Pisces Rising

About Us

Pisces Rising is one of downtown Mount Dora’s signature dining destinations, serving fresh Florida cuisine, seafood, steaks, craft cocktails, brunch, happy hour, private dining, and catering from a historic 1919 Florida bungalow overlooking Lake Dora.

Established in 2003, Pisces Rising blends the character of Mount Dora’s historic downtown with one of the area’s most memorable restaurant settings. Guests can dine inside the restored bungalow, enjoy lake views through large windows, or head outside to the expansive deck and tiki-style patio bar for fresh air, live music, cocktails, and sunset views over Lake Dora.

The menu focuses on fresh, local ingredients whenever possible, with Southern Florida-inspired dishes and modern coastal flavors. Favorites include fresh catch, shrimp and grits, grilled Atlantic salmon, whole snapper when available, Certified Angus Beef steaks, seafood starters, sandwiches, salads, and seasonal desserts. Sunday brunch adds another reason to visit, with dishes like chicken and waffles, French toast, breakfast burritos, short rib hash, Pisces Benedict, and brunch cocktails.

Pisces Rising is also a popular choice for date nights, family dinners, celebrations, business meals, rehearsal dinners, receptions, group dining, and catered events. Private and semi-private dining areas are available, and the catering team can help create custom menus for weddings, corporate events, parties, and special occasions.

Located at 239 W. 4th Avenue next to Sunset Park in downtown Mount Dora, Pisces Rising offers the full Mount Dora experience.
