“Came to Jalisco Town with my granddaughter and friend. Had the best time, thank you , very nice atmosphere . Our server was awesome Karla. The best!“

“We will definitely be coming back to this place. It’s kind of in a hidden location, off the beaten path but most definitely worth it. We did the Wine Tasting with our server Antony (husband of the Boss ?) and he did such a fantastic job of pairing our wines with select foods. We left it completely up to him and he did an amazing job. We are definitely going to be recommending this place to others. We left full & happy!“

“The Grafton Street Lake Mary Pub’s food was amazing! We had the best lunch… Every bite of the bruschetta was tantalizing with the added surprise of bursting balsamic pearls. The lobster roll was the best ever! The strawberry arugula salad was deliciously light. The gourmet grilled cheese with tomato bisque brought back memories of Mom. The Shepherd’s pie was thick, full of flavor, and beautiful to look at. Actually, every dish was beautiful & delicious! Marlene Engel“

“My wife and I are definitely foodies. We have been to some of the best restaurants in town, and the Lake Mary Social has been on our list to try for over a year. We finally got to try it about a month ago, and unfortunately, I believe we hit on an off night. To their credit, however, the management reached out to me and my wife (almost immediately after hearing about our concerns) in an attempt to make things right. This is the mark of excellent leadership. I applaud the owners and management for their outstanding customer service. It is clear that they have a passion for what they do and for the customers who dine at their restaurant. In their attempt to make things right, we were invited back for a meal with the intention of showing us what The Lake Mary Social is supposed to be. They succeeded. The atmosphere was fantastic and the service was excellent. Overall, the character of the restaurant is very well executed. They have done a lot of positive things with the space. As soon as you walk through the door, you are transported to a 1920’s style, fine-dining establishment that is a far cry from the old and seemingly run-down shopping center in which it is located. They have truly elevated themselves above their surroundings and do a phenomenal job of allowing their patrons to escape and lose themselves in what I would describe as a “bubble of class.” My wife and I started with a yellowfin tuna tartare that was so incredibly balanced in all five palatable flavors it seamlessly blended the sweet, salty, bitter, umami, and even a punch of sour from the occasional hint of diced kiwi. For the entrees, my wife had the prime filet mignon which was cooked to perfection. I sampled it and could literally cut it with a butter knife. The seasoning was superbly sparse— not overpowering the natural flavor of the prime beef but rather enhancing it. The dish was finished with a mix of flawlessly executed, al dente, roasted vegetables. Each bite had just the right amount of crunch, and when paired every so often with the juices from the steak, creates a perfect palatal experience. I had the chicken cordon bleu. The chicken was moist, flavorful, and balanced incredibly well with the smokiness of the ham and the savoriness of the bleu cheese. The chicken sat upon a generous, but not overpowering bed of pommes puree. The unifying force behind this dish was the clearly scratch-made béchamel sauce. This sauce was the creamy, savory link that brought the aforementioned flavors into exquisite unity. Dessert was a strawberry basil panna cotta and a banana pudding. My wife had the panna cotta and I had the pudding. Each of us believed that our selection was the best of the two, but the truth is that they were both excellent choices. I do think; however, that I have to give a leg-up to the panna cotta. It checked all the panna cotta boxes: texture, flavor, and balance. It was light and fluffy yet firm, fruity and minty yet not too sweet, and overall wonderfully refreshing. Our meal at The Lake Mary Social was delectable from start to finish. Based on this meal, I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fine-dining experience in the Central Florida area.“

“We went for lunch for my besties birthday. Food and service were amazing. A bonus is this spot is the BEST food ever. I havent had authentic Mexican food in Orlando since I lived in Southern California 13 years ago. The only drawback was the lighting. It was way too bright. We almost wanted to put on our Sunglasses but didn't want to be rude to such kind staff members. Please consider dimming your lighting. It is a great place though, nicely remodeled and great accents and pretty dinnerware. We have ordered food over 25 times and it is always excellent!“

“Great staff, food and drinks.“

“Love that Lazy Moon finally has a Maitland location! Pizza is just as good as the Mills and UCF locations and service is somehow even nicer. Better draft list than the other locations, but kegs tap fast! Its still a new location, so I like to think they’ll figure that out soon. The GM JB (I think is his name) is always in, and stops by our table at least once to make sure that our family is enjoying our meals. Super family friendly! Keep rocking Lazy Moon! The wife would like to see Coke Zero on the menu if possible.

Kid-friendliness: Super kid friendly! Outside area and larger booths. Apple juice and milk options!“

“This place is one of our favorites in the area. This a scratch kitchen!! Brandon is awesome.. all staff is. Food is amazing. Always have to try their home made soup and home made pasta salad.“

“I just want to say what an amazing place this is. We have been here many times and every time service is on point and food is amazing! We’ve had Taylor and Yez as our servers and they are both AMAZING! Tyra is so wonderful and remembers us every time and makes sure to take very good care of us! Jenna the bartender makes the perfect drinks! This place is where we should all be spending our money at. Not corporate places. They truly care about our experience! We will definitely be back!!“

“Glad to have this establishment in Sanford! Our sweet bartender was a gem - attentive, personable and her recommendations were spot on. My friend and I shared a variety of tapas and sampled a few cocktails on the menu. Everything was delicious. We look forward to visiting again soon.“
