Reviews for The Funky Monkey in Mt Dora, FL
Edit: The manager acknowledged the food issue and discounted our meal. Service bumped to 5 stars. ???? We came for Sunday... brunch. The prices are very affordable and it's a really cool spot, however... despite being sharing an owner with the amazingFrog And Monkey, we were not impressed. Our food came out mostly cold after a 45 minute wait. There was no seasoning on anyone'sfood. The waffles were rubbery and the chicken was... well, look at the photo. Read more
Tried to have brunch here with friends. The service was terrible and the food sucked. There were 7 of us and we were literally... the only people there. The food came out staggered over about 20 minutes so some were done eating before others got their meals.My $20 palella was the size of a side salad. Seriously, a joke. My wife has a very long black hair in her food. Overall justvery very bad. We will not return to this place. Read more
Service was decent but seemed to take forever to get anything. Food was okay but nothing special. Now for the bad news. Food... didn't come out together. We were the only party inside eating. Dishes came out for our party of seven in twos and threes.Dishes with two plates came separate. Three of us were done before #7 got her meal. One person found a very long hair in herfood after eating half of it. Was not worth the time, effort, or price. Won't return and suggest you skip it or just get drinks. Read more
Went with a group of 4 and all of us ordered sharable items so none of us missed out on anything. Each of us was blown away at... how good everything was. This was more impressive because of how diverse our choices were and the unique flavor profiles of eachitem. Great experience ???? Read more
Great experience. Lots of food choices (as well as drink options). Neat atmosphere. Very helpful and friendly staff. Music a... bit loud temperature a bit cold. Read more
I had the brunch Lomo Saltado and my husband had the South Flordia Paella along with the bottomless bloody marys and mimosas. We... both enjoyed what we ordered very much. Our server was also bartending so it was a bit slower service but he did very well fordoing multiple jobs and we did not have to wait to long for our drinks and food. Read more
Thrilled with our selection of octopus and the sanduchito - very tasty selection here. We dove into the monkey bread for dessert... and we were stuffed! The portion sizes at least on the things we ordered were bigger than we thought and we left with no room inour stomachs. We will be back to try the charcuterie plate. Side note: special thanks to the bartender for making my mulewithout the muddled berries. Since I can?t have seeds due to a medical condition, the bartender was very accommodating byreplacing the muddled berries with passion fruit purée. Probably one of the tastiest mules I?ve ever had. Thank you! PS: Forthose saying to try 1921 or Goblin Market over this spot? I was not impressed by these spots. In fact, I was disappointed inboth?highly disappointed. Go ahead and enjoy 1921 or Goblin Market. Save some seats here for the rest of us with good tastepallets. :) Read more
