Great food, fun atmosphere, friendly staff. I'm a regular patron, and have never had a bad meal. Chef Tommy does a great job and doesn't mind variations from the menu when requested. Some of my favorites are the Diver Scallops, Monkfish, Shrimp and Grits, and the BBQ is some of the best I've had. I'm happy to have a good quality restaurant in Debary instead of only "chain" restaurants. Great Happy Hour too! For those of you who live in Lake Mary...don't be afraid to "cross the bridge"...it's a 15 minute drive...come over and check out the Genuine Bistro!
