Palm Tree Grille & Bar

We’re locals and went with a group tonight. My husband and I wanted to share a dish and the server said they had a sharing charge that included a soup or salad for both people and splitting the entrée for us. –We normally don’t agree to this, but we were with a group so we went along. However, the entrée arrived in just one dish, and they didn’t even bring an extra dish for us to divvy it up ourselves! When I asked why they didn’t do what they’d represented, she said the kitchen wouldn’t split it because it wouldn’t look nice. I told her to take it back and split it (and it looked just fine-​!?). It was now cold by the time we got it. When the check came, they charged us a $ 2 splitting charge AND $ 5 for the soup that was supposed to come with it.
Additionally, when we were ordering the wine, the server didn’t know what chianti was.

Worse dining experience ever and I am a positive person. The soup was burned the steak tasted like liver and the service was atrocious

We were so disappointed today during the Mt. Dora art show. Both the burger and pulled pork were at room temp when we were served as though they were precooked. We mentioned to our serner, Stacey M. and all she could offer was that she would «let them know». We were there before the lunch rush, too. After spending $ 40 for lunch without even having the gm come to speak to us we will definitely never go there again. Bad customer service and food that was unsafe to serve!!!

Absolutely terrible service. Waited 20 minutes to order, and then about 45 for only HALF of the food to arrive. Some of the food was cold, and the waiter didn’t even bother to acknowledge the issue. Terrible way to waste our afternoon of sightseeing in Mount Dora.

The server was organizing the wine but kindly told us to choose a table. He came shortly after and handed us the menu — that’s the last we saw of him. Several waiters passed by. No one came over for water, drinks, nothing… So disappointing. After half an hour of sitting, we just left.
Cute little spot, wine selection looked great. I was looking forward to trying the penne vodka but service left me too bitter.

We walked in at 5:50pm on the 1^st day of the year. The host or sommelier told us know they were closing at 6PM we asked if it was too late and he said no, that it wasn’t a problem as he handed us the clip board menus.
We looked at the menu and decided what we wanted, and then we waited, and waited… a server passed by and said she’d be right with us.
20 minutes later we had no water, or even recognition that we were waiting.
We kindly got up and said we’re leaving, the server then appeared and didn’t even apologize.
I found it rude, they should of just told us the kitchen was closed instead of ignoring us.

My wife and I stumbled upon this place while on our 3^rd visit to Mt. Dora. Amazing food! Wonderful service (Chris was our waiter — excellent attention to detail and knowledge of the menu. My wife says he deserves a raise :-)
Wish we’d found this place on our first visit to the area!

I am so glad we decided to have lunch here, we found a gem! I love Goat cheese and chefs who use this precious king of all cheeses. I enjoyed the best flatbread of my life here, Goat cheese, Pesto, and Tomato drizzled with what I think was a Balsamic reduction sauce. My wife had amazing ahi tuna tacos. We cannot at this time see ourselves ever enjoying just another fish taco again. These were, for us, the pinnacle in fish tacos. The coleslaw was delicious and complimented the Ahi perfectly. Great craft beer selection, and my wife said the Margaritas were «the best», which is saying quite a bit, as she is a real margarita lover. Service was outstanding and everything was clean. We can’t wait to return this fall!

It’s been a while since we’ve been here so thought we would have a nice birthday dinner… WRONG!!! Awful food. It used to be good. Don’t know what happened. Sooo disappointed. Don’t waste your time. Hit up the Copacabana just down the block. Please.

Despite the reviews I thought this place was really good. They have a unique menu and the vibe is cool and relaxing. Also the prices were great.
I had a burger with bacon, cheese and a fried egg. The burger was delicious and moist! Really really good.
The side salad was loaded with original toppings like chickpeas, pickled carrots and house-​made dressing.
Only complaint was the service was slow. We were one of only a few tables and felt like the pace was scattered.
Overall I would still recommend dining here.

If I had read the reviews before my cousin spotted the restaurant, I don’t know if I had gone in. But I didn’t.
And it was a great dining experience.
We were here on a day trip from Orlando, walking by and decided it was a good place for a late lunch. We were a party of 8 persons, we were seated quickly, drink orders taken (and filled) quickly. Jarrett explained the specials, took orders, kept up on refills, without seeming like he was hovering over us (although one young lady from Wales wished he was around more). All the entrees were really nice, presented from the kitchen well and everyone really enjoyed the. I had the burger, which was huge, cooked to perfection. Several persons ordered the venison sausage — which they raved about!
I would recommend that if you tried this place a year or more ago, to give it another try. If I was in town again, I would go there again.

Located in the center of Mt Dora we were disappointed with our afternoon meal.
Its a nice place with only indoor seating serving Italian inspired cuisine and lots of hamburgers on the menu.
Atmosphere 75 Clean and modern you probably have been there
Service 75 Okay
Food 75 Really not that good.
Value 75 Average prices.
I would not return. There are just too many restaurants in the area to give this place a second chance. that is, unless, I am really interested in a hamburger!
