The Attic Door

Stopped by for an after dinner drink and dessert. The hostess was super helpful. The beer choices are extensive, and the flourless chocolate torte was so good that I didn't share. Loved the ambiance with live music and a wide variety of patrons.

Kim is there !! Best manager ever ! My daughter and I went to the new sushi place and wanted an after dinner drink. The bartender was friendly and recommended the best wine ! Sat at the bar, music was playing and had a blast with 2 of the regulars !

The Attic Door is a cute little hidden gem in downtown Winter Garden. It is a cozy wine bar with an eclectic decor and a beautiful bar. They have really good small plates that are reasonably priced and a nice selection of wine. We enjoyed their cheese plate and a glass of Cabernet and also a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. The service was great and the manager also came around and introduced herself and asked if everything was good and if we needed anything else. They have live music during the week from 6-9 and Friday and Saturday 7-10. We liked the fact that we could enjoy the music, but still have a conversation.

Our go to date night spot ! Best vibe in town!! Try the seasonal menu! Crispy belly bao is yummy!!!

For your entertainment and information, I am bringing you decent food and good service in a bit boring and somewhat inside voice atmosphere. Live music is there, but the music seemed to be quite soft. You may think this weirdness has brought you to the Twilight Zone or Futurama's The Scary Door. But no, you have actually entered Winter Garden's The Attic Door. Introducing the protagonist, myself, having dinner at 8pm on a Saturday. I made a reservation using OpenTable. Upon entering, I got seated immediately at the small table in a corner near the bar area. I was given water immediately and found out that cocktails are not served, so I settled on a crafted tropical fruit cider for 8 dollars. It was by Kopparberg and tasted fruity without being sour. There was only 4 percent alcohol content, so it felt like that a kid lightly tagged me and said that's it. For food, I was informed the pulled pork stacker (15 dollars) would be the most filling. It came quite quickly, and as an appetizer size, which should have been shared. But it was small enough for me to eat the whole thing. There was an ample amount of pulled pork with coleslaw, chives, fried onions, and a good amount of pickled jalapenos. It was on top of creamy polenta. I was asked first if I liked jalapenos and after telling them that I really enjoyed them, it looks like they provided an extra amount of them. The pickling took away most of the heat, and the polenta helped balance it as well. The pork was tender and had a light bbq flavor. The dish was quite filling without making me stuffed. Thus I decided to try the banana foster bread pudding (10 dollars) for dessert. It took a while because it came directly from the oven. It was presented in a skillet, which I wasn't informed that it would be quite hot. The bread pudding was ok and surprisingly on the lighter side without being too sweet. The brandy sauce could have been stronger as I didn't really taste the spirit (pun intended). The highlight were the bananas as they are sweet and very tasty from being brulee'd by a torch. My server was friendly and informative. He helped me choose wisely from the menu so I can feel full without being stuffed. I was however surprised that my main dish came quickly while my dessert took time. The dining room area was a bit small and can get crowded, especially during the time when there is live entertainment. One room has a bar with some seating areas, while the other room is more for the lounging and kitchen area. Next to the entrance is where the musician plays. When I was there, it looked to be a guitarist playing boring soft rock music. During the breaks, it was the same type of music piped softly from the soft conversational background by the guests. While it wasn't too quiet, you can feel the library or guesthouse vibe from the patrons using their inside voices. And the library vibe continued from the amount of books in the bar, the drapes from the ceiling and windows, and the lounging area that is comfortable enough to read books. There was a small outdoor seating area in the front for people watching, and enjoying the cars passing by. If you are lucky, you can park directly in the street and walk to the restaurant. However, most likely you will find easier parking at the free garage nearby. Reservations are recommended when there is live entertainment as waiting can be up to an hour without one.From the decent food and service in a library like atmosphere that has music and patrons using their inside voices, the weirdness can make one feel like being in the Twilight Zone or Scary Door. But instead, you are actually in the Winter Garden's B Rated bistro, The Attic Door.

Pros- Live Music with a great ambiance- Extensive wine list with options for everyone- Great Service with lots of knowledge about the wines they serveCons- N/AI didn't get a chance to try their food, but I will definitely be back! Great place!

Jeremiah was our server last night and was very attentive. We had a great time. The food was great and the atmosphere was awesome. We will definitely be back.

This is one of the most adorable, cozy, and relaxing places on Plant Street in Winter Garden. There generally is live music in the evenings, the seating is comfortable, there is plenty of service people to help with wine, beer, and tapas orders.Over the last couple years, the menu has been improving exponentially. Many delightful, mini sandwiches, and food. I definitely recommend you try this place. It is getting increasingly popular, so I suggest you go to open table to make reservations, If you know you were going ahead of time. You can also usually sit at the bar. But last night the bar was full also. very popular. The bar is run very efficiently, and although it is very busy, the service is quite brisk. If you can, ask to be in server Kim's section. She is funny and lots of delightful quips as she serves you. The other servers are efficient also, but Kim has just been there longer and I know her personally.

Drove 3 and a half hours north to this area for my 32nd birthday and this was the first place we stopped to eat. What an absolute gem! The atmosphere is calm and cozy. There was live music, but it wasn't loud and added to the vibe of the restaurant. We had the deviled eggs (which are a must!) And the spinach dip. Deviled eggs were unlike your typical deviled egg, these were bursting with flavor! The spinach dip was very good and cheesy, chips were fresh. For our entrees we got the smoked salmon Flatbread which was unlike anything I've ever had before. Was light, zesty, tangy and crispy. We also got the mushroom fricassee pappardelle pasta which was literally to die for. An absolute must if you come. Had lots of variety of mushrooms, and all the flavors worked really well together. Hunter was our server and was incredibly attentive and welcoming. We will definitely be back!

Disappointed. I've enjoyed this restaurant in the past for its food and live music, so I was excited to bring friends to showcase how great it is. Unfortunately, this visit was far from my expectations.The ribeye was one of the worst cuts I've ever had--tough and flavorless. The risotto was undercooked, and it wasn't just my plate--another family at our table had the same dish, and theirs was equally hard and uncooked. The saving grace was the salmon, which was as excellent as always.After paying the bill (as I didn't want it to seem like I was avoiding payment), I spoke to the manager, who seemed genuinely surprised and apologized. I hope this was just a one-off experience, but it left me disappointed after what has previously been a favorite spot.Plus on the bruschetta, I always ask w/o garlic and yes the mix already include small amount of garlic, but I get a different bread, this time the waitress said they could not even change the bread. Wow I am baffle about my favorite place in WG. Huge change in quality.
