DeLand Cocktail Company — Restaurant in DeLand

Didn’t know an establishment could operate without manager.

Spent $165 on dinner and drinks at this place only to be told AFTER my meal was delivered that they didn’t have the short rib my date ordered. She had to order then and we ate separately as my food would’ve been cold had I waited another 30 min. When I asked what they could do to rectify this situation I was told that there is no manager on duty so nothing could be done. I asked who was in charge of the restaurant then and was given bewildered stares and silence. When I asked who the highest ranking individual there was I was told the chef. After prodding the waitress to ask him what could be done she reluctantly went and then returned saying that he can’t do anything either.

This would be fine at Jack in the box or checkers or something, but at a restaurant charging these kind of exorbitant prices for lackluster food and drinks it was shocking. Also, apparently by even asking I embarrassed my date so that went sideways as well, she also vomited up the disgustingly greasy food a few hours later.

Two thumbs down , to the restaurant, the flavorless greasy food, and the lackluster overpriced mixed drinks, but especially to the service and the lack of responsibility taken by the automaton employees.

This is a perfect example that looks aren’t everything, and the better looking is sometimes bland...

Visited for the first time on 9-Mar 2022. I took my son there for his first drink. We imbibed in a wonderful single malt, he did not really enjoy it (but he finished it) so the bartender suggested a Gold Rush which he did enjoy. We also enjoyed a delicious dinner and some great service. The bartender Dustin was outstanding, a friendly, knowledgeable bartender who made sure we were taken care of properly. We ordered food as well, I had the short rib dinner, and it was very good. The rib was tender and had good flavor. The rice was good, I am not much of a rice guy so I do not have much to compare it to. My son had the steak sandwich and it was outstanding! Very huge portion, and the taste was great. He also had a side of mac & cheese, another huge portion that was very good. The prices were in the right range, the food prices were very reasonable considering the small operation and the liquor prices were right in line with other bars. We would both recommend the place for anyone looking for a nice dinner and a quiet drink. I will be returning with my wife for the occasional dinner. Looking forward to chatting with...

Grant the bartender was amazing he was attentive and very friendly. The atmosphere was chill, relaxed and fun. The husband and I had had The Gold Rush, The Bow and Arrow, and the Jungle Bird. I had the Johnny Utah, and the Zombie. Very unique crafty cocktails. As for the food we had the crab cake sandwhich flaky flavorful and delicious, my husband had the Smashburger and was in tasteful heaven. The prices were affordable compared to other facilities we've been to. We will absolutely be recommending this facility to friends and family and will hands down be attending again. It's located in a beautiful hotel, with the choice to hang out in the beautiful garden or inside next to the huge welcoming fireplace. I cannot state enough the staff was so friendly and inviting it will definitely be one of our newest go-to's...
