn't busy all the time! It was mostly empty when we arrived. They have booths along the side and tables in the middle and left side of the restaurant. I was surprised by the music playing, it was a very good mix of different genres in all languages. The food: They give you garlic knots while you wait. I ordered the chicken parmesan which was good once I added some parmesan cheese. The Mendalioane de Porc in Sos de Ciuperci was amazing. We also ordered a Greek salad. For dessert we chose honey cake - a Romanian dessert, it was amazinggggggg, I will be back for more.

    Good place, pleasant atmosphere, good authentic Romanian food and drinks. Had a business dinner here, Daniela the waitress was pleasant, knowledgeable and she impressed my colleagues. We shared few appetizers- salade de boeuf (potato salad with a Romanian accent), polenta with feta cheese and a very specific cheese pie. For main course, my fried meat with polenta and garlic sauce was good, plus the pickles. Had a Romanian Sauvignon Blanc. We all shared crepes for dessert

    Beer + Samarle is a good combo for lunch here!

    My wife and I wanted to try this place for a while, finally made it here in after new years. My beautiful wife is Romanian so it's always good to find a place to dine with good mititei and samarle. Is the food good? Well, my wife makes the best, but this would come close to second

    Authentic quality Eastern Europe food can be found here. Very nice cozy restaurant. I wasn't able to eat here because of a wedding. I originally ordered beef borscht, supreme pizza and a Napolean dessert. Unfortunately, borscht was unavailable but I substituted for the pelemeni. Everything was excellent! I'm definitely going back to try more menu item.

    A year ago, I couldn't find any Eastern European restaurant in Orlando, and I am in love with Russian food especially Borch! I am glad that finally we have such a nice restaurant in town with delicious foods! I have tried cutlet, borch, dumplings and pizza! I am very picky with pizza and this place has the best one! I love this place

    The Grilled Sausages
    James T.

    Great food and portions. The dough on the baked items is great. The fries were excellent. The pickled red peppers and tomato's were wonderful. The brine has a surprising spice. Was a great experience and will definitely go back

    Lamb chops
    Joyce L.

    I read reviews online and wanted to try this place. When we got there my husband and I were hesitant to go inside cause it was empty at 6pm on a Saturday. We went in and was seated immediately. The decor was a little strange to me, had this club/traditional feel to it. There were rounded booths for more intimacy or regular tables and the lighting wasn't too dark but yet it wasn't bright. The music playing was a loud funkadelic style to it. Our orders were taken and we were served quickly. Another customer walked in 10 minutes after we did and occasionally people, I assume friends walked in to say hi to the wait staff and then left. Our food came...we ordered the fried calamari which had too much breading but not enough crunch. I ordered the cabbage rolls and stuffed grape leaves with grilled veggies and my husband had the lamb chops and polenta but they put the polenta on my plate and the grilled veggies on his plate. I told them it was fine. The cabbage rolls were ok and the grape leaves could've had more texture. My husband thought the lamb chops were excellent. He preferred a Black Russian drink which was good. We didn't order dessert though. It's a fairly new establishment I'm assuming and work does need to be done to find it's identity. There is some room for improvement though but some positives as well.

    Awesome food and great customer service, restaurant was almost empty when we reached but before we left it's get full. But still they could manage to give us personalized service

On both occasions, the service was spectacular. The restaurant itself is very cute and located in Winter Park. Reservations are accepted in advance and are highly recommended, especially if you're coming with a larger group. I was a little disappointed that there was no live music during Sunday brunch, but it didn't take away from the overall experience. The drinks are fantastic. Of course, I had my espresso martini, and I also tried their mimosa, both were great. Overall, the food was good. My only criticism was that my salmon was slightly overcooked, which made it a bit tough. However, the flavors were still excellent and helped make up for it. Overall, we had a fantastic time.

