My wife and I absolutely adore Lala and the rest of the staff here, I feel 100% safe eating here with celiacs disease. The food tastes so amazing and it’s such a warm and inviting atmosphere.
We drop by at least once a week for a sweet treat.
We were seated immediately upon arriving. The booth was clean and roomy. The server was knowledgeable about the menu and dietary restrictions. They had amazing gluten-free options available. It was very dimly lit inside to the point where it was somewhat difficult for my half-blind self to read the menu.
This place was so good! Winter Haven in general looks like it's getting a facelift.
You will see blue cheese throughout the menu. Very accommodating, lots of gluten free and vegetarian options. Went safe with the buffalo chicken salad and tomato soup. Both delicious.
We ordered the patty melt. It was great.
A lot of Gluten Free options !! I have celiac disease and he helped me pick out what’s safe for me food is wonderful just wish They would label their menu items that were gluten-free like they do with the vegan ones so it’s easier to order instead of asking so many questions to the staff about what are the options what can we have ect will definitely be back .
The main reason that the rating is as high as it is is because the cake was pretty and gluten free. It’s really hard to find good gluten free desserts and I wanted cake for my birthday. I got a gluten free lemon cake with raspberry jam. It was very well decorated but the cake itself lacked flavor and was very dense and dry. The jam tasted so good but there was very little in the cake.
Gourmet Goodies created the most beautiful AND delicious cake for our wedding!! We had such a great experience with them from the beginning; everyone on their team is so kind and went out of their way to make sure the design and the flavors matched what we wanted. They made the perfect cake for our vintage Hollywood-inspired wedding and our guests all loved the flavors! As a bonus, they made AMAZING gluten-free vanilla cupcakes as well; our guests with gluten allergies loved them and said they couldn't even tell they were gluten-free! Thank you so much Gourmet Goodies. 🤍🍰🧁
What a wonderful dining experience. A very nice house wine selection including Merlot and Cabernet, interesting beers including one from Lebanon and the food was fabulous. Our waiter, Mike, was very helpful and spot on with his descriptions and recommendations. A new appetizer, Eggplant Delight, was adapted to eliminate the little dusting of flour so my gluten free wife could eat it. That appetizer was delicate, flavorful and very unique. The stuffed grape leaves were the first ones I ever enjoyed. Even the house salads were colorful, tasty and artistically plated. One entree was better than the next. The Lebanese Style Grouper was delicate, perfectly cooked and the sauce was a perfect accompaniment. The Lamb Skewers and the Lamb Chops were perfectly cooked and paired with delightfully seasoned rice and delicious sauce on the side. The last entree was actually the Kibbeh appetizer, which was moist, flavorful and more than ample. We took very little home because we couldn't stop eating. We had no room for desert so next time we'll have to start there. We were brought by friends who had dined there before and we will be back often, sharing the experience with others. We all agreed that it was the best dinner out we have had in a long time. There is beautiful dinner music Friday and Saturday starting at 530. We would recommend reservations for that time frame. The couple who owns this wonderful find, Cindy and Chady, are welcoming, friendly and very helpful. By the time you leave you will feel like you are part of their family. The prices are very reasonable especially considering the high quality ingredients. With one drink each it came to $30 per person.
Run, don't walk to the Mediterranean Fresh Grill in Winter Haven at your earliest opportunity. A well deserved 5 stars.

Authentic homemade Freshly made each day wonderful Vietnamese food. Staff always kind and happy to greet you. Have been here many a time. I’ve tried countless other Vietnamese places for Pho in Winter Haven. This is the only one that reminds me of the real Vietnam food I grew up with. And they do Gluten Free too! gluten free pork buns, Bao buns, and Fried Spring Rolls. There boba is on point! I hate when the tapioca pearls aren’t cooked all the way or they’re hot. You will find the best Boba here!!! 🧋🍜🥟♨️😋
I can't review the food because
I had an 8:00 reservation last night and walked out because no one informed me there was a predetermined menu for Valentine's Day. I did not see it on the website when I was looking for a restaurant in the area, and I wasn't informed in any of the reminder and confirmation texts I received. Another restaurant in the area was doing the same thing but called to inform me.
I have celiac disease and was unable to eat most of the options on the Valentine's Day menu. Very disappointed. Seems silly to tell your customers what they are going to eat.

This has become one of our favorite places to eat. The food is absolutely delicious with large portions, the serve staff is always very friendly and knowledgeable regarding the menu and gluten free options, and the are one of the most accessible restaurants in the area. They have several TV screens playing at once, which can be overstimulating if you have sensory issues, but they always include a kids' channel to keep the littles entertained.
B provided great service with a smile!
Accompanied my picky tastes and wife's gluten alergy in a fun way.
I did have to send my steak back because it was not cooked to temp, but it came back perfect.
Overall, we enjoy Mannys and wish there was one in Kissimmee again.
Jacob was an attentive server. He accommodated my Gluten allergy. Thanks for a delicious Pre-Valentine’s Day date. The crab cakes and smoked filet was decadent!
The food is absolutely DELICIOUS! I had the pork chops with eggs and a biscuit. And let me tell you, those biscuits have got to be the best biscuits I have ever had. Flaky, buttery and just plain spectacular. My granddaughter had the fries top like a pizza. That was so interesting yet delicious. Good idea for those that can't have gluten. Sub the crust with fries and top it just like a pizza. Amazing. My daughter absolutely enjoyed her meal as well. We ordered the fried mushrooms as an app, and those were amazing. Started out breakfast off perfectly.
The server was such a delight. Sweet, kind and very attentive. Wish I could remember her name, because she absolutely deserves the praise.
Overall we had a great time and enjoyed ourselves. Definitely making a return trip.
