The Attic Door

This is a nice restaurant located in the downtown Winter Garden. I like the vintage decor and aesthetic of this place. They also have a live music here which is super nice and not too loud. We got the $55 dinner date. You get an appetizer, 2 mains, and a dessert, which is a great deal. The Chicken Marsala was nice, but it took a while to come out. Not all the food came out at the same time so our friends almost finished the food before ours came out.

My first impression was not a WAO: -difficult to find as the sign is small on wall, not like other restaurants on same street that are well lid/bigger. -waiter was excellent, very cheerful and apologized for a Gumbo that WAS NOT, to be honest-a disaster which was served with a fork. I’ve eaten real gumbo from the hands that knows how to cook it. Not only was cold, a meager watery portion with hard grain of rice that tasted as it was from the day prior or someone elses un-eaten portion. The pieces of chicken were from the pieces close to bones which were hard to touch. I could not even stomach putting that terrible concoction in my mouth. The person cooking it had no pride on cookin, neither on presentation. On top of it it was not pocket change the price per plate we paid on 4 = $225+ tip.

Went with my wife and daughter on Saturday night. My wife and I had been once before and enjoyed but for some reason had not returned. We had a great experience again. We ordered the appetizer tower and everything was outstanding. Although designed for two people it was great to share with three of us. After that my wife and daughter shared the wok noodles and added chicken. While they said it was good they did feel it was overpriced, which was opposite of what we felt the value of the tower was…outstanding. I finished with the seasonal bread pudding which was incredible. Service was great as was the live music (We also appreciated that the music was not too loud). Really cool, unique spot that we will be sure to frequent more regularly.

I’m so glad that I found this restaurant while staying in the Winter Garden area for the week! The delicious food is served tapas style so prepare to share, and eat as the food comes out. The live music was excellent, not too loud and chill songs. Excellent beer and wine list. We made a reservation which is a good idea, especially on the weekends. We had a guest with a dairy allergy and our server Sahara was incredibly patient, hospitable and kind, with the many, many requests from our guest. She deserves a medal! Highly recommend for a date night or family dinner.

Excellent date night spot! Dark interior with eclectic furnishings. Such a vibe! On my visit I very much enjoyed the live music which was acoustic guitar and very intimate. Service was great and our server was very attentive. Happy hour specials were solid. Dinner menu is diverse with something for everyone. Vegetarians would be perfectly fine here. Food came out relatively fast considering the kitchen is small…they seemed to be cranking out to food. Kudos to The Attic Door! This first timer will be back
