Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Lake Mary

Amazing time spent at Shula’s for Valentine’s Day. Everything was perfect. Our service was amazing and the food was as good as ever!

This was our first time dining here, and it exceeded our expectations and then some! Our server was Elizabeth. She was so knowledgeable of the menu & recommended the Japanese milk bread, which is to DIE FOR! Definitely a must try when dining at F&D. It was Valentine’s Day, we were a little late for our reservation, but they were so kind & sat us with no problem at all. I was even given a rose for the occasion. Our sweet server, Elizabeth, gifted us a box of chocolate & sweet card at the end of the meal. If I could eat here for breakfast, lunch & dinner, I totally would. To start I ordered the French onion soup. 8/10 only because the cheese wasn’t as melted as I would like! But the taste was absolutely phenomenal. Portion size was 10/10, I couldn’t finish the bowl. I got the scallops for my main dish which were, more than amazing! Large & perfectly cooked. To drink I had an espresso martini, again, absolutely outstanding. Probably the best I’ve ever had. My husband had the NY strip blackened & I helped him gobble that down too. We shared a side of mashed potatoes. My man is picky with his potatoes and he gave them an 11/10. We left here stuffed, but not feeling terrible and sickly. We will definitely be regulars here. The price is not bad at all considering the quality and experience you are getting. Love this place!

We love Enzo’s!! Everything was perfection from the cocktails (Old Fashioned and Manhattan) we had in the bar to our table (view of the garden and lake) and the entire dinner experience. My beef carpaccio (my fave) and penne pasta with vodka sauce were delicious. My husband’ s caprese salad was very flavorful and he had a hard time not picking up his bone-in pork chop to get every lick of meat off of it. It was paired with perfectly sauced acini pasta. Our wine choices were great, and the tiramisu we shared was divine. Perfect evening.

The beef tenderloin was delicious but I would have preferred medium rare 🙂 My guest had the prime rib, cooked medium rare to perfection and the cut was amazing for the price 😯The asparagus with the tenderloin was a bit overspiced and not as tender to my liking🫤 Overall the food was outstanding and our server was above excellent 🙂

Wonderful dining experience. We met the Manager, Scott who was the nicest, friendliest person who went above and beyond to make our dinner so very special. You see....we lost our precious daughter, Jenna 20 months ago. It was sudden and traumatic. The Boathouse and the Fillet Mignon sliders were here favorite. Her last birthday Orlando celebration in February 2023 was so special. We lost her suddenly in June 2023. We live on Long Island, we visit 3 to 4 times per year and T.J. has always taken care of us. Thank you to the staff at Tje Boathouse, T.J. and Scott for helping us through our grief at Jenna's favorite restaurant. You help to heal my heart! Sincerely, Jayne Hudson💜💜💜
