Cheeseburger in Paradise

Tonight reminded me of the theme song for Cheers, "Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name ... and they're always glad you came ..."

Such is the atmosphere at the Retro, which is Mount Dora locals secret hang out. Located in the basement of the Renaissance Building, this place is quite the opposite of a dark damp pub. It is light, uplifting, full of friendly faces and all the beer, wine and food you could ever want.



You're always sure to run into someone you know here, sit down, order a bottle (or two) of wine, enjoy the live music and have a fabulous time.

I particularly prefer their selection of appetizers and light bites for when I'm feeling "snacky" and just want to graze on a variety of flavors. Tonight we tried a Retro original ... cheeseburger flat bread. Started off with Cheers, then ended with Jimmy Buffet on the brain. All the yummy burger bits and melted cheese without the guilt of thick heavy bread. Because ... of course ... cheese and meat are GOOD for you! That's the diet I'm on right now anyway. Order up another one ... it is the weekend after all!
