So delicious. Possibly best steak I've had in years! Up there with high end food worth every penny. Lovely waitstaff and calming atmosphere.

Went out tonight for a birthday, my grandma's. She is a woman of incredibly refined tastes and has said this is her favourite restaurant in Deland...

Excellent small restaurant in downtown DeLand. They serve a somewhat eclectic menu, reportedly mostly locally sourced. This was a home run on all counts...
