Cocina 214 - Winter Park (FL)

5 /5 Emily Hahnel: Stopped in for a quick drink & they were so good, I had 2! Thank you to Natasha for making such wonderful cocktails: the Bergamot Orange Margarita (Mi Campo Blanco, Italicus Rosolio Di Bergamotto, agave, lime) & the Elderflower Margarita (Mi Campo Blanco, St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur, fresh raspberries, agave). For life of me, I cant decide which one I like more. I shall have to come in for another round!

1 /5 Edwin Dunbar: Concina 214 has a very unique dining concept. Get seated immediately, receive a glass of water, and then enjoy 15 minutes of staff pretending you’re not there. To make it even better, a party of 4–5 was seated after us and a server greeted them within minutes. So clearly service was happening, just not for our table. We eventually went to the bar to ask if we could order food there. The bartender said yes, kept making drinks, didn’t offer water or a drink, and never came back to take our order. We left hungry, but at least we didn’t have to wait for the check since no one ever took our order. I would have added pictures but considering all I got was a water, I’m sure everyone can use their imagination.

5 /5 Greg Brown: Good food and service. We took advantage of the happy hour. The drinks were tasty and we enjoyed the meal. Atmosphere is nice as well.

1 /5 Carlos Ruiz: We chose this restaurant for a group reunion and made a reservation for 15 people, expecting to enjoy a nice evening together. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing from the moment we arrived. Despite our confirmed reservation, we were seated at separate tables that did not fit our group. We politely asked to be moved to a table where all 15 of us could sit together, but the staff refused. We even spoke with the manager, Humberto, who was surprisingly rude and dismissive. Instead of trying to accommodate us, he simply said no. As customers, we expect at least basic courtesy and an effort to resolve issues, not to be treated as an inconvenience. To make matters worse, the service was just as bad. Our drinks arrived late and warm, and the food came out very delayed and not at the same time, leaving some of us waiting while others were already eating. For a planned group dinner, this completely ruined the experience. If we could give this restaurant zero stars, we would. Sadly, it seems they prefer to collect 15 well-deserved 1 star reviews rather than provide proper customer service. We will definitely not be returning.

5 /5 Eric Ghost: My wife and I visited Cocina 214 in Winter Park for the first time on Jan. 9. 2026, and we were very impressed. The food was excellent, and the service matched the quality of the meal. Our waiter, Cesar, was exceptionally attentive throughout the evening, checking on us regularly without being intrusive. He also caught that my wife’s dish included jalapeños and quickly stepped in to adjust the order when he realized she had missed that detail on the menu, which she really appreciated! I ordered the Viva Mexico plate, which was delicious, well-seasoned, and nicely presented. Excellent sangria, too! Overall, this was a great first experience, and we look forward to returning and trying more of the menu.
