My family and I popped in for dinner on a Tuesday night and we were blown away. Who knew quaint li'l Mount Dora had such a high quality restaurant. It's in the middle of a back alley behind the main drag through town, but what a find! The ambiance is cozy and warm and the menu was filled with unique... more

Our friends took us to the Goblin Market ... raving about the great food. The ladies had the lamb -- which, according to the restaurant reviews is not to be missed. Based on my weekend in the hospital, I'd definitely say skip it. We had to ask for water. We finally flagged down our waitress and asked for bread after... more

During a recent Saturday trip to Mt. Dora with friends, we had lunch at The Goblin Market. I remembered hearing good things about it...once upon a time. Loved the secluded entry into a viney, hidden courtyard and found the bookish and exotic decor quite charming. Then the stuffiness set in--I hate eating in a place that smells like they need... more

If you haven't had a Ruby Red Grapefruit Martini at the Goblin, you don't know what you are missing. Chris the bartender is so inovative with his drinks. The best I've ever had. It's a must stop while in Mt Dora. more

The Goblin Market is a romantic little restaurant in downtown Mount Dora. It is located down Dora Drawdy Lane (Dora Drawdy kept the boarding house years ago that the original surveyors of the town stayed at so many things in town are name for her). You enter Goblin Market through a small fenced area with outdoor tables. Inside, book-lined shelves... more

It had been a while since we had been to the Goblin Market for dinner and after hearing they had a new chef we were a bit reluctant. Thankfully we decided to go. We both had the Lamb and I have to say that was probably the best lamb I have ever had. Our server was Claudis who we had... more

I felt like I was in a fairy tale it is that gorgeous! The service that Tony gave us was perfect too. The food is prepared just the... more

My wife and I have been searching for a place like the Goblin Market ever since we moved to Leesburg two years ago. For us, the choices had been to either drive to the villages and dine at often crowded, senior-centric restaurants or drive the hour + to Orlando for real fine dining. We couldn't be more pleased with this... more
