The Salted Fry in Mount Dora offers a delightful mix of comfort and modernity. With stylish, new furnishings, an interesting wine dispenser, and a unique salt/sugar bar, the ambiance is both inviting and contemporary. The outdoor seating provides a pleasant option for those who prefer to dine outside, and the availability of Boylan sodas, made with real cane sugar, adds a special touch.
The service at The Salted Fry was top-notch. The staff was friendly, attentive, and prompt, even helping us choose from the salt/sugar bar. Their efforts in maintaining cleanliness were evident throughout the restaurant, making for a spotless and comfortable dining environment. Though we didn’t use the restrooms, the overall cleanliness was impressive.
We began our meal with the Truffle Fries. These fresh-cut fries, lightly misted with white truffle oil, topped with grated parmesan cheese, and crushed black pepper, were served with the standout Kerfuffle Truffle dipping aioli. The fries were well-cooked and had a homemade touch, though we would have preferred a bit more parmesan cheese. The addition of bacon bits and spiced golden sea salt greatly enhanced the flavor, making this dish a solid 7/10.
Next, we sampled the Poutine. This dish featured fresh-cut fries topped with natural cheddar cheese curds, rich beef gravy, and real bacon bits. The beef gravy was incredibly flavorful, and the fries maintained their crispy texture. The bacon added an extra layer of taste, though more cheese curds would have been appreciated. We rated this dish an 8/10.
The prices at The Salted Fry were reasonable. Although the Boylan cola is pricier than regular sodas, it adds a unique and enjoyable twist to the meal. Overall, we felt that the restaurant provided good value for the quality and distinctiveness of the food.
A major highlight of our visit was the salt bar, which offered a variety of options to customize and enhance the flavor of our fries. This feature added an element of fun and personalization to the dining experience.
We would definitely recommend The Salted Fry to food enthusiasts and especially to those who love fries. The combination of excellent service, unique offerings, and a comfortable ambiance makes it a great spot to enjoy a variety of well-prepared fries.
Overall, The Salted Fry provided a pleasant dining experience with fresh, flavorful food and outstanding service. While there are a few areas for improvement, the overall experience was enjoyable, earning the restaurant a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
