Restaurants near Candlewood Suites Lake Mary

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!

This restaurant should run the government lol We went on Valentine’s Day (usually a day of mediocre service and food due to crowds). Not fishbones! The staff was bending over backwards hustling - everyone working together efficiently. The food was perfectly prepared - no detail was lacking. It’s always a consistently outstanding experience no matter the day time or holiday. I always love the Chilean sea bass and the dang bang shrimp. The steak is also pure perfection. This time we tried the shrimp cocktail and….wow. HUGE shrimp with an exceptional flavor and texture. The cost is always shocking but I’ve never had anything that didn’t feel worth the price. We love to come here for special occasions.

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 🙂

The service is outstanding...Always! This time Sophie was our server...She was great! The food...Delicious. Always love to spend our "special" dinners at Ruth's in Lake Mary!
