Best Date Night Restaurants in Winter Springs

We had an incredible first experience at The Cake Bake Shop on Disney’s Boardwalk, and wow, it was nothing short of magical! Right from the moment we stepped in, we were warmly welcomed by Skyler and George, which set the tone for an unforgettable evening. Our fabulous waitress, Jennifer, truly made the night special! She guided us through the menu, highlighting her favorite dishes and sharing some exciting changes coming soon. We kicked things off with the truffle fries, which were absolutely divine! For my main course, I indulged in the shrimp Po'boy, savoring every single bite. Jennifer thoughtfully chose the Croque Monsieur for me, and it was so delicious I could seriously eat it every day! Of course, we saved room for dessert and couldn’t resist trying the seasonal option—it was the perfect finish to our feast. To top it all off, we had the pleasure of meeting the amazing owner, Gwen. She was just as wonderful as the food! We’re already looking forward to our next visit for breakfast and tea. What an unforgettable night!

This was my second time here, but first time having dinner. The truffle fries and guac were fantastic, and my Brussels sprout salad entree was delish. My companion didn’t love his tuna tostada, he said it was too salty, but that was the only low point. This place is pricey, but to be expected at Disney Springs, and worth it for the excellent vibes. Hopefully next time we can get a table outside.

Fabulous waiter, food, and birthday celebration. Since the restaurant was sold, the bar pricing has been off. $18 for a Buffalo Trace bourbon at the bar before dinner was insane…

We love Ava. The food is so delicious; taste and presentation. Our servers were so accommodating. Every time we visit Winter Park we make a reservation at Ava! It’s perfect!

Amazing food and amazing service!! We loved it and would definitely be back
