The Highland Manor Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    What happened to the Highland Manor from September '09? When we returned again in March it was like a whole different restaurant. Standards have really fallen. Gone is the Buttermilk Quail I enjoyed on my last visit and the emphasis on organic and locally grown food. In its place is a massed produced, probably frozen and fried mess. We ordered stuffed mushrooms as an app which were fried, bland, and soggy. I specifically asked if the scallops were pan fried (sautéed) or deep fried. Despite being assured they were pan fried they came out deep fried and, really, tasted just like the mushrooms. Everyone at the table got the same mashed potatoes and steamed veggies. The mix of veggies were improperly steamed, the carrots were understeamed and the broccoli was so oversteamed it was mushy. Nobody was pleased with their meal. Service can best be described as bumbling. Our main server did an ok job but when a bottle of wine we ordered was out of stock they sent some yokel to the table holding 4 bottles for us to choose from. We told him we would probably want another bottle of the same later and he said no problem. Later in the meal when we asked for that second bottle they sent yet another lady over to apologize because they were now out of that wine too. You could tell she had no idea about wine; she was listing bottles that didn't even exist! It was funny that the owner came around to introduce herself and inquire about the meal BEFORE the food arrived. If she had been there after we had tasted everything she sure would have gotten a different answer. I was really hoping that Highland Manor would become an upscale dining option in Apopka but unless they take big steps they are going to have to exist on weddings alone.

    Checkers decided to have their Company holiday party with Highland Manor this past December (2013). We have used this location for a few of our events over the past two years. Dubsdread Catering took over the events at this location a few years ago and we had heard that it was a reputable company that emphasized great food and great service. We have had great experiences with them and could not have been happier with our holiday party. The service was outstanding. The food was fantastic. They helped us decide on a menu that everyone enjoyed and the venue was decorated beautifully for the holiday season. I would recommend this venue and the Dubsdread team to anyone for any type of event. They are well known for the weddings that they do and have won a bunch of awards but I don't think that enough people realize how much more they do. Small or large parties - they have you covered. From a business perspective, I did not need to have planning our holiday party turn into another full time job for me but I still wanted it to be nice. They really took care of it and so much more - without taking up a ton of my time to accomplish our best event to date.

    I went hear with a bunch of my girlfriends for brunch on Sunday. It's such a beautiful and historic place. We were seated in a private room that seats up to 10 people. So it felt we had our own party room. The brunch is all you can eat buffet for $20, add $5 you get unlimited mimosa. The food is.... buffet food, so its not like the great awesome buffets you find at vegas, but its a decent buffet to get stuffed from. It was my first time eating biscuits and gravy, which I thought was pretty good. They also over pancakes, eggs benedict, an omelette station, meat carvings and more. I think its a great place to try out at least once!

    My wife and I visited Highland Manor for Brunch, and were rather disappointed in the quality of the food. The buffet was very basic, with your typical breakfast items (eggs, bacon, sausage), and the meat at the carving station was only served well done, which made it very dry. The service there was also disappointing. We noticed that the servers were not only taking orders for drinks and food, but were also filling empty food spots in the buffet line. That seemed rather odd as it took them away from serving you directly just to keep the buffet stocked. This resulted in very slow drink refills and just average service. After this overall experience, I have little to no desire to return.

    This venue, and its owner Richard Wilhelm, are criminals. He deliberately defrauded any number of victims, including a member of my family. He took $1,500 deposits when he knew that he was being evicted because he had not paid rent to the City of Apopka in months. He had a $76,000 judgment recorded against the business in 3/11 when he took our deposit. He hadn't paid Florida unemployment withholdings in month and now has that lien. I'm pretty sure we'll never see that money again, but I'm damn sure we're filing a criminal complaint with the state prosecutor's office.

    In September 2012, my sister held both her ceremony and reception at The Highland Manor. It was perfect. Included in the rental fees were a personal attendant for the bride and a wedding coordinator. They, like the entire rest of the staff, were INCREDIBLE. I couldn't stop hearing compliments from her guests on how beautiful and put together her wedding was. This venue has had a bad rep in the past due to some shady activity by a previous owner but, it is now run by Dubsdread Catering and the Management could not be better. If you are a soon to be bride, or simply looking for an event venue, you MUST come to The Highland Manor in Apopka.

    I love this place. The food is amazing, and it's just a beautiful venue. My husband and I held our vow renewal/wedding at Highland Manor and it was the perfect place!! We had the ceremony until the oak tree and the reception in their ball room. All of our guests had a fabulous time. I have been there for a few dinners, and every time it's really good! Seriously, this place is awesome!

    I'd like to take a moment to bring this venue's information up to date. The Highland Manor is now being managed by Dubsdread Catering (think Tap Room in College Park). In June 2011, after the Manor's previous tenant absconded with about 75 bride's monies, the City of Apopka approached Dubsdread to take over operations. Dubsdread agreed, helped as many brides as possible have their dream day anyway, and continues hosting all sorts of events there. The house dates back to 1903 and was moved to it's current location in 1985. There are rooms of all sizes available for private dinners or large events. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous, and wedding ceremonies under the massive oak are magical; there's just something dreamy about peacocks parading about you. Should you wish to contact Highland Manor or Dubsdread with any questions, or to book an event, all the information on this listing, save for the reviews, is updated and reflects the current management. blogs.orlandosentinel.co… Please note: the restaurant portion is not currently running, which means no Sunday brunches, for any of you folks on Yelp looking for that option.

    This place was great on my first visit for brunch a couple of years ago. It seems like every time I go back however, the service and food get worse and worse. I love the atmosphere and decor and the place itself though (a historic manor with gorgeous grounds), which makes it even more disappointing. The last time we went for brunch our server rarely came by to check on us and we went for a long while with no refills on our mimosas or waters. The food was OK but not great. they kept quickly running out of smoked salmon and when they would refill 15 min later it was with such a a small amount that it was gone within seconds and not refilled again before we left. I understand if they were low, but for the price point I expect more than that. One thing to note, I made a reservation for brunch and told them it was one of the people in my party's birthday and asked if they do anything special for that. They said yes and that they would take care of it. When we got to the restaurant I reminded the host that we had a birthday and they acted like they were right on top of it. We sat there for an hour and half, ate, had desert, paid our bill, and no one ever came over to acknowledge the birthday in any way. All in all, good atmosphere, beautiful setting, decent food, poor service, refill problems with buffet and don't expect them to do anything special for a birthday.

    Unfortunately I heard that Highland Manor was closed down by the city for not paying rent. It doesn't sound like they'll be reopening. The place was beautiful and the staff friendly but it never seemed like there were many customers. I feel bad for any couples who had wedding receptions booked.

    The wait staff was attentive and this place REALLY REALLY tries to be high brow. I liked it, I really did, but our waiter was a little off his game that day. He dumped mimosas on another woman... twice. I was supposed to have a free meal and he didn't (or wouldn't) look it up to check. I will have to go back in a few weeks and re- review. Otherwise the food was really great for a buffet and was replenished often. There are healthy alternatives to almost everything and I even tried a few new items that I have never had before. I found all the food delicious.

    This place is beautiful!!!! Please go and support this establishment, it is truly a wonderful addition to the Apopka area. This is a great place to celebrate a special occasion and have a very nice meal, or you could go to the bar, have some cheaper 'bar food' and enjoy some cocktails. Really a must visit kinda place in the APK.
