Best Seasonal Restaurants in Windermere

First visit for my wife and I to Dragonfly. I can say with all confidence that we will definitely be back! The food and service was outstanding. Our server Samantha was friendly but professional and offered a level of hospitality that one would expect at a fine dining restaurant. Her recommendations were all hits and a few favorites were the Japanese street corn, rib eye skewer, bone in short rib, spicy kimchi pasta and the mochi cake! Amazing flavors in every bite and we look forward to exploring the menu in the future!

Great food and outstanding service! We started with the baked fontina which was a perfect portion for 2 and delicious! Husband had the octopus pasta and loved it! I had the short rib which was divine and massive. For desert we had the chocolate mousse but because I told our waiter I hated tiramisu he brought us a tiramisu too complimentary and it was actually great! Didn’t taste like someone accidentally spilled water on it like most tiramisu. Aaron and Shane were both lovely! The grounds are amazing definitely take a walk around the lagoon after dinner. We will be back!

We had a fantastic experience overall! Our large party visited on Christmas Eve, and everything was exceptional. The atmosphere was lively and festive, setting the perfect tone for the evening. Our server, Hailey, was absolutely amazing—attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. The staff as a whole felt genuinely welcoming, which added to the positive vibe. Highly recommend!

Amber was a fabulous server and Lana at the host stand/reservations was very helpful. Food as always was delicious and we had a great time! So thankful for gluten free flatbreads but wish there were one or two more dessert options that are GF!

We love this restaurant. Everything was delicious. The fish was cooked perfectly. I always wish they would bring up the lighting a bit. I normally expect the holidays to be noisy there, but not to have to use my glasses and phone flashlight to be able to read the menu.
