The Parched Oak

"It was a fairly busy night when we first arrived. The service was good at first but once we were able to place our food order, we were not really tended to. Will definitely give it another try another time because we did like the place and the food was good."

"Friendly service and good cocktails. I wish they had more vegetarian or vegan options but the ones they did have were great. Oct 13 2023 update: Still feel the same as above. I did enjoy the Ace mango cider."

"Well.... If your meeting friends for drinks and downtown DeLand nightlife, good place. 1. Atmosphere-great, good times, great service, tvs with games goin- good vibe 2. Food-had the pesto chicken sandwich..not much pesto flavor, chicken was probably frozen breast fillet, tough and dry. Now buddy had Black & Blue burger, looked fantastic. Fries are really good. Two in my party had mojitos, and they were very different, one very good flavor, the other very strong. 3.Service- excellent, server was on point, took good care of the party, no complaints. 4. Overall I'd give 3.5 stars Sum it up, cool location for cocktails and fun vibe. If your bar hoppin, stop in. Food? There's other places on the Boulevard to check out"

"We were in the area and decided to go here and it was a great choice. Prices are pretty high, but the flavors are so good. Definitely recommend the Gouda Bites. There are only 6 to an order but the taste of them is delicious. The sauces they are paired with also enhance the flavor. We also got the T.P.O Mushroom Chicken and the Southwest Blackened Steak Tip Risotto. These 2 dishes were amazing! The sherry wine cream sauce was delicious and both Risottos were excellent. The steak tips were cooked perfectly and seasoned great and the chicken was juicy. Our server was also on point with their service. Definitely will come back. Came back and tried the Sweet Bourbon Glazed Salmon. You can't go wrong with neither of these three risotto dishes"

"We wandered in here on a date in Deland, just to try it out. It was fairly empty, so it’s probably very busy at night. I had the Gouda burger, and my wife had the steak sandwich. We both enjoyed our food, everything was very well done. The fries were a bit soggy, but still good. It did smell a bit when we got here, although that may have been because the AC has not been on for a while."