    European Corner - A Taste of Europe at the Merritt Square Mall…read more Late one Friday morning a group of us met here for lunch. It was a very warm morning & the tables in the large covered outdoor patio were unoccupied. As soon as we entered, we noticed that the restaurant, itself, was warm. Individually two of us requested an adjustment to the A/C but it was not possible. Unfortunately, for us, that meant that we were a bit uncomfortable throughout the meal. After we were seated, our pretty server who hailed from Russia presented us with menus & filled our water glasses. She then left a basket filled with warm delicious rolls attractively lined in linen napkins. While we waited for the rest of our party to arrive, I glanced around the restaurant appreciating its lovely ambiance. We sat a table for six covered in pale peach tablecloths. Inside the matching linen napkins was our silverware. A small vase of flowers on the tables added other notes of color and elegance to the room. The walls were a beautiful blue or warm golden yellow color. There was a nice-sized bar at one end of the room with a full selection of alcohol available. The beer selection was quite extensive. Long Curtains on the outside windows filtered the view of the mall parking lot. Music played in the background. I felt like I was back in Europe. The menu is not overwhelming but there are enough choices to please everyone in our party. I cannot even pronounce my selection even though I ask a friend next to me who has lived all over Europe to repeat it several times to me. In the end, I just point to my choice and we all laugh. Let us see how YOU do with the pronunciation. It is Pljeskavica Gourmet, $12.95. I have ordered it here, several times before, so you would think by now that I could pronounce it. The dish is Ground Beef & Pork, stuffed with Cheese and Bacon, served with Fries and Chopped Onion. It arrives with a small amount of a freshly chopped tomato sauce. It tastes delicious - like Meatloaf. My European friend seating next to me starts with a bowl of Cream of Mushroom Soup, $3.45 served piping hot and she declares that it is very good. She then orders a Caesar Salad, $4.95 that arrives on a large chilled plate with lots of very fresh green lettuce, croutons, a generous sprinkling of Shredded Cheese & a tasty Caesar Dressing. We are all surprised at the many wedges of ripened tomatoes surrounding the salad. How unusual! Later, she orders the Crepes for Dessert, $4.45 (choose - with Nutella, Walnuts or Honey.) She is happy with its preparation. The server brings her some plum preserve to top the crepes. My sister orders the Philly Cheese Sandwich, $8.95 that consists of Shaved Prime Beef, Onion, Pepper, Mushroom and Cheese, which she thoroughly enjoys. Serving the sandwich sliced makes for neater eating. Another diner at our table orders the Shopska Salad, $4.95 that constitutes of Tomato, Cucumber, Pepper, Onion and Feta Cheese. It arrives on a chilled plate and looks very fresh and appetizing. Our final diner orders the Chicken Breast with Cheese Sandwich, $6.95. We are all satisfied with the food. Someday I want to order the Crème Brulee for dessert. There are many choices for coffee including Cappuccino (and Double Cappuccino) but with the room so warm, I pass on the coffee - maybe another time. The service at our lunchtime visit is good too. Our server refills our water glasses without any reminders. She patiently explains any menu questions that we have and is quite attentive to our needs. There is only one other diner in the restaurant luckily for us. Our only other negative beside the lack of adequate A/C is that the server requests that we pay in cash for meals costing less than $10.00. For one diner this is a big problem and she has to order an additional item to bring up her bill. I have never run intro this at a sit down restaurant before so be aware of this if you decide to dine here for Breakfast or Lunch. The restaurant's Cyber Café, separate from the dining area, is also quite popular with the staff/crew from the several Cruise Lines that dock at nearby Port Canaveral.

Stella's continues to impress with fresh ingredients and absolutely incredible bread. I wasn't sure since it being 2 years since I was here if they would have the breakfast I had last time.

The eggs were perfectly cooked, the chorizo added a great smoky-spicy kick, and the heirloom tomatoes were sweet and juicy. The arugula balanced everything out with a slight peppery bite, and the ciabatta toast was just amazing--crispy on the outside, soft inside, and perfect with the preserve. I also had the Jamón Serrano Sandwich & split it with my bf. It was just as good as it sounds.

It looks like a store from the outside but I did see someone sitting inside sipping wine so I was intrigued. As you walk in, there is a spacious seating area at the front of the store. Then it kind of transitions into a market store. There is a counter you order food at and pay for items. There is a small bar with seating next to that as well. We browsed the market items and picked up a couple of items. We went to the counter to pay and that is when I realized you can order food and drinks. If you order something that takes time to prepare, it is brought to you at a table. Since I ordered a glass of wine, I just waited there for it and went to sit. Hubs retrieved a beer from the fridge. The owner was the individual we interacted with and he was very pleasant. There was constant traffic the entire time we were there so I hope that means they will remain in business. The prices were not too crazy and it is a perfect place to have a drink and/ or gourmet snacks. I definitely want to return and try other items on the menu.
