Best Date Night Restaurants in Deland

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.

Eric, our waiter, went above and beyond with outstanding service and made our dinner feel like we were the only table in a very busy restaurant. He made us feel at home and was very attentive to our party of three. We will return again and request Eric for our future visit. Food was outstanding as usual! Thank you, Eric!

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!

Cal and Ryan provided exceptional service during our visit to Nami. Cal’s recommendations were spot-on, introducing us to a variety of delicious dishes that went above and beyond our expectations. The restaurant’s tapas-style concept is perfect for sharing, and we loved trying everything family-style. Honestly, we’re still debating which dish or dessert was our favorite—they were all outstanding! A big shoutout to the chef for crafting such an incredible menu. The service was flawless, with the entire staff working seamlessly as a team. Their attention to detail and coordination created one of the best dining experiences we’ve had. Nami is a must-visit, and we can’t wait to return. Highly recommended!
