I'm always on the look out for sushi but the food at Taverna Opa is excellent as well.
I am definitely looking forward to some locally grown Florida foods like K Restaurant's citrus-inspired dinners!
Anything from Sushi Pop will pop in your mouth!!
Sushi is always good. But so is ANYTHING chocolate.
Eggplant Parmesan – can't go wrong with Italian!
My wife and I love sushi pop but I'm sure anything they serve will be delicious.
Sushi, locally grown food, yummy vegetarian options and anything Italian!
Anything from K is delicious, and I'm glad they locally source their ingredients. I keep hearing great things about Sushi Pop though and need to trek over to Oviedo one night and try them.
Loving the idea of earth-loving cuisine! Organic and locally grown foods, like the yummy stuffs served up at Dandelion Cafe, would be GREAT!
I love volcano rolls and spicy tuna rolls. Ouu how about a green bean, katamala olive, and fingerling potato salad
