"We continue to be impressed with how good the food is here. The 'everything on it' pizza was outstanding, especially if you like thin crust pizza, as we do. The beef tips appetizer was a delight, and I enjoyed one of the best greek salad's I've ever had. HH wines were decent. The waitress was a delightful person, who added to our enjoyment of the meal. The Winter Park locals hang out here year round and it is obvious why: the food is delicious! There's not much atmosphere to the place; it's just a bar/restaurant, but in the summer it's very nice to eat on the patio, which they appear to be expanding."

"Excellent place! Were intrigued by the 2000 degree seared steaks. Bar and restaurant were both full when we arrived for an 8:15 reservation. We were seated in a nice booth by 8:20. The menu had just been reduced as it was athe end of the ski season. Not a huge deal except my wife was hoping for a wedge salad, one of the items removed. We ordered a med rare steak and a beef tips and shrimp dish. Steak was outstanding, dusted with an house rub and perfectly seared at 2000 degrees to med rare. One of the best steaks I have ever had. Beef tips & shrimp were also very good. Both perfectly cooked and seasoned, served on toasted house baked bread. Both dishes were served with Brussels sprout hash which was very tasty. Started with soup and salad."

"I saw great reviews of this place so we went. After a long day of skiing and being exhausted and hungry, we were not disappointed. Server was excellent and food was really good. The sweet and sour calamari was recommended by our server and was different and delicious. Cooked perfectly crisp and tossed with sweet cabbage and peppers. Yummy! The pork porterhouse was massive and juicy, and the side that was a layered potato gratin type thing was unbelievably good.
Nice find, nice place.

"We enjoyed our relaxing evening at your restaurant. The atmosphere set the mood along with the service offered by our waitress, Erin. Her recommendations and pleasant personality made our evening great. The food was delicious and a fair price, We can't wait to come again next time we are in town!"

"Our family of four dined at Deno's mid-week during ski season. The food was fresh, tasty and plentiful. Our server, Bill, took great care of us, and although the place was hopping, we were in and out in an hour. Nice draft beer selection, too!"

"We celebrated the last night of our ski trip with a special meal. The food was excellent and the wine the wiater recommended was equally good. The atmosphere was good for groups of all sizes and a classic warm western resort theme."

"If this place wasn't on Open Table, you wouldn't eat here. The food is mediocre, the noise level is way over the top, and parking is almost impossible to find. At least our server was polite and efficient. But that's not enough reason to come back."

His years of experience are obvious. He did a great job. Next time we're in town, we will visit again and ask for Bill!"

"Group of 6 on a Saturday night during ski season, so thank goodness we had a reservation 'cuz this place was hopping! Service was great, food was amazing. Everyone had a great time. Entrees are in the $20-$25 price range, and salads are an add on. They also have a 'bar menu' with more affordable pizza, burger, and falafel options. Great wine and cocktail selections. Only complaint: it's very loud. Everyone was hoarse by the end of the evening. We've been here in the summer, too, and enjoyed their sidewalk patio. Highly recommended!"

"Food was very good. Our server, Bill, was friendly and attentive. Recommend the wedge salad and the bread pudding in particular. Pretty casual as you would expect from a ski town restaurant. Only drawback from our experience was the noise level was pretty high - to the point you had to talk loud over it to have a conversation. All in all it was a really good experience."

"My wife and I dined at Deno's for the second time on Friday, 1/18/13. The bar area was energectic, and we were seated next to the fireplace. Both the service and the food were great and I can't imagine dining anywhere else while in Winter Park."
