"Maggie took our orders and served our food with such warmth and enthusiasm. The dishes were absolutely mouthwatering! I can't believe I've been missing out on this amazing place for so long! From now on, it's definitely my go-to spot for family and friends. Make sure to grab a table outside and arrive with an appetite. We enjoyed a Cuban sandwich, a pastry, one of the specials, fried yucca, and some Cuban coffee. We shared everything, and not one dish disappointed. I would buy the yucca dipping sauce by the quart if it were available. Don't just drive past Maggie's anymore; stop in and prepare to feast on some of the best food in Lake City!"

"Nice modern Asian Bistro. The staff are not very knowledgeable or attentive. On our first visit, we were seated and waited for a waitress for 20 mins. Which wasn't a huge deal since they had an extensive menu, and we were browsing it. However, all or visits since seem to have similar wait times, lack of a waitress who is attentive and simply unfamiliar with the menu. The food was just. The wait time to get the food after ordering is lengthy. The staff do not check on guests after delivering food to the table. Be prepared to request your waitress anytime you need anything, even the check. I might feel better about revisiting if the service was better because the food was decent, but I prefer to eat at places that value their customers and provide quality service."

"Beware . . . beware! For my family, the lunch rush meant lots of attitude and problems. First, because I ordered a kid's meal for myself (wasn't very hungry) the cashier, K.L. (initials only), gave my wife an extra order of attitude to go along with it, no extra charge. (How dare a grown adult eat kids' food Next, my daughter, a vegetarian requested for the chicken and blue cheese to be put on the side of her salad. Another free order of attitude was given when the cashier sneered, We don't do . . . THAT When my wife asked why, K.L. repeated, We DON'T DO THAT. After a few questions and no answers, the blue cheese was deleted (but I wanted it and my daughter was to have to pick the chicken off of the salad; thankfully, I was there to eat it . . . BUT this meant that my daughter ate the remaining salad, picking AROUND the remants of chicken not the most appetizing thing for somebody who doesn't eat meat. Next, everything that was forgotten and never made the tray!! First, the almonds and granola (little packages), clearly printed on the ticket, did not make it to the table--sadly--nor did my sauce for my nuggets, and one frozen diet lemonade. However, since we were dining in--the cashier thought it was a to go order--I braved the crowd at the front to get these condiments,, etc. Oh, and did I mention the problems with the drinks? We ordered a Diet Coke and Dr. Pepper but as they were unmarked and since my wife has diabetes, I did not want her to get any sugar. So on this trip I was seeking a drink, condiments, and to exchange two mystery drinks. Since that teenage girl refused to look at me, I went to the counter to ask for a manager. The manager, Jimmy, was totally in the weeds but he did step away and visit the table where he told us he was sorry and that he'd had some issues with employee attitudes. By the time I got everything that was originally forgotten, except for the blue cheese (MIA), my waffle fries and nuggets were horribly cold and disgusting. (I closed my eyes and pretended I was at one of the other chicken fast food joints Hey, my bill was $28.85 and I just wanted it to be done right--not too much to ask for, is it? We drove past all of those other fast food restaurants because of staffing service issues for this??? I can tell you that this Chick-fil-A was NOT understaffed, as there were MANY employees outside, behind the counter, on drive through, in the back preparing food, and in the lobby walking around asking How is everything Since I was about 1/2 way through my 500-mile drive, I bit my tongue and said Fine but we did let the manager know EVERYTHING but all he got us was a genuine, I am sorry I guess that even from this chain, that is all that you can expect these days. I will not be stopping again, not for this price. Heck, I can get this kind of service at McDonald's for half the price . . ."

"This charming little spot has an outstanding bartender named Stephanie. This is my second visit during my trips to Florida, but my first time being served by Stephanie. On my previous visit, the bartender was friendly and attentive, which I appreciated. However, this time with Stephanie took the experience to a whole new level. The atmosphere is lovely and inviting, and the staff appears to be happy. I know many restaurants have faced challenges with employee burnout due to long hours and a lack of support, but it seems the manager here is doing an excellent job navigating those difficulties and maintaining a fantastic establishment. The way the kitchen staff even breaks out into song speaks volumes about the overall management. Oh, and let's not forget, the food was quite good too!"

"I heard that this place was selected by Gordon Ramsey or someone for a robbery when it was called Fish Bones a few years ago? This means improvements! Are you gathering at the Phish Valley of an evening and you? The ones you know (that's when you choose? and if you choose this, there is also a full bar as well as kitchen, so you can have a drink and a decent meal. Located in the old Winn Dixie plaza, the hotel shows my age as WD was there a few decades ago! not far from downtown SW Main St. Bottom line: There are not many good local restaurants in LC, but those I recommend."
