    Cory is an incredible server. I attended for my birthday and everything was super cute and I received a free birthday dessert. Even on the menu there was a personalized menu printed “Happy Birthday” and I got to meet the chef for the night. What an incredible experience. Thank you to all the staff

    I never write reviews but this restaurant really deserves it! Choose it searching on web for my bday and I am so happy I did so. They really made my bday special giving me a menu which says Happy Birthday! What a detail! Details are what make life beautiful! Thanks 1921. That said the food was amazing. Its been a long time that I dont eat sooo good! We had the trout dip, incredible and delicate flavor. And after short ribs and halibut as entrees, both were amazing! Again thanks 1921 for an amazing experience for us at Mt. Dora!

    All 3 of us were extremely disappointed in our meals. I had scallops with root vegetables and it was tasteless. None of us finished our meals. I don’t mind paying for good quality food but this was not it. The service was good. But I will not be returning to 1921.

    It started out well. The pumpkin soup was amazing. My husband liked his scallops. I ordered Dr Joe’s chicken and it was a little weird for my taste. The herbed spaetzle was undercooked as well as the margeaux zipper peas . It came in a weird sauce which I was told had duck in it. The chicken was dry. On a good note the goat cheesecake was delicious. I would not recommend this restaurant as it had things on the menu that I had to look up to see what it was. Maybe if I was a chef I would know. The restaurant was beautiful and the staff was very good.

    Wagyu Burger with the hand cut fries were excellent and perfectly prepared. Also ordered the braised beef short ribs, the sauce was perfect. Enjoyed with a nice bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon. Service was at the right pace. Really a very nice evening out.

    We have been to 1921 on several occasions and it never disappoints! From outstanding service to the incredible cuisine, 1921 is truly one of our favorite restaurants. On our most recent visit , we sat at a high top in the bar area. We have always sat in the main dining area, but we found the bar area to be a pleasant experience as well. We chose the ribs for an appetizer, and I can honestly say I think they were the most delicious I have ever had! While the menu continually changes, there is always something for everyone. We look forward to returning soon!

    Best food on our entire trip thru Feranandina Beach, Charleston, and Savannah. The osyer with toasted coconut was so unique. The pumpkin soup with the pumpkin granola wa sublime. My main course of the sea bass was great with spaghetti squash. The pineapple basil sorbet was truly different and tasty.

    My absolute favorite restaurant in Florida. The truest farm to table experience you can get. No ingredient is commercial; everything is sourced from local small farms and you can taste that in every bite. The artisan cheese board is a must have. And the wagyu steak.

    Great experience all around. Food was excellent. Waiter was helpful, friendly, and made good recommendations. Although a bit "clunky" there was even a small lift so my parents could get to the restroom. (Someone had previously told me it was not accessible - that is WRONG.) To make it even better, there was an issue with the open table certificate we had - the manager went above and beyond to solve. Very impressed - we will be back.

    Our service was wonderful from the time we walked in the door. Server was attentive but not overly. Which we liked. Food presentation was great and everything was delicious!! Our only complaint was it got a little noisy, maybe some sound tiles to absorb noise would be good. Overall a wonderful experience!!

    Another great dinner at 1921. Appetizers were stellar including roasted oysters, baby back ribs and quail! My NY strip steak was cooked to perfection. Cheesecake for dessert as well as the corn ice cream (!) was excellent. Wine service unsurpassed. Patrick, our waiter, could not have been better — great service, friendly, professional! With Chef Chris in the kitchen, the best restaurant in Orlando is actually in Mt Dora!

    We are from St Petersburg and wanted to escape the city for your 3rd anniversary so we headed to Mount Dora to spend the afternoon and have a nice dinner. We made a reservation here based off of other reviews and we were not disappointed! This place is a big city, high quality, impressive restaurant in the heart of small town Florida. It’s decorated with unique artwork which makes the atmosphere fun and sophisticated but the amazing part is the food!! The menu changes daily. They list the local farmers and food producers in which they source their ingredients. We ended up not even ordering an entree because we were having far too much fun exploring other areas of the menu. The venison tartare was hands down one of the best dishes I’ve ever had! The baked oysters with pumpkin and golden raisins sounds odd and yet we’re amazing. The chocolate mouse was to die for. However, what impressed us most was the wonderful service. They were attentive, polite and went above and beyond bringing us an extra dessert made special by the chef. To top it all off , we had special printed menus with “Happy Anniversary” and our date. Make a trip to Mount Dora to explore the charm of this small town and end your day with an amazing meal at 1921

    Again, great meal. We love the flavors of each dish, appropriately layered, enough to create pleasant surprises as we move through our meal. Impressed with the Canadian ice wine after dinner, we know how difficult it is to get Canadian wine shipped across the border.
