My fiancé surprised me with a reservation at this restaurant. It did not disappoint. Cory was our waitor and the service was phenomenal and the food was even better!
App- Pork Belly
Dinner- lamb and beef cheek
Dessert- cheesecake!
We had a wonderful meal at Mount Dora’s premium gastronomic establishment, 1921. Spencer provided the attentive and friendly service one would expect for a fine dining experience. I had the Wagyu burger and fries, while Kari sided with the pork belly and scallops. Both were well prepared as ordered and the wine complimented Kari’s meal. The circuses here are 1st class. The furnishings, bar and wall art are inviting and easy for a short meal or watching a long game. Well done!
We returned for their prefix Magical Dining menu and we're NOT disappointed. At a base price of $60 per person with an additional $20 wine paring per course, everything was worth every single penny. The spectacularly delicious food highlights how perfect execution pairs stunningly with superbly chosen wines. We were wowed yet again. The final highlight of the evening was our server Jake who was so incredibly pleasant and attentive. He never let a water glass get less than half full and doted on us just enough to make sure all the details were perfect. We can't wait to return again. My only complaint is that they are all the way 1.5 house from me in Ocala. Ohh well, this restaurant is WORTH the drive!
How have we missed this for so long. A priceless gem in downtown Mt. Dora. The outside is terribly plain. But instead is a beautiful, comfortable place. Just looking for a place to escape the heat, we sat at the bar. The bartender was friendly and helpful. We ordered the happy hour white sangria and a happy hour Artisan Cheese plate with Plum Tomato Jam and Toasted Sourdough Bread. Good thing it was only $7 because it wasn’t much of a cheese plate. It was a single slice of cheese with jam and Texas toast. It tasted great but we were expecting a cheese plate. Anyway, we enjoyed our stay and will plan another visit.
we had such a marvelous time! this has been on our must-try list for a while, and now it’ll be a regular spot for sure. loved the artful touches from decor to plating to ingredients. i have a deep adoration of “farm-to-table” eating, and love the concept of ever-changing seasonal menus.
we loved nearly all of our dishes, although we felt the bucatini dish had too muted “clean” flavors last night. in contrast, all other dishes were packed with phenomenal flavors!
we can’t wait to return!
also the women’s restroom is GORGEOUS. whoever designed that needs an award.
Wonderful Thanksgiving dinner here. Staff was great food amazing and ambience . It's part of the adjacent modernist art museum. Artwork from the museum graced the walls. Amazing glass chandelier too!

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 were 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
My parents took us out for brunch at 1921 and what an experience it was! The Beef & Tallegio Bagel caught our attention immediately — imagine biting into a juicy prime rib paired with creamy Tallegio and sweet caramelized onions. And those fries on the side? Crispy perfection. I had the Country Ham Biscuits N’ Gravy, with a hint of sweetness, paired with the savory biscuits and rich gravy, was pure comfort on a plate. The Parmesan hash browns composed the base and sunnyside eggs were just the cherry on top. Throughout the meal, the service was impeccable, making the brunch feel even more special. Such a memorable day with the folks! Can't recommend this place enough.
We stopped on a Weds evening for a drink and light bites. We grabbed two seats at the bar and the bartender, Jamie, was fantastic. She was friendly and engaging, and didn't make us feel rushed as we took out time deciding on what we wanted to order.
We decided on several apps, and ordered raw & baked oysters, the octopus, and the shrimp pizza. Everything was phenomenal.
Loved this restaurant. Food excellent and service excellent. Wine list impressive . Will definitely go back . Lamb shank and fillet so delicious
