Came here for our anniversary dinner, a special occasion. Plenty of parking. We had a reservation and we’re promptly seated. The menu had a good variety and our server answered any questions we had about the menu. The food was delivered to our table in a reasonable amount of time, and it was absolutely delicious. The portion sizes were very generous. My wife ordered the pot roast and I had the pork chop. For dessert. My wife had a piece of coconut cream pie, and she said it’s the best she has ever tasted. We had a very good experience here tonight.

Dress nice! The Rose Plantation is a fantastic ‘date night’ restaurant, especially if you’re looking for a classic southern style atmosphere. The salads and soups are excellent to start! All of our entrees were amazing – I personally had the chef’s special pork belly marsala pasta with wild mushrooms and apple (something I wanted to experiment on as I typically wouldn’t try something like this – and it blew me away!!!!). We all shared some bites, and the prime rib, scallops, and rack of lamb were all 10/10. Try to save room for dessert! I had the molten chocolate lava cake (one if the best I’ve ever had), but if that’s not your thing, I’ve heard the ice cream is amazing – they source it from Mystic Ice Cream! Will definitely be back here for special occasions or anniversaries – there is a relatively strict dress code and the average age of patrons was around 75, so a very quiet and chill atmosphere with live piano played throughout the night!

Located in an old southern style plantation home with a beautiful history, this classy restaurant is a jewel in the area. Great wine list at excellent prices, good cocktails drinks, and a very good menu typical of old style restaurants with class. Beautiful venue and location. Piano music excellent.

Beautiful mansion, Floridian decor with wooden floors, gorgeous grounds. I had their delicious “sangría” (white wine, vodka, pineapple and peach juices.) Squash soup was too thick and just ok, plain Caesar salad on a big plate. The parmesan chicken sandwich with thick bacon was excellent. The side I chose was potato salad (eggs, shredded carrots.) Hubby had the wagyu burger – was very good. Great service, reasonable prices.

The Rose Plantation is beautiful. Lake out back. They have a swing you can sit in and just take in the view. Herons and egrets everywhere. The food was wonderful and the service was 5*. I went at lunchtime, but I know I will be going back at dinner time with my husband. The main dining room has a grand piano, and I am hoping that on Fridays and Saturdays, someone will be playing it.

This historic waterfront home is a destination opportunity for diners. Whether dining in private outdoor tents, or indoors, in one of several different rooms, the experience is unique. I enjoyed an assortment of smaller dishes on my visit.

Beautiful old home transitioned into a lovely bed and breakfast-style upscale restaurant. Lovely porch view, piano player, and so much charming character.

Wonderful experience! My husband and I went for Thanksgiving dinner. We arrived a little before our reservation time and we were seated immediately. The service was excellent and the meal was delicious. The Rose Plantation is a wonderful fine dining experience. We had not been there since COVID, but we’ll be back again soon. Besides our main entrees (traditional turkey for my husband and duck for me), I had salad and my husband had soup. We shared an appetizer and a dessert. He had sweet tea and I had Moscato. Total came to $190 *after* tax and gratuity.

What on earth has happened to this restaurant ??? We have always loved it before,,, but for my birthday Aug.26, it was THE WORST restaurant experience we’ve ever had !! Even my gin and tonic was Vodka! There was someone in the kitchen that was DEFINITELY NOT A CHEF—why would you serve such awful food !!?? Brought the entrees home to the dog— Do not waste your $$—the whole dinner (other than appetizer of Artichoke hearts) was NASTY !! We will go to Mt. Dora from now on !!

The quality of the food and atmosphere was great. Our server was friendly, courteous, and attentive, but the overall service was a bit slow, perhaps kitchen issue? Nonetheless we will be eager to return for another fine dining experience. Be sure to save room for the fabulous desserts!
