Nutwood

Good food in cozy ambiance, reasonable prices and great service. Highly recommended.

I've been going to Nutwood since it first opened. I've enjoyed seeing the process of the restaurant grow and the menu evolve into what it is today.I've most often been to Nutwood for dinner. The kale salad, egg yolk raviolo, and specials are always lovely. For lunch, I crave their rice bowl! It's SO good - even to go! Beth has been on the wait staff for so many years. She is incredible! She is kind, warm, attentive and knowledgeable to help you choose your perfect meal. Today I visited for Sunday brunch. The adorable house is charming for romantic meals, but I love to take advantage of the chance for a nice brunch outside on the front porch during days with beautiful weather. That's something you can't find many places in WH.My order:Chorizo Tostada DELISH! It was super fresh and flavorful. At my table, chicken & waffles, the burger, and brioche benedict were ordered and all were enjoyed! Such a hidden gem in Central Florida! Chef Steven Rojas is a highly acclaimed chef. My only hope is that they would put the burger on the dinner menu.

This is a wonderful little fine dining venue in the heart of an unlikely residential area in Winter Haven. We know the chef's former restaurant in California, as it was one of our favorites when we lived there, so it was fun to try this place that he owns. We had lunch, where they serve a limited menu of salads and sandwiches. Everything we tried was delicious. We were particularly impressed with the number of house-made ingredients, including the sauces, sorbets, and ice creams.Service was extremely friendly, and we enjoyed chatting with the chef. We will definitely come back here to try their dinner menu.

Went here thinking white table cloth fine dining would mean a delicious meal. Were we ever wrong. The food was over priced and the cooking was way off. To start we ordered the deviled eggs with pork belly for $13 and we got 3 halves. For $13 you would think we would at least get to full eggs as we were a couple. Then we ordered the heirloom tomato salad for $14. It actually came out after our entrees and it was made with cherry tomatoes no heirlooms on the plate. My wife ordered the roasted chicken and it had no flavor and was under cooked. We bought this to our waitress attention and she offered to take it back but at this point my wife was over it all. I got the 16 oz. New York strip special for $43 and there was at least 6 oz of fat on the steak. It was ordered medium rare and it came out well done. It had roasted onions and crispy potato straws on it. Differently not a $43 dollar dish. The restaurant was nice and cozy for a good date night location,but the food was way overpriced. The owner needs to have a heart to heart with the chef, because if food keeps coming out like this people will not return.

If you're looking for a cozy, romantic, hidden gem place to visit. This is the place. This place hold a special place to my heart. Their menu changes all the time and they are unique in their own ways. Each plate has their own unique taste that blends out so well with the sides. The food brings so much happiness and love. Everyone there is very welcoming and friendly. They make sure your dinner is perfect and give you the best service. Thank you.

Great food, great ambience. What a special gem in winter haven. The chef is fantastic. Definitely worth the drive from Lakeland!!

I did enjoy the food, even though it was a tiny small salad for the cost was not worth it, my friend did have a burger and I did have a bit of that. It was delicious. That was well worth the price.

Excellent dinner tonight in the outside patio. The red snapper was best we've ever eaten. Also loved the brussel sprout shaved salad. Yum. Bread pudding for dessert was also outstanding. Beth, our server, was pleasant and helpful. Kitchen is small so be patient.

Amazing food, ambiance is quaint and service is impeccable! Definitely recommend this place! Can't beat it, the experience was more than expected!

Such good food- terrible location and ambience! While the food and service is very good, the atmosphere is not great. The rooms have visible signs of possible mold, peeling paint, and my allergies definitely flared while there. The room noise was not well dispersed. Very disappointing because on the right location this food and service was so good it could bring in much more money. Alas with how bad my allergies flared and the dinginess of the location for the price I won't be returning soon. Hope they find a new location or can invest in really rehabbing the current location. I know it was formally a house so I understand the level of transformation needed.
