"This place is getting ONE star and that 's only because the Stromboli was actually really good. Other than that, there is nothing about this place I 'd recommend. First of all, walking in there is like walking into a sauna- I 'm not exaggerating. It felt like it was 90° in there. Secondly, service is some of the slowest service I 've ever received at a restaurant. I 'm a server and have been for 5+ years and I 'm usually really understanding, but this was just not good. Our server didn 't take initiative to refill drinks or ask if there 's anything else we needed, instead would just walk away. She didn 't check back to the table after dropping off our food, instead sent another employee over. Don 't even get me started on the cleanliness (or lack there of- see attached pictures)... the windowsills were absolutely disgusting and don 't look like they 've been cleaned EVER. the floor was filthy and the baseboards had caked on dirt and dust on them. The pizza in the display case up front looked like it had been cooked 12 hours prior and they were still planning on serving it to tables/customers. The woman behind the to-go/checkout desk was eating ice cream while standing behind the counter and in the kitchen. Our server also just left our credit cards in the back unattended for someone to steal and/or jot down our credit card numbers... Just an extremely underwhelming and unpleasant experience overall and I will not be returning."

"I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ikaho Sushi, a restaurant I pass by daily on my way to UPS or Publix. Accompanied by a notary friend who recommended it, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and try sushi for the first time. To my pleasant surprise, the experience was delightful. I opted for spicy tuna and fried chicken tempura rolls. Despite not being a sushi enthusiast, I found the rice to be perfectly grainy and delicious, complementing the flavors of the rolls excellently. The spicy tuna had just the right amount of kick, while the fried chicken tempura added a satisfying crunch. The accompanying soup and salad were also noteworthy, providing a fresh and flavorful start to the meal. Overall, Ikaho Sushi exceeded my expectations with its quality and taste. Even as a newcomer to sushi, I appreciated the well-prepared dishes and friendly service. The experience has opened my eyes to the enjoyment of sushi, and I would gladly return to Ikaho Sushi for another delicious meal."

"Local cafe in Clermont. The inside is small and dated and the staff was short and almost condescending towards me when I asked whether I should order at the counter or sit down. Maybe she was having a bad day? I sat outside because the inside wasn’t appealing much at all. I ordered a coffee and a breakfast burrito. The coffee I do not recommend. It’s a typical cheap restaurant drip, which isn’t my fav, but it was average. The burrito tasted great, but nothing special.I’d recommend this place to people if they wanted something decent and with some nostalgia attached to it. It’s in the downtown area, which is cute and hip."

"There are so many options, and the food is very flavorful. However, I have to update my review: the staff was incredibly rude and made my family feel unwelcome. They stared at us throughout our meal and served our food and appetizers all at once, despite our request to have them brought separately. They had an entire hour left until closing but rushed us as if they were about to shut down in ten minutes. It's disappointing to see such a decline in their hospitality. Updated from my previous review on May 4, 2022."

"I decided to order the mistletoe margarita, which I would not recommend. For dinner, my mom chose the grouper à la carte with yucca fries and broccolini, while I had the herbed chicken accompanied by goat cheese polenta. Although my meal was a bit lukewarm, it was quite tasty; the polenta was well-seasoned, and the chicken, while slightly dry, also had good flavor. I really appreciate well-seasoned dishes. The yucca fries were seasoned nicely, albeit a bit salty, but still enjoyable. My mom's grouper dish looked fairly plain, but the chimichurri sauce added a nice kick of flavor. Unfortunately, our waitress didn't check in about dessert, which was disappointing since it was my mom's birthday. Despite the service issues, I'm eager to return to try the wings, but not necessarily for the service experience."
