Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Windermere

First time and planning to return soon! The Maduros French Toast 🤩👏🏼👏🏼 everyone must try!!! The patio view it’s amazing and Carlos was so nice. Thanks to the entire crew!

Another incredible night at AVA! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was buzzing with energy. The cocktails were expertly crafted and delicious, the perfect start to our meal. But the real star of the show was the salt-crusted branzino – it was cooked to perfection and absolutely divine. And a huge shoutout to our server, Arian, who was attentive, friendly, and made our evening truly special. AVA continues to impress, and we can't wait to go back!

Food: Amazing. Love, love , love the queso. Ordered the steak tacos platter with the flour tortillas. So great!! Always yummy. Drinks were made well and the mixed properly. Not watered down. Service: Our server Noeli ( Sorry, unsure of how to spell her name,) was absolutely AMAZING. It was Valentine’s Day weekend but we did not feel like it was at all. She was extremely communicative and very prompt. We have not experienced service this great in quite some time! Absolutely phenomenal. She deserves to be a manager and train new servers in how to execute amazing service regardless of a busy environment. Ambiance: Valentine’s Day weekend. Very busy. There was a bit of a wait even with reservations but it was lovely. There was a DJ on site and it was a great vibe.

Aside from the food, it was the service that was memorable. The server for me and my fiancee was Cynthia. She was absolutely amazing! Despite being run ragged by the full house that night it did not stop her from being warm and gracious. She accommodated my fiancee who has allergies and even selected her drink to try. As younger people just starting out our careers, she made us feel welcomed in such a swanky environment lol. I'm sure the rest of the staff is just good but Cynthia was another level.

While we were halfway through our appetizers, they brought out our meal. It’s not like the place was full and they needed the table. That was a turn-off. The food was good.
